Defence Colony is an upscale neighborhood in South Delhi, India. It is a desirable residential location because of its leafy properties, its well-regarded market, and its proximity to other South Delhi neighborhoods.
The neighborhood gets its name for being the home to large numbers of retired officers in the Indian military.
Restaurants in Defence Colony Market include Swagath, a South Indian fish restaurant, and a vegetarian branch, the Colonel Kebab's restaurant famed for its broiled meats, and Sagar, which serves quick and inexpensive dosas, idli, thalis, and other specialties. There are several bakeries, including the Defence Colony Bakery, and a number of well-stocked grocery stores. The neighborhood is home to a Baskin-Robbins icecream parlour and a Subway outlet, as well as a branch of India's Barista chain.
Not to forget and discount the various other cuisine choices that are available, like Chinese at 4s and Aka-Saka and Moets. Sizzlers at Moets and Gola Sizzlers. Most of the restaurants have a bar and there are few Restro Bars, like RPM and Moets. And for a cup of coffee we have Barista and Angels in my Kitchen, an amazing bakery.
