This chilly weekend, we decided to embark on a whimsical culinary journey at Plum Coffee and Cocktails, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Connaught Place. This recently opened establishment is not your average dining spot – it’s a portal to a world of extraordinary flavours and enchanting ambience that will leave you spellbound.
We started with the cocktails, where Plum Coffee and Cocktails truly shines. The Thai Me Up cocktail was a tantalising concoction that transported our taste buds to the vibrant streets of Thailand. With its blend of gin, kaffir lime, violet liqueur, citric, and tonic, each sip revealed a harmonious dance of exotic flavors that will leave you craving for more. If you’re feeling adventurous, the Popcorn Martini is a true showstopper. This magical elixir combines bourbon, homemade coffee shot, popcorn syrup, and citric to create a drink that’s both nostalgic and daring, like sipping a liquid fairytale.
For those seeking non-alcoholic delights, Plum Coffee and Cocktails presents mocktails that are anything but ordinary. The Fruit Collins was a refreshing symphony of cranberry, passionfruit, lychee, lime, and ginger ale, creating a vibrant melody of fruity goodness that will transport your senses to a tropical paradise. But wait, there’s more! The Delight Evening mocktail will take you, just like it took us, on an extraordinary flavour journey, blending cranberry, strawberry, mango, lime, peach, and soda into a glass of pure joy. Sip on this enchanting elixir and let your taste buds dance with delight.
Next we dived into the appetisers, where Plum Coffee and Cocktails showcased its culinary prowess. The Chicken Trio Tikka Platter was a tantalising feast for meat lovers, featuring succulent chicken tikka in three mouth watering flavours of afghani, tandoori, and malai that will transport you to the streets of Old Delhi. For a unique twist, we tried the Asparagus Tempura Sushi which combined the elegance of Japanese cuisine with a playful crunch, as each bite revealed a delightful contrast of textures and flavours. And don’t miss the Chicken Tahini Shawarma, a Middle Eastern delight that wraps tender chicken in warm pita bread, drizzled with a creamy tahini sauce that will transport you to the bustling markets of Beirut. The One Dozen Coin Hara Bhara and Dahi Kebabs added a touch of Indian flair to your culinary adventure, offering a delightful fusion of flavours that left our taste buds singing.
When it came to the main course, we tried the Cafe Dip Platter, which offered a heavenly assortment of pita, lavash, five types of dips, and labneh. We dipped, scooped, and savoured the explosion of flavours, as each bite took us deeper into a world of culinary bliss. But the true star of the show was the Pressure Cooker Calcutta Mutton Curry with Rice. This tender, slow-cooked mutton curry, infused with aromatic spices, was a testament to the culinary artistry of Plum Coffee and Cocktails. Paired with fragrant rice, it gave us an experience that took us straight to the bustling streets of Kolkata, where every bite tells a story.
To conclude this extraordinary journey, Plum Coffee and Cocktails presented us their top, chef-special desserts that were pure magic. The Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake was a dream come true for dessert lovers, combining the velvety smoothness of cheesecake with the irresistible crunch of Lotus Biscoff biscuits. Each bite was a symphony of flavours that left us floating on cloud nine. And for coffee aficionados – must try their Affogato Tiramisu for a heavenly revelation. This decadent Italian dessert marrying the rich creaminess of tiramisu with the bold flavours of coffee, created a harmonious blend that awakened our senses and left us craving for more.
Beyond the culinary delights, Plum Coffee and Cocktails wove an ambience that was nothing short of enchanting. The warm, welcoming staff added to the magic, ensuring that our dining experience was unforgettable from start to finish.
