While discovering the capital, we came across a beautiful village in South Delhi named Shahpur Jat. Once a village, now a home to many beautiful cafes and boutiques, Shahpur Jat is a treat for all art lovers. The quaint little cafés are doing a good job in promoting the café culture. Here you can grab a book and sit for hours over coffee and good finger food. Here is a list of must visit cafes in Shahpur Jat to rejuvenate your soul -
Amidst the lanes of Shahpur Jat, lies a beautiful café run by beautiful and special people. The café functions on sign language and it is quite interesting how well the servers pull it off. With soothing ambience and a beautiful rooftop, Hearken stands out of other cafés in Shahpur Jat. Talking about their food, they have a pretty interesting and an elaborate menu. From simple Potato And Cheese Croquet to Chicken Crepes, the food speaks for itself. We started our meals with Chicken Quesadillas served alongside Yoghurt Pepper Crème, which turned out to be very promising. The Thin Crust Pizzas are something which you would not like to miss. One might want to get lost in a book while sipping on their Peanut Butter Shake made to perfection.
Known for serving authentic Bihari cuisine in Delhi, The Potbelly Rooftop Café will melt your heart with their homely wooden furniture, yellow brick wall counter and rustic interiors. Everything from their drinks to the main course will leave you wanting for more. One would not even mind climbing three floors to reach this heaven. Our meals commenced with their Meat Pakora Basket, and we could not wait to eat more. A Bihari meal is not complete without having their iconic dish, Litti Chokha it is a must-try at Potbelly. The delectable taste of Litti Chokha will linger long after, resulting in a great mouthfeel. Do not forget to try their Pineapple Shortcake served with vanilla ice cream. One might want to accompany it with their masala chai.
Ivy & Bean café is one of a kind of place in Delhi. Soft music, pretty interiors with loads of books would be the best way to describe this café. It offers diners a gamut of options and each one of them is well made with quality. The breakfast here is much talked about; they have a variety of eggs and pancakes. The Red Velvet Pancakes and the Tiramisu Pancakes are for sure not to be missed. Not only the breakfast, but they also have an elaborate all-day dining menu as well. One might love to try their Butter Garlic Prawns. A book lover would rejoice their time here reading along with a Mocha Hazelnut Coffee.
Nestled in the lanes of Shahpur Jat, Greenr Café is a blessing for anyone who would want to work outside the confined office space. A co-working space where you can spend hours with vegan and healthy food is what Greenr Café is about. Greenr offers a whole range of dishes to choose from, and each dish is full of good nutritious ingredients. They have teamed up with Blue Tokai for serving the perfect shot of espresso. While offering healthy food options, they are not compromising on the taste and they have the popular dishes made healthy way too.
