Best restaurants in Delhi

Gulati on Pandara Road is a long-standing restaurant that people overwhelmingly recommend for Punjabi-style butter chicken; one calls it the best in Delhi after trying many others, and another possibly the best in India. Others praise the wider Mughlai and North Indian menu, one singling out the burra kebab. The caveats: some visitors found it pricey for what you get or the taste merely average, some prefer Havemore's less sweet version nearby, one insists Pandara Road doesn't serve the real butter chicken, and one says it isn't worth a two-hour wait.

• RecommendsAmong Delhi restaurants visited so far, food never went wrong.
• CaveatSays it's nothing special, mostly name and ambience, not worth a two-hour wait.

A South Indian chain with a strong following in Delhi, especially at its Connaught Place and Janpath branches. People single out the ghee roast dosa, idli, sambar sadam, mini tiffin and filter coffee, and several call it very authentic, though one notes that dishes have been adjusted for the Delhi palate. The caveats: some say quality has slipped, some call the food overrated, one finds the sambar too sweet, one calls it the worst Tamil food they've had, and the popular CP branch can have a queue.

• RecommendsA devoted fan who especially loves the ghee roast masala dosa here.

Carnatic Cafe in Meharchand Market, Lodhi Colony, is frequently recommended in Delhi South Indian food discussions, with most commenters praising it. At the Lodhi outlet specifically, one commenter recommends the masala dosa, and a reply suggests trying the neer dosa there. Chain-level praise, not tied to verified visits at this branch, includes a dosa called the Malleshwaram 18th Cross. Individual criticisms exist: one commenter finds the food too oily, another says it is too sweet, one calls it overpriced relative to the value received, one says serving sizes are too low, and one reports poor service across all outlets. Overall sentiment remains strongly positive.

• RecommendsSays these two are the only right choices for dosa.
• CaveatSays their food is too sweet.

Swagath draws recommendations for South Indian food: one diner at the Defence Colony branch calls it a strong option and suggests the chicken stew with appam or Malabari parotta. Others single out the chicken Chettinad and a slightly sweeter, UK-style butter chicken, and one lists it among Delhi's places for Kerala food.

Chicken Inn on Pandara Road comes up repeatedly when people ask about butter chicken, grouped with nearby favourites Gulati and Havemore; one describes its version as rich, sweet and very buttery, and another puts it on par with those two. One commenter who went now and then between 2016 and 2022, usually late at night, mainly praised the breads and found it pricey, though delivery-app deals help.

Loya, the fine dining restaurant at the Taj Palace in Chanakyapuri, comes up as a solid option. One commenter who had a full non-veg meal there found the food pretty good, another would pick it over Havemore or Gulati, and one says it stays free of the influencer crowds found elsewhere.

• RecommendsSays other same-tier restaurants like Loya do a better job.

A solid pick with branches at Select Citywalk and Vegas Mall; one puts its butter chicken above Gulati's, another found the Citywalk branch classy with decent, enjoyable food if not life-changing.

• RecommendsPrefers Punjab Grill's butter chicken over Gulati's version.
