Anyone who has ever been to Delhi would agree to the fact that the city is a paradise for food lovers. From traditional north Indian recipes, the classic south Indian delights, and the Himalayan cuisine to the northeastern dishes, cheesy American fast food, and European desserts, food is for Delhi what books are for bibliophiles. Even though Delhi is teeming with diversity, one thing that remains common among people from all walks of life is their need for pocket-friendly food. It’s not that we don’t believe in enjoying a lavish meal every now and then, but we like to keep it simple most of the times.

When it comes to food, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It sets the tone for the day and gives us the energy to start our engines so that we keep running all day. For a city that never sleeps, it’s safe to say that Delhi has something for everyone, even for the early risers.

So if you want to begin your day with a scrumptious meal, here are a few options that you can consider:

This place is famous for the one dish that every ‘Dilli wala‘ loves to munch on– Chole Bhature. The giant bhaturas are served with lip-smacking chole that are too good to ignore and green chutney, and pickle. What adds to the entire meal is the amazing lassi that is loaded with cream. Now, all that’s left to add to platter are some jalebis.
