Unless DK has taken a significant turn for the better, I must strongly disagree. The food there on my several visits has run the gamut from the so-so to the so-bad.
I speak as one sympathetic to them, and with at least one indelible memory of my experiences there:
In the very early morning of April 2, 2011, I went there to watch on their biggish screen India battle Sri Lanka in the ODI cricket world cup final (ODI stands for “One Day International” – a form of the game that lasts one day, as the brightest among you will have guessed, not the five days that real cricket takes). I got there around 7 a.m. From time to time as the game progressed they brought around cups of chai and snacks, more substantial as the morning progressed. I didn’t specifically order anything, but food and drink kept coming. My wife and daughter joined me at my table for a while in the late morning, snacked, drank and left. When the game ended with the Indian captain, with one eye on history and the other on the ball, hitting that ball out of the ground I had no idea how much we’d eaten and drunk at my table. They produce a bill that was comical in its lowness.
I’d been there before on many occasions and have been there since, but less and less so because their food has been so reliably mediocre (as opposed to spectacularly bad). They’ve occasionally had a good fried fish, but little else stands out.
I haven’t been in about five years, and I suppose it’s possible that newbies* like anon6418899 have had better experiences there.
- just seeing if he’ll rise to the bait
