Another addition to the ever-so-bustling food scene of
Connaught Place. The Junkyard Café is by Umang Tewari, the same person behind
Public Connection and Garam Dharam, among many others, and Junkyard is his best
venture by far according to me. Innovative, quirky, modern and fun- that’s how
I would describe this place.
Everything here is made of junk. Junk, something that doesn’t
hold any value for someone, but may so for someone else- that is what the
concept is. The décor, the utensils, the presentation, everything is made of
junk material, but it doesn’t like the common conception of junk; it instead
looks brilliant! Drawers, old typewriters and recorders, tyres, metal, glass
bulbs- you name it and they’ve made something out of it. The bar looks
fantastic with the light (was told it’s the longest bar in CP), one side of the
restaurant has a ceiling made of hundreds of bottles, a robot made of junk
metal, a dinosaur made of junk, walls made of tyres, drinks served in bulbs-
there’s just too much intricacy in these fine details. The place has colour in
everything! It looks so vibrant and appealing!
