Minar

Everyone has one (or a few) standard joints they have gone to since childhood, and whose food they remember and cherish forever. For me, one such place is the inimitable Minar. Situated in L block, Connaught place, outer circle, it is a simple Mughlai, Punjabi food joint. One of the many restaurant/bar family dining options with stereotype seating for that area, and typical uncles serving you for years together. But it has a special place in my heart, and I've eaten here once a month since I came back to Delhi.

Do not miss the signature Dal Makhani and the Paneer dishes here, be it Tikka, Shahi, or Mutter. The Malai Kofta is different, and the non-veg dishes are typical and nice too. Expect to spend around 250-300 per person, more if alcohol, and be satiated. Chill out with a beer, and enjoy the shalgham ka achaar and lachhedar pyaaz. Enough said, I am off to CP.
