A Thali Full Of Delights At Kathputli Restaurant

Run by vegetarian duo Vipul and Divya Gupta, Kathputli Restaurant in Defence Colony gives you a taste of Marwari cuisine made with desi ghee, sans onion and garlic—and we’ve been hearing great things.

Marwari Thali

Aam Panna, Chaach

In the more or less urban Defence Colony Market, Kathputli comes as a colourful breath of fresh air, with peeps dressed up in traditional folk attire playing instruments and creating a little corner of music. The word kathputli means puppet; a glimpse at the decor explains why-  the colourful display of puppets makes you feel as though you’re about to enter a Rajasthani haveli.

The menu offers a traditional and authentic thali, which includes delicacies like Sabut Mirchi Pakoda, Daal Panchmel, and Sookhi Gobhi Shaak, along with a side of poppadoms. The food is served in handcrafted German silver, putting a touch of elegance and sophistication in to these homely meals, and making you feel a bit like a maharaja or maharani.

So, what we’re saying is, head here for diverse and authentic tastes of Marwari, Rajasthani and Gujarati cuisines without even leaving the city.

Price: INR 900 for two {approx.}
