Cafes are not as common in Delhi as they are in France, but the Smoke House Deli outlets across Delhi do give us the jitters whether it is the exemplary service or the mouth watering preparations. The Deli has very signature hand painted walls which run through all four outlets with slight differences to each. The Saket outlet is the latest addition to the SmokeHouse family, with beautiful, vintage interiors, retro floral lamps hanging on top of the tables and an amalgamation of dark and pastel floral couches.
The Khan Market outlet with its big French windows beautifully written quotations on the walls. The Hauz Khas Village outlet with the beautiful windows overlooking the lake and the relics inspired from the sultans make for a perfect place for a quiet meal in the effervescent village.

Here, Smoked Jalapeno and Pimento omelette served with a toasted piece of bread, garlic flavoured grilled tomato and a crispy hash brown.Terracotta scrambled eggs with sausage and bacon – the soft, slightly runny eggs with cut up sausages and bacon made for a hell of a dish.
Some of the Smoke House Deli favourites are their burgers, perfectly cooked steak and the pasta dishes – my personal favourites.
