Mughal Darbar
An affordable, long-standing Wazwan restaurant on Residency Road, offering generous portions and traditional floor seating.
Located near the General Post Office on Residency Road, this is a classic spot in the city center for Wazwan, featuring both regular seating and a traditional Dastarkhan floor-seating area. Signature dishes include Rista, Gushtaba, Rogan Josh, and Mutton Biryani, alongside sweet Sheermal flatbreads. According to reviews, a Wazwan platter costs around ₹1,200 and can be shared by three people, offering great value. However, reviews are mixed, with some praising the delicious and affordable food, while others are disappointed by the taste and quality. It gets crowded during peak season, so visiting during off-peak hours is recommended, and it is wise to ask about portion sizes before ordering. A meal for two costs about ₹1,000–1,200. It is within walking distance of Lal Chowk.
