After more than a hearty iftar, you may presume that we had slipped into a #FoodComa, but the foodie in us wasn’t done yet. It was destination Zakaria Street again, this time for some #ShahiSehri. We checked out a few fave spots that people hang out at for Sehri and leave for morning prayers thereafter.
Right next to Taskeen Restaurant on Zakaria Street is another Sehri spot, Dilli 6, which serves typical Old Delhi-style Chicken Fry, which is essentially double-fried crispy chicken @ Rs 360 (one full chicken). The other dish that sells like hot cakes is their Afghani Chicken, which is fried chicken served in a gravy made of fresh cream and butter @ Rs 520 (full). It tastes best with their Rumali Roti or Butter Naan. As the chicken was being fried in the massive cauldron, the chef performed a fire trick as our camera went click-click!
