There are few things I enjoy more than stumbling upon a new culinary gem in Delhi, a city whose gastronomic landscape is as dynamic as its history. My recent excursion led me to Uncle's, nestled in the heart of Basant Lok, Vasant Vihar – a locale that, for me, has always been a fascinating crucible where disparate cultures meet and stories, both old and new, converge. Now, let's be clear, this isn't just any new eatery. Uncle's, I discovered, is a brainchild of Hungry & Thirsty Hospitality, a brand that, in its own words, "celebrates the essence of Indian warmth and tradition." And indeed, they seem to have quite the portfolio, from the "bold flavors and unapologetic energy" of Red to the "chic flair" of Miss Pinto, and even QSR ventures like Sassy Begum. But Uncle's, as Anupam Dutta, the founder, eloquently put it, is about "connection and nostalgia," a space that feels less like a restaurant and more like – well, your uncle's home. Stepping into Uncle's, designed by 'The Brewhouse & Décor India,' one is immediately struck by its unassuming charm. The all-glass windows, adorned with quirky artwork, manage to be both minimalist and vibrant, allowing the city’s pulse to remain just outside, while inside, a tranquil haven awaits. It’s a space that comfortably accommodates around 52 souls, and the decor – replete with eccentric photographs and the kind of timeless music that wraps around you like a warm embrace – instantly fosters a sense of ease. It’s the kind of place where conversations flow as freely as the drinks, and memories, both recent and distant, find a comfortable perch. But what truly distinguishes Uncle's in Delhi’s ever-burgeoning café scene, which, by the way, is not just surviving but thriving, isn't just the delightful ambiance or even the complimentary Uncle Chips chaat (a clever nod to nostalgia, that). No, it's the sheer inventiveness of their food menu. Seated in a cozy corner, a special eight-course menu was presented, promising a journey of flavors. We began, as any civilized person should, with a cocktail. Their signature Desi Andaz, a concoction of Indian Scotch and potli masala, was a delightful start.
