After nearly two years of inactivity due to the COVID pandemic, India’s restaurant scene is now buzzing with activity. Established restaurants are opening new outlets, while other eateries are exploring cloud kitchens and delivery-only models. Amidst this new buzz in the industry, a new cafe has grabbed our attention for its food and mission. DiGent Cafe is the latest addition to Delhi’s vibrant Khan Market area. Situated in the heart of the capital city, this is Digent’s second outpost after its first successful outlet in DLF Phase 4, Gurgaon.
At first glance, the Digent exudes a calm and relaxed vibe. The wooden interiors are simple and soothing, filled with natural light and plants. The bookshelves adorn either side of the huge windows and the pungent aroma of the fresh food instantly relaxes us. While European cuisine is a staple of Digent Cafe – a quick skim through their menu will reveal options with which most Indian diners are comfortable. So, whether you go for breakfast or lunch, dinner, or even brunch – rest assured that you will find a wide variety of options.
The founder, Bal Digent, explained that behind each name on the menu was a story from his work and travels abroad. In addition, Digent Cafe uses freshly prepared breads and sauces in its menu, sourcing local ingredients to make the dishes even more exquisite!
