Havemore

Pandara Road's 52-year North Indian anchor — where Delhi's night ends with kebabs

H

Family-run establishment

Founder · Est. 1972 · Pandara Road, Delhi NCR

Havemore has occupied its position on Pandara Road Market since 1972, serving North Indian fare to the same constituency that frequents its neighbour Gulati — the diplomatic, government, and after-hours crowd that converges on this small market complex near India Gate. The name is a directive: have more. The portions comply.

The restaurant's fifty-two years have been characterised by steady, unpretentious service of a menu that represents Delhi's mainstream North Indian dining tradition: tikka, biryani, butter chicken, dal, and the kebabs that the tandoor produces from morning to midnight. Havemore does not claim innovation or heritage — it claims reliability, which, over half a century, is itself a significant achievement.

The midnight-plus closing time makes Havemore, alongside Gulati, one of Delhi's most dependable late-dining options. The Pandara Road market after 10 PM has a specific energy: illuminated storefronts, the sound of orders being called, and the knowledge that in a city that closes early, this small market complex is still serving.

“The name says it all. We are called Havemore. We serve more. That is the entire business plan.”

What Defines Havemore

Chicken Tikka— The tandoor-grilled preparation that is the most ordered starter. Marinated, smoky, and served with mint chutney.
Biryani— The house biryani — rice and meat layered, slow-cooked, and served with raita.
Butter Chicken— The Delhi standard, creamy and consistent. Ordered by almost every table.
Seekh Kebab— Minced meat on skewers, tandoor-cooked. The late-night order.
Rum Ball— The dessert that Havemore regulars insist upon — a chocolate-and-rum confection that concludes the meal.

The Experience

Pandara Road Market is Delhi's most atmospheric late-night dining market — small, concentrated, and illuminated. Havemore occupies a central position within the market. The seating is comfortable, the portions are large, and the service operates with the efficiency of a restaurant that has been doing this for fifty-two years.
