- Built to resemble an antiques market (thus the play on Chor Bazaar, the notorious “thieves’ market”), the restaurant is scattered with bric-a-brac: mismatched tables, tiled floors, Raj-era portraits, coloured lamps and the famous old-timey car (here at the original branch, a 1935 Fiat Bolella) converted to a chaat and salad buffet station. Vintage Hindi film music underscores the effect. The food is just as evocative. The menu seeks inspiration from Punjab to Cochin, but Kashmir has pride of place. Chor Bizarre was one of the only places in Delhi that served Kashmiri food, and twenty years on, the establishment’s two branches (plus its offerings at Epicentre’s Drift) may still be the most inviting places to eat it. With prior notice, they will arrange a wazwan feast, but for a single person everything you could desire is available in one tarami (a carved copper vessel with a conical top). The vegetarian version (Rs 395) substitutes the meat with tamatar chaaman, dum aloo, gobi rogan josh and chount wangan (green apples and aubergine in a spiced tamarind-based gravy). The gazab ka tikka (Rs 325) was succulent and creamy, and the machchli methi tikka provided a sharp and clear contrast. The galauti kebabs were sensational: flat, pan-fried fatty mutton discs, succulent and pink at the core. Raunaq-e-seekh (Rs 325) brought up the rear with long, bell-pepper-dotted seekhs cut open to reveal a tiny smear of coriander-infused cream cheese. The yoghurt-marinated gushtaba (Rs 375) was lush and silky, while the rogan josh (Rs 345) juggled its spices expertly. The little Jammu rajma beans (Rs 275) were a capable accompaniment to the tamatar chaman (paneer in a tomato marinade; Rs 255). The famous Chor Bizarre haaq (Rs 255) was expertly cooked and flavoured with dots of fennel, while the chount wangan (Rs 255) was tart and tamarind-sharp. Eating amidst the profusion of objets de fake art – and occasionally eating off them – makes a meal at Chor Bizarre curiously entertaining. It’s highly recommended..

- Located in old Delhi & with branches as far as London, Chor bizzarre is a lovely eating out place. The interiors are amazing & the food wonderfull. The interiors make you feel like you are in chor bazaar & the menu also has a distinctive look. Food is good & place is flocked by many foreigners besides NRI's & Indians. One of the best place for authentic kashmiri foods.I still can't foget their Rogan josh & dum alooo ......aaaaaah yummmmiee

- Located in the heart of Old Delhi, Chor Bizarre is the amongst the few niche restaurants in Delhi that retain the Old world charm. The tastefully done wooden interiors inspired by the ‘Thieves markets’ are replete with a spangling of antique artefacts lining the walls, the glass of the table you are sitting around or the antique fiat parked in the centre –your salad bar for the day. The ambience it creates strikes just the right chord between being grand and cosy. And when this combines with the fabulous food it’s what converts eating here into a fine dining experience. There are a range of dishes to choose from be it starters, main course or the dessert and each dish outdoes the other (The variety is especially a welcome surprise if you are vegetarian). For starters there is a wide selection, we ordered the paneer tikka, papri chat (trust me it’s one of the best) and kule ki chat (a rare delight) with a selection of papads. The starters left you feeling so satiated that there was hardly any space for main course, but that feeling lasted only till the dishes arrived. The ‘Dal makhni’–its rich smoky and ultimately tasty- and the Malai Kofta should definitely find a place on your must haves. The service is excellent and the staff cordial, though I dearly wish they had not stopped the live music. Overall if you are looking for a place that evokes the forgotten magic of Purani Dilli, Chor bizarre is a must visit, it echoes the rare understated class of yester years.

- Wow from the word Go.....the restaurant is so INDIAN that you really cherish the way the decor is maintained in today's times ....the modern look bug has not bitten this place....whether in London/Delhi, the food quality and taste is just outstanding....try the non-vegetarian sampler and you would always want to go back here....relished the indian cuisine more than the kashmiri
