Gone down hill. There is a street stall/thelawalla outside a booze-shop somewhere in Gurgoan (just past the Delhi Naka) border-post near the IGI airport/Goregoan road which serves great chicken tikka and shami kebabs. |

Isn't this a little bit vague, Anil? Like, I do remember the dal makhani at this dhaba just over the Lajpatnagar/Jangpura Extension railway crossing, on the Jangpura side, was to die for. Good luck with finding it, it will be worth it!  Sue |

That sounds like Om Hotel, Sue They had great tandoori chicken too once upon a time. Another place for good dal makhani in south delhi - Kamal / Haldiram in Sundar Nagar (excellent dhaba veg khana outdoors)Anil, Aap ki khatir did go downhill, you're right, and then closed up altogether. Sort of coincidede with the Humayun tomb restorations - maybe related. I heard a rumour that they had shifted up the road and opened up somewhere near Nehru stadium - will investigate further. Worth it, because never had such gourmet quality stuff in a roadside stall. The kathi in paratha were absolutely divine (and did I mention the kakori?) The story is that the Aap ki khatir chef used to work for one of the semi-fancy GK/Friends Colony restaurants, and had a tiff and split.
There are about a hundred of those dhablets (and booze shops) between Radisson and the Gurgaon border. Similar at Badarpur border. SOme better than others - sometimes the food tastes great but dont have any boneless / curry / amorphous items - there's been a drop in the dog population round there  |

Maulana ji: I do not know where you reside; But it may be good idea we take an eating tour one day exploring old haunts and new un spoken ones ?

Anil ji
that sounds like a most excellent notion! I am in delhi on those dates. Is there anyway I can send you my email address / phone number privately? |

maulana, if anil hasn't already sent you a private message, you can send him one.
but there'd better be a very public recounting of this encounter and your adventures in dhaba-land. -------------------- yeh sab kya ho raha hai, beta duryodhan? arnab@anothersubcontinent.com |
