Delhi is the capital of the Indian subcontinent for many reasons, one of the main reasons being the food culture and diversity. Delhvi Cuisine has fan followings throughout the world. The Delhvi cuisine has influences from the Northern part of the country, mainly, but one would find its roots in other parts of the country as well! The food in this city borrows some of its charm from almost all parts of the country.
From Chole Bature which is a staple in Punjab, to Rolls from West Bengal, to the authentic dishes from the South including Dosas and Idlis. Delhi is extremely famous for their chaats and the Mughlai cuisine which have been running through the bloods of Delhi households ever since the Delhi Sultanate days.
Delhi food is quite spicy and tangy, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have sweet dishes at all! From Barfis to sinful Gulab Jamuns, Firnis, or the refreshing lassis, the list can go on for pages. There are road side shops to soothe the tangy side of the tongue, there are age old restaurants which attract locals for their high-quality Mughlai food, they have shops in every nook and corner. Being the capital city, there are a large number of posh and modern-day restaurants which have been springing up in leaps and bounds over the past few decades.

To quote Executive Sous-Chef of Delhi Pavilion, Chef Kusha Mathur from an interview “There are marked differences in Delhi’s non-vegetarian spread. Delhi’s Nihari, for instance, is more reddish-orange as compared to Awadh’s lighter and slightly yellower variant. So, the difference persisted and evolved over the years and became unique to Delhi.” True that the Delhiites love their non vegetarian dishes a tad bit more than their vegetarian dishes, there are a lot of elite vegetarian families in Delhi as well. So, at no point shall one live under the false impression that there is a dearth of vegetarian food in Delhi.
Once in Delhi, you’ll be tempted to come back again and again solely for their rich food culture.
