SARDAR-JI-BAKHSH COFFEE & CO.
by
Urbanaut
This increasingly popular coffee shop is the place to be for quick bites and steaming cuppa joes. The vibe is casual, the menu budget-friendly — and you can plug in your laptop to work or collaborate. Win win!
DePaul’s
by
Upamanyu Malik
Just beside the famous Janpath market is a small shack shop and you’d probably miss it because of the size of the crowd covering its narrow front entrance but then you’d miss the iconic start of Delhi’s coffee culture. Established in 1952, this compact coffee shop which initially just started with its still famous cold coffee has many variations to it now along with an array of cheese balls, momos and sandwiches which go well with a full stomach as well.
Dilli haat INA
by
Upamanyu Malik
The Dilli Haat provides the ambience of a traditional Rural Haat or village market, where one sees a synthesis of crafts, food and cultural activity. It’s a unique bazaar, in the heart of the city that not only displays the richness of Indian culture but has been visualized as a showpiece of traditional Indian village art and life. Since its inauguration in the month of March 1994, Dilli Haat has been home to thousands of handicraft and handloom artisans. The complex is not only artistic, but also recreational in nature where one can unwind in the evening and relish a wide variety of cuisine without paying the exhorbitant rates. There are stalls dishing out sumptuous delicacies from different States and Union Territories; an Exhibition Hall; a Souvenir shop selling an assortment of small gift items; an open stage for cultural programmes and a playing area for children. If you pay attention to the architectural features of the complex you’ll see they have been especially designed in the traditional north Indian style, with brickwork jail (lattice) and stone roofs. The small thatched roof cottages and kiosks, without any concrete structures provide a village atmosphere. The shops are set up on platforms, which act as a link in the Bazar design. The courtyards between the shops are paved in stone and interspaced with grass to retain a visual softness.
Tres
by
Urbanaut
Tres is a fine-dining restaurant known for its simple seasonally curated menus that showcase star ingredients cooked in imaginative, alchemical ways. You might find a few familiars, and many more interesting concoctions, but they’re all united in their seamless balance of flavours and careful attention to detail. Their cocktail menu also looks incredible.
ROOH
by
Urbanaut
ROOH is a stunning fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar in the 150-year-old Ambawatta One haveli. You’re in for a gastronomic journey, given they play with familiar dishes to present refreshing twists.
Under The Neem
by
Urbanaut
Under the Neem is nestled in a whopping 300 acres of green land that also houses Karma Chalets (you know, if you want to extend that getaway). Load up on dishes made from organic and fresh ingredients; grab a book and sprawl about in the grass because what else is it there for?
AMA Cafe
by
Pranav
A 4-storied outlet in Majnu Ka Tila features everything from reading corners, to a gallery space, a bakery, roastery, and café. Sit there on a rainy morning, sunny winter afternoon, or a summer evening, and you will not want to leave.
EVOO Eatery & Pizzeria
by
Pranav
Some of the best pizzas, pastas, gnocchi and risotto in the city. Run by very friendly owners and staff, a trip to EVOO is never disappointing.
Pandara Road
by
Urbanaut
Pandara Road is Delhi’s indisputable food paradise, with a handful of historical eateries, restaurants and stalls to choose from. The road is always buzzing with people indulging their cravings, and you can expect to find a variety of cuisines from Mughalai to Indo-Chinese and Pan-Asian fare. To get started on the right foot, pick from the 1950s-era Gulati (for the best kebabs), the legendary Pindi and the much-loved HaveMore — they’re all Pandara Road classics, no matter who you ask.
Bikaner House
by
Urbanaut
Art and cultural space set in a beautiful 8 acre area. Bikaner House is a breath of fresh air and one of our favourite places to visit in the capital.
Wenger's
by
Upamanyu Malik
Established in the year 1924, this iconic bakery has attained a legendary status amongst Delhi’s many bakeries with people coming from far and wide to get a taste of its delicious tarts and pastries. My grandfather mentions it ever too often(hinting at our next drive to Connaught Place) every time I’m home.

