United Coffee House has served coffee and a long continental and North Indian menu in Connaught Place, Delhi, since 1942, the year of the Quit India movement.
OrderThe lamb kebab platter or the badshahi kofta, with a pot of coffee.
TipThe dining room runs from 10:00 to about 23:45, so it works for a late-morning coffee between Connaught Place errands.
Indian Coffee House on the second floor of Mohan Singh Place in Delhi is a cooperative-run canteen with fading hand-painted signs, filter coffee and pakoras.
OrderFilter coffee with a plate of pakoras or an omelette.
TipDo not expect speed: the waiters take their time, which is the point; it closes at 20:30, so come for coffee rather than dinner.
Andhra Canteen in M Block of Connaught Place, Delhi, serves Andhra-style biryani, dosas and masala uttapam, the biryani plated thali-style with salan.
OrderThe masala uttapam, a thick lentil-and-rice pancake topped with onion and chilli.
TipOrder the biryani, which comes on a thali with salan, raita and salad; a short wait at peak lunch is normal.
Karim's has served Mughlai kebabs and curries in Gali Kababian by Jama Masjid in Old Delhi since 1913, cooking from recipes passed down through generations.
OrderThe mutton burra, then mutton qorma with sheermal to mop up the gravy.
TipThe lane is narrow and busiest in the evening; the kitchen runs from 09:00 until 01:00, so a late lunch is the calm window.
Al Jawahar faces Gate 1 of Jama Masjid on Matia Mahal Road in Old Delhi, a Mughlai room known for mutton qorma, badam pasanda and yeasted khameeri roti.
OrderThe badam pasanda in almond gravy, or mutton qorma with khameeri roti.
TipIt stays open until midnight; during Ramzan the Matia Mahal lane outside fills with haleem pots and kebab grills after sunset.
Moti Mahal in Daryaganj, Old Delhi, is where Punjabi refugees from Peshawar made butter chicken famous after Partition; the room still serves it daily.
OrderButter chicken with a butter garlic naan, plus a plate of tandoori chicken.
TipAsk for a courtyard table, where live music plays on some evenings, and order breads to share across the table.
