The 38 Best Restaurants in New Delhi - Eater

"When the Dalai Lama fled Tibet for India in 1959, Tibetan immigrants followed, bringing along momos, the stuffed, steamed dumplings that have since become one of Delhi’s most popular street snacks. Nepali vendors sell them by the roadside all over the city, but you can also find them in the Majnu Ka Tilla area, home to some of Delhi’s Tibetan community. Near the neighborhood monastery, you’ll find a stall selling laphing, a flat, translucent pancake stuffed with soybeans and tossed with red chile paste and green onions. Then hop to the Himalayan, a beloved restaurant that serves all kinds of momos and other Tibetan favorites like shabaley (large, deep-fried, savory stuffed pastries), tingmo (yeasty bread shaped like a mountain and eaten with tea or stewed meats), and a cold beer. For tea and cake, head to the small AMA cafe, which is popular among students. Ask your taxi to drop you on the side of the monastery and then walk down the only lane to find the stalls and restaurants. [$]" - Sharanya Deepak
