Delhi's boiling summer months are upon us, and it's time for us to turn to our favourite refreshing summer drinks to get all kinds of emotional support to deal with it. Although we have an arms-length list of go-to's, lassi, a yogurt-based drink with a smoothie-like consistency, is the OG summer refresher that comes on top for us. It is the ultimate desi drink, can be flavoured according to your preferences, and always hits the right spot. We know Delhi takes its food very seriously but drinks all the more; here are the eight best lassi places in Delhi.
The OG Summer Drink: 8 Best Lassi Spots To Beat The Heat In Delhi
Burfiwala
Extensively popular amongst West Delhi folks, Burfiwala serves astronomical lassi that will keep you wanting more. They have a couple of outlets across NCR, which are always packed with people, especially on the weekends. The ambience of their main location in Mundka is low-key and traditional, and their lassis come in a long kulhad (earthen pot) topped with thick cream and some dry fruits. It tastes excellent and is a pretty heavy drink, but absolutely worth it. We also recommend checking out their barfis, which are as good and will have you hooked.

Bille Di Hatti
If you have studied at North Campus, then this place needs no introduction. Bille Di Hatti is the OG eatery in Kamala Nagar, renowned for its meethi lassi. Every dish is jam-packed with amazing flavours, and we definitely recommend coming here during the winter season to have their lassi and chole bhature. The prices are great, and it's the ideal spot for a hearty breakfast with your squad.

Chandni Chowk cannot be missed if the conversation revolves around Delhi and food. Meghraj & Sons is our absolute favourite when it comes to the best lassi place recommendations in Old Delhi. They are famous for their sweets, selling four kinds of halwa, which has people lining up all year around, but their lassis are equally impressive and worth a trip. The place offers four kinds: namkeen, malai, rose, and kesar, and all of them are a treat that makes all the hassle of navigating through the bustling lanes of Chandani Chowk absolutely worth it.

Their lassis are light, fresh, and nothing short of perfect.
