Seasonal ingredients and unexpected flavor combinations update Indian classics and form new ones altogether, making the flagship eatery at the Park Hotel a real standout. Recent stunners included a savory banana stem salad (it uses all parts of the fruit) and a surprisingly light, tomato-infused dal (stewed lentils). Regional classics with a twist, such as the fiery hot chicken chettinad from Tamil Nadu, are menu mainstays and consistently delicious. A vegetarian or non-vegeterian taster's menu lets you sample the season's goods. It will cost you roughly 50% more than ordering individual dishes, but foodies will find it well worth it. The carefully chosen wine list here a winner and the service staff is knowledgable enough to make informed recommendations, a rarity in Delhi. Expect unsolicited inquiries to be met with a haughty raise of the eyebrow.
