Eating Out

Delhi's restaurant scene is improving at very fast pace. Numerous restaurants open up every month. These days even fantastic Italian or Thai restaurants have started, much to the relief of the big diplomatic crowd. Besides, Delhi's vendor stalls offer all sorts of food, ranging from deep-fried poppadums to fresh fruits. Of course, there is always a local restaurant where one can try the curries or thalis. Also, it won't cost you an arm and a leg to eat at these "local" restaurants. Furthermore, be aware that generally, food is cooked and served with a profusion of spices, something that might be par for the course for the locals but might be bothersome (that's putting it mildly) to an outsider. The same goes for meat at the vendor stalls: some people can fall sick by simply looking at it, while others can eat to their heart's content. It is quite common for both locals and travellers, to eat at hotels. Unlike in the West, hotels in India/Delhi often feature above-average food; one reason for this might be the need to maintain a reputation among the steady stream of foreign and richer Indians staying there.

In Delhi particularly in the South Delhi ask any body who is not aware about Rajinder da Dhaba near Kamal Cinema, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi. So are the traditional resturant chains like Haldiram's, Nathu's, Bikaneriwala, Evergreen at Green Park, Bengal Sweets at South Ex-I, Mc Donalds, Nirulas, Domino's, Sagar Ratna, Karim's etc.

Particularly in Delhi one can be assured for the quality of foods, they are much better in quality than any part of the country. One must try the chole kulche from some famous out lets. One must not say no to Papri Chat, Tikkis, Raj Kachori, Kulfi Faluda etc. they are really mouth watering.

sss

Lovely food, great service and reasonably priced. A meal for 15 people cost around Rs 2500(about USD$55). Open till late although I wouldn't recommend eating there too late as the food is rich and delicious. You are bound to overeat and then suffer from a lack of sleep due to indulgence.

Bukhara

For the most tender Tandoori Lamb Raan you have ever had go to Bukhara Restaurant in the Sheraton in Delhi. It is a little touristy and they will rush you in and out but this dish is amazing. Also the Dahl is fantastic, it has got to be 90% fat, but it is so good. They also make the biggest Naan bread you have ever seen. Go with a group and be prepared to enter a food coma. You have to eat with your fingers if you really want to enjoy.

Ambience is just brilliant ..a place you will fall in love with. The charm is in sitting outside so ideally the best time to visit is evenings or the months of Oct- Feb. A terrace lounge bar, complete with Balinese tropical garden amidst pagodas.

Parikrama

The food isn't great but worth slending an hour of your life up in this restaurant late in the evening because of the unique view offered. A brilliant way to forget what lies on the streets of Delhi and enjoy the lights or just the city during the daytime. I would settle for a coffe and some snacks preceded by a soft drink to get a great view for an hour!!!! Main attraction: the restraunt is on 24th floor and rotates on its axes; so its really worth to see.
