Darvesh Corner at Ghanta Ghar



UPDATE: This blog post was originally written in June, 2009. Since then, expect a variation in Darvesh's food menu, especially the prices. I would even imagine - correct me if I'm wrong - that the bulls and their bullock carts tied nearby have been relocated, the doggies begging for food have multiplied in number, the unruly parking lot is all the more so, and the burly Jatt preparing Butter Chicken has lost some of his flair.
Not to be mislead, you should follow more recent Google links reviewing this place.

Darvesh Corner is a legend in itself. It's so awesome that it's delivery radius is double to that of any other joint. It's located right next to Amba Cinema, and easily spotted on evenings by the social nexus that it makes for the neighbourhood dogs; there's a bull tied to a tree nearby as well; right next to it is some lawyer's office.

Their tandoor is great. So is the Butter Chicken, prepared by the burly Jat who's always seen playing with supplies of butter holding a large spherical spoon. Rumali Rolls are also good, but for the heavy onion content. Also suggested by the others on the web is their Tawa Chicken, which I personally have no experience of. The prices seem like their moneys worth.

Note: It ain't a restaurant, but a takeaway


 

PS:Going on a different path, I wonder if Darvesh originally stems from the word 'Dervish', which refers to a mendicant monk or a Muslim ascetic.