Bahrisons Booksellers
by
Urbanaut
We might go so far as to say Bahrisons is an institution in Delhi– and we wouldn’t be refuted. The 1950s era bookstore houses paperbacks, hardbacks, literary marvels and graphic novels spanning more than 50 genres. Generations of book lovers have been visiting Bahrisons ever since it started off as a back-alley bookstore in post-partition India.

Famous chole bhature (spicy chickpeas with fried bread) spot. Super local - so don’t expect an ambience but it’s worth the trek for the food

Seafood may not always be the best in Delhi - but the Bengalis love their fish and their government house is where you can get some great seafood for cheap

Tikli Bottom
by

A stunning Lutyens-style haveli flanked by a courtyard, a pool and green lawns as far as the eye can see — who wouldn’t say ‘yes’ to that! Despite being a short distance from Delhi, you’ll get the feel of being in a hill station, what with the all-pervading solitude and quiet. Owners and hosts Martin and Annie Howard graciously offer four bedrooms to guests, with the option of sleeping on a charpai under the stars. There’s plenty to do at Tilkli Bottom — but then again, it’s a wonderful place to do nothing at all.
Naughara Lane
by
Upaasna R
Naughara Lane also known as the street of 'nine houses' is a one of it's kind cul-de-sac located near Kinari Bazaar. It is significant both, culturally and architecturally, as it consists of havelis that are exquisitely built and vibrantly painted.
Masjid Suraj Wali
by
Upaasna R
Built by Badruddin Ali Khan, a famous seal engraver of Delhi, this masjid gets its name from the unique sun emblem on it. Located near the attar shops of Dariba, this is a hidden gem of the area.

Aravali Biodiversity Park
by
Pranav
A running/walking track made through the Aravali forests in Vasant Kunj. Great for clean air, bird watching, and some stray fox and peacocks running around.
The Clay Company
by
Rajika
Thinking of a new hobby or just want to try something different? Get your hands dirty with pottery. I love the Clay Company- a tiny studio in the middle of a busy electronic market. These guys have potters wheels, a hand building section, super teachers and offer lots of creative freedom and guidance. You can make things, glaze and fire them and take ‘em home! Try a taster class, why don’t you?
Raw Mango - Chhatarpur
by
Urbanaut
Indian luxury designer brand Raw Mango’s store is jaw-dropping, to say the least. The sprawling courtyard, flowering trees and gorgeous teal wood doors fittingly frame the brand’s exquisite collection of garments. You’ll find their stunning saris, lehengas and exclusive bridal wear showcased – and deservedly so – in museum style glass cabinets with voile. Quite the royal shopping experience.
Kool Skool
by
Urbanaut
A 10-year old bookstore in Qutub plaza that houses a lovely collection of children’s books, including the not so popular titles as well and also international bestsellers that are hard to find on Amazon for a decent price. They have a great collection of books for adults as well. The owner, Amit Sarin, is a bibliophile and has great recommendations that you can trust. They deliver pan-India for those not in Delhi and unable to visit the store in-person.

Midland Book Shop

Farha Khan
by
Rajika
With love from Pakistan- crisp cotton kurtas and salwars, beautiful dupattas (some printed and some embroidered) - very cool casual ethnic clothing! Some of their sequins stuff is not for me, I am more a fan of their simpler pieces. This is a small little store tucked away in the back lanes of hauz khas village- find it, if you can.

The Lazy Patio
by
Urbanaut
A rustic 4-bedroom terrace apartment that you’d never expect to find in Delhi — and yet, it exists. Rent out one or all 3 available rooms to enjoy the unique earthy architecture of the space and its calling card, the huge terrace overlooking stunning sunsets. The glass room is ideal for great views, and the Hut room accommodates up to four people.
Mizpah Delhi
by
Urbanaut
Mixpah is a darling Anglo-Indian style B&B and café. It’s a full-service setup but loses none of the warmth and friendliness you’d expect from a local bolthole. There are just 4 uniquely designed rooms; outside, you’ll find nutritious snacks and meals, a local boutique with gorgeous handicrafts, a massage and salon centre, even tie-ups with visiting Yoga instructors.
