Delhi is a livey and vibrant city that doesn’t believe in doing things halfway. The city is all or nothing, an attitude which reflects in its lifestyle and taste. There is nothing simple or subtle in the way the city projects itself, especially through the decor. Many five star hotels follow a very classy and refined look where their interiors are concerned but there are a lot of hotels that choose to go all out in terms of glamour. Taj City Centre Gurugram is one such property that is not only luxurious but is quite eye-catching as well. The hotel stands majestically near HUDA City Centre Metro Station in Gurugram. Housed in such a spectacular building is the hotel’s 24X7 coffee shop which goes by the name of Culina 44. The chic affluence of the coffee shop makes it a popular haunt for businessmen, families, corporates and in-house guests.
As we said before, about the glamour quotient of Taj City Centre Gurugram, Culina 44 reflects the same grandeur through its decor. The coffee shop is designed in a unique way, with high rising ceiling and plenty of use of glass. One entire wall comprises of clear glass peeking outside into the courtyard where few outdoor tables are added for the patrons to laze at. The glass wall also acts as the doorway into the coffee shop, which in turn is lavishly decorated. A vast sunnily lit room seems welcoming to the eyes, with the dining area laying out at the centre of it. You can have your pick at the dining style by choosing between a long sofa and a cozy round table. Culina 44 is elegant, earthy and sophisticated.
One is expected to find Culina 44 an expensive place to dine but, it seems justified when you consider the upscale ambience and the quality of food on offer. This 24X7 coffee shop is quite popular with the patrons and boasts of quite a menu. It travels around the globe and excels in North-Indian, Mediterranean, European, Asian, Chinese and Italian cuisines. Commence the menu with gilafi seekh kebab, buffalo wings, paneer sashlik, jalapeno cheese poppers, tandoori machchi ajwaini, aloo feta shikkampuri and chicken nuggets. Rest of the menu is a heady selection of curries, grills, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, burgers, oriental gravies and noodles. The variety is exhaustive so indulge freely. Wrap up with some of the innovative desserts like, paan ka gulab jamun, olive pistachio mousse, zafrani rasmalai and the much loved bull’s eye.
