Delhi is renowned for its tandoori or barbecued meats and fish, as well as the rich Mughlai cuisine, which also goes by the name of "North Indian Food". Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer and Daal Makhni are signature dishes. Apart from this, its cosmopolitan character ensures that all other cuisines including Chinese, Continental, Iralian and Thai, as well as fast foods are commonly available.
A wide range of acommodation is available in this city ranging from the International standard 5-star hotels, to medium range hotels, right down to budget guest houses that have mushroomed all over the city especially near the airport and railway stations.
Note :
01. Always drink mineral water and check that the bottle is sealed on buying.

03. Avoid all touts and agents; book through approved tourist agencies.
04. Look after your bags and purses particularly in crowded areas. Do not carry large amounts of cash with you, credit cards are accepted in most stores these days and are safer to carry.
