BEST INDIAN CUISINE

Bukhara, ITC Maurya, A Luxury Collection Hotel, New Delhi

One of the few things that makes Bukhara the rightful recipient of this award is a menu that has remained unchanged since 1978. At this premier restaurant, the past comes alive through flavourful dishes from the North-West Frontier of India. Its mouth-watering selection of kebabs, tandoori, tikkas, and the famed dal bukhara, has won the restaurant many accolades, both in India and around the world, making it a legendary dining destination. Round off your meal here with a creamy kulfi or rasmalai. itchotels.com
