Quote Bar, Connaught Place

Tucked in the busy lanes of Regal Square complex, Quote Bar is just a six- month-old bar and lounge, still trying to carve a niche among its patrons. It's located right above Café Coffee Day outlet, with which the restaurant shares a common entrance, which tends to create a confusion for customers. Moreover, there is just a small "Q" sign at the entrance and a small sign on the first floor and one at the rooftop.The moment one reaches the entrance, the staff will escort the diner to the restaurant.

The bar is spread across two floors with aesthetic architecture. The moment one enters the premises,there is a giant colourful beer mug design on the wall with various funny and serious quotes. While the lower floor has seating arrangements, the upper level is a bar with high seating, couches and a DJ area in a corner. The music is at a bearable decibel level, allowing conversations to take place.

Coming to food, Quote Bar offers Indian and Continental. In starter, we tried Dahi Kebab, Tandoori Paneer  marinated with spices and crusted with papad  in vegetarian, and in non-vegetarian we tasted Crispy Chicken with basil and chilly.Tandoori Paneer was good,but I found nothing new in Dahi ke Kebab. Next on our plate was Smoked Chicken Pizza - with olives, oven dried tomato and rocket. The pizza was a thin crust and good to eat.In the main course,we tried Quote Bar special, which includes popular Indian cuisine from all regions. We were served Punjabi Chicken Tikka Masala served with Lacha Parantha and Kadhai vegetable and Chicken Chettinad with Lemon Rice and Vegetable Porial and Malabar Parantha, which was the winner. „
