Frommer's Review
This is one of the best ways to enjoy Delhi, which is probably why Delhi's smart crowd loves this designer-chic rooftop restaurant, with views of the Qutb Minar. Reached via an ancient elevator and a short set of stairs, the artful alfresco setting includes a bright-orange walled area with cushioned seating, wind-blown canopies, and wall torches; you should reserve well ahead to sit here. The energetic hostess will make plenty of recommendations; find out if the wonderful pork spareribs, marinated in Thai herbs and topped with a honey and garlic sauce, are on offer. Seafood dishes are exceptional; try red snapper in chili-sour sauce, prawns stir-fried with fresh green chilies and sweet basil, or deep-fried filet of sole tossed in chopped garlic and freshly crushed black pepper. On Sunday, a value-packed buffet draws a big crowd. Try one of the delightfully decadent cocktails. The wine list has vintages from France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, and California.

Frommer's Review
Authenticity is also a focus at this stylish, rather romantic restaurant at the Oberoi; many of the exotic ingredients are, like resident chef Tseng Te Chang, flown in from Thailand, while seafood comes from the Keralite port of Cochin. Start with tom yam koong, spicy prawn soup flavored with lemon grass, kafir leaves, galangal, and lime, to prepare your palate. Tseng Te Chang makes a mean green curry from garden-fresh chilies and imported Thai spices, with your choice of duck, lamb, catfish, tenderloin, chicken, or vegetables. Other popular items include deep-fried pomfret topped with raw mango salad, stir-fried crab, and grilled duck in Thai wine sauce. Save space for a light dessert: The homemade ice creams include coconut and pandanus flavors.
