The days are long gone when SDA Market was known merely to the residents of Safdarjung and Hauz Khas. It has successfully transformed itself into a place frequented by college and school students, office goers, etc. Footfall in the market has increased tremendously with the opening up of the famous Mumbai based patisserie cum bakery – Theobroma, over the last few months.
The easiest way to reach Safdarjung Development Area is to take the yellow line Metro and get off at the Hauz Khas station and take an auto thereon.

1. Beeryani

As the name suggests the restaurant is extremely famous for its Biryani and Beer. The last time I was in the market along with a group of friends, each of us managed to lay our hands on a FREE glass of Beer, thanks to an offer that was doing the rounds in the market. The restaurant offers North Indian cuisine and is easy on the pocket.

2. Nukkad Cafe

Located in an extreme “nukkad” or corner of the market, you’ll spot a quaint, rustic themed cafe with fairy lights strung across the outdoors and dim lighting indoor. Nukkad Cafe is known for its quirky menu, serving grilled pizza sandwiches and chipotle chicken tikkas. With stand-up comedy on Wednesdays, soft music playing in the background, and a variety of dishes and drinks to choose from, Nukkad Cafe shouldn’t be missed out on.
