This all-day restaurant is conveniently located on the busy Chogm road at the Sangolda junction, so you can halt there if you're driving from Panaji towards Calangute. The food would perhaps be best described as “From Chandni Chowk to Goa”!. Because it brings the best of Delhi khana to Goa, with the quality of the food being way above avarage and completely authentic, at reasonable prices. They have an extensive selection of chaats and all the classic Mughlai dishes like Mutton Masala, Mutton Korma, Mutton Dahiwala, Keema Masala, Mutton Biryani, Palak Paneer, Paneer Butter Masala, all kinds of rotis and naans, North Indian meals like Rajma Rice, Chhole Rice (both bean preparations, for those who are not familiar). Add to that, Goan-style Xacutti, European Chicken Steak (no beef here), Momos, Chinese style sir-fries, gravies like Chicken Manchurian, rice and noodles. Kulfis (Indian desserts) are a house speciality. Plus, kebab rolls, drinks, and more. It's easily one of the best places in north Goa for authentic North Indian food. You can sit outside in the open gallery which is a sunken area by the roadside, and watch the traffic roar by, or sit inside and watch the big TV.
