Under
the cracked colonnades of Radial Road 6 is one of the better restaurants in
Connaught Place.
Nirulas is at the end of the road
and houses a 4 star hotel as well as bar and ice-cream parlour. Upstairs is a
very clean, friendly restaurant popular with foreigners visiting Delhi. The
menu is both western and Indian so your palette can be gently weaned onto Indian
food if you have just arrived.
There
is an all you can eat salad bowl for 50 rupees and their pancakes and
breakfasts are stunning for only 100 rupees each. But best of all is their
Indian food - the Tandoor chicken with pilau rice only comes to 80 rupees and
their mutton biryanis are quite exceptional. One day I joined these American
girls who had done India in such intense heat. They were fascinated why I
wanted to do it. “Well..” I would say “England and India are still joined
The only quibble
is gaining admittance - auto-rickshaw drivers all know this place and know that
foreigners frequent it. - They may be
very ferocious in getting your custom. But there is generally a tourist-police
commissioner outside there to prevent harassment. A rickshaw driver following
you down the street is not a good thing
