Mughlai Food in Connaught Place: Guide to Lazeez Affaire Scindia House

Where is Lazeez Affaire Scindia House?

Lazeez Affaire Scindia House is at Atma Ram Mansion, 8 and 9A, Ground Floor, Scindia House, Connaught Circus, Atul Grove Road, Janpath (K-12, Outer Circle), Connaught Place, New Delhi 110001. It sits right in the heart of Connaught Place, one of Delhi's best-known dining and shopping districts.

Its central location makes it easy to reach for a business lunch, a shopping break or dinner with friends after work. You can open directions from the outlet page.

The outlet is part of the Lazeez Affaire family, which began in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi in 1999.

What Mughlai dishes is it famous for?

Kebabs are the stars here. The Galouti Kebab is soft and finely minced, known for melting in the mouth. The Mutton Chapli Kebab is a spiced, flattened patty cooked until crisp at the edges. The Gilafi Seekh Kebab is minced meat on a skewer, coated with chopped peppers and onions and grilled.

For a group, the Lazeez Special Raan — a slow-cooked leg of lamb — makes an impressive centrepiece. Among main courses, the Dal Lazeez (the house dal), slow-cooked Nihari and butter chicken are the dishes regulars return for. The Wazwan thali brings a spread of dishes together on one plate.

What are the timings?

Lazeez Affaire Scindia House is open from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 AM. That long window means you can come for lunch, an early evening drink or a late dinner after a night out in Connaught Place.

Weekends and evenings can be busy, so booking ahead is a good idea.

Timings can change on holidays and special occasions; if in doubt, call the outlet before you visit.

How much does a meal cost?

A meal for two costs approximately ₹2,000. The final bill depends on what you order — a kebab platter, a main course each, breads and drinks is a typical order.

Sharing dishes such as the raan or a kebab selection can be good value for groups.

Drinks from the bar will add to the cost, so factor them in if you are planning cocktails.

Does it have a bar?

Yes. Lazeez Affaire Scindia House has a full bar with classic cocktails. The restaurant has separate dining and bar areas, so a family dinner and a group having drinks can share the same evening without getting in each other's way.

Mocktails are available for guests who prefer non-alcoholic drinks — see our guide to mocktails at Lazeez Affaire for pairing ideas.

Kebabs and cocktails are a natural pairing, making the bar area a popular choice for after-work gatherings.

Is it good for families, celebrations and business lunches?

Yes. The elegant setting suits family dinners, birthdays and celebrations, while the central Connaught Place location and midday opening make it convenient for business lunches.

For larger groups, the raan and kebab platters make sharing easy, and the separate dining area keeps family meals comfortable.

For celebrations, reserve your table in advance and mention the occasion when you book.

How do you book a table?

You can book online on the reservation page or directly from the Scindia House outlet page. Choose your date, number of guests and a Lunch or Dinner slot.

To book by phone, call 96674 22772 or 96674 22773.

Booking ahead is recommended for weekend evenings and larger groups.

How should you plan your order?

Start with kebabs. A mixed selection of Galouti, Mutton Chapli and Gilafi Seekh lets everyone taste the range of textures, from soft and delicate to charred and smoky. If you are a larger group, add the Lazeez Special Raan as a centrepiece.

For the main course, a classic combination is butter chicken with Dal Lazeez, breads and rice. If you prefer something deeper and more robust, the slow-cooked Nihari is a hearty choice, especially with fresh bread. The Wazwan thali is ideal if you want to sample several dishes without ordering many plates.

Pair kebabs with a classic cocktail from the bar or a citrus mocktail, and choose a fruity drink to balance richer curries. Finish with something sweet if you have room.

Vegetarians can build a full meal around Dal Lazeez, paneer dishes and vegetarian starters — ask your server for recommendations on the day.
