Kebabs in Delhi - For the Connoisseur

One of the peaks of Indian cooking is the Kebabs - and Delhi is the
easiest place to sample them, a variety of them.Kebabs owe their
origin to the North Western province of India. Delhi is the capital of
Kebabs now. There is something about eating a kebab in Delhi - topped
with desi flavours, ready to melt in your mouth, lip smacking, spiced
up, sweet lemon droppings, careless onion rings and tongue biting -
twitching green chutney.We mention few joints where you can sample
them:Karim's Jama Masjid:Arguably the best destination in Delhi to
sample authentic kebabs. The setting cannot be better. Smack in the
Muslim part of old Delhi, just off the magnificent Jama Masjid.
Ideally, visit for dinner. This way you can absorb the local
atmosphere. This establishment dates back to 1913. Open all days of
week. Easy on your pocket as well.Khan Chacha, Khan Market:This is a
small place, located in a heritage market near the Lodhi Gardens. Very
delicious kebabs here.Al Kauser, R K Puram:Rivalling Delhi for kebabs
is another town Lucknow. Lucknow's most famous export Kakori Kebabs
are found here. Must visit. The kebabs, wrapped in Roomali roti are
absolutely divine.Colonel's kebabs:Located in Defence colony, the
kebab offerings here are just awesome. They have done and continue to
do something different than the traditional kebab shops. They have an
innovative menu.Bukhara, Maurya Sheraton:This is a posh place. The
celebrity A list dines here. Bill Clinton has endorsed it. Expensive.
Famous. Figures in guide books as a must visit. Famous for Murgh Malai
Kebab. The menu is limited but both sufficient and fulfilling. A
specialty of theirs is the super sized Naan. Worth the experience.The
Great Kebab Factory, Sector 18, Noida:The Great Kebab Factory brought
in an innovation in the kebab serving establishments. The factory
(restaurant) serves hundreds of varied kebabs, very beautiful to look
at and simply delicious. The price is fixed, you can eat as much as
you want. Try the galauti kebabs and the rotis prepared on inverted
tawa.Chor Bizarre, Hotel Broadway, Asaf Ali Road:This is a must visit
restaurant. Not only the kebabs but for other items on the menu as
well. They specialize in Kashmiri food and are located in old Delhi.
They have a bar as well. Every item on the menu is recommended. They
have a branch in London as well. Try the Mirchi Korma, Gustaba,
Suffiani Machhi, Gazab ka Tikka, Galauti Kebabs.Nizam's Connaught
Place:Located in the heart of city, easily accessible, this itself is
enough for the place with a nawabi history. Primarily for
non-vegetarian eaters, do try the aromatic Kathi Kebabs, Biryani and
roasted Kebabs.
