Tucked into Katherine Place, Delhi Streets nails the noisy, electric vatavaran of an old-school Indian street stall. City regulars treat the daily thali as a CBD staple—under $25 for three curries picked from the blackboard with rice, pickles, and crisp papad. Through the glass partition, naan dough slaps against the tandoor to order. Goat curry simmers tender on the bone, masala dosas land crisp at speed, and cold Indian beer flows beneath walls of vintage Bollywood posters.

- Proper Street Fare: Bhel puri with tamarind crunch, potato-stuffed masala dosas, and charcoal-kissed tandoori meats come out hot and quick.
- Tandoor on View: A glass-walled live kitchen lets you watch cooks slap fresh naan dough against the blazing tandoor oven wall to order.
- Fast-Paced Service: Curries, chaat, and Thums Up sodas land on tables within minutes, keeping the room buzzing without bogging you down.
