Delhi is the capital
of India. Delhi's history goes back thousands of years ago.
There were Islamic sultanates that were set up starting around the
1100s. They built a lot of the monuments around and in
Delhi. The British also influenced a lot of the architecture in
Delhi too during the colonial era. While in Delhi, I recommend
dining at the Bukhara Restaurant at the ITC Maurya Hotel. It is
where the heads of state stay when they visit India. Bukhara has
served Presidents George W. Bush, Clinton, and Obama. They also
served Russian President Putin. The chef is very famous, and the
restaurant is the top rated restaurant in Asia.
