It's homely, neat and clean with floral spreads draped over the tables, calendar art on the walls and a sense of unhurried calm. Like you take the frenetic pace of city life and lower the dial to somewhere between zero and one. Jaldi kya hai (What's the rush?) Yes, there are forts to be seen, the Hawa Mahal to dawdle over and the Jantar Mantar with its mystical structures and incomprehensible notations, but that can wait.
Right now, at breakfast the decisions are over the puri bhaji, the omelettes, the fruit juice and yogurt, the poha or the upma, the grilled triangles of spinach corn and cheese sandwiches or the little rounds of garlic bread. It's not a huge spread but it's very satisfying in its time-tested recipes. There's no rush of flavours or bugles sounding the taste assault - it's like the gentle lapping of water at the river banks.
At dinner, the menu is displayed on 2-3 trays and you can have your choice of pasta, fettucini, pita bread or an assortment of continental and world cuisine. But alongside that is the dal, the parathas, the nan, the chana, the stuffed bitter gourd, tinda, jeera aloo, and plain rice or the inevitable fried rice. Get yourself a notepad and pen, decide what you want to have in pint-sized portions and pint-sized prices. Pick up a table number and in a short while, the food will arrive at your table. Served by waiters who are pleasant, smiling and yes, not in a hurry.
Don't miss the fruit custard. Then sit on one of the chairs along the extended verandah or on one of the cane chairs on the lawn and listen to the babble of children and families in companionable clusters. Or look up at the sky and breathe in the cool air of October before the winter steals in.
Chitra Cafeteria is like going back in time - to long summer holidays, to extended conversations with friends, to playing chuppa chuppi (hide and seek), going home only for dinner or to snacks that always seemed to materialise magically on dining tables. There are faux period places but this is not one of them. It has aged gracefully, beautifully and retains everything that people prize about the good old days.It may be stretching the truth a bit but I think I will remember the grandeur of Amber Fort in the evening with the same intensity as the languid pace of Chitra Cafeteria within the soulful confines of Arya Niwas Hotel
