It is a space where neon light shines upon cosy bars and restaurants. Hence, here are the must-try restaurants when you are in and around the Khan Market area.
The quirky Mumbai-style Iranian cafe comes to Delhi with SodaBottleOpenerWala. Built with affection and an aesthetic that would please both Freddie Mercury and Monty Python, this cafe with its old-world charm is a nostalgia trip. The food is quintessential Irani Cafe with Bun Maska, Parsi Bheeda Par Eeda - an egg preparation with lady fingers and the Kolmi Fry (fried prawns). The signature Parsi dish, Patra Ni Machi is a must-try. The dishes are well-priced keeping in view the modest pricing of the original Irani cafes. The Masala Pepsi is an interesting desi twist on the plain old cola.
The latest addition to the chill, cafe-type bars in Khan Market is Immigrant Cafe and it has got a relaxing ambience, an experimental menu and is perfect for when you want a place to catch up with your BFFs. Staying true to its name, the decor is full of experimental elements including industrial lights, multi-canvas world maps and wall installations made of pipes and empty whiskey bottles. The menu is full of familiar, desi dishes with a modern twist. The appetizer’s menu including Pindi Dounuts, Hummus Platter with Pita, Butter Chicken Samosa as well as the Sweet Greek Watermelon Salad. We recommend washing it all down with cold beers or cocktails like Margarita or Daiquiri.
A blend of vintage and floral interiors rules this place. The wooden furniture and hanging lights make this place the perfect spot for a romantic coffee date. Espresso, Latte, Mocha – they have got it all. Try to look for a place in the balcony amidst the flower pots and the rustic beams for a movie-like ambience for your caffeinated escapades. The menu entries are built on the celebrity chef’s unrivalled experience and exposure in the world of gastronomy, with classic dishes like Milk Fed Baby Lamb Chops, Chef’s Chicken Burger as well as Fish and Chips with Tartar Sauce honed to perfection.
Smoke House Deli in Khan Market is the second outlet of the branch in Delhi after its original in Connaught Place. The quaint vintage space lined with ink sketches on the plush white walls is a sight. Do try their extensive breakfast menu (available all through the day) containing the likes of cereals, granola chunks with honey, seasonal fruits, stuffed omelette, salmon and wasabi. The mains and appetizers do not disappoint either. Sautéed Tenderloin Lamb Stroganoff, Herb Crusted Lamb Chops, Pan Seared Salmon and House Spiced Smoked Chicken are a must-try.
One of the most sought-after Pan-Asian restaurants in town, Mamagoto packs some of the most lip-smacking East Asian and Oriental delights. The quirky ambience is a bonus. Mamagoto literally translates to playing with food in Japanese. This 'play' of flavours stand out in all the dishes offered by the restaurant. One must try their Thai Crispy Vegetables, Kungpao Chicken, Coal Fried Egg-Plant and Tempura Shrimp.
Mr Choy is a cosy cafe buzzing with a quirky birdcage, interesting lamps and paintings. With a menu showcasing an interesting range of bao, sushi and dumplings, Mr Choy is garnering quite some attention for its flavourful Oriental and Pan-Asian delicacies. One must try the Assorted Dim Sum Snack Bowl, Filipino and Chinese Style Thin Noodles with Black Bean Sauce, Belgian Pork Belly Bao in Barbeque Sauce, Pork Dumplings and more!
The Big Chill café serves food that is of absolutely fantastic quality. Italian restaurants come and go in Delhi, but this one is here to stay. The Chicken Pasta with Piri Piri Sauce is delicious and the Veggie Penne Primavera is to be relished as well. The Big Chill has the best milkshakes in town and a stunning array of desserts and pies. Everyone should definitely try the Mississippi Mud Pie and then come back for more.
This restaurant is smartly laid out with a cheery decor and soft music. Sidewok has Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other South East staples on its menu. You can start off with Chilly Pork - tenderized, wok-fried meat lit up with tingles of Sichuan Peppercorns. The Seafood Rice with Dry Scallop Sauce, Burnt Garlic Soup and Prawns Panang Style are not-to-be-missed. Portion sizes are very much old-school, each packing enough food for at least 2 diners. The reason Side Wok has folks often returning for a meal is for their consistently good food.
This small and charming origami-themed eatery is possibly the busiest restaurant at Khan Market with a long line to get in during lunch and dinner. In terms of the food, the Ramen Soup with Noodles is a good option as it is a whole meal. Other must-haves are the Geisha Sushi Roll (Prawn Tempura and Crab), Prawn Hargao, Tuna Pizza and Mochi Ice Cream. At Yum Yum Cha the usual dim sums and sushi of course, are spectacular like always but the latest addition of the Mock Duck in the menu is mind-blowing. This new outlet is a winner, the new items stay true to the restaurant's USP.
