Let's catch up. It's been long- perhaps a most used term for many of us. And the top venue for such meet-ups is often an eatery. In the past couple of years, there has been a steady rise in the trend of dining out to bond with friends and family. No wonder experiential dining has transformed the food scene by giving multisensory experiences to patrons. Responding to it, eateries across the country are either going through a complete makeover, bringing the needed revamp, or launching thematic food spots breaking away from conventional diner concepts. And the capital city of Delhi is witnessing it most closely. So, if you want to meet up with your foodie buddies, then scroll down to pick your hangout place in Delhi.
