  • 1. Chor Bizarre

    $ | Old Delhi

    Delhi's best-known Kashmiri restaurant is also one of its most beautiful, an art deco enclave with a tile floor, a spiral staircase leading nowhere, and antique furniture and mirrors from various chor ("thieves'") bazaars. Kashmiri food, which is milder than many Indian regional cuisines, is exemplified by mutton yakhni (in a sauce of yogurt, cardamom, and aniseed) and mutton mirchi korma (in cardamom and clove gravy).

    Like the nawabi (princely) culture from which it's drawn, this restaurant has a food selection and style that are subtle and refined.

    A Delhi summer isn't complete without one of the famous kulfis—the frozen milk–based treats similar to ice cream made here.
