New Delhi: After months of gruelling election campaigns, from the Lok Sabha polls in 2024 to the Assembly elections, Sunday marked a relaxing and refreshing weekend for the Gandhi family. Rahul and Priyanka, both Congress MPs from Rae Bareli and Wayanad Lok Sabha constituencies, respectively, took a break from their official engagements. This rare family outing, amidst their busy political schedules, at the city’s iconic Kwality restaurant, offers a glimpse into their personal lives and the importance they place on family time.

They were accompanied by their mother, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka’s husband, Robert Varda, daughter Miraya Vadra, and her mother-in-law.

The entire Gandhi clan gathered at the Kwality restaurant to savour the delectable chole-bhature and a variety of other mouth-watering dishes, truly relishing the family time and the culinary delights.

Rahul also shared photos of the family sitting and dining together on his WhatsApp. The images, as they landed on social media, also elicited many likes and comments from the netizens, many of whom hailed the family for sharing some special moments at the dining table.

In the photos, Rahul and his family sit in a cosy restaurant and flaunt broad smiles. Sonia Gandhi also shares a smile, while Robert Vadra flaunts a fully bloated bhatura.

Putting the photos on his status, Rahul wrote, “Family lunch at the iconic Kwality Restaurant.”

“Try the Chole Bhature if you go,” he said further in an advice to the foodies.

The picture also makes for a powerful frame as it represents three Parliamentarians in a single snap, the largest-ever representation from the Gandhi family.

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and an MP from Rae Bareli, his sister Priyanka, an MP from Wayanad, and their mother, Sonia Gandhi, a former Congress president and a Rajya Sabha member, together form the largest-ever representation from the Gandhi family in the Parliament.

For those unfamiliar, the Kwality restaurant, nestled in Delhi’s Connaught Place, was a favoured haunt of American soldiers during the pre-Independence era. Over the years, it has retained its charm and continues to be a beloved dining spot for food enthusiasts, owing to its diverse range of multi-continental cuisines.

The chola-bhatura served at the restaurant remains one of the most sold-out items for generations. Many of its regular customers include celebrities from varied fields, including Bollywood. Late actress Nargis was a regular visitor here.
