100% authentic, non-biased review — a must-visit if you’re in Connaught Place. Right in the heart of Connaught Place, this decades-old institution is all about bold North Indian flavors and no-nonsense dining. If I’m going here, I’m going for one thing: proper, indulgent non-vegetarian and vegetarian classics done the old-school way. What to Order (Non-Negotiable) • Butter Boneless Chicken – My number one pick. Rich, creamy, and unapologetically buttery. • Saag Meat – Their star recipe. Deep, earthy, and packed with flavor. Pair both with sliced onions and fresh naan — simple combo, unbeatable result. The food arrives fast because most of it is pre-prepared and constantly in rotation. So once you get their attention, your plate won’t keep you waiting long. The Setting It’s tight. Very tight. Think “elbow-to-elbow nostalgia.” You’ll often have to wait before getting a seat: • Regular days: keep a 15–20 minute buffer. • Sundays: chaos mode. Plan for 30 minutes to an hour. Service & Hygiene Service can feel a bit unpolished. You may need to be assertive to get attention — a gentle but firm reminder works better than silent hope. That said, while the food quality is impressive, the hygiene standards visibly need improvement. Given how strong their culinary game is, upgrading cleanliness would elevate the overall experience massively. ⸻ Final Verdict You don’t come here for ambience. You don’t come here for hospitality finesse. You come here because when that butter chicken and saag meat hit the table — you forget everything else for a moment. If you’re visiting Connaught Place and want legendary, old-school flavors, this spot deserves a stop. Just bring patience… and a healthy appetite.
