Starting off with an iconic dessert, we have Burnt Basque Cheesecake! Though this is not your classic cheesecake, this is the Creme Brulee Basque cheesecake at Cultured Delhi. This creamy dreamy sugary dessert is what makes sweet tooths tick! The classic Burnt Basque Cheesecake is dusted with sugar and then caramelized to give that iconic crack like the creme brulee!

Who knew thecha and avocado could be BFFs? Throw in a crispy papad and boom, Delhi meets Goa! It's creamy, crunchy, and has that chilli hit that'll make your nose tingle in the best way possible. Definitely not your average plate!

3. Pineapple Picante At Camillo's Pizzeria

Camillo’s Pineapple Tartare is not your basic Hawaiian slice, it's a burst of so many flavours (much like our beloved golgappa). This pineapple Tartare deserves its own moment for sure because it’ll make you drool, smile, lick your fingers in public. No shame here!

4. Butter Chicken Stuffed Kulcha At Punjab Grill 

This is not food. This is a religious experience. Picture a kulcha absolutely stuffed with creamy butter chicken; sounds unreal right?. It’s definitely real and viral for a reason- it’s messy, buttery, oh-so-indulgent, and makes you question why you've ever settled for anything less than this.

5. Mutton Galouti Sliders At Pot Pot 

These Mutton Galouti Sliders are soft, rich, and unnecessarily luxurious. While the mutton is cadbury silk smooth, it is snuggled inside a saffron brioche (because normal buns are for amateurs). This is not just a snack, it’s an experience, and we know you can’t wait to try it out. Handle with caution and napkins!

Who knew kebabs and tacos were a match made in gourmet heaven? These Kebab Kakori Tacos are so juicy they practically whisper sweet nothings to your soul.

7. Podi Spiced Tuna Sushi At Addonis

This is a rep image

This isn’t a meal, it’s a Netflix crossover episode. Addonis in Green Park is doing something crazy in the kitchen and we couldn’t be happier. Say hello to Podi Spiced Tuna Sushi (mind=blown)! There’s ghee, there’s masala and there’s sushi- making you feel like for one second you’re in South India and the next in Tokyo. Head over here ASAP because we guarantee you’ll be wiping your mouth with a smile that says “ye toh crazy ho gaya!”.

8. Kimchi Kulcha At Canvas Kitchen 

If you’re someone who eats Kimchi with daal chawal, then this awesome place in Delhi is meant for you. This gem is serving combinations like Kimchi Pizza and Kimchi Eggplant (crazy!!). While these are great, the Kimchi Cheese Kulcha is a gamechanger. Representing Seoul & India in one place with vegan and plant based food, who wouldn’t want to go here.

9. Jalebi Sandwich At Indy By Qla

What in the sweet, syrupy chaos is this?! A jalebi sandwiched between layers of cream and carbs because why the hell not. This Jalebi Sandwich is crunchy, gooey, sitting on top of creamy ice cream is totally soul satisfying (aap try karne ke liye convince ho gaye ya hum aur bole?). While your dietician will disown you, but your soul will thrive, honey.

10. Kunafa Dosa With Pistachio Cream And Chocolate At The Yummy Dosa

Okay but who told dosa to  be this extra? This is giving South Indian meets Middle Eastern in a full glam moment—giving birth to a kunafa-style crunch, pistachio cream that tastes like rich NRI dreams, and a chocolate drizzle that deserves its own reel. Forget sambhar, we’re living in a dessert dosa multiverse now.
