The new outlet marks the brand’s return to the NCR and introduces a refreshed cafe and bar format easygoing during the day and lively at night. The Connaught Place café offers an all-day menu, featuring breakfast specials, comfort food, and creative bar bites, keeping the experience exciting from morning to evening.
Celebrating 24 years this year, Mocha has been a key player in shaping India’s modern café culture since its first outlet opened in Churchgate, Mumbai in 2001. Known for its cosy ambience and hearty food, the brand has always focused on creating spaces that feel like home where people gather, talk, and build memories.
Reflecting the vision behind the new space Riyaaz Amlani MD of Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd, shares, “Mocha is a state of mind. At its core, we embrace the spirit of letting you be. Each Mocha is designed as a unique retreat, offering a distinct experience every time you walk in. We waited for the right location to bring Mocha back to Delhi, and once we found it, we set out to create a true escape. In the heart of urban life. The result is a space designed to awaken your senses, redefine Delhi’s food and nightlife culture, and receive a warm, heartfelt response from the city’s food lovers.”
Rishub Malhotra Franchisee Partner, Mocha Café & Bar adds “Connaught Place has the vibrancy and cultural energy that perfectly match Mocha’s spirit. With Mocha Café & Bar, we wanted to create a warm, everyday space where great food, great cocktails, and great conversations come together. Mocha CP feels familiar yet fresh, the kind of place that quickly becomes ‘your spot’ in the heart of the city.”
Designers Prantap Trikha Founder of Praxis Studio & Asif Kureshi, Founder of The Matchworks shares “We wanted Mocha CP to echo the spirit of Lutyens Delhi through a softer, more fluid lens, modern boho sensibilities blended with the architectural and cultural cues of the neighbourhood. The design subtly draws from the idea of Fluid Lutyens Delhi with sculptural elements, botanical art and nods to neighbourhood landmarks such as Agrasen ki Baoli and Jantar Mantar creating an immersive yet understated connection to the area’s architectural heritage.”
Mocha’s all-day menu offers comforting, multicultural flavours for every mood, from Bun Maska & Chai, Korean Garlic Bun, Keema Ghotala, Smoothie Bowls and Global Omelettes to Purani Dilli inspired dishes, Asian bowls, pastas, pizzas, bao, burgers, momos, paninis, sandwiches and sizzlers.
Complementing its signature beverages, the cafe and bar format includes a curated alcohol menu with clarified cocktails, wines and premium spirits, ideal for meet ups, after work drinks or late night conversations.
