Ovenfresh is a Chandigarh-grown bakery cafe chain that many people call a local favourite. Several diners single out the pastas, especially the alfredo, along with pizzas, cakes and bakery items, and several say portions are generous and the food is worth the price.

A couple of commenters also mention long waits and heavy crowds, and one notes the ambience is not great. Ovenfresh has several outlets in Chandigarh, including Sector 7 and the Industrial Area; this page covers the Sector 35 one.

• RecommendsNamed as an honourable mention for pizza.

Baba Chicken in Sector 22 is a frequent commenter pick in Chandigarh for butter chicken, with one diner also praising the kali mirch chicken and rara. One diner recommends asking for less oil and no cream, and a commenter suggests requesting a spicy version since the standard gravy can be sweeter or bland.

The Sector 17 Indian Coffee House is a Chandigarh institution that many people value mainly for nostalgia and its old-era vibe rather than the food itself. A few recommend the masala dosa, and a couple call it a budget-friendly spot with good food. The caveats are real: two commenters warn the food is bad, a couple feel it has declined from its best years, one notes there is no AC, and one jokes the room feels like a prison canteen. Overall, more recommend it than not, but go for the experience rather than a culinary one.
