Gurgaon has more dog menus than most Indian cities. Several places cook for dogs, and a few are dog parks with a cafe attached. Most are along Golf Course Road, in Sectors 54 to 59, and out towards Gwal Pahari. You’ll need a car: dogs can’t ride the Metro. These are the places we could confirm in October 2026.
Restaurants with a dog menu
Under The Neem, Sector 80. At Karma Lakelands off NH 8. It has a separate seating area for pets, a garden, and two dog bowls on the menu: one vegetarian (lentils, vegetables and rice) and one with shredded chicken. Breakfast runs from 8:30 to 10:30 am, a good time for a dog in summer.
The Big Tree, Sector 54. In Ocus Technopolis on Golf Course Road, with garden and cabana seating outdoors and a pet menu. An evening place: it opens at 1 pm.
Soul Garden, Sector 59. Garden and outdoor seating at Ascott Ireo City Central, with a pet menu. Don’t confuse it with Cafe Soul Garden in DLF Phase 4, which has closed.
Throttle Shrottle, Gwal Pahari. The biker cafe has a chef who cooks veg or non-veg meals for dogs, and it does dog birthdays. Go to the Gwal Pahari outlet; the other branch isn’t listed as dog-friendly.
Pubs and evening spots
EFFINGUT, Sector 42. The brewpub at Golf Avenue 42 has an outdoor section where dogs are welcome.
Dog parks with a cafe
Tail Club, Sector 59. About an acre of lawn where dogs can run off the leash, and a cafe with separate menus for dogs and people. Carry your dog’s vaccination card; they check it at the gate. Mornings and evenings only (6:30 to 10:30 am and 5:30 to 9:30 pm on Zomato; another guide says it’s closed on Mondays). Off-leash play with dogs you don’t know isn’t for every dog, so watch yours.
Barks and Meows, Gwal Pahari. On the Faridabad road, with indoor and outdoor play areas, a pool and a pet menu. Phone them rather than relying on the website.
Paw Petisserie Cafe, Sector 43. A bakery-cafe for dogs and cats in Wazirabad, with indoor seating. Closed on Mondays.
A day out
Ducks And Dogs Cafe, Manesar. Out in the Aravalis at Pandala village, listed as pet friendly and open from 6 am. A breakfast drive on a winter weekend.
Before you go
- Call first. Rules change, and listings can be out of date. Ask where your dog can sit.
- Carry the vaccination card as a photo on your phone. Dog parks ask for it.
- Leash on outside. Gurgaon’s 2026 registration order asks for a leash whenever your dog is out; see our Gurgaon dog parks guide.
- Take a water bowl and a towel, and walk your dog first so it settles.
- Don’t feed from the table. Onion, garlic, chocolate and grapes are common in cafe food, and the ASPCA lists them all as foods to keep from dogs. A dog menu is the safer choice.
- Mind the heat and the air. Summer afternoons are too hot for paws, and on bad-air winter days keep the outing short. More in heatstroke in dogs.
Dog-friendly cafes in other cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
