Romanticized with Durga Puja, singhadas and all things Bengali, Chittaranjan Park – aka CR Park – is easily Delhi’s own little City Of Joy. Apart from a huge fish market and street food hub, the place is also home to some exemplary eateries. Here are some of our favorites.

It is hard to believe that this small eatery dishes out the best Bengali food in Delhi. They have a very small dine-in space and dhaba like ambience and also offer home delivery. You must try their Doi Mach and Chingri Malai Curry.

2. Jana

Grab a quick bite at Jana, the North Indian and Biryani place situated in the CR Park market. The place is a cozy nook so you might consider takeaway. Either way, you are in for a luscious treat complete with aromatic biryanis, tikkas and kebabs.
