This legendary haunt still lives up to its formidable reputation. The facade has been modernised, but remains discreet, and the palatial interior makes it look much more expensive than it actually is. The most striking thing about UCH is its wonderful atmosphere.
Of course, the main agenda on most people's list is the coffee! However, the food at UCH is superb, especially the North Indian fare, which is balanced and unadventurous, but filling and tasty nonetheless. There are also Chinese and Continental selections, as well as some nicely done snacks. The bar is beautiful despite its small size. Overall, UCH is well-suited for an informal evening out.
One caveat though is that it is ALWAYS full, and long queues are de rigeur. So call ahead, or be prepared for a wait!
