No matter how much you may dig your share of pastas or burgers, after a certain time one always comes back to their good old curries. There is nothing more comforting then diving into a bowl of luscious curry with a piece of buttery naan. New Delhi is famously dotted with some of the best curry houses in the nation. Gourmets pop in from all over the country to sample the city’s renowned butter chicken or paneer butter masala. After all, this is what New Delhi is so popular for, wholesome North Indian food. To truly relish delights of Northern India, no place is better than ‘Pind Balluchi’. This classic 90’s fine dining addition bought to the city a wind of rustic Punjab and with it a burst of vibrancy.
