When Saurabh took over the Rajma Chawal Dhaba, he continued the family’s golden rule—never use a refrigerator. The idea is simple: Serve fresh food every day with no leftovers. And it works! With thick, buttery rajma cooked in a rich blend of masalas and paired with perfectly fluffy rice, this Rajma Chawal Dhaba serves over 1,000 happy customers daily. The meal is completed with crispy papad and spicy green chillies, adding to the authentic experience.
A Star-Studded Favourite & A Must-Visit In Connaught Place
