FESTIVALS & EVENTS
We all know that Delhi is a foodie's paradise. But one of the best times to taste the specialties of this culinary jannat is during Ramadan. Having been a food aficionado for years, here are my top recommendations for the best places, restaurants and dishes to eat in Delhi during Ramadan:
After a memorable cultural and spiritual moment at the Jama Masjid at the time of Iftar, head to Al Jawahar for
some delicious chicken dishes. Apart from the ones listed above, my favourite during a recent visit was the Egg Curry.
You could go to the Karim's close to Jama Masjid as well, but I recommend this not just for its Chicken Stew
but also for the divine qawwali sessions at the Dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddi every Thursday. And don't leave without
trying the delicious Phirni!
Synonymous with some really great cheap shopping options, Chandni Chowk is also filled with some of the best eateries.
Vegetarians don't despair!Head to Kake Di Hatti for some of the best Soya Chaps and Dal Makhani.
Sadar Bazaar is famous for its chicken dishes and Biryani. Head to Anmol Chicken Corner & Al. Khatir Restaurant
for some really tasty delicacies.
This evergreen eating hub is an all-time favourite even at the time of Ramadan. Try the many varieties of
butter dripping paranthas at Babu Ram Paranthe Wale. My personal recommendations are the Paneer,
Gobhi and Aloo-Pyaaz Paranthas.
A favourite with the Jamia crowd, Purani Dilli Restaurant in Okhla is a real treat to the taste buds. Go for the
Chicken-Achari or the Nihari here.
For those who can't find the time to go to Old Delhi, head to good old Khan Chacha for their signature lip-smacking rolls and kebabs. Do try the Mutton Burra or the Fish Tikka.
