Veg Gulati, on the leafy horseshoe of Pandara Road Market a short walk from India Gate, is a pure-vegetarian North Indian and Punjabi institution that has fed Delhi's families, civil servants and diplomats since 1997. It is best known for its slow-cooked Dal Makhani and creamy Malai Kofta, alongside Dahi Ke Kebab, Paneer Tikka Lababdar, Chaap Butter Masala and tandoor-fresh breads. The dining room is air-conditioned and unhurried, service is polished, and Jain and Sattvik (no onion, no garlic) preparations are available on request — a reliable, comfortable sit-down meal near the monuments of central Delhi. It is a separate establishment from the well-known non-vegetarian "Gulati Restaurant" in the same market, so check the signboard.
