2. Diggin Café

‘Diggin’ is a lively café with an British Summer Park theme. Inspired by the Covent Garden in London, the owner who was educated there reflects the summer park culture here in South Delhi, Siri Fort Marg, opposite Gargi College, DU. His idea of a peaceful place to relax and eat is by bringing the outside into the inside. Thus the café has a lot of plants, artistic birds and windows which try and bring in the park feeling within the dining space. You enter a summer London space when you enter ‘Diggin’. The vintage clocks bring back the British vibe, accompanied by a remarkable host of Italian and Continental cuisine. Already running a DU special menu for students and coming up with a special health menu for the beautiful girls that hover around this spot, ‘Diggin’ is an excellent place to hang out!
