New Delhi's 2,000+ restaurants and lounges are sure to entertain. Simply select a travel companion and check out some of chic night spots below:

• 1) Aqua

  The most popular bar among western travelers is Aqua in the Park Hotel. A disco ball hangs over the pool and admission is free - you can't go wrong.

• 2) Bukhara

  In the Maurya Sheraton is a restaurant that consistently earns the title of India's best restaurant, Bukhara. It's expensive but worth it. Reservations are required and the roast lamb is to die for.

• 3) Club India Cafe

  For something a bit less pricy, head over to Club India Cafe. You'll have to brave a suspect stairway; but forge upward, because some of the best food in New Delhi is at the top. Club India Cafe's menu is eclectic, but the owner is Japanese and those are the dishes you want to try, it's Subarashii!

• 4) Kuki

  Another option is Kuki in the Masjid Moth Complex. At Kuki, be prepared to either a) get turned away or b) pay a hefty cover charge.

• 5) Punjabi by Nature

  Punjabi by Nature, near Rajouri Garden, is one of New Delhi's most well-known eateries. The portions are humongous and the food is flavorful. When things get crowded, the service can sometimes wane, but chances are you'll be too mesmerized by the brilliant food and bright atmosphere to notice.

• 6) Smoke House Grill

  Delhi's yuppies favor the trendy Smoke House Grill. A concept restaurant, Smoke House's shtick is that all the food is smoked - everything.
