The 38 Best Restaurants in New Delhi - Eater
"Categorical is one of many gems in Humayunpur serving Manipuri food from the hilly state in Northeast India. The restaurant’s unstoppable young chefs are helping to change the discourse around foods typically excluded from sweeping notions of Indian cuisine, serving dishes like fish-head curry, ametpa (chutney made with fermented fish and Naga king chiles, aka ghost peppers), sweets made from black rice, fragrant duck curry, and the region’s special red tea. The eco thalis include tastes of the restaurant’s best dishes, with a main fish, meat, or vegetable selection alongside a filling mound of sweet, sticky Manipuri rice. Try the atingba, rice beer traditional in many tribes in Manipur. The version at Categorical is sweet and light. [$]" - Sharanya Deepak
