United Coffee House

we visited place on a Friday evening and it was busy but the service was fantastic. Ordered vegetable tempura, which was battered not on the tempura flour and came out like bhaji. Apart from that, the curry was good, and the chicken cutlet was average. Bit overpriced, but if you want to have a variety of cuisine at one place and have no budget restrictions, then go for it.

Stepping into the United Coffee House is like stepping back in time. The regal decor and sophisticated ambiance transport you to a bygone era of elegance. Unfortunately, my experience with their hot chocolate was a disappointment. It tasted like watered-down cocoa with no discernible flavor of chocolate or milk. We ended up returning it, which was a shame. However, the nachos were absolutely splendid! They were perfectly crispy and generously topped, making up for the disappointing beverage. So, maybe skip the hot chocolate and go straight for the nachos!

While the ambiance and food at United Coffee House are good, the service is far from it. A particular staff member with grey hair was especially rude, making the experience unpleasant. I understand the waiting time and the need for quick orders, but the way it was enforced—restricting orders to food only between 1-4 PM and delivering instructions in a rude tone—was disappointing. Hospitality should be about the experience, not just efficiency.

While the United Coffee House boasts a long history in Delhi, its age seems to be its only redeeming quality. My recent visit left me thoroughly unimpressed. The food was subpar, especially considering the numerous better options available in the vicinity. The mutton dish I ordered was dry and over-fried, a far cry from what I expected. Service was incredibly slow, and the staff seemed more interested in congregating around the billing counter than attending to customers. To add insult to injury, the famed South Indian filter coffee was served in a kettle with separate milk and coffee, a strange and inconvenient presentation. Overall, my experience at the United Coffee House was a major disappointment. I would definitely recommend giving this place a miss.

Got a recommendation from my colleague that was a nice restaurant to explore. For food we ordered the Free Range Jidory Chicken Bridge which has Cilantro & Mint Scented Chicken Tikka, Jaggery blushed Chicken Tangri and Harissa Bloomed Chicken Parche. We also ordered the Pyaaz Amritsari Kulcha which came with Punjabi chikkad chole and onion relish. Lastly we ordered the Rogan-E-Josh. Overall my favorite was the Harrissa Bloomed Chicken Parche, it had great flavor and the tenderness was great. We were a bit disappointed with the Rogan-E-Josh. Nice place for food, great aesthetics and bougie restaurant!

One of the oldest multicusine restaurants in CP with nice ambiance. It’s one of the choicest places to be visited with family and friends. The service is a bit slow but the staff is courteous and soft spoken. We tried coriander lemon soup which was good. The other items tried by us include fish tikka, chicken malai tikka and pepper chicken sizzler. The overall experience was excellent with respect to food quality and taste as well as service.

Visiting from Toronto, decided to visit Connaught Place and one of our old haunts - United Coffee House !! Met a couple of old friends and relived some good memories over lunch. The restaurant looks as elegant as always, the decor is just a beautiful as over a few decades ago. Had a few vodka sodas as well as Pina Coladas . The menu is quite extensive and we can attest to the amazing quality and taste of most of the dishes from our years of visiting UCH. It can be an Indian dish, middle eastern or even European - the dishes are prepared well and tasteful. We had a selection of breads - Latchha parathas, pudina paratha as well as butter naan along with a non-vegetarian kebab sampler and Shahi Mattar Methi Malai . Staff are friendly, attentive and helpful with the menu . Pleasantly surprised at the doorman still present at the restaurant entrance.

The only good part about this place is ita old school charm ambience. The food and drinks ate overpriced but very average to taste. The staff is slow and uninterested. My recommendation will be to give it a miss.
