New Delhi
The staff canteen at Kerala House (Kerala Government HQ in Delhi) offers bargain set meals cooked with authentic Keralan spices. Lunchtimes are wildly popular with rice meals (veg, chicken, fish or buffalo) served with pappad and unlimited refills of lentil and bean side dishes. Dinner sees rice replaced with parathas, while appams (onion and coconut pancakes) are served at breakfast.
Diners are sometimes asked to use the back entrance to Kerala House on Janpath Lane.
