Cha Bar scores for me on access and ambience before we even get to the menu and service.

Access: 5 minutes from Barakhamba Metro or Rajiv Chowk by Metro and Uber easy

Ambience: Clean, warm and welcoming, it is delightful to wait there instead of on the street surrounded by sea of books to browse/ buy as you wait. A place for meeting friends and catching up. Not a business atmosphere - can't see myself having a work discussion here.

Servers: The team from Manipur add their touch and their singsong greetings are sweeter for the efforts to get each table the chairs its occupants require

Menu: one of the biggest collections of teas and a limited coffee menu that serves cappucinos, lattes, americano's as well as filter coffee. Spiced Cappuccino and Hakuna Matata ( a kenyan filter coffee) are much recommended

Eats: decent shwarmas. My spinach and feta quiche was nice but over salted. the oat and multigrain muffins were yum. Bluberry muffins were sugared low and just right.

Service: It being a small and crowded eatery..the waiters are always busy and on the run..so it gets a bit difficult to catch their attention..but once you do..and place your order..your order is served within a matter of few minutes..the service is efficient.and waiters are friendly..they dont hover over..they serve and disappear leaving you to your business.

Pricing: Very affordable and easy on the pocket. The coffees were Rs 110 each with

tax. food was also similarly so. It is great value for money

The place is packed, particularly during office lunch hours but moves quickly. We got a table in 10 minutes.

It's still a favourite spot to hang out. A shout-out to the staff- all polite and...

A very pretty, cozy little cafe situated inside the Oxford Book Store in N Block, Outer circle in Connaught Place. I love how the entire place looks. The only major gripe that I have are the high noise levels! The decibel levels shoot through the roof once the place starts to fill up with patrons. Otherwise, there's absolutely nothing to complain really, provided you find a spot to sit! During peak hours, there is generally a little waiting. You can easily kill time by taking a stroll through the Oxford book store, if you love books!

Coming to the food, I love their cold coffee, jalapeno cheese poppers (which, somehow are mostly not available), and also their bun-anda paav, vada paav, and variety of other things which are available. Also, the fact that the entire menu is decently pocket-friendly means you don't end up burning a hole inside your pocket or bank account while visiting Cha-bar. The staff is pretty courteous and deliver your order within, say, 10 odd minutes at max irrepective of the fact that this place is almost always full, except perhaps in the morning when it opens, which is around 11am (or 1100hrs.).

Overall, it is a really nice, pocket-friendly place to go catch some evening snacks post work or even generally to meet up friends, etc, Cha-bar works perfectly. I've been a regular here for a few months here and this place hasn't disappointed me. Just don't go there expecting an assortment of 'fine-dining' items and you should be fine. Take it more like a canteen sort of...
