Gulati Restaurant on Pandara Road has been one of New Delhi's most celebrated dining destinations since 1959. Tucked inside the leafy government-bungalow district laid out by Edwin Lutyens, Pandara Road Market is a small horseshoe of restaurants that has fed Delhi's civil servants, diplomats, and journalists for over six decades — and Gulati is the market's anchor. For travellers visiting India Gate, the National War Memorial, or the surrounding monuments of central Delhi, Gulati offers the rare combination of genuine Awadhi-Mughlai vegetarian cooking, white-tablecloth service, and a heritage that predates Indian Republic Day itself.

Comment s'y rendre
Pandara Road Market, Pandara Road, New Delhi 110003. 5 minutes by taxi from India Gate (₹120–150). Nearest metro: Khan Market (Violet Line), 7 minutes by auto-rickshaw (₹70–90). Walking from India Gate is pleasant in winter — 15 minutes through Rajpath gardens.
Pro Tip
Confirm you're at the vegetarian outlet — Gulati operates a non-veg sister restaurant a few doors down. Reserve for Friday–Sunday dinner. Walk back to India Gate after dinner — the monuments are illuminated until 11 PM.
