Ghazal MULTICUISINE $$ (%2704448; Sector 17-C; meals 195-395; h8am11.30pm; a) A Chandigarh stalwart, grand Ghazal has an admirable Indian, Continental and Chinese menu. Ghazal special murg (cream-based chicken) or bhuna gohst (mutton) is nicely washed down with draught beer. Vegetarians are well catered for.

(Long live India!).
