1 . If you love fine dining, Delhi is an excellent place to taste the best Indian food. Here are the four top restaurants in India.
Bukhara
Bukhara is probably the most famous restaurant in India. It’s got an extensive string of awards to its name. There’s plenty of hype (促销广告) surrounding this restaurant. Above all, the US presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have dined there.

2 . Dining alone is becoming more common, and there’s absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about if you want to take yourself out for a nice meal! Eating a meal on your own simply shows that you’re comfortable with yourself and confident that you’ll enjoy your own company.
Sit on the patio when the weather is nice to enjoy the fresh air. Being alone on the patio is also a way to feel less conspicuous if you’re a little nervous dining alone. Just think of how many times you’ve passed a cafe and seen a solo diner reading their book and enjoying a lunchtime break!
