Punjabi chhole bhature, bhel puri and pav bhaji from Mumbai, puchka and jhal muri from Kolkata and chaat from Delhi can be easily found on the streets.
My favourite meals in New Delhi:

Bhatura chana at Embassy or Kwality in Connaught Place
Amritsari lassi in Dariba Kalan, Old Delhi
Chaat in Sunder Nagar—safe and tasty!
Moti Mahal Greater Kailash I for classic North Indian—don’t forget to order the butter chicken

Order food from Old Delhi: Because admit it, that’s why you’re in Delhi. Titled Delhi 6, this special delivery service will send over food that the walled city is famous for. The menu is divided into ‘From The Khansama’, which gets dishes from famous Old Delhi cooks; ‘HomeMade Delicacies’ that relies on a network of housewives; and ‘For The Maniacs’, where you ask them to get you a particular dish and they source and send it to you. Get the hari mirch keema with khameeri roti.
Smitten Bakery & Patisserie: Everyone must be trying to keep this Delhi’s best kept secret because they’d like to keep those chocolate sea salt caramel cupcakes for themselves. While you’ll have to go pick up your order, the effort is worth it for the incredible baked goods and the company Smitten’s quirky, adorable proprietor and baker extraordinaire, Mandakini Gupta.
Kuremal Mohanlal Kulfiwale in Old Delhi. The family has been making kulfi for over a century, and trying out their mango and jamun frozen treats verifies why they’re still so popular. The kulfis are served as fillings in whole fruits; delicious and unusual.
