Chor Bizarre Review

A fantasy of kitsch twisted into a unique space that is more irreverent museum than restaurant, Chor Bizarre (a pun on chor bazaar, literally "thieves' market") lives up to its name. It's packed with fascinating odds and ends (matchboxes, coins, chessboards, antique combs, ivory sandals, jewelry, chandeliers, a jukebox) and out-of-place furnishings (one table was previously a maharaja's bed, while a 1927 vintage Fiat has become the buffet-carrying "Chaat mobile"). This has to be one of India's most visually dynamic restaurants, a branch of which is now also open in London. Start with deep-fried lotus roots, prepared Kashmiri-style, and move on to kakori kebab, lamb marinated in 36 different spices and grilled in a tandoor, or cardamom-flavored lamb meatballs (goshtaba). Or order the Kashmiri tarami (thali), filled with treats and served from a traditional royal platter. (Tip: Avoid their extremely dull walking tour-cum-lunch package)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
