Set against the colonial backdrop of Lutyens’ Delhi, SOCIAL’s new outlet celebrates bold tastes and bites, says ABHI SINGHAL

With already 56 outlets in operation, SOCIAL, the hyped café-bar has opened its 57th outlet in Connaught Place, and it is nothing short of a love letter to Delhi’s past. The newest outlet has its walls in the heart of the capital, Lutyens’ Delhi.

SOCIAL blends the charm of India’s postal legacy with the brand’s signature edge, creating a one-of-a-kind dining and cultural experience.

Bold Flavours, Big Cravings

SOCIAL’s food offering continues to impress, and Connaught Place SOCIAL is no exception. The menu is a mix of crowd favourites and exclusive new creations, catering to every mood and palate. The Butter Chicken Biryani is a must-try, rich, creamy and

indulgent. The Crispy Corn Chakhna and Fully Loaded Nachos are perfect bar snacks, while Old School Chicken Tikka and Paneer Tikka bring smoky, satisfying flavours to the table.

The Hot Tennesee Chicken Wings in the Munchies section is delicious and juicy with fried chicken wings tossed in a delicious hot sauce. Vegetarians will also enjoy the Bell Pepper Pizza, a zesty and cheesy delight. From the momos section the momo lovers can enjoy Classic Veggie Momos and other variations, with street taste and dough softer like no other.

A Cultural Playground

More than just a café or bar,  the Connaught Place SOCIAL is set to become a buzzing cultural hub like its other outlets. With plans to host live music, curated performances, and artistic pop-ups, it is designed as a space where Delhiites can connect, create and celebrate. It is not just about the food or ambience, it is an experience in itself.

Social Substantials

From the special section you have many options like the Classic Mac N Cheese Pasta, Keema Spaghetti  Pasta,  for the main course lovers — Kadhai Paneer, Dal Makhani, Punjabi Kadhi Chawal and much more to savour.

Ambience: A Post Office Reimagined

Inspired by the nostalgia of the Indian Post Office, this café-bar brings the bygone era of handwritten letters and telegrams alive through its immersive design. Every corner pays homage to the past, from vintage currency notes and old postal stamps to framed letters, telegrams, and even sorting tables repurposed as service counters. The grand oval-shaped bar draws inspiration from British-era teller windows, and the palette of deep reds, forest greens, and rich wooden textures instantly transports guests to a sepia-toned memory lane. The vibe is old-world yet electric, making it ideal for work, play or both.

Choosing is your power

The #Atmanirbhar China Box in the menu is where you can make your own combos by customising what you want to get added in there. You have the options of Fixes — paneer, chicken, prawn; Sauces — hot garlic, shezwan, social sexo and more; Carbs — fried rice, hakka noodles, steamed ric and the egg fried rice. Your choice, your taste!
