Cafe Public Connection, Connaught Place

Cafe Public Connection was in my list from the day very first day. All that I heard was that I would be all together a different themed restaurants and by only listening to that i was very excited that I had already decided that I will be there for sure for a review. So, Here I was finally to review them.








How To Reach?




Reaching Cafe Public Connection is not a tough task at all as it is located in Connaught Place (CP) and to reach CP its not tough at all even if you're very new in city or from abroad. The best way to be here for everyone would be through metro if you do not have your own conveyance. You just simply have to board the metro from any of your nearby metro station and head towards Rajiv Chowk metro station. Once you're there at Rajiv Chowk Metro station then you simply have to locate F Block and there you are! This restaurant is in the very beginning of F Block and you could see big Black and White Hoarding written Cafe Public Connection that you can never miss. Frankly speaking, I didn't faced any difficulty while finding the place I am sure if you'll read my instructions above then you will be right on track! :)











Ambiance




Cafe Public connection is one of its kind themed restaurant in CP that I've seen so far. The main concept is to present different means of communication that has connected people so far starting Late 90s till now. The best part is that the restaurant is not based only on one particular theme but have loads of themes under one roof which is an experience on its own and not to be missed at all. They have different rooms or I shall say party rooms that you may reserve prior visiting the restaurant as these rooms are pretty much pre-booked and occupied as they're the center of attraction. They have rooms based on Sports theme, Bollywood, Hollywood etc. which has particular theme accordingly. at every corner you will see a different looks and shades that will never bore yo even if you've visited the restaurant many times. So, their ambiance is one of the best USP and something that needs to be experienced on your own.



























































Food & Drinks




If I talk about food, Cafe Public Connection serves more of a finger food and mostly North Indian as a basic cuisine. and if you pre-set your expectations accordingly before you visit then you'll never be upset as you'll get what you would have expected out of it.














Vegetarian




Paneer Tikka : It was good, Flavorful, accurate punjabi taste and flavor as a paneer tikka should have. Cottage cheese aka Paneer in hindi was soft and the appropriate marination of the masala was not making the bland paneer overpower anywhere in the dish which was very good to have and relish.












Chilly Mushroom : Chilly Mushroom was something that I'd recommend to every vegetarian as it was really very tasty and crispy and it was very close to Chilly chicken and for all those who cannot have it. It was really hot in spice. Would not like to say that it was very spicy but was not that much overpowering at all.





Cold Mezze Platter : This was again like any other mezze platter but, was fresh and cold unlike most of them. A lot of people say its a Cold Mezze platter but, they serve it in a room temperature. Which I really like in it.









Soya Seekh : This was the best Soya Seekh that I've ever had. Very moist and tender an on top of that it was really unbelievable that it was vegetarian as it does not let me any absence of a non veg seekh. Which would be a best quality in a Veg Seekh.













Non Vegetarian




Lasooni Chicken Tikka : This was a Chicken tikka but with a most prominent flavor of burnt garlic in it which was making this very tasty to have and the same time it was tender and cooked to perfection. The size of the tikka was appropriate and there would definitely be a repeat once you'll have a single serving.











Chilly Chicken : Nothing much to say an you may read the description of chilly mushroom that I've described above and all you gotta do is that you just have to replace mushroom with Chicken. :P











Fish Finger : It was something that everyone of us on the table relished and it landed up to our sweet cousins like fight among st each other fighting for the last piece of it. As a result of it we landed up again ordering second serving.













Mutton Seekh : As usual the mutton seekh was nothing something like "HATKE" but can;t be ignored too. The best seekh I've had so far was Cornish Seekh at Pamphilos but anyways it was a combination of mutton and chicken seekhs in one single bite but not comparing just wanted to canvey even if that was a dimple seek but it was actually fresh and made from their in house mutton mince.













Mains




In the mains to be very true I personally did not had any space left as I tried their Veg and non-veg starters a lot. But still as I wanted a feel over it then we ordered a Penne pasta in red sauce and Veg Biryani with Raita. Nothing much to say as I was stuffed like a teddy till then. and really loved the food even thought it was basic and more of a day to day North indian selection









Dessert




The dessert is the only thing that you always have an extra space even if you had food your belly burst out. We had Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream yes I agree that was something basic that I had but, couldn't help it as that wa sthe only dessert available in the menu. So, a bit disappointment over there.







Drinks




This is really a special section that I would like to mention as I really follow very few bartenders among Delhi's restaurant and one of them is Viju Raj. I finally had a chance to meet him at Cafe Public Connection. We really had a great time and he also made one of my favorite cocktail named, "Old Fashioned"a dn trust me I really loved it! I got that glass tasted to my other friends on the same table and they were so happy with its taste that I specially called up Viju so that we can say thanks to him. In return he said that he will do a pitcher of OLD FASHIONED specially for us and to my surprise when we got that pitcher we were amazed to see that it was so beautifully served in a Giant Silver Trophy which made our day and it was looking so good that before having it we all posed with that cocktail trophy and finally we departed after our heaviest Brunch for that day.











Final Verdict




This restaurant is a must try for its awesome environment and awesome cocktails that they do serve and if I talk about food then its good but so not expect a lot as it has a limited cuisine but, it really taste good and you would never have any complaints before you're leaving the restaurant. If I have to visit I am definitely checking in here!
