Glimpse of menu

Food: The presentation as well as taste live up to expectations. It is a cafe offering mouth-watering food. It is a heaven of food . Their baked pasta, nachos and Bomb burger are my personal favourites. My friend and her mother are a huge fan of BYD they travel all the way from West Delhi to North Delhi just for BYD.
Baked Tom Pasta

Juicy Burger and Indian burger

Table Reservation: There is a huge waiting for this outlet as it’s always jammed so it’s better if one get a booking beforehand. Or you can wait the food will be worth the wait.

Interior :It is a small place. Although ambience is good. What I like most is they have a place in their café where they put notes from their customers reviews

Price: Reasonable you can order a number of dishes and yet nothing goes off the budget .It won’t make a hole in your pocket.

Timings:  8 a.m. to 11 p.m.


BYD is a complete package delicious food, amazing service and no hole in the pocket. What else can we can ask for?


Chutney is basically a side dish .Indian food is incomplete without chutney. In this post I will talk tell you recipes of three chutney which you can try at your homes.
