Kake-da-Hotel

New Delhi


This no-frills, always-busy dhaba (snack bar) is a basic hole in the wall that’s hugely popular with local workers for its famous butter chicken (₹230) and other Mughlai Punjabi dishes. Staff are rushed off their feet, but the owner is welcoming to the few foreign diners who visit.
