Cafe Knosh

It takes a lot for an all-day dining restaurant to break away from the stereotypical conventions assigned by the industry. Many times they try through their exciting menu or by giving the diners a gorgeous ambience to revel in. New Delhi has its generous share of luxurious 24X7 eateries, part of those glitzy hotels that pops up on every second corner. It has seen a variety of set-ups but there are a few surprises left still. Take ‘Café Knosh’ for instance. The restaurant is part of posh The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel in Vivek Vihar and attracts quite a bit of suits, as the place gives them an elegant hush-hush background for important negotiations. Being an all-day dining venture Café Knosh is always buzzing with activity although it still maintains its business front.

The place is favoured by ladies living in the vicinity for a quiet brunch. As the day starts pretty early for them having a lavish breakfast here is a good idea. Their menu is a combination of North Indian and Continental dishes, which can be enjoyed with a bottle of wine or a glass of iced tea, whatever suits your mood.
