Q What was the thought behind putting the specialities of the capital's various neighbourhoods on the Dhilli menu? 

Delhi is the self-proclaimed foodie capital of India. But, apart from a few pop-ups doing Dehlvi cuisine, there was not even one restaurant representing all the different foods of Delhi. Dhilli is one of the lesser-known ancient names of Delhi, and that's what our heart settled on. And what better home for it than The Oberoi, New Delhi, in the heart of the city?
