The 38 Best Restaurants in New Delhi, India | Eater

"Price Range: $$$ Delhi’s drinking culture has a long way to go, despite the city’s reputation for having India’s most devout party people. Bars are mostly expensive and gimmicky, while informal ones can be difficult to get to and from and often only accessible to men. That’s mainly why drinking with friends often takes place in restaurants that have a liquor license and serve Indian Chinese food. Nagaland’s Kitchen is not an Indo Chinese restaurant but has popular snacks from the cuisine on the menu as well as Naga snacks, which take everything up a notch. The restaurant, located in an old Delhi marketplace, retains a comfortable, well-lit atmosphere, and has a loyal clientele that makes this feel like a neighborhood bar. Here, get a Chinese or Nepalese starter (the Himalayan momos are especially good), but also dishes like pork ribs, smoked Naga chicken, and chicken wings with Raja Mircha (ghost chile pepper). Know before you go: As of late, the restaurant also has Thai food and a wine menu, plush offerings in Delhi but at affordable prices here." - Sharanya Deepak
