Frommer's Review

A regular winner of India's Tourism Award for the country's best restaurant, Park Balluchi enjoys a magical setting on the grounds of Delhi's leafy Deer Park, in Hauz Khas. Turbaned waiters in waistcoats and long shirts serve an extensive range of kebabs and spicy tandoor items. For some light drama, order Afghani-style murgh-potli (tandoori chicken): chicken breast stuffed with minced mutton and served over a flaming sword. The specialty at Balluchi is the dohra kebab, a unique combination of two meats. Vegetarians should order mewa paneer tukra, Indian cottage cheese stuffed with raisins, sultanas, walnuts, and other nuts; preparation of this dish takes at least 12 hours. Be sure to get a side order of peshawri naan, bread cooked in the tandoor oven with poppy seeds and coriander leaves. As you eat, you will likely catch a glimpse of scampering rabbits or strutting peacocks, making this an ideal lunch venue.
