GONE are the days when people used to visit Jama Masjid or Chandni Chowk to enjoy the Naan-Korma Biryani or the jalebis and daulat ki chaat. Now, people visit the new rooftop and glass case cafes to have leisure time and get a taste of Chinese, Italian or continental cuisines.
There is an emerging café culture in Old Delhi where the idea is to offer the same ambience as one would find in South Delhi cafes. One would even get a view of the majestic domes of iconic Jama Masjid, the entire Chandni chowk market and the ambience of the old-style havelis.
Among the most popular cafes is Gumbad Café in AiwaneShahi hotel, opposite gate number 3 of Jama Masjid. You may hear people calling it 'Mini Turkey' because of the sitting arrangement. The café offers authentic Mughlai and continental food followed by mocktails and herbal sheehsa.
Besides, one could see the Sis Ganj Sahib Gurudwara and Red Fort from it's terrace.
