Delhi's food landscape is very rich and vibrant as is. The capital city has much to offer to connoisseurs of all kinds of foods, drinks and global as well as desi cuisines. Perhaps there's a bit too much competition posed by restaurants, cafes and pubs, in a city where even hole-in-the-wall eateries pull huge crowds. Delhiites love food and we're willing to experiment with our tastes as well, but with the city milling with umpteen restaurants and more opening every other week, it's difficult to decide which places are our favourites. However, we make the job easier for you, by bringing you new and attention-worthy restaurants every month.
Here are five new restaurants in Delhi and NCR that you must check out this month:
1. Tanoshii Trail
Sushi lovers in town have a new place to head to, with Tanoshii Trail in Greater Kailash. With aesthetic décor inspired from Asian countries, Tanoshii is a haven for authentic flavours from Japan, China, Thailand and Malaysia. They have plenty of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians and even have a conveyor belt that delivers food straight from the kitchen to the customers' tables. The concept is fresh and the food is hearty and delicious. They also serve some innovative mocktails, including a signature non-alcoholic beer.

2. Olly
Olive's All Day Café in Gurgaon is pulling huge crowds in CyberHub, all thanks to its vast menu and youthful vibe. The food is delicious and the ambience is just perfect for an informal and relaxed Sunday brunch with friends or family. The menu, designed by seasoned chef Jyotika Malik, encourages you to experiment with tastes and flavours, without intimidating you. The food here is always the focus, but the ambience is what will probably make you keep coming back to Olly.
