We came here for lunch and I really loved the yellowtail carpaccio, forest mushrooms with asparagus and thyme, and the Mexican bowl with rice, spicy beans, roasted peppers, guacamole and lettuce (skip the tortilla). Public Affair – Located in Khan Market, this restaurant offers a mix of Japanese and Peruvian dishes. One of the things I loved about India, was that I could find foods other than Indian. This is a more formal dining experience with beautiful table clothes and place settings. Spice Route – The Lodhi hotel’s South East Asian restaurant. I highly recommend the antipasti of grilled vegetables, minestrone soup, fresh baked flat bread, beetroot tartare, eggplant parmesan and grilled sea bass. Michelin Chef Adriano Baldassarre prepares beautiful Italian dishes and this place is always packed! Make sure to book in advance. Perbacco – An Italian restaurant located at the Lodhi Hotel. I recommend the pulled pork tacos, chicken meatballs with truffle butter, paneer with coriander pesto, and the puréed spinach with corn vegetable dish. Indian Accent – Rated the best Indian restaurants in all of India and it’s located at the Lodhi Hotel. One being a traditional fine dining Indian cuisine, and the other being the famous Megu Japanese restaurant. This time of year (Christmas) they have the lobby decorated with beautiful trees and a life-size ginger bread house. The Leela Palace – Such a beautiful hotel with a more Palace feel. This was by far one of the best services I have ever had in a hotel. From the minute my grandma fell and broke her foot, until our departure, they looked after us as if we were royalty. The staff was absolutely lovely! They sent me a welcome chocolate cake that had the Healthy with Nedi logo + a photo of me, and it actually tasted divine. The hotel has several restaurants, two of which I loved and will cover below. Our suite came with an outdoor poor which was stunning but we didn’t get a chance to enjoy it due to the bad air quality. The Lodhi Hotel – We stayed here and really enjoyed the hotel. The Imperial India – 5 star hotel that is very central in New Delhi and to the business district. Many people wear masks but I still didn’t find it made a difference. The air quality is very poor and unhealthy, making it difficult to breath. There are some great restaurants and beautiful hotels but I wouldn’t recommend spending more than two days in the city. ![]() We were planning on staying in Delhi for one day but since the incident happened we had to extend due to doctors orders. On the first day of arrival, my dear grandma slipped in the hotel bathroom and broke her ankle. Our trip to Delhi turned out to be much different than we planned. There is an Indian restaurant and a more continental restaurant where we had one of the best Cacio e Pepe spaghetti with truffle! It was worth every bite! Upon checking into our room, I discovered over 20 mosquitoes (due to the balcony) and they immediately upgraded us to a suite that didn’t have a balcony, nor mosquitos! The manager provided a wheelchair and someone from the staff was always available to help us get around the hotel. My grandma and I arrived there the day she broke her ankle and they made sure our stay was comfortable and perfect. The staff is extremely friendly and super thoughtful. There are beautiful traditional Indian dances performed in the gardens at sunset before dinner. The hotel gardens are stunning and each guest room/suite offers views of the Taj Mahal. The Oberoi Amarvilas – The best hotel to stay while in Agra. It’s very sad leaving the resort because you will see people sleeping on the streets, cows and monkeys waking by them and that’s so unfortunate. The drive is less than five minutes long. Don’t take a boat, the river doesn’t smell great and there are too many mosquitos. Make sure to book a guide who can meet you in the lobby of the hotel and take you to there by golf cart. ![]() We got there around 6:45am and it was pretty packed. Early sunrise is the best time to see the Taj as many people go and it’s the least crowded. There is nothing to see in the city besides the Taj Mahal so I recommend arriving in the afternoon and checking out the following morning. AgraĪgra is a one day trip and you can get there by taking a 3 hour car ride from Delhi. I hope to return one day to visit those cities. Udaipur and Mumbai were on my list, but unfortunately I had to cancel that part of the trip. Jaipur was absolutely my favorite and you can read about my stay in Jaipur here. India has been on my bucket list for a long time and I am so glad I can finally cross that off! It is a magical place to see.
