Véda Review

Designed by iconic fashion guru Rohit Bal, this centrally located restaurant is a place to see and be seen. The interior space has a dreamlike elegance -- a careful balance of baroque fantasy and contemporary appeal -- that feels light-years away from the chaos of Connaught Place just outside. It's garnered plenty of accolades but these are more for its fashionable status than for the cuisine, which is nothing exceptional. Nevertheless, you could do worse than to order one of the seven-course tasting menus. Alternatively, try the lamb Véda special, an unusual combination of lamb on the bone and minced lamb, or have the highly recommended Parsi sea bass (paatra ni machi). Dishes are generally spiced to suit an international palate, so you'll need to ask if you want the heat turned up. Oh, and plan on serious contemplation of the wine offerings.

Chor Bizarre Review

A fantasy of kitsch twisted into a unique space that is more irreverent museum than restaurant, Chor Bizarre (a pun on chor bazaar, literally "thieves' market") lives up to its name. It's packed with fascinating odds and ends (matchboxes, coins, chessboards, antique combs, ivory sandals, jewelry, chandeliers, a jukebox) and out-of-place furnishings (one table was previously a maharaja's bed, while a 1927 vintage Fiat has become the buffet-carrying "Chaat mobile"). This has to be one of India's most visually dynamic restaurants, a branch of which is now also open in London. Start with deep-fried lotus roots, prepared Kashmiri-style, and move on to kakori kebab, lamb marinated in 36 different spices and grilled in a tandoor, or cardamom-flavored lamb meatballs (goshtaba). Or order the Kashmiri tarami (thali), filled with treats and served from a traditional royal platter. (Tip: Avoid their extremely dull walking tour-cum-lunch package)

Punjabi by Nature Review

This is one of Delhi's best-regarded Punjabi restaurants (now a reliable chain); at the Basant Lok venue there are two floors for diners, and a pub upstairs, all a mere 10 minutes' drive west of Haus Khas Village (or 15 min. from Safdarjung's tomb, the Hyatt Regency, or the Santushti Shopping Complex. Ask for a table by the atmospheric display kitchen. Try masala quail (bataear masaledar) or fresh tandoori pomfret, and take heed of the wine suggestions. The staff is particularly proud of the raan-e-Punjab, marinated whole leg of lamb cooked in the tandoor -- you're served the tender meat as it literally falls off the bone. If you're adventurous, arrive for happy hour (4-8pm) and try the house specialty, a "golguppa" shot: a tiny puri (fried puffed bread) filled with spicy vodka, which you pop into your mouth whole
