Located amidst the historical ruins, a soothing lake and lush greenery, Hauz Khas Village is one of the best places in Delhi if you are looking for a memorable dining and party experience. But, what if, like us, you are also a dessert person. We believe desserts can make or break a meal. So, we tried a few places in the zone and these are the ones we loved. Read on for Spoon UDelhi’s recommendations.

True to its name, Choco Vault is what it says it is. You are greeted by a vault door, opening which you gain access to a chocolate wonderland. No exaggeration intended, but with seating the shape of chocolate muffins, it is hard not to launch into a eulogy. Our recommendations to indulge you in a love affair with chocolate are the Choco Nuke Ball, Chocolate Spoon, Chocolate Syringe and the Brownie Waffle Stick.
As is obvious, the Chocolate Spoon has become our favorite.
2. Hokey Pokey

This cozy outlet is the perfect place to culminate an evening in HKV, if you love ice-creams. Every ice cream sundae from this place is the definition of perfection, be it presentation or taste. The best bet would be Double Chocolate Therapy which can cure anyone’s madness for chocolate.
3. L’ Opera

This slightly expensive yet heavenly place hosts a wide variety of authentic and high-end French delicacies like macarons, croissants and pastries. The macaroons are on every Delhi foodie’s bucket list. The best being Royal Chocolate, Rasberry and Salty Caramel macaroons. These little treats will dissolve in seconds and leave an extremely sweet taste in your mouth.
