Delhi has been quietly serious about sandwiches for generations. Old counters still layer soft white bread by hand, while newer rooms bake their own sourdough and focaccia. Fillings run from fruit and paneer to pastrami and melted cheese, and the rooms run from quick counters to places built for a slow afternoon.So treat this as a trail. Walk in, sit down, order well.
