Racecourse club in Delhi takes you back to yester year’s setting. Located in South Delhi, lush green Golf course on one side and Polo field on the other. A favored place for reunions and get togethers, this place has wonderful memories. One of their signature dish Sesame Chicken, has managed to stay constant on the Menu over the years, soft chicken with a crispy cover and hint of sesame flavor.
