Anybody who has ever visited Connaught Place or lives in the vicinity of Central Delhi is bound to run into Galina. The restaurant is located in the center of Gole Market and is hard to miss while driving out of Connaught Place towards West Delhi. I had heard tales about the chicken served at Galina for ages and finally decided to pay a visit to the semi-circle restaurant give or take ten years ago. Ever since I have paid an odd visit to Galina each time I was in the vicinity with good time on hand.

The place has not changed much in the many years that I have been visiting it. The moment you enter, looking at the décor you would understand the place only means business. Galina has a to-the-point sitting arrangement with pretty ancient looking tables and chairs, but then people who have heard about it would know it is just about the food at Galina. Galina can very well be categorized as a to-the-point eatery, where one would venture in only for a quick meal and looking for brilliant service or ambience would be expecting too much.

It is one of the best places in the heart of Delhi where one can go for a 100% non-vegetarian meal. Galina’s tandoori chicken is extremely popular and once you dig into the succulent meat you would know exactly why. Almost all the chicken dishes are to be recommended, of which the kadai chicken, afghani chicken, chicken salami and chicken kababs are the most outstanding. The mutton and fish dishes too are delicious; however, for me the chicken dishes overpower all others. All in all a great place if you only have non-veg food and especially chicken on your mind, and though the ambience is non-existent, the prices compensate by being dirt cheap.
