The original home of butter chicken and dal makhani, this Old Delhi institution has been feeding Delhiites since the 1950s. The smoky, creamy butter chicken here is the benchmark against which all others are judged. The interiors are dated but that is part of the charm. Go for the classics and skip the newer menu additions.
