Here are the 10 best fine-dining restaurants in India

North campus area of <keyword id="6360099" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Delhi-University">Delhi University</keyword> is witness to numerous of cafes and pubs opening doors and closing down in few months. However the one we went recently will stand the test of time. The assurance of such claim is guaranteed by the café’s pricing of the dishes and ambience. Being a students’ area, pricing is always the driving force behind success of these cafés. 
 After a horrible Uber ride, we reached Mama’s <keyword id="4067531" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="buoi">Buoi</keyword>. The spelling of the name being too trendy keeping the students in mind, we had a tough time figuring out it on <keyword id="6355629" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Google">Google</keyword> Map. And let’s tell you in the beginning; it’s not exactly where Google Map points. It’s some 300 metres ahead. If the Map says you have reached, don’t trust it and keep moving ahead and take a left turn. Almost 200 metre ahead, you will find Mama’s Buoi on left. 
 
As you enter the place, you will be welcomed by the high pitched music playing by. And once you settle yourself, be assured, you will be having one of the best meals in Delhi’s northern part. This café serve incredible Seesha or hookah starting at Rs 499. Try from Farzi, Ek Number and Panga. 
 Décor is reminiscent of your hostel days. Most of the props here are from a student’s life. However the other part is like any other regular pub in South or <keyword id="65637" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="West-delhi">West Delhi</keyword>. There’s a terrace seating facility as well. If you get a place, prefer seating on the top terrace and enjoy the beauty of the fragmentally lit city. 
 For starters we ordered Mezzeh platter, Ghost burgers, <keyword id="176668" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hunan">Hunan</keyword> fish and Crispy Conjee Lamb. The succulent lamb meat melts in mouth. You need to try the Ghost Burgers at your own risk. The patty is wet with Ghost chilli sauce and gives you a high with every bite. 
The Wild Pizza is a mid-courser. The fully loaded pizza with chunks of meat gives you a mouthful of flavour. Adding to it is the magic of thin crust, my personal favourite. 
 
 
 
For the main course, we stuck to traditional. The fish and chips were regular. The basa fillet used in it had nothing wow factor in it. However the steak was uniquely delicious. It was evident that lamb steak cooked in pepper and mushroom sauce has an Indian hand behind. Smoky Sizzlers was another value addition. When you get a non veg sizzler for Rs 359, you know it’s going to be legendary. And yes it was. 
We ended the long gastronomic sojourn with a combination of rich chocolate cake and vanilla lovingly named ‘Death by chocolate.’

<ul><li>About half a million restaurants in India are at the brink of collapse after India extended its lockdown for another 19 days. </li><li>As many as 7.3 million jobs are at risk, reported the Indian Express. </li><li>Most of these restaurants said that they exhausted their cash after paying full salaries to employees in March. </li></ul>All those dreaming of rushing to their favourite restaurants right after lockdown ends, well, might not be able to. That’s because as many as half a million restaurants might not survive the extended <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/coronavirus/coronavirus-lockdown-covid-19-india-economy-jobs-6364568/">lockdown, says an Indian Express report</a>. Few restaurants will be able to make it through the 40 day shutdown with salaries, costs and overheads. This will, in turn, put 7.3 million jobs on risk. A large number of restaurants say they have already exhausted their cash after paying full salaries to employees in March. Waiting for the government to announce some relief Strict social distancing norms that could remain in vogue for months is also likely to affect restaurants. Their only hope is a possible relief package from the government. The worst affected would be the high-end restaurants. “For premium restaurants, it will take a long time to get back their clientele since foreign travellers form a major chunk of their diners. As a company, if we have to sustain, we have to move towards delivery,” Zorawar Kalra, who manages 25 restaurants including Farzi cafe said. However, these restaurants might not make as much as they can’t charge for a premium dining experience. According to Katriar of deGustibus Hospitality, the margins for deliveries are very low. On April 9, the National Restaurant Association of India urged NITI Aayog to take urgent measures to help marginal employees. They wanted them to offer unemployment cover or 50% salary and ration. The body is yet to take a decision on the request. “One thing is for sure, the industry will take a lot of time to get back on its feet. Many companies will never recover from the losses of the lockdown period,” Anurag Katria, president National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) told the Indian Express.
