Parra by Khubani takes you on a culinary voyage that harmoniously
connects love and gastronomy. Founded by brothers Sharad and
Naresh Madan, the restaurant is inspired by the picturesque
aesthetics of the Greek Isles, yet provides flavours from
Mediterranean, Asian, Continental, and progressive Indian cuisines.
Apart from the Instagrammable opportunities, this Model Town
upscale café offers dishes suitable for cold Delhi evenings, such as
their Raw banana galouti kebab, and if you’re feeling experimental,
there is the Avocado dahi puri – a modern take on an Indian street
food favourite. From Asian and Italian main courses to its house-
special cocktails, Parra can be an ideal spot if you’re searching for
everything all in one place.
