Kake Da Hotel

The place is easy to locate as each and every one roaming around would be able to guide you.During the lunch hours, I had to wait for about 25 minutes to get a table but while standing outside, I could see large dishes of chicken and mutton curries and butter actually floating on them.As directed, we went upstairs to our table.4-5 people can be seen around wearing red polo's with 'Kaka' written at the back, drying up the plates and running around serving people.The very first thing they would serve are onions and green chutney in a plate and then leave you to decide your order.Recently when I went there, the quantity of onions on the plates had also been cut down because of the soaring prices of onions.

I have tried their Butter Chicken, Keema Matar and Dahi meat.Trust me, I have had much better Butter Chicken at other places in and around Delhi but the Keema Matar was phenomenal.It had a distinct taste and was nicely cooked. Between the three of them Dahi meat is the Knight in shining Armour

. With 3 pieces of mutton and thick gravy, it was one of the best mutton dish I have ever had.They don't offer much variety in chicken dishes and if by any chance you have a vegetarian friend coming along to this place, he/she are offered a compact menu, leaving them with dal makhani's and shahi paneer.

I had heard of it from everyone, so I had to try it.If you are Butter Chicken fan, this is not the place. Rs.170 for a portion of curry and Rs.6 for a Tandoori/roomali roti is not bad at all but sometimes it's not the pricing that matters but the taste and quality of the food and not to forget the crowd and ambiance. With respect to all this, the place deserve just average points.The rates are fine, for a lunch for 5 people, we had to pay around 700 INR for 3 portions of curries and roti's. A thumbs up with respect to prices and food but that is all that you should expect from this place.

Coffee Home-Eat.Enjoy.Love

Another not-so-expensive place for not just coffee but an array of eateries.This is different from Indian Coffee House in all aspects.Situated near the emporiums in Connaught Place and right opposite to Pracheen Hanuman Mandir, this is place attracting a crowd of tourists, students and people from nearby offices.I have visited this place twice now and the place would never disappoint you. The second time we went there, it was raining cats and dogs and all the tables were occupied. So we sat outside, under the shed enjoying the rain and our food.

The picture shows two portions of noodles.

we had already started eating when we thought of clicking a picture.:P

The food is quite reasonable here.We ordered a portion of vegetable noodles, which was for 45 INR and sambhar idli for 35 INR. The menu here has more of South Indian specialties which are not at all bad.The noodles were cooked to perfection and were served in a bowl the first time and in a plate the next time with tangy green chutney(sauce) and the vegetables were thoroughly fried.As for the idli's they were moist and soft, the sambhar was passable and white coconut chutney is served along. I tried their sandwich also, which was similar to a home-made sandwich with cucumber pieces and some butter and mayonnaise-2 small sandwiches for 15 INR is not bad.

For those of you who miss fountain cold drinks, this is the place which let's you enjoy the charm of your ever-missed fountain Pepsi's for just 16 INR. A meal for two would not cost you more than 100 bucks.They also have a Nescafe joint inside where frappe is served for 25 rupees and tomato soup for 15 rupees.The policy is to serve yourself, prices are inclusive of taxes, a great place to go out with your friends if you really want to focus on food.

Happy Eating!
