Restaurants in Delhi
Delhi has a wealth of fantastic restaurants to suit all budgets and palates. Alcohol is available at most places although budget eateries tend to lack the requisite liquor licence. The price of alcohol is variable, with high-end restaurants charging as much as triple the price of a mid-range eatery. Indian wine does exist, although it is still something of an acquired taste. Indian beer is excellent, but insist on a well-chilled bottle!
The Delhi restaurants below have been hand-picked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over Rs2,500)
Moderate (Rs1,000 to Rs2,500)
Cheap (up to Rs1,000)
These Delhi restaurant prices are the cost of a meal for two with wine or beer (where sold), including taxes.
Bukhara
Price:
Expensive
Cuisine:
North Indian
Bukhara is widely touted as the best place in Delhi for North-West Frontier cuisine. Particularly good are its tandoor and dhal as well as the kastoori kebab. The ambience is suitably rustic, while the clientele are decidedly more fashion conscious (despite the bib-like aprons patrons are provided with). If you’re with a large group, get the giant naan.

Indian

Kwality
Price:
Moderate
Cuisine:
North Indian
This iconic Delhi restaurant has been going strong for around 60 years, thanks to its consistently good, primarily north Indian food. Attracting a predominantly middle-class crowd, Kwality deserves kudos for its variety of dishes, from chunky meat curries to delicate paneer creations. There is a pleasing variety of veg and non-veg dishes to choose from. One standout is the chana bhatura.

Karim's
Price:
Cheap
Cuisine:
Mughal
Established in 1913, Karim's is something of a Delhi institution. It serves robust (mostly non-veg) Mughal food in rudimentary but clean surroundings off a courtyard near Jama Masjid in Old Delhi. The tandoori chicken and tandoori burra (mutton) both come highly recommended, as do the juicy kebabs. The selection of traditional Indian breads, from stuffed naan to paper-thin romali roti provides the perfect accompaniment. During Ramadan, the restaurant is only open after sunset.

Delhi,
India

Nizam’s Kathi Kabab

Hotel Saravana Bhavan
Price:
Cheap
Cuisine:
South Indian
One of the few places in Delhi to get authentic South Indian fare – including idly, uttapam, dosai and gulab jamun – Saravana Bhavan is so wildly popular that you may have to wait for a table. We’re guessing you’ll find it worth the wait.
