United Coffee House

if u are a frequent CP-visitor and a foodie by birth , just like me and my hubby , well , u cannot ignore this place . Amidst the hustle-bustle of CP , the chaat-waala tempting u to dig into those mouth-watering masaaledaar dal-chaat or aaloo-chaat , if u are in the mood for some real food , this is simply ur destination , where ur food hunt comes to an end . If u visit CP and dont eat here once , I am sorry , u lost it ...On most occasions , u would see a long list of people waiting for their turn to get in , and yes , u will have to wait , come on , achchha khaana paane ke liye thoda time to khona partaa hai na !!!!The friendly old man at the entrance will keep on apologising 2 u for the delay and will assure u that it wont take much long .. well . we being regulars now , he has actually started recognising us !As u step in , u cant help but look up at the huge chandelier on the ceiling . The beautifully done ceiling definitely needs a mention here ... There are a lot of tables , but as there is always a crowd , u will have to really look around for a place ( me and my hubby have our own special favourite table , which we manage to get most of the times ..... thankfully ) . The waiter hands u the menu and then starts ur real test ... what to order ... in an amalgamation of the most fine dishes , how can u afford to select one and miss out on the other ... well , looks like u will have to come over next time for the remaining many dishes .. If u are a non-veg : ) , u can go in for all the meat options , they are simply a treat .. butter chicken , mutton curry , murg handi , murg lababdar , there is meat cooked in spice and herbs , meat cooked in nuts and cheese , meat in simply hot spices , murg tikkas , kebabs , tandoori , sizzlers and absolutely all the varities of yummy meat ... In veg , u should definitely try out their dal makhani .. its a sure shot winner . there is kaali dal , there is spicy paneer , kadahi paneer , shahi paneer , a few other paneer preparations , ther is a very good dish in aloo , i really dont remember right now , but do ask the waiter please ... For add-ons , u may have rumali roti , tandoori roti , lachha parantha , pudina parantha , or aloo-naan , or butter-naan ..... thats just gonna melt in ur mouth ... its ok to cheat on the diet part once in a while , dont u agree !!! For starters , u may select the soup varieties , they are quite good . Plus as the wait time for food will be a bit longer than usual ( the place is always loaded with people ) , its a good idea to order together and ask for the soup or drinks to be brought first . For drinks , u can go in for beer , i dont think thats the only hard drink they have, but as i am not really knowledgable on it , i will leave that to my fiance to write about ....For families with kids , u can ask for the kid-chair , they have arrangements for the same .. The ambience is very nice , with friendly waiters and good music in the background , not too loud ad neither too soft .. There is also a live performance by their in-house singer , whose attempts are not too great , but quite good .The food is very reasonably priced and there is the option of paying through yuor card .United Coffee House is a sure-shot winner all the way , u can assess its popularity by the various groups of people waiting patiently outside , just to get in and dig in to their favourite dishes . Whether a romantic evening , a business dinner , a casual meeting with acquaintances , family or friends outing , or just a quick grab , this is THE PLACE in saddi Dilli !!! Do let me know once you go out for this gastronomical extravagance ... till then , just think of the yummy food ... he he he ..
