Juicy, fork-tender, charred, flavourful. If that’s how you like your food, a good ol’ barbeque is something right up your alley. And if you’re wondering where you can get some barbeque in Delhi, we’ve got you covered! By Anushka Goel
A barbeque (barbecue, BBQ or even barbie in some places) is used to describe a style of cooking that uses live fire, smoke and heat over a grill (mostly). The method has variations across the globe, but the result is the same — succulent, charred pieces of meat that break apart with the slightest touch of a fork and veggies that pack the perfect flavour of the smoke from the coals, capturing the tastiest notes of the marinades and sauces used in its crevices.
Barbeque nights are fun ways to bond with your loved ones, especially if you have a space like a lawn or a balcony where you can host these parties. However, if this is not possible, you can still enjoy a delicious barbeque meal in Delhi at these restaurants that make all your grilled meat and veg dreams come true.
So, check out these restaurants in Delhi that serve up the most amazing grills across cuisines — be it tandoori meats, grilled chicken, barbeque artisanal meats or veggies cooked over live coal.
