Quotes
Time Out
The publication that produced the annual global neighbourhood ranking
“Today, it just so happens that one of Delhi's strongest regional communities is behind its hippest place to shop and eat. Fifty-odd kitchens serve North India's best Naga thalis, Korean ramen, seafood boils and Tibetan momos, sharing space with skincare counters, sick streetwear racks, karaoke spots, tattoo parlours and photo booths – plus grocery stores stocked with choice Asian ingredients and the city's best Northeastern alcohol.”

“Walk around aimlessly; cool stuff will practically throw itself at you, from streetside photobooths to tucked-away izakayas, perfect for a pre-dinner drink. Grab kimbap at Teyy's, then bibimbap and soju at Kori's, where you can finish off with a private karaoke sesh. You might even spot a community-led exhibition right outside.”
