The real flavours and delicacies of Delhi!

From crammed by-lanes to upscale neighbourhoods, cosmopolitan Delhi is a true cultural treasure trove romanticised for the diverse experiences and delectable blends of old and new it offers. The multifaceted flavour of Delhi is prominent in its eclectic and expansive food scene, which is lauded by foodies and gastronomes from around the world. From easy-on-the-pocket eateries to the most expensive and swanky restaurants, Delhi has a plethora of culinary tricks up its sleeve to appease all kinds of foodie palates.

Aloo Tikki from IMLY Courtyard, Rajendra Place

ALOO TIKKI FROM IMLY COURTYARD, RAJENDRA PLACE

The real flavour of the Delhi street food lies in the chaat. The original chaat is a mixture of potato pieces, crispy fried bread, Dahi Bhalla, gram, and tangy-salty spices. The mixture is garnished with sour home-made Indian chilly and saunth (dried ginger and tamarind sauce), fresh green coriander leaves, and yoghurt. However, there are several other popular variants now, including the one with an Aloo Tikki.

Where to find: IMLY Courtyard, and Haldiram’s, Lajpat Nagar 3

Momos

MOMOS

From the streets of Delhi to its high-end restaurants, momos are a special kind of South Asian dumplings and a staple in the national capital, which are a must-have and tastes best with its typical red spicy chutney.

Butter Chicken

BUTTER CHICKEN

Originated from the kitchens of Moti Mahal & Daryaganj in the 1950s, Butter Chicken is the most Delhi thing that you can ever eat. And, every non-vegetarian, who has lived in North India and tasted this ‘Delhicacy’ would vouch for the fact that the version of Butter Chicken that we get here in Delhi is simply unparalleled.

Where to find: Moti Mahal Delux, Greater Kailash (GK) 1, Daryaganj, Worldmark 1, and Dhaba, The Claridges

Paranthas

PARANTHAS

Fat Punjabi parathas laced with butter, scratch that, layered with butter is a speciality of the national capital. Stuffed parathas are the quintessential Delhi meal.

Where to find: Paranthe Wali Gali, Chandni Chowk, and Moolchand Parantha, Lajpat Nagar 4

Dal Bukhara

DAL BUKHARA

A rich and creamy slow-cooked black lentil simmered in a tomato-based sauce for hours. Truly a divine preparation, Dal Bukhara is a beacon of culinary excellence in Delhi and a must-try Mughlai delicacy. If you are ever craving this dish, better head to its place of inception- Bukhara’s located in ITC Maurya, New Delhi. Bukhara’s robust dishes bring to light food that once ruled the roost in the North-West Frontier. Their dishes are laced with the perfect amount of smokiness and flavour. Everything on their menu is delightful but the legend here is their famed Dal Bukhara.

Where to find: Bukhara, ITC Maurya, New Delhi

Chole Bhature

CHOLE BHATURE

Rich, spicy and heavy, this is one of the most popular Punjabi dishes and is definitely on my list of top 10 must-try dishes in Delhi. Don’t be surprised if you find it on the breakfast menu of restaurants across the capital. You can find this lip-smacking dish at all food joints, be it local joints or restaurants, given its popularity with Delhiites.

Where to find: Haldiram’s, Lajpat Nagar 3, Kwality, Connaught Place (CP), and Chache Di Hatti Kamla Nagar
