Cafe Lota
North Indian
A sunny cafe inside the National Crafts Museum, Cafe Lota takes pan-Indian cooking seriously enough to champion the dishes that usually get crowded out by the familiar northern canon. Ragi breads, Gujarati dal dhokli, palak patta chaat, and a sour aam panna sit alongside excellent iced coffee, all in a shaded courtyard that fills with museum-goers who seem in no hurry to leave.
