Travelling is never an easy tasks and especially in the north of the country where biting winters invariably lead to train delays and rescheduling of itineraries. It was perhaps with this intention that commuters and travellers do not miss out on a mouth-craving time that the administration established a nice, breezy eatery tucked in right in the heart of South Delhi with Comesum, right outside the Nizamuddin Railway Station. Today, it is not only a choicest place for travellers and adventurists, but pretty much everyone, regardless of age, from around the city who savour a midnight meal and some in the wee hours of the morning.

Ask any Delhiite, what’s a good meal to have on any given day. Chances are, you’ll receive a singular answer- Paratha.

Often, the talk is about coffee and cappuccino when it comes to stepping out with friends or family for some fun time. But in this mad blaze for coffee, it is hot chocolate that often skips our imagination. Although, that shouldn’t be the case. Arguably, the finest hot chocolate that one can find in South Delhi is at Chocolateria San Churo, an Australian outlet that began operating in India nearly 7 years go. But its not only coffee or hot chocolate that one can savour here as with tons of deserts- cakes, patisseries- there’s some fine continental snacks that are on offer.
Timings: The outlet is open till 2 AM
Address: M-1, Greater Kailash Road, Main Market, Block M, Greater Kailash II, New Delhi, Delhi 110048
