Exotic Cuisines that are Popular in Delhi

There are few moments of dilemma that can almost cause a family or a group of friends to break apart and choosing a restaurant to go to is one of them. Although going to a restaurant is one of the first things to come to mind when going out. But it is the selecting, over where the group will be eating, that it really comes down to. Thankfully with food courts and multi-cuisine restaurants, a group or family can easily go to either one place and each individual can order according to their preference. It also needs to be noted of how integral restaurants are to people, in that they allow a place to celebrate or just spend some time together along with good environment and delicious food.

Now, coming to food, for Indians there are a few select cuisines that will win over any other cuisine any time of the day. The first being Indian, that includes both north and south, Chinese and Italian. These three cuisines are some of the most popular in the city of Delhi and can be found in any type of restaurant, be it a fine dining one or a roadside stall.

However in the past year or so, there has been a massive influx of restaurants whether domestic or international, that are offering a more varied palate of dishes. These restaurants are catching the attention of people all over the city for their interesting and unique menu and food. Where people might have their favourites, but the need to explore and try something fresh is what is making these restaurants and the cuisines they offer popular.

The general public too is receiving these restaurants with a lot of warmth and interest. They are excited about consuming cuisines that were up until a while ago, foreign to them. And restaurant owners in India and abroad too want to explore through these as yet left untouched market.

One might be able to find burgers in Delhi with an alarming ease. But when wanting to try something different, one can try out these exotic cuisines:

1.    Mexican:
After perhaps the intercontinental and American cuisine, the one that has gotten the most love from the people is that of the Mexican cuisine. There are several reasons for this, one being that it is quite close to the Indian cuisine itself with its spices and ingredients they use. It is perfect for the taste buds of Indians who are accustomed to loads of flavours and spices in their food.

2.    Thai:
Before globalization, everything from the eastern part of Asia was deemed as Chinese. However, that perception is slowly changing and people are coming to realise that Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese are quite different in their tastes and preparations. Thai though is sort of the Chinese for the elite, and one can easily find restaurants that are introducing Thai to the public.


3.    European:
The traditional European cuisine is also something that is finding many takers in Delhi. One can easily find a good restaurant in Hauz Khas, Saket and other areas of Delhi that serve good European dishes.
