United Coffee House Rewind - Cyber City Gurgaon



UCH Rewind has achieved quite a fame in NOIDA and has been on my list since it opened its doors in Gurgaon a few months ago. They have outdoor as well as indoor seating, but indoor is quite better. The interiors are all done up with loads of wood and blues and it gives a warm feeling to the place.



The Mushroom Cappuccino is a delightful soup but with a milk froth on top, which might dip its temperature. The menu of the place is a quite old school with a mishmash of Indian, Continental, Chinese, Italian and Mexican dishes. And that is perhaps too overwhelming. Considering the fact that they are good at almost everything they do, a thick menu can be confusing.



Makai Malai Seekh is one of my recommended vegetarian starters on the menu. It is a seekh version of corn rolls and tastes absolutely great. Especially because they have the goodness of cheese and corn and like corn rolls, they are not fried.


Patiala Paneer Tikka is our routine Paneer Tikka but if you like a tinge of spicy, this one is wow. The


If you like fish, their version of Fish and Chips, that's the South Hall Fish Fingers is very good. I especially liked the fact that it wasn't oily et all and fried quite well. The Mutton seekh kebab is tasty but not wow.

In mains, I had the Lahori Meat, it is a signature recipe of the pre-partition era and is mutton cooked in chana dal. Try it only if you love the classics. And the idea of dal in your mutton. For bread, I picked up Paranthas to go with the meat and it turned out to be a good idea.

The Paneer Khurchan invokes a hint of nostalgia for home and home cooked food. Except for the rumali rotis that come with the cottage cheese.


What takes the cake, literally are the desserts and coffee.The Warm Fudge Cake is made better by adding Oreo cookies over it. The Tutti Frutti Sundae is a house specialty and is a recommended try. Another great dessert is the Atomic Kala Jamun, a huge Gulab Jamun which comes with a creamy top. It's hot and tastes exceptional.

United Sazarac is what we ordered for drinks. The place is a coffee shop with a bar. I didn't find the idea too good. I am little old fashioned that way and the addition of drinks does give a good option for patrons. But the drink was okay. 

What is great is their coffee. Especially the Cona Blend. I am sure the tea would have been great but I went with Cona. Came with milk and cream separate and tasted great. 

United Coffee House Rewind is a great place to unwind I would say, to have real conversations over good food and good coffee.

Genocide in Gaza: How colonialism has alienated you from your own humanity

The discomfort you feel speaking up about genocide in Palestine: How colonialism has alienated us from humanity Why does speaking about Gaza feel so unsettling? There is an undeniable discomfort that arises when we speak of genocide in Gaza, a conflict rooted not only in geopolitics but also in a long history of colonialism. That discomfort? It is a manifestation of how deeply colonialism has alienated us from our own humanity. It has made us bystanders, distant observers, to a grotesque tragedy that demands our empathy and action. Every day, the children of Gaza are bombarded by forces much larger than themselves—forces of colonial interests, global profits, and silent complicity. How many of us have spoken up about the atrocities in Gaza? How many of us have chosen silence because the violence feels too far away, too complex, or too heavy to carry? That silence—our silence—perpetuates a chasm in our spirit, a gap that must be bridged if we are to mend not just Palestine, but the fray

Should parenting be a certainty? A hard look at who should be raising kids

“Sometimes I think the answer lies in wondering if the lives we are creating for others are better than the ones we inherited ourselves.” I am convinced that many people who are parents should not be. It is a bold statement, but when you strip away the romanticised lens through which we have been conditioned to view parenthood, it becomes harder to ignore the underlying truth: parenting is not something to be taken lightly. Nor is it a choice that should be made unless you are 100% certain —mentally, emotionally, and financially ready for it.  Is parenting more than just a biological destiny? The moment you announce that you are pregnant, society collectively leans in, nods approvingly, and asks about baby showers and cribs. The truth? Being responsible for an entire human being is incredibly tough—life-altering, in fact. Yet, people still push forward with the idea that it’s something “ you just do, ” that it will all work out because, well, doesn’t it always? In reality, parenting is
