There are many distinctive dishes available in Bihari cuisine, but sadly, they are not well recognised in the rest of the country. However, the food in Bihar is highly diversified and nutritious. The Indo-Gangetic plain is where Bihar is located, making it an ideal place for intensive agriculture. Well, if you wish to taste the authentic flavours of Bihar, visit this restaurant started by a mother-daughter duo in Delhi.

Authentic Bihari Love Crafted For Everyone
You might be seated at the Potbelly restaurant in Delhi, and after tasting the food, you surely will feel like being teleported to a typical Bihari village. From Litthi Choka to Ghugni Chura, and from Ahuna Handi mutton to Boondi as a sweet dish, everything is simply a culinary journey across the state.
Puja always wanted to come up with a restaurant of her own, and when she did, it was in Delhi. But now the challenge was to name it. She asked her friends to name the restaurant, and just randomly, they said Peeto, which means Potbelly in English. And that is how the name was coined for the restaurant.
The simple interiors of the place complement the dishes, which have many flavours. Also, while trying out all the authentic dishes, do not miss the Sattu coolers, which are a favourite among the guests here.
