LUDHIANA · EST. GARDEN CAFE

A quiet corner
under the banana leaves.

Elgin Cafe is a colonial-style courtyard on Sidhwan Canal Road — terracotta tiles, wrought-iron chairs and a menu that drifts from Bangkok to Beirut to Punjab, one plate at a time.

Come find a table.

Best for lazy afternoons, birthdays that turn into dinners, and "just one drink" that never is.
