 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever survived the traffic of Delhi<\/a>, you\u2019d realize why so many food joints are sprouting at every corner. Gastronomy has rekindled the relationship of modern cafe-hoppers and their love for creative cuisine. Unlike small, crowded and uncomfortable ambience of Old Delhi cuisine, new cafes are embracing the art of luxurious food-fare. Pleasant music, themed decor, quirky menus and super-friendly staff follow the principle rule of engaging not one but all the senses of a customer and transporting them to a short-lived, food-paradise. South Delhi is booming with such phenomenal ideas and sensory experiences. We bring you our top 15 picks of best cafes in South Delhi that you absolutely cannot afford to miss.<\/p>\n

1. The Rose Cafe<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

We recommend every couple to go on a date at least once, to this \u2018 pretty as a picture\u2019 cafe. Pink and blue hues dominate the interiors while mahogany chairs and tables provide the perfect vintage contrast to its delicate ambience. You can soak in some vitamin D during winters with their equally pretty outdoor setting or enjoy High Tea like a bunch of royals from their special Victorian section.<\/p>\n

2. The Big Chill<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We undoubtedly agree to the chill quotient that runs in the air at The Big Chill. Your greedy stomach is in for a treat with their generous food servings and definite food coma. But before devouring that penne in vodka sauce, you have to wait for your table as the place is never empty. And we can\u2019t argue because old Hollywood posters, vibrant yellow lights, air that smells like fresh basil and happy faces are a killer combination.<\/p>\n

3. Big Yellow Door<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A magical Yellow Door seems minuscule in the endless escapade of cafes on the busy streets of Satya Niketan. While walking down the street opposite to Venkateswara College, you can spot the titled Big Yellow Door and long queue of hungry souls gawking at the door. Soothing yellow lights, spunky interiors, cozy sitting arrangements and evergreen John Mayor warms you up for the heavenly food-coma you\u2019d eventually receive.

5. Hauz Khas Social<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s not possible to strike up a conversation about food and South Delhi without bringing Hauz Khas into the picture. And with that in mind, the best place for food in Hauz Khas has to be Hauz Khas Social<\/a>. This mammoth structure gives stunning views of signature Hauz Khas fort and lake, a very rare and precious combination in Delhi. Its classic rough look, accessorized by metals, lamps, recycled furniture and #quirky menu is worth walking down the narrow lanes of Hauz Khas village.<\/p>\n

\"Lodi<\/p>\n

source: sewara<\/span><\/p>\n

Lodi<\/a> brings a gourmet meal to your table with exceptional hospitality, serene surroundings and impeccable flavour palette. Bordering the Lodi Garden, its minimalistic outdoor setting encourages nature to control the ambience. Mediterranean cuisine explores the lines of European and Middle Eastern touch and blends perfectly with their wine collection.<\/p>\n

Even though it blurs the line between a caf\u00e9 and a restaurant, its extravagant menu is worth the splurge.<\/p>\n

Top dishes: Wild Mushroom Risotto with Pan Seared Cep, Grilled Tenderloin Steak, Grilled Jumbo Prawns with Lemon Butter, Banoffee Pie and Almond Bread Pudding with Warm Toffee Sauce and Fig Ice-Cream.<\/em>

7. Jugmug Thela<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A regular thela and a regular cup of tea is not as exciting as the Masala Chai of Jugmug Thela<\/a> in the hidden lanes of Champa Gali. This popular tea stall is as quirky as its name. They offer unique blends of coffee and tea that are sourced directly from the estates of South. Health wizards will be happy to explore their Homemade Munchies section that booms with healthy snacks.<\/p>\n

\"Jugmug<\/p>\n

You can spend your entire day sipping piping hot tea and reading from their awesome book collection.<\/p>\n

8. Diggin<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

This fairly new eatery already has a massive fan following. Victorian style interiors, antique wall clocks, porcelain teapots, twinkling lights, soothing wall art and comfortable cushions can bring a nerve wrecking day to a blissful end. Their outdoor arrangement is equally appealing with the yellow of Chinese lanterns harmonising elegantly with the green of nature.<\/p>\n

\"Diggin<\/p>\n

It’s the perfect stop for an after work grub fest or basic Sunday brunch.<\/p>\n

Top dishes: Grilled Tomato Bruschetta, Chicken Jalape\u00f1o Pizza, Rosemary Grilled Chicken, Jalape\u00f1o Cheese Poppers, Belgium Chocolate Shake and Oreo Brownie Cheesecake.<\/em>

9. The Potbelly Rooftop Cafe<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Many modern cafes in Delhi have nailed continental cuisine excellently, but when it comes to regional food with a modern twist, the Potbelly Rooftop Caf\u00e9 is leading the race with their delicious Litti Chokha Mutton Platter. Bright sunlight and cozy interiors are the best combination for a hot Bihari meal during winters. Their efforts for turning a simple rooftop space into a beautiful, warm and welcoming cafe are meritorious.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

10. Hard Rock Cafe<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Even after many years and countless rivals, Hard Rock Cafe has successfully maintained its phenomenal charm, gripping music and Legendary Chicken Burgers. All the reasons why every music lover should visit them at least once, for an extraordinary evening. Their classic take on rock music, live bands, red and yellow lights, wooden interiors, enormous couches and giant portions of food will never disappoint you.<\/p>\n

\"Hard<\/p>\n

Our advice is to opt for a light meal before you gear up for their tantalizing menu. Delectable drinks paired with massive burgers should be your new guilty pleasure for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Zomato Review <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A noble and hungry man once said, \u201c Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food\u201d and we couldn\u2019t agree more. As more and more cafes are brewing amazing food, its hard to pick a favourite. But who are we to complain when more than one caf\u00e9 can nail that Penne Arrabbiata and transport our taste buds to food nirvana.<\/p>\n
