Fodor's Review:

Celebrity chef Bhicoo Manekshaw is now in her eighties, but that doesn't stop her from creating daily specials and seasonal menus. There's no telling what she'll come up with, but you can bank on fresh flavors, such as carrot-and-orange soup, pita triangles with garlic butter, roast chicken stuffed with black mushrooms, or a "filo parcel" stuffed with vegetables and glazed with a coriander hollandaise. The room is minimalistic warm white, with stone floors and large windows onto the greenery of Santushti market. Alcohol is not served, but this lunch spot is beloved of Delhi's upper crust and the embassy crowd.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
  • Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V
  • Closed: Closed Sun. No dinner
