THE CAKE BUCKS, PITAMPURA When it comes to vegetarian food, people usually think about leafy greens and bland proteins and stuff of peasants and slaves. (HOW DO VEGETARIANS EVEN BREATH THE SAME AIR AS MEAT EATERS?!) Especially in the northern areas of Delhi, in Pitampura, NSP or Shalimar Bagh, every vegetarian outlet has to offer something that sets them apart.  One particular outlet in Pitampura is changing the veg game by serving up some brilliantly inspiring dishes including kebabs, gravy momos, Bombay style chaat and house-made icecreams and shakes! The Cake Bucks , located in Pitampura, is a family style baked goods and confectioners shop. It also has some street food and chaat counters outside with tables to eat at.

We went in wanting to try a selection of dishes and could

A Beautiful Ambience CHEW - PAN ASIAN CAFE, CONNAUGHT PLACE Connaught Place, the heart of the National Capital Region, hosts a number of beautiful places to eat at. However, with a plethora of pubs, lounges and bars, the simplicity of the beautiful Circular Marvel, that is Connaught Place, is lost.
