Kapoor’s Cafe
Readers’ Vote
Punjabi By Nature
A top favourite in the area if you’ve got North Indian food on your mind, especially breakfast, Kapoor’s Cafe dishes out everything from butter-laden parathas {with stuffings of your choice} to flavourful Punjabi Dal Tadka. Regulars here vouch for the Paneer Degchi Dilliwale which comes with just a hint of sweetness. Perfect to be paired with their parathas or the soft Fulkas. And for your lunch plans, they have thalis with plenty of combos to spoil you for choice!

A small joint that serves homely North Indian specials, Rafoo Chakkar may not be too high on ambience but it definitely won’t let you down on the taste factor {we suggest you order in}. One of the must-try dishes here is their Tandoori Momos, which they describe as the ‘Punjabification’ of the dumpling. Follow it up with some of their creamy Butter Chicken and Naan, and you’ve got yourself a filling meal.

Nicely done up with a cheerful ambience, Happy Singh is perfect for team lunches or catching up with friends over some delicious food. Skip their Chinese dishes and go straight for the North Indian options {only vegetarian} on their menu. From favourites like Kadhi Pakora and Dal Pancharatan to Amritsari Paneer, they have quite a lot for you to choose from. If you’re confused by the menu, pick their thali {available in Regular and Deluxe versions} and tuck in. Oh, and don’t forget to get yourself some lassi to go with it.

Thanks to its location near the ITPL gate, this no-frills restaurant is bound to be crowded during lunch time on most days. But if it’s North Indian khana that you’re craving for, Kakaji will sort you out. Dishes of aloo, paneer and dal along with parathas, rice and other Indian breads are what you’ll find in their menu. They also have combos which give you helpings of rice, rotis, sabzi and dal along with raita or curd. All at pocket-friendly rates, too.

Don’t be surprised if you feel like you’ve stepped into a royal darbar of sorts when you enter this restaurant. With its Mughal-style interiors {think ornate chandeliers and lighting}, Ji Hazoor’s ambience is what will lure you here, and then the food might just convince you to come back every now and then. We suggest you pick from their choice of starters {the Prawn Tak-a-Tak, perhaps?} before you tuck in to some biryani {in vegetarian, mutton and chicken versions}.
