Crowne Plaza Mayur Vihar Presents ‘Zaiqa-e-Dilli’ – A Culinary Celebration of Delhi

Original Lotan Ke Chole Kulche, Nagori Halwa, Daulat Ki Chaat and More

New Delhi: Infinity, the signature all-day dining destination at Crowne Plaza New Delhi Mayur Vihar, will host the third edition of its flagship food festival, Zaiqa-e-Dilli, from 30th January to 8th February 2026. Showcasing over 100 iconic dishes over a cyclic menu, the festival brings Delhi’s most celebrated flavours together in a premium setting, offering guests a full-day culinary journey that celebrates the city’s rich food culture.

Themed ‘Adat Si Dilli’, this season honours Delhiites’ instinctive love for food—comforting, familiar, and deeply rooted in daily life. Every preparation draws inspiration from Delhi’s streets, local vendors, and master khansamas who have preserved Delhi’s culinary traditions for generations.

From the historic lanes of Old Delhi to the cosmopolitan streets of Connaught Place, the upscale charm of Khan Market, the bustling markets of Lajpat Nagar, the Mughlai heritage of Matia Mahal, the street eats of Rajouri Garden, Rajendra Nagar, and Karol Bagh, the eclectic flavours of Majnu Ka Tila, and University campus-style favourites, Zaiqa-e-Dilli offers a curated exploration of the city’s culinary soul.

Guests can enjoy a complete Delhi-inspired culinary journey, experiencing the city’s flavours from morning to evening in a single setting. The evening begins with bun maska and chai from Old Delhi, followed by iconic dishes like Lotan Ke Chole Kulche and Shyam Sweet’s Poori Bedami & Nagori Halwa, then Kachoris from Civil Lines and Matia Mahal-style kebabs, mutton nihari, and Akbari fish, showcasing Delhi’s Mughlai heritage. Lajpat Nagar favourites include Aloo Chaat and Ram Ladoo, while Momos from Majnu Ka Tila offer contemporary street-style flair. Rajouri Garden-style Chole Bhature adds classic street indulgence. Artisanal breads such as khameeri roti, rumali roti, rogani naan, and butter roti highlight traditional craftsmanship. Live counters, inspired by India Gate evenings and Connaught Place vibes, serve Bunta, Chuski, Bhel Puri, and traditional ice creams, while guests can also enjoy Khan Market-inspired cocktails, complementing the evening. The festival culminates in the signature Delhi street experience with Paranthe Wali Gali and delicious kulhad-style rajma chawal, offering a complete, multi-sensory journey that celebrates the aromas, textures, and vibrant flavours at the heart of Delhi.

“Zaiqa-e-Dilli celebrates Delhi’s culinary craft and culture. From hand-kneaded breads and slow-simmered gravies to street-inspired creations, every preparation embodies generations of skill, balance, and care. Guests, whether discovering Delhi for the first time or revisiting familiar flavours, experience the textures, aromas, and rhythms that define the city’s kitchens.Our chefs, in collaboration with local khansamas and culinary experts, have explored Delhi’s iconic neighbourhoods and flavours to craft a meticulously curated rotating menu, bringing the city’s rich culinary heritage to life in every dish.”

Executive Chef Roushan Sharma

 “Zaiqa-e-Dilli is a journey through the heart and soul of Delhi’s food culture. Our vision is to create a celebration that transcends dining—a place where every guest, local or international, can taste the city’s heritage, experience its stories, and feel its vibrant energy. This festival isn’t just about food; it’s about connecting with Delhi in its most authentic, memorable, and joyous way.”
