If you're a food lover, enjoy trying out new places, or find yourself gravitating towards iconic restaurants, here’s the only list you need for the best and most reliable spots. From cafes and bars to iconic restaurants, as part of LBB's 2024 Mega List, here are the 50 best restaurants in Delhi NCR, where you're guaranteed to have a great time.

Shang Palace

We recently tried the new menu at Shang Palace, the opulent Cantonese restaurant at Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, and it's safe to say that it ranks first on our list of the best meals we've had in Delhi recently. The Chicken Xia Long Bao and Baked Eggplant Puff have been living rent-free in our minds, and not to start a debate, but we may have discovered a new personal favourite over their famous roast duck—the Cantonese BBQ Platter, which includes Char Siu Chicken, Honey Glazed BBQ Pork and Crispy Pork Belly, all cooked to perfection!

Must-Try: Cantonese BBQ Platter, Chicken Xia Long Bao, Baked Eggplant Puff, Hong Shao Rou and Shang Palace Dessert Sampler

LBB Tip: You can also book yourselves a traditional Chinese tea ceremony at Shang Palace. This curated tea experience will undoubtedly add depth and tradition to your visit, whether you are a casual sipper or a tea connoisseur.

Bhawan

Offering the best of North and South Indian food, Bhawan in Gurgaon boasts great service, good music, and an elaborate menu. What we really love here, though, is the street food. From the usual chaat and samosas to corn bhel and vada pav, there are surprises like bacon kachori and varqi lukhmi — crisp puff pastry patties filled with spicy chicken mince.

Masters at making their own fresh, artisanal pastas and serving the best European truffles, this place has our heart.

We still remember questioning the samosa soup at Burma Burma when we first sat down to order. Since then, the restaurant has become one of our favourites, and samosa soup has become our comfort dish.

Staying true to their USP, the menu features only pizza (and salads), with a sans-cheese option for vegans. The place also serves a good selection of beers and wines. Dedicated to dogs, the walls are adorned with love for them. You'll often see strays flocking to the Vasant Vihar location for their daily dose of fresh food.

Perch

It’s never not a good time at Perch. The smell of fresh, handmade pasta, sangria and coffee martinis being poured, and the chatter of old friends catching up at their usual spot.

Kylin

If you have a bias for pan-Asian food, add Kylin to the list of restaurants you must visit. While it’s priced a bit on the higher-end side, the experience more than makes up for it. The house cocktails are well-made and potent, the menu caters to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, and they have a live Teppanyaki grill for those who enjoy watching their food being prepared right in front of them.

While this place doesn't serve sushi, the menu includes soups, salads, baos, ramen, dim sums, noodles, Thai curry, and more—all of which are super fresh and flavourful!

Carnatic Cafe

South Indian food isn't something we usually opt for, but whenever we do, it's at Carnatic Cafe. Their dosas are on point, vadas are crisp, and idlis are as soft as we'd imagine clouds to be. The value-for-money price point is an added bonus as well. They are usually packed on weekends, so do make a note of that before heading over.

A delicious blend of South Indian cuisine paired with a lively atmosphere, Juggernaut has three locations in Delhi.

Inja is an experimental fine-dining restaurant that has definitely left a mark on Delhi. It’s a fusion of Indian and Japanese cuisine—two cuisines we thoroughly enjoy but never would have thought to combine. The brainchild of Chef Adwait Anantwar, who clearly knows what he’s doing, each dish has the perfect balance of flavours and surprisingly makes sense. The food we had here honestly lives rent-free in our brains.

Khan Chacha

Kebabs hold a special place in all of our hearts, and no one does them better than Khan Chacha. A spot older than time, Khan Chacha’s outlets are peppered throughout Delhi NCR. You’ll find them outside malls, metro stations, and even popular markets. Not to be dramatic, but their galouti and kakori kebabs are to die for and come pretty close to Lucknow’s kebabs. Tucked neatly in a soft rumali roti, Khan Chacha will always have our heart.

The Big Chill Cafe

We don’t think calling Big Chill an institution is an overstatement—it’s almost qualifies as comfort food at this point.

Kamei

Truth be told, our friends who have dined at this tastefully swanky Asian restaurant at the Eldeco Center can’t stop talking about it because the food is just that good (according to them), and the vibe of the space makes you feel like you’re dining at a posh restaurant in Dubai.

We have another favourite at Priya Market for amazing cocktails and even better Japanese fare.

Timings: 12 PM – 1 AM

Indy is a recent addition to our list of great Indian restaurants in the capital, but one we are excited about and look forward to revisiting for its elevated twist on the cuisine. Indy made us realise how there was a gap for an elevated Indian restaurant in Delhi and how seamlessly it has filled that void. Also, the biryani here doesn’t disappoint, so definitely consider ordering it when you visit!

We can’t wait to be back at Dos for those irresistible croissant bun burgers (yes, they really exist) and some of the best pasta we've had in Delhi.

Bukhara

An OG, some might say it’s overrated, but we simply love the restaurant for the consistent quality, taste, and nostalgia it serves. While dal Bukhara and that gigantic family naan are items you’ll spot at every table when dining at Bukhara, it’s the tandoori tikkas we can’t get enough of—and we won’t stop wiping off a serving or two on our own.

Sevilla

Probably one of the most romantic restaurants in the capital, Sevilla is perfect for special occasions or when you want to pamper your SO with a lovely dinner date, though it is quite pricey. Private canopies, ample candles, and dim lighting set the mood for any romance, and they offer one of the best Italian food menus in the capital.

Adrift Kaya

David Myers, the Michelin-starred chef and owner of Adrift Kaya in the JW Marriott Hotel, takes pride in the authenticity his Japanese restaurant offers, and rightfully so. The food menu is impressive, particularly the selection of sushi and sashimi. This isn’t your typical casual sushi restaurant; instead, it’s an izakaya-inspired (which translates to ‘stay-drink-place’ in Japanese) upbeat restaurant-bar where you can grab a drink, settle in, and relax while enjoying gorgeous Japanese food.

Must-Try: Sushi, Fried Chicken Karage, Truffled Mushroom and Tofu Gyoza and Yaki Udon.

Zomato Rating: 4.2/5

Zuru Zuru

Team LBB is borderline obsessed with Zuru Zuru. Don’t be fooled by the small dining space of this cute ramen restaurant in Shahpur Jat, because the flavours they serve are BIG and bold. Their rich broth, hand-pulled noodles, and perfectly soft-boiled egg live rent-free in our dreams. Reservations are a must here since they have limited seating, and they might charge a small advance to block your spot, which will later be adjusted in your bill. 

Must-Try: Ramen, donburi 

Zomato Rating: 3.7/5

Timings: 1 PM  – 4 PM, 7 PM – 10:30 PM

Price For Two: INR 2,000 (approx)

You should definitely bookmark Anardana for hearty dinners with the fam because the warm ambiance and aesthetic of the place give you those perfect post-sunset dining vibes. They serve some of the best North Indian food, especially the dal makhani, which is the key to our heart. The service is impeccable, and for the price, the portion sizes are more than generous!
