Evolution of Indian Dining: From Iconic Restaurants to Chef-Led Micro-Spaces
Indian dining has evolved from a few iconic restaurants like Bukhara and Trishna in the early 2000s to a diverse culinary scene featuring chef-led micro-restaurants. While traditional favorites remain popular for hosting foreign guests, newer intimate venues such as Cavity in Delhi offer immersive, small-scale dining experiences with regional ingredients and storytelling. This shift reflects growing innovation and variety in India's luxury food landscape over the past two decades.
