The 10 Best Brunch Spots In South Delhi, India
When holidaying in Delhi, India’s capital city, most visitors tend to base themselves in the bustling district around New Delhi station but it’s worth venturing to South Delhi, an historic district a few miles from the center, and a place exuding a distinctly cosmopolitan vibe. Popular with young Delhiites because of its numerous shops and food joints, South Delhi is worth getting to know. Here we list 10 of the area’s best brunch spots.
1. Rose Café
Cafe, Coffee, Tea , Vegetarian, Fast Food
2. Choco Vault
Choco Vault
You’ll be surprised by the level of creativity that has gone into the menu at Choco Vault. We’ve all heard of chocolate fondue, but chocolate pizza? What about chocolate therapy or chocolixirs? Those, by the way, are just the names of sections of the menu. The individual items are no less intriguing; try the Holy Ba! Na! Na! or the Spectacular Mess, to name but two. A delightfully quirky little café where the keyword is ‘indulgence’. Even the chairs are shaped like cupcakes.
Address and Telephone: Choco Vault, 1A Haus Khas Village, Delhi, India +91 11 4153 2222
The Big Chill
Movie posters adorn the walls of the large dining room in Saket’s The Big Chill. On any given day of the week it is always at least half-filled by a friendly crowd of young Delhiites. Renowned for its thick milkshakes and rich desserts, The Big Chill leans towards Italy with the rest of its menu. Pretty much every classic pasta dish is represented; there’s cheese-filled ravioli, penne all’arrabiatta and tagliatelle with (chicken) bolognese. The pizzas and paninis are good too. A trendy place with a lively atmosphere.
Address and Telephone: The Big Chill, Shop no. 22, DLF Place, Delhi, India +91 11 4117 0000
Café Turtle
Slap-bang in the middle of Khan Market is the charmingly-named Café Turtle. Relaxed and welcoming, it’s the perfect place in which to spend a few hours drinking coffee and reading a book; hardly surprising, since Café Turtle was established by the owners of the nearby Full Circle Bookstore. The menu is pretty book-like too, running as it does for pages and pages. On top of a wide selection of teas and coffees, they’ve got breakfasts, salads, soups (both hot and cold), sandwiches, pastas, pizzas and a whole lot more.
Address and Telephone: Café Turtle, 23 Middle Lane, Khan Market, Delhi, India +91 11 2465 5641

6. Carnatic Café

Café Why Not
Popular with students of nearby Sri Venkateswara College, Café Why Not offers an eclectic mix of food. The first few pages of the menu are dedicated to wood-fired pizzas and burgers so tall they need toothpicks to hold them together, but keep flipping and you’ll get to the Indian dishes; perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s in this area that the café excels. Try the tandoori chicken or the kulcha, a puffy flatbread served with spicy chickpeas. As its name suggests, the vibe at Café Why Not is decidedly laid back. The walls are lined with leather banquettes on which you can lounge and let your food digest until well into the afternoon.
Price: Budget
Opening Hours: 11am-11pm
Watch Out For: the creamy dal makhani
