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.

Dum Pukht
This restaurant delivers a royal (皇室的) dining experience. It has a 200-year-old technique of slow roasting in sealed pots over a very low flame. This allows the meat to cook in its own juices. As you can imagine, it’s a non-vegetarian’s delight!

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!
Eat slowly and relish the flavors of your meal. You might want to eat as quickly as possible so you can leave, especially if you’re feeling self-conscious about eating alone.

Nowadays, a great number of people, especial young people, enjoy order meals online. It’s not surprised. First, as the pace of modern life is becoming faster and faster, people have less time to cook even one meal for them. Second, the development of technology brought us smart phones and new apps, what may lead to the increase in online service. Therefore, we should pay more attention to food. As it is known to all, our health is closely related to what we eat. Although the service provides us with convenience, we must take the food safe into consideration. Home-made food is cleaner and healthier, so I prefer cook food at home rather than order meals online.
