I visited this cute café
after a shopping spree with my cousin. It's conveniently located right opposite
the Connaught High Street building in Connaught Place, which currently houses a
massive H&M store. Thus, the café is ideal for a post-shopping bite.
It’s very welcoming with
its picturesque décor and well-lit atmosphere. The staff is friendly, courteous
and concerned about your experience without being too pushy. The dishes are
reasonably priced which is very welcome in the age of GST!
Run by the team behind
the iconic Tonino’s restaurant in Mehrauli, the café describes itself as a “Tuscan
villa style cafe with tiled floors and brick walls offering authentic Italian
dishes.” These high claims elicit high expectations. My cousin ordered the
Golden Chicken Burger, which was delicious. They happily customized it for us
by removing all vegetables as per preference. Served with Cajun fries, it made
for a filling and tasty lunch.
I ordered the Peri Peri
chicken, which the wait staff warned was extremely spicy. I asked for them to tone
down the spices to a medium level. My dish arrived with three medium sized
pieces of chicken, Cajun fries and a side salad. Unfortunately the chicken was
extremely spicy, despite my request. Moreover, it was tough, undercooked and had a strange taste. I had to leave the dish after ploughing my
way through one piece. The fries were delicious and the salad was satisfactory,
so I wasn’t left hungry.
Despite my
dissatisfaction, I was willing to pay the full bill, but the staff made sure
the price of the chicken was removed. This kind of service deserves a special
mention. I was ready to leave the restaurant with a flavor of disappointment in
my mouth; instead I left with a smile!
