Connaught Place is an upscale market built by the British when they built the new Capital of India ‘ New Delhi ‘ in 1911.
Built in the shape of a horseshoe it has indeed been Lucky for all who established their trade here.
The happening Cha Bar is located on the First floor of Pratap Building in N Block of this historic shopping area. It is an intrinsic part of the adjoining and charming Oxford Book store.
I write about this Tea Bar as it radiates JOY and HAPPINESS. No one has paid me, nor am I obliged to write about it.
It is an Enchanting Forest of food, books and people.
The beautiful colonial architecture of Connaught Place is evident at the entrance itself.
The Cha Bar is a delightful place buzzing with energy. They serve a vast variety of Tea and an equally extensive range of very affordable snacks.
I played truant and chose the HOT CHOCOLATE which was absolutely yummy.
The glistening modern Cha Bar is getting ready to open its doors. The blue archways lead to the delightful OXFORD bookstore.
The Large Windows remind you of the past, whilst the interiors are smart and Modern .
Within minutes of opening, Cha Bar was chock-a-block Full . The low prices and excellent quality make it a favourite hangout for youngsters in particular.
Tea is called Chai ( or the colloquial Cha) in Hindi in India and many other countries in Asia including Turkey.
The uniforms of the staff are noteworthy, smart and chic.
As there were a number of people waiting for a table , we did not take the following message literally and limited it to Drink and Eat.
Come with me as we browse through some wonderful books.
Learnt how to make the pictures larger from my fellow blogger and Guru Priyanka. Thank you.
