Indian restaurants in Delhi

This carnivore's delight has been serving tandoori and kebabs since 1913. The manager's great-grandfather cooked in the kitchens of Mughal palaces, then taught his sons. In its four rooms opposite the Jama Masjid (Great Mosque), diners feast on tandoori raan (mutton leg), chicken burra and lamb sheek kebabs. A meal comes to about 200 rupees (HK$34) a head - not bad for a taste of royalty (Jama Masjid, Delhi 110 006, tel: 91 11 2326 9880, www.karimhoteldelhi.com).

This place offers the finest Kashmiri food in Delhi, and since its opening in 1990 has opened a branch in London's upmarket Mayfair.

If it's good enough for Bill Clinton, it's good enough for us.
