At LBB, we are always looking for folks who are on top of discovering the best of the best local finds. And more-so because we like making friends who add to our directory of places to visit in Delhi and maybe, make plans with them too (which actually make it out of the group chat). 

Recently, we've been craving some airy, velvety hummus, mezze, and delectable shawarmas that hit the mark when those mid day hunger pangs strike. So, we asked an expert who knows the best eateries in Delhi on the tip of her fingers— Anahita Dhondy, chef, author and consultant of the The Parsi Kitchen for her recommendations and here's what she shared.

Cafe Mez

Anahita says, 'I love everything Chef Megha makes. The pide pie is to die for and the only worth it one in the town'. If you haven't been to Cafe Mez in CyberHub yet then you are definitely missing out on some serious Lebanese food. The menu is quite extensive and always comes through when you are craving mezze or other Lebanese delights.

Mezze Mambo

'Another one by Chef Megha Kohli and her team. The travelers series dips are really good! This is Delhi's version of Cafe Mez. Don’t miss the fresh pita and pide', says Anahita. Mezze Mambo has caused quite the stir in Delhi in the past year and we are also quite impressed by the fascinating cocktails they seem to have, a perfect spot for casual date night scenes with impressive Lebanese food.

Took-The Olive Oil Kitchen

'This is a delivery place in my mind, possibly the best delivery shawarma/spicy shawarma out there. Their toum is something to write home about. They make it in an XL size so the shawarma is just legendary. The falafel wrap is also soft and melt in the mouth.' Okay, now we know exactly what we need to order for our next in-office lunch.

Al Bake

'For old school shawarma, this is a very personal choice and describes Delhi's love with the mayo shawarma. There's also a spot called Spice Aangan which is equally good, but Al bake will always be king of the Delhi shawarma with mayo'. Al Bake's shawarmas always hit hard and are the perfect pick-me-up when you want to eat something light but filling.

Tahini By Enoki

'I love their dips and rolls. It’s a lux ordering place. It’s great, clean and has very spot on packaging with good food.' Tahini By Enoki is the brainchild of the same folks that own Enoki, which is also our favourite late night sushi spot so it only makes sense that their Lebanese outlet will be equally nice.

Tahir Sultan

'100% recommend for parties! The dips are epic. You have to have his Muhammara, never had better' say Anahita rather enthusiastically. Okay, so Tahir Sultan's food is an iykyk thing in Delhi, only those who know the in and outs of the Delhi food and catering scene know the magic that happens here. If you want authentic Lebanese, Persian and Gulf food that will stay on your mind rent-free, simply order for your home!

Syrah

Anahita recommends this place for when you want to indulge. She says, 'I remember their kebabs and breads to be fabulous.' Well, Syrah in Hyatt is one of our favourite bougie restaurants in the capital and always worth the buck! The food, the blue interiors, the hospitality and the vibe of the place during the night is spectacular!

Kunafa

Anahita says, 'Again, I’ve only ordered their dips and shawarma. Possibly the most sophisticated without any extras.' Additionally, their baklava always hits the ball out of the park so make sure you order it when you visit or even order home. They have two outlets in Delhi currently in MG Road and Meharchand Market so you can conveniently order mezze platters and more from them for your next house party.
