Nine days of no alcohol, meat, onion, and well, a bunch of other things during Navratri (from April 13 to April 22) can be difficult. To make things easier though, we've found five restaurants in Delhi NCR that are doing stellar Navratri thalis and special menus that you can get delivered to your home.
Happy feasting (& fasting)!
