Caara, the bespoke catering company, now runs a lovely cafe at Malcha Marg in Chanakyapuri {in collaboration with Ogaan}. Simple and minimal, the cafe has a few tables inside and a lovely terrace area with overlooking bougainvillaea. Full points for aesthetics - in contrast to the blooms, the cushions match the crockery and both are in variants of indigo.
I chose a sunny corner table to sip on the flat white and get some work done. It came with a tasting portion of moist orange cake. The little touches are everything! Speaking of which, they let you add marshmallows to your hot chocolate {'tis the season}.
For lunch, I ordered the linguini with the famous Caara pesto. Dressed with crisp shallots and a generous grating of parmesan, it was wholesome and delish. The meal ended with a divine slice of a carrot cake.
Caara has definitely got the food right. But more importantly, the service is excellent - not only was I given a bigger table to have a comfortable workspace, I was also never interrupted. Plus, the cafe opens at 8.30am and the breakfast menu sounds like an absolute winner. Caara classic broken eggs, I'm coming back for you!
