Best Burgers in New Delhi: 9 Verified Spots
A verified shortlist for best burgers in New Delhi, with buff explained, neighbourhoods and vegetarian picks.
The best burgers in New Delhi are not in one shop. They are scattered across Khan Market, Connaught Place, Defence Colony, Vasant Kunj and the wider NCR. I spent 29 September trying to pin down addresses and Delhi prices outlet by outlet — Zomato and search kept timing out. So this is what it is: a tight nine-name shortlist I could verify from primary sources. Three smash-style, four dine-in cafes, two veg-led. My bias is clear. I would start with smash.

How I picked the best burger in Delhi
I kept only venues with a verifiable Delhi presence — official site, established press, or directory listing. No ranking by Google rating. No outlet-by-outlet 2026 open-status check yet, and I do not state closures as fact. New Delhi is the capital district within Delhi NCT, and bills are paid in Indian rupees (INR, Rs) (Incredible India).
Beef on a Delhi menu does not mean cow beef. Cow slaughter is prohibited in Delhi under the Delhi Agricultural Cattle Preservation Act 1994, so beef or buff means water-buffalo (Delhi law portal). For the wider India context, see my best burgers in Mumbai.

Smash burger Delhi: thin patties done right
The best smash burger Delhi bets here are Good Flippin’ Burgers, Louis Burger and Jimis Burger. Thin patties, crisp edges. That technique suits buff and chicken.

1. Good Flippin’ Burgers
Good Flippin’ Burgers is my first call for smashed buff in Delhi NCR, in brioche. Founded in 2019 by Sijo Mathew, Sid Marchant and Viren D’Silva, it runs 60+ outlets including Delhi NCR (brand story).
Its Classic stacks two buff patties, two cheddar slices, truffle mayo and brioche. The brand listed it at INR 365 in a September 2026 Mumbai menu check — I could not verify the Delhi price, so I do not state one. For bun technique, see my homemade burger buns recipe.
2. Louis Burger
Louis Burger is the one to try for a double-buff smash-style cheeseburger. A cloud-kitchen brand from Zorawar Kalra’s Massive Restaurants, present in Delhi NCR (Massive Restaurants).
Its Monster Cheeseburger pairs double buff with English cheddar and bacon. Outlets are cloud kitchens, so check the live delivery listing for your neighbourhood.
3. Jimis Burger
Jimis Burger is the pick for an oversized stack. The founder started from a pushcart in Sangli at INR 60 a burger and opened in Malad in 2014; the brand lists Delhi NCR outlets (Curly Tales report).
Its Jaw Breaker is a roughly 7-inch stack. Fun. Confirm the Delhi NCR outlet and current menu before going.
Where to eat burgers in Khan Market, Connaught Place and Defence Colony
For dine-in around Connaught Place, Khan Market and Defence Colony, go to Big Chill Cafe, Cafe Delhi Heights, Smoke House Deli or AKU’s. Fixed dining rooms. Not delivery-only.

4. AKU’s - The Brrgrr Co.
AKU’s - The Brrgrr Co. is the Defence Colony address for gourmet burgers with fresh buns. It operates in Defence Colony, New Delhi (Zomato listing).
I could not verify its full postal address or current signature from a primary source, so I leave them out until I can.
5. Big Chill Cafe
Big Chill Cafe is the reliable Khan Market and Connaught Place stop when the table cannot agree. Burgers alongside a full Italian menu. It operates in both areas (official site).
Order here when you need pasta, pizza and burgers at once.
6. Cafe Delhi Heights
Cafe Delhi Heights runs several New Delhi outlets, including Connaught Place, Khan Market and Vasant Kunj (official site). Ask for the Juicy Lucy and the Delhi Heights burger.
Locations shift often. Confirm the outlet address on the brand site.
7. Smoke House Deli
Smoke House Deli in Defence Colony and Khan Market does grilled, deli-style burgers (official site). Quieter room. Daytime pace.
Go here for a sit-down burger, not a late-night smash.

Veg burger Delhi best: vegetarian picks
For veg in this set: Burger Singh for Indian flavours, Jumboking for low-cost vegetarian classics. Delhi demand for vegetarian is large, so both sell veg alongside non-veg.

8. Burger Singh
Burger Singh is the Delhi NCR chain for Indian-flavoured burgers. Founded in 2014 in Gurgaon / Delhi NCR (official site). I like the idea more than most fusion menus — Amritsari Murgh, Rajma.
Recipes vary by store. Check the current outlet menu.
9. Jumboking
Jumboking is the vegetarian-rooted chain with Delhi presence. Founded on 23 August 2001 in Malad by Dheeraj and Reeta Gupta, about 200 outlets in India, from vada-pav origins into vegetarian burgers (official site).
Pick it for a cheap vegetarian burger, not a gourmet dine-in.
