THINGS TO LOOK FOWARD TO

Old World Charm

- By Rewati Rau

But for catching some Rajasthan-bound buses, chances are you might not have explored Bikaner House at India Gate. If so, it’s time you made this little trip. This understate­d space is now home to one of the city’s most favourite restaurant­s—Darya Ganj’s Chor Bizarre. Retaining the original restaurant’s warm vibe, the brand new Chor Bizarre has almost all the classics—from a four-poster bed themed table to a table made out of an old sewing machine. The vintage decor comes alive with classic old Hindi Bollywood songs wafting from the place. The food and service complement­s the overall feel, as you’re served generous portions of delicious north Indian or Kashmiri food. Our absolute favourite from the spread was Dal Chor B’zar with ulte tawe ka parantha but you must try the Kashmiri spread. We highly recommend the Aloo Bukhara Mirchi Korma with the sweet Bakarkhani or the Goshtaba. And if you’d rather go for some Mughlai fare, we’d suggest you try the Nihari gosht and Rara gosht. But we feel you definitely need more than one visit to get a real feel of the place, to soak in the nostalgia and enjoy the delicious food. Meal for two Rs 1,600 At Bikaner House, Pandara Road
