Looks interesting. Haven’t drunk beer there yet. Just swung by yesterday.

The INA Vegetable and Fish market is a fascinating place. Its right across the street from Delhi Haat. Readers, please visit sometime!
My all time favorite Bhel Puri place is in South Extension Market II. I always ask for extra lemon on my Bhel.
Been craving Chola Bhatura for some time. Got my fix on Sunday evening.
One of the comments was that the Bhaturas look like Marge Simpson’s ass. I think they look like her head…
Slightly bizarre and long list of notices outside a restaurant in Khan Market. Each of these signs tell us a little about our Delhi:
1. The modern, politically correct Delhi is represented by the non-smoking sign
2. The bureaucratic Delhi is represented by the “We do not sell Raw Material Milk & Curd…etc.” This sign could be a legal requirement because I’ve seen it outside many restaurants in Delhi (Why restaurants would otherwise go out of the way to put up this archaic sounding notice defeats me). The profusion of these notices (’signitis‘) would make any sarkari babu proud.
3. “Liquiour [sic] will not be served to below 25 yrs of aged person” is of course the hypocritical Delhi. ‘Liquor’ is wrongly slept and that represents our chalta hai Delhi.
4. The violent, lawless and ‘tandoori’ Delhi finds voice in the “Arms and Ammunition not allowed in the premises”
5. “Rights of Admission Reserved” (loosely translated: “If you look too poor we’ll throw you out”) represents the status conscious Delhi.
We can learn so much about the character of Delhi just from these notices!
