• Indian Coffee House
  
  Walk into this cafe-cum-restaurant and you’ll feel like you’re walking into an era gone by. With an ambience that resembles the ‘70s, this place is almost as old as the city itself. You’ll find a limited range of food here, but people swear by the consistency of good quality dishes and beverages. Try their Idlis and Dosa, which are quite a favourite among regulars, though the restaurant also serves a delicious North Indian menu - all served with hint of the British, colonial twist!

A Chandigarh specialty is the Cheese Naan with Gravy, which you will find at the Sector-8 market and which the locals swear by. You can get your order served right in your car for that extra bit of comfort.

Being in the heart of Punjab, you really can’t let the foodie in you not get excited. Feast your tastebuds while you stay true to your mission of being a vegetarian. Yum!
