Top 5 Delhi/NCR Places That Host Best Sufi Nights

-

Delhi and its connection with Sufi music can be traced back to the 10th and 11th century. It was during this time when the Sufi musicians, poets, and scholars in the likes of Amir Khusro popularized the mystical culture, the reminiscence of which is evident even today. Thursday night Qawwali at Nizamuddin Dargah is a long-standing tradition and a display of Delhi’s love for this soul-stirring and revered music. The romanticized representation of this scared Dargah in Bollywood movies like “Rock On” and “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” has further popularized this earthy and mystic rendition of Sufism. So, if you want a night of mystical awakening amidst great food and ambiance, we suggest you visit the following restaurants in Delhi/NCR that host the best Sufi nights.
