The Junkyard Café – the restaurant not serving junk
Rajouri Garden evolved as a hotspot of eateries in West Delhi and we were all so excited. Every other day we hear of some new restaurant here. Given this explosion, the parking is haywire and the area is quite a clutter that we choose to miss. However we came across The Junkyard Café here on a very hot afternoon last Saturday. Given the harsh weather, the place wasn’t as crowded and the parking scene not too bad and we stopped here for lunch.
