Best North Indian Restaurants in Chandigarh

The top North Indian restaurants in Chandigarh are ranked above based on tandoor quality, dal makhani technique, and breads. North Indian is a broad cuisine — the best restaurants usually specialise in Punjabi, Mughlai, or Awadhi sub-styles.

A North Indian meal for two in Chandigarh ranges from Rs 600 at casual restaurants to Rs 2,500+ at fine-dining. Standard kebab platter + dal makhani + naan + a sabzi works out to about Rs 1,200-1,500 for two.

Order a tandoori starter (kebab or paneer tikka), then a creamy gravy (dal makhani, shahi paneer, or butter chicken), a non-creamy curry, breads, and finish with kheer or kulfi.

Punjabi is a major sub-cuisine of North Indian but North Indian is broader — it includes Mughlai, Awadhi, Kashmiri, and Rajasthani influences. The best North Indian restaurants represent multiple regional traditions on one menu.
