5 Eateries in Delhi NCR That'll Give You Pahadi Feels For When You're Craving A Vacay To The Hills

"The mountains are calling and I must go," is our kind of quote because we absolutely adore the mountains. We wouldn't miss any opportunity to pack our bags and head over to a hill station but sadly, we don't get those opportunities often enough. So, instead of cribbing about that, we decided to explore some amazing cafes that transport you to the mountains while still being in Delh NCR. Here's a list of five cafes that will give you pahadi feels right here in the city! Some of these places might be closed at the moment given the current scenario, so you might want to check with the restaurant before you land up, peeps!

Which place can give you more mountain feels than Music & Mountains Cafe in GK I?

On top of that, they offer huge portion sizes of the yummy food that they dish out and everything, from their open sandwiches to their Chocolate Eclairs will leave you craving more. So, head over with bae or be your own date when you feel ready to step out!

4. AMA Cafe

Are you even from Delhi if you haven't been here or heard of this one? AMA Cafe has been serving food and happiness for years now and you just cannot complete a visit to the famous MKT without tasting the insanely sinful Mud Cake and fluffy pancakes here. A Himalayan concept cafe, it has simple wooden furniture of all kinds, a cute bookshelf and the aroma of coffee to make you feel right at home.

5. Rustique by Essex Farms

Prepare to go back to the old days of stone-walled kitchens, wooden furniture and an open sky above you when you give this place a much-deserved visit. Famous for its desserts such as the overflowing Hot Chocolate which is literally a volcano of chocolate and cream and irresistibly glossy Red Velvet Blueberry Cake, this joint is basically a haven if you have a sweet tooth. But their freshly made pastas and thin-crust pizzas are equally delish, so don't forget to give them a shot as well. We recommend going there in the evening to enjoy a dreamy date at their magically lit and plush outdoor area - you can thank us later!
