About Delhi
City overview
Delhi is a Yamuna River metropolis where Old Delhi's Shahjahanabad lanes, British-planned New Delhi, and South Delhi's older sultanate sites sit in one National Capital Territory. The Red Fort, Connaught Place, Mehrauli, Nizamuddin, and Akshardham form a city map built by at least eight historic settlements.
Food & drink
Delhi is a street-food and north-Indian restaurant city: parathas in Paranthe Wali Gali, chaat around Bengali Market and Chawri Bazaar, kebabs near Jama Masjid, chole bhature in Karol Bagh, and butter chicken or dal makhani across New Delhi menus. Prices can stay low if you eat in markets rather than hotel restaurants, although Connaught Place and Khan Market push costs toward Mumbai levels. The regional fact is that Punjabi, Mughlai, Bengali CR Park, and Old Delhi Muslim cooking all operate as distinct food maps inside the same Metro system.
