Restaurants in Connaught Place: The Land of Fine Dining Never Left

Connaught Place is the dining heart of New Delhi — arcades from the Raj era, the Outer Circle's office rush, Rajiv Chowk Metro disgorging thousands every evening, and restaurants that have fed Delhi for generations. If you're searching for "restaurants in Connaught Place" or "restaurant in CP", you'll find every style — quick cafés, street-side legends, bars and fine-dining rooms. The trick is knowing which room deserves your evening.

Lazeez Affaire at Scindia House is the newest chapter of one of Delhi's oldest fine-dining stories. The brand was founded by Priyank Sukhija in 1999 at Malcha Marg, Chanakyapuri, and for over 27 years it has been known for consistency, deep flavours and a loyal following across generations — particularly among expats and tourists who want North Indian food done the classic way.

The CP kitchen keeps the discipline of the flagship: slow-cooked Dal Lazeez black lentils simmered overnight, a robust Paneer Lababdar, perfectly balanced Butter Chicken, tandoor-fresh breads and a serious kebab counter — Mushroom Galouti, Dai Kebab, Hara Bhara Kebab for the vegetarians, soya chaap and tandoori platters for the table to share.

Two things decide dining in CP: reach and ritual. Reach, because Lazeez Affaire sits right on the Outer Circle — a five-minute walk from Rajiv Chowk Metro, with parking nearby. Ritual, because this is a room built for long dinners: warm lighting, classic touches and a menu that works for a ₹695 kebab lunch just as well as a ₹3,000-for-two celebration.

If your shortlist of Connaught Place restaurants already includes the famous names, add Lazeez Affaire Scindia House for the night you want Delhi's North Indian heritage served without compromise. Tables: +91 96674 22772, or book online on our reservation page.
