What people say, in short
Ama Cafe in Majnu ka Tilla is one of Delhi's most discussed cafés and one of its most divisive. Fans recommend the pancakes, cheesecakes and other desserts, and several say the food is good value. Plenty of others call it overhyped: a former college hangout that influencer attention turned into a place with long waits for a table, and several regulars feel the food has slipped from what it was a few years ago. Even some critics say the classic pancakes are worth having.
