Indian Coffee House, located in the heart of the Capital in Connaught Place, is an institution by itself. It is run by the Indian Coffee Workers Cooperative Society which was started even before Independence. Over the years, Indian Coffee house has stood the test of time and remained much the same. You have a choice either to sit in the open air on the terrace and couch yourself indoor seating depending on the time of the year. But, open air seating is perfect for summer evenings and winter mornings.
The Indian Coffee House has an old world charm to it. They have waiters wearing white crisp uniform with red turbans taking their own good to serve people. There is huge variety in terms of the clientele at the ICH. Elderly people, who fondly visit out of sheer nostalgia , students who prefer a bit of retro, and government officials spend hours savouring coffee, chatting or discussing anything under the sun or just passing time.
There are a variety of dishes at the Coffee House that can tickle your taste buds
Coffee: Of course there is the coffee from which the establishment draws its name from. It tastes good and is generally served with cream or ice cream. The coffee is quite tasty and similar to the coffee served at any other coffee outlet like Starbucks, Barista or Cafe Coffee Day. Instead of paying a hefty sum at these outlets, I would recommend you to try out it at the Indian Coffee House.
Mutton Dosa: It is an unusual and a unique preparation and it is not found everywhere. The mutton stuffing is nice and spicy. The first time I had Mutton Dosa, I decided to return back.
If you love different flavours and believe in experimentation with your food, do give Mutton Dosa a try.
Mutton Cutlet: Dark brown in colour and crispy, every bite is divine. It is often said that the more oil you use to cook something, it automatically becomes delicious and Indian Coffee House follows that philosophy whole heartedly.
Cheese omelette: It is delicious and tastes really nice. The stuffing is good and the melted cheese tastes divine. The cheese omelette is served with two slices of breads making it a hearty snack.
Price: The Indian Coffee House makes you feel rich. You eat a good sumptuous snack yet you feel that little has been spent. Coffee is as low as Rs.13 and the menu card is pocket friendly and no food item is above Rs 80.
