Gumbad Cafe Menu: What To Order And What It May Cost

The Gumbad Cafe menu at Jama Masjid, Old Delhi, covers Mughlai kebabs and curries, pizza and pasta, Middle Eastern plates such as babaganoush, mocktails, coffee, desserts and hookah. It does not include alcohol. The signature drink is the "Senorita" mocktail, and the dish magicpin calls the signature is Chicken Kali Mirch.

Here is the important caveat: no verified, itemised price list is publicly available. Zomato, magicpin, District and Restaurant Guru show the menu only as photos. The only typed price list found online is on a third-party blog that gives broad estimated ranges and calls them approximate. This page shares those as reported estimated ranges, unverified, so you can plan a budget, not as the cafe's actual prices.

This is an independent guide, not the cafe. Always check the current menu photos on Zomato, magicpin or District before ordering. Prices change, and taxes or service charges may be added.

How the Gumbad Cafe menu is set out

The cafe mixes Old Delhi flavours with the kind of food you would find in a South Delhi cafe. ThePrint noted the menu is printed in black and green and includes short notes on the history of Red Fort and Jama Masjid, which gives you something to read while you wait.

On District, the menu photos run to two pages of beverages and nine pages of food. Broadly, the dishes fall into these groups:

Kebabs and tandoori starters
Mughlai main course, with breads such as khamiri roti and garlic naan
Pizza, pasta and continental plates
Mezze-style plates such as babaganoush and hummus
Mocktails, shakes, coffee and tea
Desserts
Hookah

These are dishes named in press coverage or by diners on listing sites. Being named does not mean a dish is always available, so check on the day.

Gumbad Cafe menu with price: reported estimated ranges

People often search for a Gumbad Cafe menu with price. The only source with typed figures is a third-party menu blog (published May 2026, seen October 2026) that says its numbers are approximate and compiled from public sources. They have not been checked against the cafe's own menu, and this guide could not verify them.

Treat the bands below as reported estimated ranges, unverified, useful only for a rough budget:

Kebabs and starters: mostly reported somewhere in the Rs 250 to 600 band, with mutton barra kebab toward the top.
Mughlai mains and biryani: reported broadly in the Rs 280 to 550 band; breads cost much less.
Pizza, pasta and mezze plates: reported roughly in the Rs 250 to 500 band.
Mocktails, shakes, coffee and juices: reported roughly in the Rs 100 to 250 band, with tea lower.
Desserts: reported roughly in the Rs 120 to 250 band.

One diner on Yappe separately reported paying Rs 150 for a single cold drink. That is a single report, not a menu price.

Open the menu photos on Zomato or magicpin and check the exact price of anything you plan to order. Listing sites also show a cost for two of about Rs 1,200 to 1,500, which is a more reliable planning number than any single item estimate.

Gumbad Cafe menu hookah price

The same third-party blog reports hookah in two tiers: standard flavours estimated at about Rs 600 to 900, and premium flavours at about Rs 900 to 1,500. These are unverified estimates. Diners on Yappe describe the hookah as expensive.

ThePrint described the cafe's hookah as herbal and tobacco-free. Hookah service in Delhi restaurants sits in a legally restrictive area. Read the hookah and the law page before you plan around it. It is for adults only.

Minimum spend and other charges diners report

The menu price is not always the full story. Diners have reported the following, none of it confirmed by the cafe:

A minimum spend of around Rs 2,000 (several diners on magicpin).
A mosque-facing balcony kept for VIP guests with a Rs 15,000 minimum spend (one diner on District).
A mandatory 10% service charge (one diner on Restaurant Guru).

Ask about these at the entrance, before you order.

Jama Masjid menu vs the Lucknow Gumbad Cafe menu

Everything on this page refers to the Gumbad Cafe at Jama Masjid, Delhi. Searches for the Gumbad Cafe Lucknow menu point to a different business: The Gumbad Cafe in Husainabad, near the Ghanta Ghar clock tower. No source links the two.

For the Lucknow cafe, no item list or prices were found online. Restaurant Guru describes it as serving Indian food and breakfast, and District lists a cost for two of Rs 800. See the Gumbad Cafe Lucknow page for what is known.

Tips for ordering well

Check the latest menu photos on Zomato, magicpin or District the same day.
Ask about any minimum spend or service charge before you sit down.
Order a drink and a couple of small plates first. Diners often say service can be slow, so you can add more later.
If you want a full Mughlai meal at lower cost, eat at one of the older eateries nearby and come up to the roof for drinks and the view. The food near Jama Masjid guide lists options.

For timings and entry rules, see the visiting guide.
