Bukhara in the Maurya Sheraton, is widely known
as the best place for Mughal and North-West Frontier
specialties in Delhi. The food is delicious and lives
up to its reputation– one highly recommended dish

makes a splendid addition to any meal. Customers sit
on benches, at stylish low tables. The restaurant is
very busy but still, the service is excellent. |

| Spice
Route |
Price:
Rs1300. Beer: Rs220 |
| The
Spice Route in The
Imperial hotel offers high-quality Thai and South
Asian food, in a restaurant adorned with antique, gaudily
painted wooden pillars and panels. Even if the food
were not delicious– crisp, spicy and fresh –
it would still be worth eating here for the atmosphere
alone. The tangy piquant vegetables stews, and oriental
salads are particularly recommended. |
