Best North Indian Restaurants In Mumbai For All Homesick Dilli-wallahs

Tripoto

The Mumbai - Delhi debate is one that has been going on since forever and will continue.

However, there's one point where Delhi always takes the lead – food. I have lived both in Delhi and Mumbai and I have no shame in saying it out aloud, Delhi's food is miles ahead of Mumbai.

Sorry Mumbai but your vada paos and sev puris are no match for our butter chicken and paneer tikkas! So if you're a homesick North Indian who's completely done with eating paos, you've landed at the right place.

Here are the best North Indian restaurants in Mumbai that will transport you back to the food haven that is Delhi:
