Top 5 eat outs in DELHI

If you've got cash to splash, 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

The popular Karim Hotel is now in its fourth generation of management, having been established in its current location in 1913. The decor of this restaurant is nothing much to look at, but the food more than makes up for it. Karim Hotel offers inexpensive Mughal style cooking at its best. Its location in Old Delhi also provides a fascinating insight into a side of Delhi that many visitors don't get to see.

Veda is one restaurant that will really grab your attention. Everything flickers and shimmers. Candles, mirrors, chandeliers, and embellished glasswork dome. All set against rich deep red velvet curtains and bricks. The menu marries traditional and contemporary Indian cuisine. What's also attractive is the restaurant's wine list and central New Delhi location.
                             
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.
                       



Chor Bizarre aims to capture the spirit of a 'thieves market', found in every large Indian city. The restaurant contains an eclectic collection of items that exude an old-world ambiance. It's a place that awakens curiosity and provides for an interesting dining experience. The menu features the best cuisine from India's northern Kashmir region and is good value for money. Lunch combined with a guided Delhi walking tour is also offered.

VISITING INDIA FIRST TIME




India is a diverse country. Visiting for the first time can be big surprise for tourists. Some key points to consider before visiting India.

1.       Season: If you are planning to visit India in summer, the temperature can go up to 48C. Make sure to take an umbrella and enough sunscream. In winters, the temperature can go as low as 0C. But, it gets very foggy in north India during winters making it hard to travel.

2.       Know about the city: Make sure you research about the city you are visiting. Every city is very different from each other.

3.       Be ready to get surprised: Local people will stare at you. The solution is get used to it. Or think of yourself as celebrity. Other point to consider is always bargain with everyone because they will always try to rip you off. For example, if a retailer charges $100 for a shirt, you should try to convince him for $20.

4.       Book a renowned Hotel: Most important consideration. Make sure you read some reviews on trip advisor or other websites before booking it. Some cheap hotels can be very dodgy.

5.       And, yes the food is spicy. Make sure you tell the chef you want really mild.

 

Hopefully, you will enjoy India.
