Madhuban

Delhi

LoginSave

This very popular no-frills place serves authentic Andhra-style sattvik food, a yogic dietary tradition based on pure and energy-rich foodstuffs. Pesarattu (₹195), a popular breakfast staple, prepared with green lentil and served with ginger chutney, is a fabulous way to start the day when paired with the industrial strength filter coffee (₹75). There are thalis too (from ₹230).

Madhuban is one of a number of good eateries at Cross Point Mall, about 1.5km from IFFCO Chowk metro station; walk south, then take the first big left.
