Nirula's

Old-school Delhi kids still hit this T3 Nirula’s for Hot Chocolate Fudge

This Nirula’s sits airside in Terminal T3’s international departures food court, and it runs roughly with the rest of the concourse hours, often from early morning to late-night departures. Expect airport pricing: mains and combos land in the ₹350–₹600 range, and desserts hover around ₹200–₹350. The rating hovers around 3.5/5, which matches the vibe: fine as a nostalgia stop, not a serious meal plan.

The one clear winner here is the Hot Chocolate Fudge sundae, the same basic setup Delhiites remember from the old Connaught Place days, just at airport prices. Regulars on Google Maps say they walk past other T3 options just to grab that sundae before a long-haul out of Delhi. If you want something small, a single scoop ice cream cup is cheaper than the sundaes and still hits that “old Nirula’s” taste.

Skip the pizzas and burgers if you care about freshness; multiple reviews call the slices “stale” or “reheated,” with a few noting that a veg pizza slice tasted off even after being warmed again. Burgers and sandwiches get the same comments, especially during mid-afternoon lulls when turnover is slower. For actual food, you’re usually better off with a thali, dosa, or curry from neighboring T3 outlets in the same food court.

Regulars treat this outlet as a dessert counter, not a full restaurant: they’ll eat a proper meal elsewhere in T3, then walk over to Nirula’s just for ice cream or one Hot Chocolate Fudge before boarding a flight to London, Toronto, or Sydney. Several reviews also point out that prices run noticeably higher than city Nirula’s branches in places like Connaught Place or Noida, with no bump in quality.

Tip: If your gate is in the 1–10 range at T3 international, grab a real meal near the gate, then budget 10–15 minutes to loop back to the central food court just for a quick sundae here.
