Kamal's food Kamaal ka !!

Kamal's at Sunder Nagar Market
That's not Chicken !!
Street food can be surprising in Delhi, and especially at unpretentious places, like this one at Sunder Nagar Market. This small kiosk on the road-side of Sunder Nagar market probably has the best kept vegetarian secrets in Delhi. Though the place has the looks of any regular dhaba, the quality of food would be quite a surprise. Incredible is all what you can say about the food.

For die-hard vegetarians, must tries include Paneer Tikka, Aloo Bharwa Tikka, Gobhi Tikka, Soyabean Chaap Tikka, Veg Kebab, and Mushroom Tikka .

Must try:
Paneer Tikka,
Aloo Bharwa Tikka
Gobhi Tikka

Reaching There
Right on Sunder Nagar Market on Mathura Road. The place is usually crowded unless you come in early or late enough. Finding a good parking spot might be a hassle.

Get Drunk Drinking Milk

The Milk Tawa
I know that is a preposterous statement. No, I did not want to make you a fool on April 1, nevertheless I am happy that you want to know more.

For all who hated drinking milk as a kid, yes we are on the same page, and believe me, if you did not try this place, you have missed something. The place is just outside Jama Masjid Gate No 1; the corner shop just before Karims. You will see a guy in front of a huge tawa boiling milk, and a modest crowd surrounding the tawa, each waiting for their turn to gulp a glass. The milk is boiled to a to a slurry and topped with a bit of Rabdi (condensed milk), and served in earthern pots. Gulp a glassful, and you should be immediately feeling a burst of serotonin.
Where: Kallan Sweets, Near gate No 1, Jama Masjid

Must try :
Tawa Milk

Reaching there:
The restaurant is near Gate 1 of Jama Masjid, just near to Karims. If you take a metro, get down and Chawri bazaar and get a cycle rikshaw. Parking is not available near the restaurant.

There is more to Carnatic than music and dance


Carnatic Cafe
Wall hangings inside the restaurant
If you thought Carnatic was a prefix to music, you might be wrong until you start exploring what carnatic cuisine could be. It was sheer accident I discovered this place, neatly tucked in a not-so-conspicuous corner in New Friends Colony. We had lost our way in the weekend madness only to discover a small board announcing a cafe in the ground-floor of India Mall (hic!) while I had to take my die-hard vegetarian friend out for dinner. The place looked legitimately vegit.  Being from South, my reflexes are set to look away from anything that announces "South Indian Food" in Delhi, nevertheless the place had a charm: cute and homely that could attract a carnivore.

Platter
 The place was minimalist, unlike most restaurants in Delhi, with neatly set tables and ambient lighting. The walls had neatly arranged frames of colorful photographs and posters of movies and aroma of fresh ground coffee and steaming ghee which rightly reminded olden days in college canteens.

The menu was modest, with a strikingly large list of Dosas, and yes, of course modestly priced, and of-course everything comes with a set of coconut chutneys: red, green and white.

The staff was cordial and more than happy to guide you through the menu and explain the details.

Things you should try:
Dosas / Ghee Roast
Lunch Platter
Sweets: Obattu
