Pray allow us a moment of indulgence, for it is with the greatest delight that we present to you this 2026 edition of Delhiites Magazine an ode, if you will, to the city’s most splendid indulgences in food, festivity, and after-dark allure. The Delhiites Food and Nightlife Awards return this year in finer form than ever before, brimming with spectacle, spirit, and no small measure of drama. And what a night it was. Graced by the irrepressible charm of Ssumier Pasricha and the effortless elegance of Mini Dewan, the evening unfolded with a rhythm most delightful equal parts wit, glamour, and celebration. One could hardly ignore the extraordinary enthusiasm of our dear Delhiites, whose record-breaking votes in several key categories made their voices heard louder than ever before. Truly, the love for this platform grows richer with each passing year. Yet, what makes this chapter particularly enchanting is the arrival of the new. A spirited wave of emerging restaurateurs, daring club owners, and curators of the city’s most intriguing speakeasies have stepped into the spotlight, bringing with them fresh ideas and undeniable energy. Alongside them stand the grandees of the industry those who have not merely endured but flourished continuing to elevate their craft with innovation and quiet brilliance. Amongst the evening’s most distinguished honours, we celebrated the incomparable Manish Mehrotra, whose legacy as the visionary behind Indian Accent earned him the coveted title of Restaurateur of the Year. A recognition most deserved, for a chef whose work has long redefined the very language of modern Indian cuisine. From daring new concepts to the graceful reinvention of classics, this year’s winners and nominees compose a narrative as vibrant as the city itself one that continues to shape how Delhi dines, drinks, and delights in its many pleasures.
