Top 5 restaurants to visit in Delhi during Common wealth games event

Delhi is famous for it's rich North Indian cuisine and its restaurants have come up with some creative ways of presenting it. There are outstanding places to eat in Delhi to suit all budgets, from fine dining to cheap local eateries. Check out an interesting review done by indiamarks


Here's the Top 5 Best Restaurants in New Delhi:

1) Bukhara

In the 20-plus years since this restaurant opened its doors, it has become legendary. The cuisine is traditional "Northwestern Frontier" Indian, which is a style that focuses on meats cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor. Order any item on the menu and you can't go wrong. Bukhara has a string of awards to its name, including being voted "Best Indian Restaurant in the World" and "Best Restaurant in Asia" by the Restaurant Magazine in the UK. It's known for its rustic atmosphere, unforgettable kababs, and huge family size naan bread. Be sure to make a reservation.

2) Chor Bizarre

The name of this restaurant means "thieves' market," and the mish-mash of nostalgic décor and furnishings echoes the sentiment. You might dine on an old sewing table or sit in mismatched chairs. The salad bar used to be a 50s vintage Fiat. Don't let the fun decorations distract you from your wonderful meal. The menu features the best cuisine from India's northern Kashmir region and is good value for money. This style of cooking tends to be a bit milder than much of Indian cooking. Try the lamb meatballs flavored with cardamom or the mutton stewed in yogurt, cardamom and anise. Several sampler platters are available if you can't decide on just one entrée.

3) Karim's

Established in 1913, Karim's is something of a Delhi institution. It serves robust Mughal food in rudimentary but clean surroundings off a courtyard that is close behind Jama Masjid in Old Delhi. The decor of this restaurant is nothing much to look at, but the food more than makes up for it. Delhi-ites and visitors in the know come here for the mutton. The meat is available in a variety of sweet or savory gravies. Other delicious meals include the lamb stuffed with chicken, rice, eggs and fruit, and the fresh, hot curries. No matter what you order, be sure to get some homemade bread on the side. No credit cards. Casual attire.

4) Masala Art

Masala Art is a classy and modern restaurant that specializes in traditional cuisines from northern India, with a contemporary twist. Its innovative menu and chef's cooking displays are sure to get the taste buds interested. You'll also find an impressive and reasonably priced wine list, with over 400 varieties on offer.

5) Punjabi By Nature

The multi-level Punjabi By Nature is a hip and elegant place, with waiters clad in traditional Punjabi attire. It's known for its unique creation of vodka gol gappas -- fried crispy shells filled with flavored vodka and other spices. The food is excellent, servings are generous, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. There's also a bar on the upper floor. You can combine dining with shopping, as the restaurant is located in an enticing and stylish shopping complex.
