Naga PorkLike most journeys, there are a few stops that feel unnecessary, or perhaps are overshadowed by the excellence in the other dishes. The scallops are just alright and the fermented Pakodi Dal failed to impress.
Dessert is served on a platter, and has a few surprises. Skip the Ashen
Kulfi (which looks stunning), have a bite of the incredible Jalebi Caviar (another Mumbai import) and focus all your attention on this thin sliver which is their version of Chenna Payesh. It is delicate, delicious and the perfect end to your meal.

Farzi Café and now Masala Library, Zorawar Kalra seems to have taken it upon himself to make
Connaught Place a culinary destination, reverting Central Delhi to its former glory. Masala Library stands apart in every sense, and in many ways doesn't compete with any restaurant in town. Whether it is a client dinner or an occasion to celebrate, there are few (if any) places in NCR that can match up to the experience that is offered here. Expensive, yes. But worth every penny.
