According to worldwide research, a city’s population’s (eating out) food habits are governed by the growing mass of working couples and the growing distance between workplace & residential complexes. In Delhi’s case many families now have both husband and wife working and driving great distances to their workplaces as new commercial complexes come up in distant places to leverage low cost land prices. No wonder Delhi’s working population loves fast food restaurants that give them quick, wholesome food at reasonable rates. Popular fast food chains like Niurlas are an integral part of an ‘engraved’ Delhi-ites psyche. Most of us Dilliwallas have been their fan as eager-hungry kids and now routinely take our own kids to these fast food joints – call it ‘cross generation’ addiction! These fast food centers’ unique blend of fast service, wholesome food and a vast variety of fast-yet-traditional food gives them the edge over the regular casual dining outlets. You can order a thali if you’re really hungry and have a huge appetite (and there’s no girlfriend or a ‘sophisticated’ colleague around to impress with a burger or pizza) or even a quick and filling hot-dog or ice cream fudge. There is something for everyone: tasty snacks, sweets, deserts, full meals, continental fare, desi delights (Mumbai food- pan bhaji, South food-dosa, north food – parantha thali, East- mishti doi).
