Delhi’s Gourmet Secrets

Being a complete foodie, I was blessed to be here. I can’t live my life out of having air. I need good delicious mouth smacking foods. And honestly I prefer Deshi traditional foods over any junk stuff. Some times my friends pull my legs telling me if it could have been possible I will prefer lassi to Cola even in PVR.

But I don’t mind because they are true mindless freaks. As I was telling you get whatever food you like. Delhi cuisine is known for its variety and spice. Starting from the Punjabi 'Chhole-Bhature', sarson ka saag, Makke di roti, ‘Korma’, 'Kababs', and 'Biriyanis' to south Indian Idli Dosa, Uttapam- you name it you will have it in here.

If you are a devoted foodie, then I can tell you some real good places which you won’t wanna miss for anything. For non-veggies, 'Karim's' in Old Delhi, NFC’s Al Beg are the most coveted destinations. If haven't had Al Beg's 'shorma' yet, that means you haven't tested heaven. Don't forget to try the mouth-watering 'Paranthas' of 'Paranthe wali gali' in Chandni Chowk. For Paranthas another popular joint is Tanku’s near IIT. Udupi, Sarvana Bhavan and Sagar Ratna, Haldiram’s and Bikaner Group offers light and tasty veg foods. Even I like roadside 'Dhabas', eateries, snack counters- which offer wide varieties of delectable cuisines. Papri, Bhalle-Papri, Aloo Tikiki, Gol Gappe, etc. are all-time favorites of mine.

For the sweet dish, (of course being a Bengali) I can vouch for Bengali sweets. Especially 'Roshogullahs' and 'Sandesh', are most palatable for me. You can easily get best of these yummiest sweets in Rasharaj in CR Park Market-2.

But in case, even after reading all this I cant take you in my side. And still you are more of my friends’ kind then you can always satisfy your gluttony with KFC, Mc Donalds, Nirulas and Wimpys, which you can find here almost in every knock and corner of the city.
