Well-known restaurateur Riyaaz Amlani’s love for nostalgia is evident in almost all the SOCIAL outlets that have opened so far. The recently opened Connaught Place SOCIAL is no exception. This new establishment is a lovely tribute to the Postman and the dying art of letter writing.
The interior vibe
The Connaught Place SOCIAL transports you to an era when letters reigned supreme as the primary means of communication, fostering warm and lasting connections despite physical distance.
The CP outlet is a tribute to Pin Code 001’s rich cultural legacy and a fresh take on the city’s past—all served with SOCIAL’s signature quirky charm.
The interiors pay tribute to the Indian Post Office, so vintage currency notes, postal stamps, framed postcards, locker rooms, and lost letters are all part of the decor. Inspired by the teller windows of British-era banks, the grand oval island bar is another highlight of Connaught Place SOCIAL.
Food & More
When it comes to food, there’s a wide variety and something for everyone. Whether you are looking for Puraani Dilli Chaat Walk, the famous Bombay Bachelors sandwiches, a Kebab platter, a Mezze platter, or simply the colourful Chinese Thali – a mix of Momos, spring rolls, noodles, and a Chinese Bhel to munch on. Healthy options include guacamole and black bean burgers, the classic South Hall Fish N Chips served with a Desi Tadka. More Desi options include Killa Kulcha Thali served with chole and Imli Ki Chutney.
Quirky mocktails, such as Sanskari Mojito, and cocktails like Aacharoska and Thai Maalish are interesting to try. Refreshing sugarcane juice and apple carrot juice perfectly complement the food.
The fun continues with desserts, where Ramesh and Suresh evoke childhood memories. The layered cake, featuring three types of mousse and topped with a decadent drizzle of hot chocolate ganache, is truly Instagram-worthy.
