Secret Food Destinations

Kebabs, those delightfully tasty oven cooked pieces of meat which makes any spicy meat lover from the Indian Subcontinent salivate, are some of the most abused and ill made dishes across different geographies.

In my travels around India, I was able to find only a handful of places which serve kebabs as we ought to have them.

Now let me clarify, that I haven't really been to many parts of India, just the metropolitan cities, but here are a few places where you might find something that you like.

The first place I'd like to talk about is Galinas, a small, nondescript shop on Gole Market near Karol Bagh, a place which a haven for all kebab fans. This place is at least about 50 years old. Has been making kebabs having the same taste for all this while. A must have delicacy here is the mutton seekh rolls. Covered in rumali rotis, served with a delicious mint chutney with onions and their special salt, these are kebab rolls to die for. All this at very affordable rates.

The secret to good kebabs I guess is the minced meat that goes into making the kebab, and the marinate which gives it their delicious taste.

When you bite into this kebab, the first thing that hits you is the neutral taste of the maida rumali roti, followed by the awesome taste of the garlic laced kebab, delicately cooked in a tandoor. Mixed with the mint sauce and onions with the unique seasoning salt makes it an experience of a lifetime.
