Abstract: A one-parameter family of two-sided coideals in $\mathcal{U}_{q} (\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}(n))$ is defined and the corresponding algebras of infinitesimally right invariant functions on the quantum unitary group $U_{q}(n)$ are studied. The Plancherel decomposition of these algebras with respect to the natural transitive $U_{q}(n)$-action is shown to be the same as in the case of a complex projective space. By computing the radial part of a suitable Casimir operator, we identify the zonal spherical functions (i.e. infinitesimally bi-invariant matrix coefficients of finite-dimensional irreducible representations) as Askey-Wilson polynomials containing two continuous and one discrete parameter. In certain limit cases, the zonal spherical functions are expressed as big and little $q$-Jacobi polynomials depending on one discrete parameter.
