6 Amazing Cafes in Delhi Where You Can Spend Your Rakhi Holiday

So you have a day off huh? Well, you have Raksha Bandhan to thank for that. Yay! But wait, are you going to stay home, eat the same thing you've been eating every day, sleep and repeat or are you taking your siblings to some wonderful places for a special Rakhi date? Well, if I were you I’d choose the latter. Believe me, it’s going to be worth it.

Here are some cafes in Delhi where you can spend your rakhi holiday.

• Farmer's Basket at Pluck

Everything you eat here is home-grown, locally sourced, plucked with care and cooked with love so you can assure that you get most of the product's nutritional value, keeping your meal as healthy as possible. And you know what’s best? They have a Farmer’s Basket where you can literally pick the veggies you like and have them made into a dish, exclusively for you. Isn’t that amazing? Of course, if you feel like letting the expert do their best, you can just relax, wait a bit and enjoy a scrumptious meal.

Note: Visit their website to reserve a table just to ensure a seat.

• Greenr Cafe

My, my! Their menu is as delicious as their food itself. Believe me, I’ve been there. With a friend, in case you want a witness to this claim (wink! wink!).

Like Cafe Pluck, they also serve farm-to-table mouth-watering delectables. Greenr offers a wide range of plant-based delicacies that are wallet-friendly. Besides Mexican and Continental, you can also treat your bellies to its selection of American and Italian dishes as well. As a vegan myself, I love their pasta and nachos. I am even thinking of ordering one while writing this. 

• The Palette Delhi

The Palette Delhi lets you experience music and art along with savoury meals that please your palate under one roof. Here, they offer you canvas and colours. So if you need an outlet for your artistic side, this is the place where you should be on a Rakhi day. Even if you aren’t into drawings, perhaps this experience will unearth something out of your personality. Who knows, right? Sometimes, an opportunity or exposure is all that it takes to uncover a hidden talent. Nevertheless, this should be a fun date.

• Bark Street

Dine with your dogs! What a lovely idea this is!

So, if you and your sibling are into fluffy and furry four-legged sessions, Bark Street in Noida is the place to go. Considered Noida’s first friendly cafe, this place lets you bring in your dog for a day well-spent among a dog-loving community while enjoying some sumptuous meals.

• Mr K Ramyun Cafe (For the love of Korea)

Korean actors and K-drama have swept the feet of the world! Like, literally! I’m telling you. I have stayed at a few friends’ homes and everyone just couldn’t let the day pass without watching one K-drama. And they got me hooked too. Not complaining, however. (laugh)

Located in Green Park, Mr K Ramyun Cafe is considered the first exclusive cafe that serves toothsome Korean beverages, bread and snacks. So if you and your sibling are into K delights, take that metro train immediately and head to Green Park.

Location: Shop.5, Ground Floor, Community Center, Yusuf Sarai Near Green Park Metro Station Gate 2
Timings: 10 AM - 10 PM, Monday to Saturday

• Rose Cafe

Everyone who had been here once has plans on dining again. Yes! That's the hallmark of a good cafe, or of any place for that matter. Their menu is not that extensive, but they have enough variety to gratify your tastebuds. Of course, count the cute and welcoming interiors too. It's vegan and LGBTQ-friendly.
