Gourmet Feasts

Definitely no signature restaurants, though a number of dhabas dot the entire region. The food is quite standard and both vege and non-vege delicacies are available. Most popular is the Shikhar Restaurant, which serves Indian food - their chicken curry and rice is a good combo. For vegetarians, New Glory Restaurant is quite popular and of course the Madras Café, which serves quite a good range on South Indian tiffins, dosas, idlis and uttapams. Try the smaller dhabas near the Mall - they have the usual noodles, aloo-tikki and puri-aloo. Similar to this is the Swagath Restaurant, where you can grab a bite of the rabdi-falooda. And finally, don't miss the sweet specialties of the region - the khoya singori and bal mithai, available at the numerous sweet shops.
