The Big Chill Cafe, 35, Khan Market, Rabindra Nagar, New Delhi, Delhi 110003, India
What people say, in short
Go for the cheesecakes, mud pie and ravioli; a long-time favourite, though some find it overpriced or overhyped.
Big Chill is a long-running Delhi café that many people recommend for its food and desserts: the cheesecakes, Mississippi mud pie, tiramisu and banoffee pie get repeat praise, and its ravioli is a favourite savoury order. Two regulars say it has stayed consistent for a decade or more, and others praise how consistent the food is. The caveats: several call it overpriced, a few found the food mediocre for the hype, and one regular says the milkshakes have slipped. On space, one commenter finds the Khan Market outlet cramped next to the bigger Connaught Place one.
