Naivedyam

Although this quiet restaurant in South Delhi's fashionable Hauz Khas Village serves superb South Indian food, it's the ambiance that really sets Naivedyam apart. (Its dark, elegant interiors feature long wooden tables and frescoes of Indian mythological scenes.) Try the Maharaja Thali—a resplendent sampler of curries, breads, rice dishes, and dessert items, all served on a banana leaf-lined platter.
