Delhi is a paradise for food lovers, offering a diverse array of culinary delights that reflect its rich cultural heritage. Here are some must-try local dishes and drinks:
Paranthas are a type of Indian flatbread, stuffed with a variety of fillings like potatoes, cauliflower, or paneer (cottage cheese). They are best enjoyed hot, straight from the griddle, often served with butter, curd, or pickles.
Chaat, a popular street food, is a combination of potato pieces, crispy fried bread, gram, and tangy-salty spices. The various types of chaat, like Aloo Chaat and Golgappa, are a treat for your taste buds.
Butter Chicken, originally from Delhi, features tender chicken cooked in a creamy tomato sauce. It's mildly spicy and rich in flavor, often eaten with naan or rice.
Chole Bhature is a combination of spicy chickpeas (chole) and deep-fried bread (bhature). It's a hearty meal, favored for breakfast or lunch.
Delhi offers a variety of kebabs, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Seekh kebabs and Shami kebabs are particularly popular.
Biryani, this fragrant rice dish is cooked with spices, meat (usually chicken or mutton), and sometimes vegetables. Each bite is a blend of flavors and aromas.
For desserts, do try the Jalebi (a sweet made by deep-frying wheat-flour batter and soaking it in sugar syrup) and Kulfi (a dense, creamy ice cream).
As for drinks, Lassi (a yogurt-based drink) is a refreshing choice, especially during the hotter months. For tea lovers, Masala Chai, spiced with cardamom and ginger, is a must.

Transportation and getting around the city
Landing in Delhi, you've got a few options to get from the airport to the city. The most convenient is the Delhi Airport Metro Express. It's quick and connects you to the heart of the city. Taxis are available too, but make sure to use the prepaid taxi booths inside the airport for a hassle-free experience.
Once you're in the city, the Delhi Metro is your best bet for getting around. It's efficient, affordable, and covers most of the city. For shorter distances, auto-rickshaws are a fun and economical choice, just remember to negotiate the fare before hopping in.
For those who prefer the comfort of a taxi, app-based services like Ola and Uber are widely available and quite reliable. They're a good option, especially in the evenings or if you're traveling in a group.
Delhi is also home to some lovely walking-friendly areas. The neighborhoods of Old Delhi, especially around Chandni Chowk, and the area around Connaught Place are great for exploring on foot. You'll get to experience the city's vibrant street life up close.
If you're interested in a more structured sightseeing experience, consider hopping on a tour bus. The 'Ho-Ho' (Hop-On Hop-Off) bus service is popular among tourists. You can get tickets online or at major tourist spots like India Gate or Connaught Place. These buses take you to all the major attractions and you can hop on and off as you please.
Remember, navigating Delhi can be a bit overwhelming at first, but it's all part of the adventure. Enjoy your time exploring!
