Sanjay Lake to Get Restaurant at the Edge: DDA Aims to Make Yamuna-Par a New Food Destination

The DDA plans a 535 sq m restaurant (plus 800 sq m open seating) at Sanjay Lake, turning this East Delhi green space into a vibrant food destination by the Yamuna.

Delhi’s eastern zone, often overshadowed by South and Central Delhi’s commercial appeal, is now set for a major lifestyle transformation. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has announced an ambitious project — a restaurant complex at the edge of Sanjay Lake, designed to make Yamuna-Par the city’s newest and most scenic food and recreation destination.

Introduction

The upcoming restaurant facility at Sanjay Lake, one of Delhi’s largest water bodies, will feature a 535 sq m built-up area and an additional 800 sq m open seating space with lake views. The project aims to enhance public leisure infrastructure while boosting local tourism and night-time economy in the Trans-Yamuna belt.

According to DDA officials, the Sanjay Lake restaurant project will be developed under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, ensuring modern facilities, sustainable design, and a curated dining experience by the waterfront.

A Strategic Move to Boost East Delhi’s Appeal

The area around Mayur Vihar, Trilokpuri, and Kalyanpuri—traditionally considered residential zones—will benefit from improved footfall and renewed real estate potential once the project is completed. With lake-side dining, walking trails, and water recreation zones, this initiative could elevate East Delhi’s livability index, attracting both residents and investors.

Experts believe the move will also help balance Delhi’s urban development map, which has long tilted toward South and Central Delhi neighborhoods. The DDA’s focus on Yamuna-Par redevelopment comes at a time when infrastructure projects like the Barapullah Extension, Signature Bridge connectivity, and Akshardham corridor upgrades are already driving growth eastward.

Yamuna-Par: From Residential Suburb to Lifestyle Hotspot

The proposed restaurant’s design will focus on eco-sensitive architecture, ensuring the lake ecosystem and biodiversity remain unaffected. The open dining space will provide panoramic views of Sanjay Lake, creating a serene food and leisure experience away from Delhi’s usual chaos.

The DDA envisions this as a recreational landmark, much like the revamped India Gate lawns or Sunder Nursery, which successfully merged green zones with cultural and culinary hubs.

A Sustainable, Scenic Addition to Delhi’s Urban Landscape

Projects like these not only promote leisure but also boost property values in nearby localities. With better amenities and footfall, nearby residential markets such as Mayur Vihar Phase I, Patparganj, and Preet Vihar are expected to see rising demand for apartments and commercial spaces.

The initiative could also inspire similar waterfront developments across Delhi’s underutilized lakes and parks, aligning with the government’s broader “Viksit Bharat 2047” urban rejuvenation vision.
