Dining in New Delhi

As you might expect, dining in New Delhi is just as interesting, and fun as its citizens. You will find everything from casual and inexpensive street vendors, to some of the fanciest, most sumptuous dining nirvanas in the world. 

One of the favorite dining spots is Basil and Thyme, with celebrity chef Bhicoo Manekshaw, now in her eighties. For dining at a popular spot with an international crowd, you’ll find the popular Chor Bizarre, a beautiful Kashmiri restaurant. For inspired menus, check out one of India’s best and most acclaimed restaurants Dum Pukht and their famous raan-e-dumpukht, a leg of mutton marinated in dark rum. For a truly unique experience check out the Punjabi by Nature and their classic chicken masala.  

Since you enjoy variety, you’ll be amazed by the wide range of New Delhi restaurants. You can choose by how spicy, mild, or anything else with help from this guide.
