This article explores how the café’s all-day menu, art-strewn walls and midnight hours have turned it into India’s most bookmarked micro-restaurant, rewriting the subcontinent’s dining script one seasonal brew at a time.

Café 17 at Taj Chandigarh keeps the classic five-star coffee-shop promise: an airy, glass-walled room overlooking Sector 17, a buffet that roams from panch-phoron fish to Parisian pastries, and à-la-minute dosa, ramen or risotto counters that stay busy past midnight.
