THE ALL AMERICAN DINER
| Habitat World at
IHC is home to India's first Diner- 'The All American Diner' offering the Great American Meal Experience.
One of America's most recognised icons, 'The Diner' was born when
Walter Scott began to offer prepared food from a converted horse-drawn
freight wagon in Providence, Rhode Island in 1872. His lunch wagon
was an immediate success and others copied and improved on his concept.
These pioneers helped create an industry that would eventually produce
thousands of diners. |

Spread over the length and breadth
of the United States, each Diner has its own special look and menu.
Chances are that classic Burgers, Pancakes, Waffles, Malts, Shakes
and decadent 'All Day Breakfast' figure in most Diner menus. In fact,
to put it simply in Diner dialect, "If it ain't servin' breakfast
at any hour of the day, it ain't no Diner!"
'The All American Diner' is servin' large slices of nostalgia that
shall take you back in time- a time when ol' fashioned values and
ol' fashioned love reigned supreme. A time when Marilyn Monroe had
to share the adulation of millions not only with Lucille Ball but
also with Betty Boop. A time when even though Elvis was still around,
Rock 'n' Roll was King!

| The decor consists
of as authentic Diner memorabilia as anywhere, but this one is probably
one of the most stylized Diners in the world (even if we do say so
ourselves). Bric-a-brac, (predominantly tin and enamel plaques) has
been painstakingly collected from antique shops and flee markets throughout
the U.S., over the years. Plaques of iconic brands that have shaped
Americana as we know it today. With a limited edition 'Elvis' Wurlitzer
Juke Box that plays 50s', 60s' rock classics, an Elektra Crema Caffé
- the cadillac of all coffee machines and a Hamilton Beach Blender
- probably the last one with a retro 50s' look, each piece at the
Diner is a collector's item. |

The ol'-fashioned
Malts and Shakes notwithstanding, we offer an incredible range of
coffees & cocktails. And not just that, the grub here too is from
those glorious years - an era where the words 'Cholesterol', or 'Dieting',
did not exist...
Open to both non-members and members of the IHC, The All American
Diner is the second relaxation and eating facility, for the occupants of thirty-six institutions that are
housed within the IHC complex, delegates of various international
and other conferences held at Habitat World daily and visitors to
the many cultural programmes and exhibitions, for whom using the 'members
only' restaurants is not an option. |
