2. The Mughal’s Dastarkhwan, Lalbagh
Want to feel and dine like royalty? There's no better place than Dastarkhwan. It is an ultimate paradise for any food lover. Butter Chicken is one of their signature dishes that people come to gorge on from faraway places. The chicken is cooked to perfection in a flavourful spice-mix which is thick and yummylicious. When paired with naan, it is possibly the most effective form of anaesthesia. Trust me!
