Most Iconic Eateries Every Delhiite Have Loved And Worth The Hype To Be Known For Generations!

What’s that one thing that Delhi is famous for? If you were about to say food, then we say, you’re ABSOLUTELY right ‘cause when it comes to food, there’s no other place like Delhi and we’re super duper proud of this. But what makes us fall in love with this place, even more, is the fact that even with a gazillion new places popping up every day, Dilliwalas still scamper over to the oldies. If you, too, find yourself gorging on Sita Ram’s Chole Bhature or mutton from Karim’s, then this list is tailor-made for you!

1. Wenger’s
