For those who crave the diverse flavours of Delhi but can’t traverse every street in search of its iconic eats, there’s good news. Crowne Plaza New Delhi Mayur Vihar is bringing the city's beloved street food under one roof with the second season of Zaiqa-e-Dilli. Hosted at Infinity, the hotel’s signature dining destination, this immersive food festival celebrates Delhi’s rich culinary heritage. This year’s theme, Khat – A Culinary Love Letter to Dilwalo Ki Dilli, beautifully captures the nostalgia and deep connection Delhiites share with their favourite street fare.
Bringing the essence of Old Delhi’s bustling lanes and modern food hubs to one place, Zaiqa-e-Dilli is a celebration of the city’s food culture. Each dish served reflects Delhi’s history, emotions, and vibrant community, creating an experience that connects guests to cherished culinary traditions.
To ensure authenticity, Executive Chef Roushan Sharma and his team collaborated with Namastey Culture. From the bustling streets of Jama Masjid and Daryaganj to Connaught Place and Lajpat Nagar, the team meticulously researched and recreated the most celebrated dishes from the city’s renowned vendors. Their journey led them to iconic eateries such as Aslam’s Butter Chicken, Kuremal’s Kulfi, Jain Fruit Sandwich, and Lotan Ke Chole Kulche, among many others.
Guests can savour over 100 signature dishes on a cyclic menu featuring names such as Lotan Ke Chole Kulche and Sanjay Kumar Daulat Ki Chaat, prepared by the original vendors. Other highlights include specialities from Chandni Chowk’s Paranthe Wali Gali, Rajma Chawal from Connaught Place, Ram Ladoo from Lajpat Nagar, and Chicken Changezi from Jama Masjid.
The festival also features live street food counters, where hawkers serve Bunta, Chuski, Bhel Puri, and handcrafted ice creams.
