Burgers and hotdogs ain't so hot. The good ol' sandwich, in bigger and spicier incarnations, makes a comeback.

Subway, Delhi

Subway, Delhi: Plenty to choose from

It's a non-vegetarian's paradise. But the sheer novelty of being able to make your own sandwich, choose your toppings, breads and sauces should be enough encouragement for the vegans to pay this American sandwich chain, in Delhi's Saket, a visit. You get huge-very filling and very healthy-six-inch or footlong sandwiches stuffed with a variety of toppings from the exotic honey mustard smoked chicken to the more regular roasted lamb. Those who're unperturbed by high calories can dig into the yummy pickles and mayo. The prices are very reasonable with a meal for two comprising a six-inch non-veg footlong, a brownie and drinks costing just Rs 250.
