Tip from Trip101 local expert
Whenever I'm in the mindset for some wonderful Chinese food, my feet automatically guide me towards Berco's in Connaught Place. It's my go-to because they've really got the flavors down pat. Sitting there, encircled by the buzz of Delhi, while exploring some of their signature dishes, is an experience I always enjoy. Sure, it's a bit on the pricier side, but for the quality and the vibe, it's totally worth it.
