Fig at Malcha

new delhi's specialty coffee scene has grown fast, and chanakyapuri has quietly become one of the more interesting corners of it. fig sits on malcha marg, a street that runs through the diplomatic enclave, where the pace is a little different from the churn of connaught place or hauz khas. that specific geography matters. if you're making your way through that part of the city, this is a place locals have come to rely on rather than just stumble into. the standing fig has built around here isn't loud, but it's consistent, which tends to mean more over time. the address alone, 3/48 malcha marg, is worth saving in your phone before you head to chanakyapuri.
