Delhi Street Food Every Foodie Must Try #infographic #StreetFood #India

The street food concept in Delhi is very old, but it still knows the pulse of the foodies and their taste. While there is no dearth of 3 and 5-star restaurants in the capital city, spotting the best of world’s luxury cars outside street food stalls in Delhi is a common sight. So what makes the street food of Delhi so ‘forever loved’?

Eating street food in Delhi is primarily about the taste and the feel of eating at the vibrant, crowded place, ditching the fork and spoons and enjoying something special.

Whether it is the ‘paranthe waali gali’ in Chandni chowk or the famous ‘Natraj Dhai Bhalle waale’; no high-end restaurant can get you the taste and feel of these places. There are places in new and old Delhi that are more famous for their food than their product range. Nehru place, for example, is the largest peripherals market in India, but the place is full of food lovers enjoying snacks, spicy fast food and the taste of Indian Chinese from local vendors. Many especially come to the Nehru place area for the food treat only.

The street food of Delhi has a distinctive style of its own. If you have had regular paani puris in other parts of India before, in Delhi you’ll be introduced to its own version of ‘Sooji ki puris’. Your concept of Dahi vada will completely melt away after you try the distinct Dahi bhalle of Delhi.

7 Reasons Why Domino’s is Winning in India #infographic #pizza #India

Quick Serve Restaurants (QSRs) are becoming very popular in India.
This has been enabled by two things: 1) A rising middle-class. 2) The breakneck pace of mobile adoption in India.

The middle-class is rising because of IT jobs and the “Make in India” government campaign where foreign companies are required to have local jobs and source 30% of their products from India.

Mobile adoption is also a huge factor in QSR growth. India will be the only major country in the world with double-digit mobile adoption until the year 2021. At that time, they will have more than 810 million people using smartphones. That is 2.5x the current population of the United States.

The most popular QSR in India is Domino’s Pizza. In fact, India is the only place in the world where Domino’s outnumbers McDonald’s 2 to 1.

But Why? This simple infographic will show you why Domino’s has risen to the top.
