I visited Paranthe Wali Gali for the first and last time while on my hunt for the best street food spots during my first few months in the city.

For luxury, class, and a five-star experience look no further than Dum Pukht. Located in the ITC Maurya luxury hotel in Delhi, this award wining dining establishment is a treat for the eye and pallet. Dum Pukht was a 2016 travelers choice winner.

32. Lodi Garden Restaurant
Cuisine type: Indian, Fusion
One of Delhi’s premiere attractions is the Lodhi Gardens, a city park that covers 90 acres (36.42 hectares) in New Delhi with tombs and ruins from the 15th century. Closest to the JNL metro station, the Lodhi Gardens are a must-see for a New Delhi itinerary. There is no entrance fee, but you could opt to pay for a private walking tour or just wander among the gardens and pre-Mughal architecture yourself. And why not dine at Lodi-The Garden Restaurant to round out your Lodhi Gardens experience. The restaurant is right next to the gardens. You can sit at tables in a glass menagerie overlooking the rich and luscious greenery of the gardens, or if you would prefer, you can eat outside.
The pricing is pretty reasonable. For example, a main course of chicken penne pasta will cost about 10 USD but this doesn’t include any beverages, sides or appetizers. The restaurant offers both traditional dishes from India with specialties like mutton, ribs, dishes from other cuisines like pasta. A day at the gardens is a perfect addition to your time in New Delhi and be sure to check out the Lodi Garden Restaurant while you are there, whether for an evening cocktail or a lavish brunch.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
Whenever I'm in Satya Niketan, I can't resist dropping by QD's Restaurant for their Tandoori Momos - they're a local legend! After you've had your fill, take a walk around; the area is dotted with cozy cafes perfect for coffee aficionados. It's my go-to spot for a foodie fix followed by some quality café hopping. And the momos here? The best in town. Just hop off at the Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus metro, and you're there. Grab a plate of those momos, trust me, you'll want to come back for more.
35. Carnatic Cafe

Cuisine type: South Indian
If you’re craving some authentic South Indian cuisine, make sure to check out the famous Carnatic Cafe in Greater Kailash II. I love heading there for a delicious lunch of traditional dosas and filter coffee with my friends and family. The cozy eatery is pretty popular, so we usually have to spend some time waiting upon arrival. Don’t forget to grab one of their famous ice creams served in coconut shells to end your meal perfectly!
36. Punjab Grill

Cuisine type: North Indian, Punjabi
If you’re looking to savor traditional North Indian cuisine, you’ve got to try the famous butter chicken and naan that every food blogger raves about. I highly recommend checking out Punjab Grill in Select Citywalk Mall for that. Do try their kulhad meat curry and Karachi chargha if you want to taste mouth-watering non-vegetarian dishes. Aside from North Indian delicacies, this restaurant serves some of the finest biryani and kebabs as well as a refreshing selection of mocktails.
This spot is pretty popular, so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time.
Dig in!
Delhi has a lot to offer when it comes to food choices, and Delhiites are known to be friendly, fun-loving people. The crowd is great, the food is amazing, and the nightlife is awesome. While this list is not exhaustive, we have pretty much covered the grounds when it comes to the food scene in the capital.
Tip from Trip101 local expert
If you wish to try some street foods but from more hygienic places, visit renowned restaurant chains such as Haldiram's and Bikanervala. These well-known establishments are popular for their Indian sweets, and snacks, as well as North and South Indian cuisine. They serve as reliable choices when you're uncertain about where to try out lip-smacking and hygienic meals.
Tip from Trip101 local expert
If you're wandering through Delhi and hunger strikes, let me steer you straight to Hudson Lane. My ultimate pick there is Ricos – it's a comfy place with an attractive ambiance and food that's just divine. They're open from 11 in the morning until 11 at night, making it ideal for any meal. Plus, Hudson Lane is a treasure trove of culinary treats, so after Ricos, keep exploring; every cafe and restaurant has its own charm.
