Bossing this corner of Queen's Rd, Crystal has two restaurants here, as well as a kebab stand and a new lounge-bar. The original ground-floor restaurant has a fin de siècle air, with mirror-lined walls and ornate stucco trim, while the excellent menu is dominated by Mughlai favourites – the house speciality is the delicious murg tawa frontier (₹450), morsels of chicken in dense onion gravy.
Upstairs is the Crystal Restaurant Plaza, run by a rival branch of the same family and serving the same menu in more modern surroundings. Outside is a no-nonsense takeaway joint where you can enjoy some of the same dishes, plus plenty of tandoori offerings, while standing at high, roadside tables. And just around the corner is a lift leading to Crystal's 3rd-floor lounge-bar; again with the same menu, but the added attraction of bird's-eye street views.
