Delhi is the capital of India and along with that, there’s so much more to the city that can’t even be described with the mere use of words. Yes, it’s true. Ask anyone and you’ll understand what we’re trying to say.
Along with having a rich cultural history and architectural wonders that can take anyone’s breath away. Delhi is also famous for its food and history related to it. There’s a reason why Delhi is also known as the food capital of India, because of how readily good food is available to people in this city.
From authentic Mughlai to authentic Chinese, one can taste almost everything they want, over here.
However, that’s not all we will be talking about today. There are certain joints in Delhi that have existed for more than hundreds of years and are a staple in almost every Delhiites food walk. These joints offer some of the best food in the world and there’s absolutely nothing that can even be compared to them.
We have compiled 30 things that one needs to eat in Delhi before they take their last breaths in the city. They’re so good and so delicious, plus with them, you’ll be eating a part of Delhi and its culture. Nothing can actually top that. Check them all out here:
