Unanimously considered a quiet competitor to the city’s older favourites, Jalpaan has quickly earned a rather favourable reputation. They serve fondue – both the original swiss version and Italian herbed variety – and if that’s not enough to pique your curiosity, there’s a pav bhaji fondue too! They have the usual pizza, pasta, soups and salads, but the real star of the show is the Mughlai cuisine. The Nargisi Kofta is tender and delicately flavoured, the Banarsi Aloo’s creamy cashew gravy tantalises with its hint of curry leaf, and the rich, fragrant Badami Thandai drink is a meal in itself.
