It is themed as "Bazaar-E-Purani", an ode to the iconic market places of Chandni Chowk which have stood through times, generations and dynasties.

"Our chefs have collaborated with local khansamas to capture the secrets behind the aromatic delicacies which are deeply rooted in Chandni Chowk's culture. Our food menu celebrates the street food hawkers of the old city in an extremely hygienic set up," said Ashutosh Bisht, executive sous-chef at Crowne Plaza, Okhla.

"This year, we are taking a nostalgic trip back to the first edition of the food festival where we showcased the cultural and culinary glory of the markets of Purani Dilli. It has always been our endeavor to celebrate the regional cuisines along with immersive dining experiences for a true gastronomic indulgence," said Shuvendu Banerjee, general manager at the Crowne Plaza.

Lastly, the expansive dessert section including a host of Dilli 6 decadent treats such as 'Daulat Ki Chaat', 'Palang tod Barfi', 'Habshi Halwa', 'Rabdi Faluda', 'Sunhari Paita Halwa', 'Phirni' and 'Shahi Tukda' --makes sure that the visitors finish the meal on a sweet note.
