Hauz Khas Village is not just a trendy cultural hub in New Delhi but also a place that tells a tale of culinary evolution. The name 'Hauz Khas' itself is derived from a water tank of the same name, built by Sultan Alauddin Khilji to supply water to the inhabitants of Siri Fort.
Over the years, as the neighborhood transformed from a complex of medieval structures to a chic urban village, the food scene also developed distinctly. The area became a melting pot of various cuisines, courtesy of the diverse crowd it attracts, including students, artists, and tourists. Influences from Mughal, North Indian, and international cuisines have led to a unique gastronomic landscape in Hauz Khas Village.
