All American Diner

Comic book fantasy delightfully unfolds into pop art reality at the All American Diner, Delhi's answer to Riverdale's Pop Tate's. Get hyponotized watching Elvis and Marilyn shaking a leg on the wall as they give you the time of day. Groove to Pet Shop Boys or Jimi Hendrix playing on the jukebox as you decide between the Apple Caramel Cream Cheese French Toast and Blueberry Stack Pancakes. Wash it down with a Peanut Butter Malt or 1001 Dalmations (chocolate & orange smootie) as you contemplate if you dare to leave without trying the Mushrooms on Toast. Follow it up with Brownie Blast or Cheesecake, and you'll find yourself wondering how you had room for all that, as Jughead Jones does the same in a parallel universe.

American Diner offers great options for breakfast, from scrambled eggs to pancakes to bacon, and don't forget the lovely breads! The shakes are amazing and the deserts - especially the cheese cakes are simply fantastic. So yes, basically, American Diner knows how to whip up the perfect breakfast for everyone!

Expect long queues (could take you any where from 15-30 minutes to get a table), and nope they don't reserve tables over the phone either. The ambience is great with a typical american restaurant feel. They serve drinks too. 

There is a jukebox, which i have yet to see anyone use, but hey, they play good music anyways. 

Go to this place with your friends or family, and I bet you'll end up having a helluva good time!

Good hearty breakfasts can be hard to come by in north India.  As an American living in Delhi I often find myself craving big filling breakfasts, especially on those late mornings after a night out.  I have heard about "The Diner" from my flatmates, but I finally made it there last weekend with two friends visiting from the US.  The menu had all the requirements: french toast, omelettes, hash browns, steak and eggs (seriously, but the "steak" turns out to be chicken in the description...), and breakfast combinations (a la Denny's).  We went all out ordering all of the above, minus the steak and eggs.  For the most part everything was as we hoped.  Only real complaints were that the hash browns turned out to be a sad little disc of processed potato and the coffee showed up after the meal.  However, on the whole, the food was good and satisfied our craving for big American breakfast.  I must say that the portions were not full excessive American size, but that's probably for the best...  And if you need a hot cup of coffee to complete your breakfast scene, my friends claimed it was some of the best they had in India.  

After breakfast, we walked off our huge meal in Lodi Garden across the street and sat in the sun watching the local families enjoy their weekend.  Definitely a recommend lazy Delhi Sunday.
