Triveni Terrace Café at Mandi House in Central Delhi is a lesser known city marvel. This one comes straight from Curly Tales’ heart. It’s a perfect winter eatery that leaves us a little more in love with the capital. Every visit to Triveni reminds us of fond food memories and new food tastings.
What is it
The café sits inside Triveni Art Gallery. Triveni Terrace Café opens to a huge garden-courtyard with steps that act like bleachers. It lays calm and magnificent, overlooking the amphitheater. You will find a mix of poets, artists, students, activists and tourists minding their own business under one roof. People sit in the garden all day, reading and sipping. It’s the best way to spend your winter in the city. The outdoor ceiling is covered with plant hangings adding meadow feels to concrete. Inside, the space is cute and cozy. Chairs are wooden perpendiculars and walls a happy blue and yellow. It gives off a very canteen vibe for the trendy place.
Coming right up
Beetroot Halwa is the most popular dish at Triveni Terrace Café. It’s a rendition of the Indian staple gajar ka halwa. Sabudana Khichdi is another masterpiece. Apart from this, Kaddu Aur Moong Dal Ke Shammi and Bangla Scotch Egg will change your perception of Indian cuisine. This place is iconic, not because of their location or crowd, but because of the unique genius their menu displays. The food is like no other. Their concoctions and healthy alternatives to childhood favourites is why it becomes home to passersby. Once you’re a regular here, no other place will satiate your healthy indulgence cravings, maybe not even home.
Triveni Terrace Café is melting peace pot of art and culture. The food is representative of its customers’ individuality. One could also imagine the customers are representative of the menu’s originality. Who knows what came first, the chicken or the egg. All we care about is the Biryani that comes afterwards. The whole package is easy on the eyes and heavy on the cravings. Triveni Terrace Café is one of those spots on the city that you must see for the real Dilli feels. You feel it?
