Local know-how
  • Be cautious when ordering from places like Cake 'O' Clocks, as some visitors reported orders not being delivered for hours, no refunds, and even blocked numbers.
  • Areas like Ghantaghar Chandni Chowk can be very crowded and have cleanliness issues, so be prepared for that experience.
  • At Hauz Khas Lake, observe hundreds of bats in trees during the day; they can seem scary if you are there late at night.
  • For an early breakfast, Roastery Coffee House opens around 8:15 AM, offering dishes like Veg fruit bowl and Iced latte.
  • The Red Taj, a tomb mirroring the Taj Mahal's silhouette, is located inside a Catholic cemetery and has free entry.
Everyday costs to consider
  • Delhi: Expect very reasonable prices and great value for meals at places like The Best Kitchen and Bistro 55, but be wary of potential money loss from undelivered orders at bakeries.
  • Agra: Entry to The Red Taj is free.
