    Where
    C-2, Main Market, Block C, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi 110057

    The chilli chicken here is properly hot, closer to Sichuan than to the usual Chinjabi sweetness; take it with the chopsuey. The room in Prithviraj Market is small, so expect a wait.

    Greater Kailash II South Delhi

    Open
    Noon to 11.30pm daily
    Where
    M-34, Ground Floor, M Block Market, Greater Kailash II, New Delhi 110048

    Chilli chicken with chopsuey, and a talumein soup to start. The cooking is old-school Chinjabi rather than modern Chinese, so do not come looking for dim sum, and portions run large.

    Ask for the honey chilli chicken, sweeter and more Thai-leaning than a classic dry version, with the red curry beside it. Seating in the Greater Kailash II room is limited, so go early.
