 Best Restaurants in DelhiFor centuries, Delhi has been a thoroughfare for traders, and
this interaction between different cultures has strongly influenced
the cuisine in the city. North Indian cuisine is the most popular
and has a strong Persian/Turkish influence, especially in Mughlai
and Punjabi dishes. However, there are also a number of good
international restaurants based in New Delhi. Traditional North
Indian delicacies include various korma dishes, tandoori chicken,
seekh kebabs,
(meatballs) and biryani. |
Bukhara
For travellers who really want to splash out, Bukhara is the
only place to go. With a host of awards to its name, Bukhara has
been voted 'Best Indian Restaurant in the World' by the UK's
. With dishes like
(tomato, ginger and garlic simmered black
lentils) and mouthwateringly delicious tandoori prawns, it is easy
to see why it comes so highly recommended. The restaurant designed
a selection of platters named the Hillary Platter, the Presidential
Platter and the Chelsea Platter following a visit by the Clinton
family in 2009. Open daily for lunch and dinner, reservations are a
must.
