If you are looking for a safe, reliable, air-conditioned, relaxing place for lunch in Delhi (and come to think of it, who isn’t ?) then look no further than the little restaurant tucked into the far corner of the Santushti Shopping Complex.
Welcome to Basil & Thyme.
A favourite haunt of ladies who lunch and foreigners shopping at Santushti’s elegant shops, Basil & Thyme serves consistently good, Western food.
Lots of quiches, salads, pasta, crepes. Divine olive pate.
No alcohol.
Good puddings.
OK coffee.
Delicious ginger fizz, which is a lurid bubble-gum pink, but refreshing.
It’s not that cheap, I warn you – well, I think Rs 125 (+ VAT) is a lot for a small coffee.
Having said that, it’s a relaxing place to eat in one of Delhi’s cutest and quietest shopping centres.
