A short walk from the Taj East Gate, Sheroes Hangout is a small, deliberately understated cafe that doubles as a social campaign. The walls are painted with portraits of the women who run it and panels about their stories. The food is simple — chai, sandwiches, samosas, biryani at lunch — but you do not come here for the menu.
Pay what you think is fair when you finish. The work the cafe supports — through the Stop Acid Attacks campaign and the Chhaanv Foundation — is one of the more important grassroots social-justice projects in north India. Open from late morning into the evening.
