Hyatt Hotels Corporation had the official opening of Annamaya foodhall, marking the first Indian location for the Andaz brand. Celebrating the local culture and unique spirit of neighbourhoods by emphasizing consciously sourced ingredients and local artisanal produce in the uniquely conceived European food hall.

You probably already knew this, Annamaya Foodhall, consists a collection of food stalls, and is the best place to eat lunch in the Loop. It’s not even a close contest, no other destination in Delhi/NCR contains so much incredible food.

Crowds swarmed immediately on its opening and haven’t thinned since. During peak lunch hours, you’ll wade through a sea of collared shirts and dress pants, emerging at your chosen stall. While Annamaya’s location at Aerocity’s Andaz hotel might explain some of the appeal, but after eating at every single vendor over the course of launch and at one of a kind artisan fair, I think the quality of the food is what really will keep everyone coming back.

The only way to be disappointed, beyond griping about the lines, is to expect something from Annamaya that it is not. It definitely is not a food hall in the grand tradition of places yet you can score top-quality groceries along with a quick lunch. I think Delhi still deserves a place like that.

Annamaya is probably more accurately described as a fancy food court. Technically, it can feel like a shock to the system as you could supper here too: as its seven shop-house experiences in an open and fluid environment, where indigenous cooking methods can be experienced throughout the day.
