For those who believe that Biryani is the ultimate food pleasure, let me tell you that there is another dish that is equally delicious, and it is called 'Soya Chaap'. It is known as a vegetarian alternative to chicken and is packed with flavors. Soya chaap is best enjoyed when it is roasted on skewers and smothered in cream. If you’re in Delhi, here are the top 10 places that serve the best Soya Chaap, which you should definitely try.
