Uber Lounge

The front facade

The DJ console

The seating and lighting

Located at the M Block market in G.K. II, the Uber Lounge doesn’t come across as much from the outside. But as they say, don’t judge a book by the cover. Likewise, don’t judge a lounge by the facade. Step inside and you instinctively like what you see. The decor is relatively plain and the place is quiet. Filled with people sipping on their coffee/ hot chocolate and engrossed in conversations.

If you want a little peppy music, a comfy place to snuggle into and dim lights, step into the deck below. The first thing you notice is the DJ console and the songs. Very much like a stereotypical lounge, minus the alcohol. But the variations of coffee, hot chocolate and sumptuous dishes more than makeup for it. Best part, it’s not too expensive!

The ambience:

Whether you’re looking at a quiet date with that special someone, or a catching up session with friends, it scores on both counts. The upper floor serves as a great touch point for business discussions. The basement is ideal for a relaxing evening, accompanied by great coffee.

While the upper floor has more conventional seating, the basement has long cushioned seats you can sprawl out on. One of them actually looks like a bed with a table embedded in the center. There is enough leg room, even for the ones above the average height and the seating area is really comfortable. There is free Wi-Fi (at least, at the time of writing this, it was free) and the staff is helpful but non intrusive.

Rating: 7/10

The food:

The spread is elaborate. Both in the beverage and the food section. As for the quality, it’s impressive. What it lacks on a little, though, is quantity. If you have a normal appetite or have gotten together for a pre-dinner snack, it’s good. If you’re really hungry, however, it may not suffice.

The scoring points are the soups and the hot chocolate. And the French fries. Order the French fries. In terms of the pricing, it’s not exorbitant, given the location. In fact, 300 bucks a head should give you a decent variety. And the best part is that the waiting time for the food isn’t painfully long.

Rating: 8/10

Overall:

Definitely worth a visit. Or two. And the rush isn’t too much so it isn’t that difficult to get your own little corner where you can be at peace with yourself, or with company. Either ways, if you’re headed to that side of town, take a little detour.
