Where To Eat On Business Travel To New Delhi

Cosmopolitan New Delhi has no shortage of excellent restaurants catering to every taste. You just have to know where to look.

Why You Don't Want To Try That Street Vendor Or "Local" Restaurant

In cities like New York, Paris, and London, virtually any restaurant is going to offer food in a safe, clean environment. This is not necessarily true of New Delhi.

Although travel here offers rewarding business opportunities, the economy and level of development in this city does not yet match what is expected in the West. There are people in the city who are very poor, and the majority of street vendors and restaurants offering food at unbelievable prices are catering to those individuals.

When you are seeking a restaurant, the best idea is to ask your concierge or 24-hour butler, depending on the quality of hotel you choose. They will know the area, and can recommend one to you.

Of course, never trust a restaurant simply on recommendation. If it looks unclean or poorly maintained, it almost certainly is. New Delhi restaurant code is still something of a novelty, and can be poorly enforced. Never risk sacrificing your health and productivity on the trip for a chance to save some money on a cheap meal.

The Best (And Most Convenient) Restaurants Are Right In Your Hotel

New Delhi business travel hotels tend to also have the nicest restaurants. Many of these restaurants are 24 hours, and if they aren't, room service generally is.

If you have chosen a business travel hotel, you will certainly have options that are guaranteed to be clean, safe, and often quite good. The best hotels pride themselves on their travel accommodations, and in New Delhi that includes the food.

Don't be surprised if your New Delhi business partners take you to dinner at a restaurant inside a business travel hotel -- these establishments offer the most reliably high quality food in the city.

Native New Delhi businesspeople are a common sight at the hotel restaurants and bars even when they are not entertaining foreign business travel clients.
