Delhi is a foodie’s paradise. Everything from North Indian to South Indian to Chinese dish is prepared in its own Dilliwala way and that is probably the reason why streets are always abuzz with food and the aroma of food unique to each location.
Here is a list of some places where you would find the best vegetarian dishes and each place has its own special dish 🙂
Peeli Dal at Shakahari, Chawri Bazar: Making good peeli dal is an art, but these guys excel in it, though the one at Karim’s is also to die for.
Bedmi Aloo near Naugarha, Chandni Chowk: If waking up early in the morning and having your breakfast beside an open drain is your idea of fun, this is an experience you can’t miss.
Aloo Tikki at Natraj Cafe, Chandni Chowk: The tangy tikkis served in a pool of creamy dahi and a medley of chutneys are enough to make you ignore the elbow power of passers-by.
Papri Chaat outside UPSC Building, Shahjahan Road: You may have had chaat all over, but this one has something that makes even your crashing dream of entering babudom seem fine.
Poori Aloo of Ramchand, Chhota Bazar, Shahdara: The pooris don’t get soggy because they are made with sooji and the aloo ki sabzi is drenched in imli chutney.
Chhole Bhature at Odeon Sweets, Bhagat Singh Marg, Gole Market: Some people get very possessive about their favourite chhole bhature place. Our cholesterol-laden heart beats for this one.
Set Dosa at Sagar, Defence Colony Market: You may keep complaining about the how Sagar has become a sprawling corporate enterprise, but certain favourites remain as good as they were.
Rice with Gunpowder & Ghee, Andhra Bhawan: This dish is a must-try, even for those on a no-carb diet. The combination of rice, spicy gunpowder, and rich ghee creates a flavorful experience. Before you leave, be sure to purchase a bottle of gunpowder and gongura pickles from the stall outside.
Bisi Bele Bhath, Karnataka Food Centre, Karnataka Sangha, Rao Tula Ram Marg: This hearty, soul-warming vegetarian dish is so delicious that it might inspire you to plan a trip to Udupi. It is a perfect representation of Karnataka’s culinary tradition.
Veggie Cutlets at Coffee Home, Baba Kharak Singh Marg: These indulgent, oil-soaked cutlets are a popular treat. However, they may become a rarity if the High Court decides to close the Coffee Home. It’s a taste worth experiencing before it possibly disappears.
