Breakfast bonanza

Most of us are familiar with the adage: “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper”. But the daily grind hardly leaves much scope for a proper breakfast. Most of us just about manage a quick bite. However, if you are looking for breakfast joints in the city, you will not be disappointed! The United Coffee House (UCH), a landmark in Connaught Place that’s still popular with Delhi’s old-timers and curious tourists, has recently revisited its breakfast menu. Akash Kalra, the owner of UCH shares, “Our menu includes a selection of Indian, western and continental breakfast dishes at modest prices. From French toast to baked beans, waffles, croissants or pan cakes, open sandwiches to puri bhaaji, stuffed paranthas and chana batura our kitchen starts churns out everything from as early at 10 am.” If you are looking for a light breakfast of steamy, fluffy idlis, crispy vadas and dosas, then Saravana Bhavan, again in Connaught Place, is your best bet. “Starting at 8 am, we serve freshly made idlis, vadas, dosas, idiyappam and appams. Being in the heart of the city, we get clientele from across NCR including office goers, students and tourists,” says manager, Saravana Bhavan. While these joints have been popular options for a while now, there are many new places that have come up in the city. “We offer options to kick start your day with a host of breakfast options including salads, sandwiches, burgers, sausages and variety of breads. Some of the signature dishes are country French Benedict and shrimp Benedict,” shares chef Subhash Rawat of Eggspectation, Jaypee Vasant Continental.
