You won’t find lavish seating at these places, but they are sure to give you a delectable culinary experience.

If you thought that the only place to enjoy the iconic Khan Chacha’s roll was Khan Market, then here’s news for you. The joint has opened another branch in the D block of Connaught Place (CP).

Khan Chacha was one of the first eateries in the Capital that started the trend of eating outside the restaurant space. Regular visitors to this place say that the various rolls available here are high on quality, and as a result, people don’t mind standing outside and enjoying the meal, thus not missing a proper seating area. Though there are many such eating joints in the Capital nowadays, only a few have made an impression on Delhiites. We bring to you a few of such eateries.

Khan Chacha
This place is synonymous with kathi kababs and tandoori tikkas. While you are here, try the chicken tikka roomali roll for Rs 120 or its paneer variant for Rs 110. The vegetarian and non-vegetarian kababs here are available for Rs 100-Rs 110. Usually, there is a long queue outside the eatery, especially during lunch and dinner hours. The branch in Khan Market recently underwent a makeover and now has a seating facility too. It has now also opened a branch in CP.
