The best food influencers in Delhi in 2026 include Manmeet Kaur (@beautifulfoodie) for recipe Shorts and family food, Karan Dua (@dilsefoodie) for street food reviews, Amar Sirohi (@foodie_incarnate) for vegetarian discovery, Shivesh Bhatia (@shivesh17) for baking and Anubhav Sapra (@delhifoodwalks) for food walks. Pick by format: reviews, recipes or experiences.
Few cities eat the way Delhi does, so it is no surprise that its food creators are some of the most influential in India. This list is in no particular order and reflects the scene as of November 2026. We chose creators based in Delhi NCR who post consistently and have a distinct format, whether that is street food reviews, home recipes, baking, chef-led cooking or guided food walks. That variety matters, because a cloud kitchen launch, a new snack and a fine-dining menu each need a different kind of storyteller.

8. Kuljyoti Dhingra (@kuljyoti.dhingra)
Kuljyoti Dhingra is a Delhi food creator who has been featured in several roundups of the city's food bloggers.

9. Sukrit Jain (@thegreatindianfoodie)
Sukrit Jain founded The Great Indian Foodie, a Delhi-rooted page that celebrates Indian food, from street food and classic restaurants to traditional and modernised dishes and desserts. The page has a strong vegetarian leaning and regularly showcases regional dishes from across India. Its feed works as a visual menu for food lovers. It suits vegetarian restaurants, mithai and dessert brands, QSR chains with Indian menus and regional food companies looking for mass reach.
10. Nikita Varma (@iamdatingfood)
Nikita Varma runs I Am Dating Food, a Delhi food page known for recipes that follow current food trends and cover a wide range of cuisines. Her content tends to pick up what people are curious about and make it doable at home. That trend-spotting instinct is valuable to brands launching something new. She suits packaged ingredients and sauces, kitchen appliances, beverage brands and cafes looking to ride a trend with a recipe-led story.
How we chose these creators
Every creator here was picked by hand. We looked at a handful of things that matter to brands far more than a single follower number:
- Consistency: an active, regularly updated profile with a recognisable format, not one viral post.
- Audience fit: a following that genuinely matches the niche and, where relevant, the Delhi NCR market.
- Content quality: clear storytelling, good production and a style that is recognisably their own.
- Professionalism: a visible history of brand work handled with clear disclosures and on-brief delivery.
- Relevance: a reason a brand searching this category in 2026 would actually want to work with them.
No creator paid to be included, and no placement on this list is sponsored. Each name was cross-checked against several independent sources, such as press features, interviews, agency lists and the creator's own channels. We have deliberately left out follower counts and rates, because they change month to month; check the live numbers and ask for current insights before you sign anything.
How to choose the right creator from this list
For food brands, format matters as much as audience. Decide first whether you need people to visit, to buy or to cook.
- For footfall: restaurants and cafes do well with review and discovery creators such as Karan Dua, Sarah Hussain and Kuljyoti Dhingra, who show the place, the dishes and the price.
- For packaged food: recipe creators like Manmeet Kaur, Shivesh Bhatia and Nikita Varma integrate your product into something people will make, which drives trial.
- For credibility: chef-led content from Kunal Kapur, or culture-led content from Anubhav Sapra, adds authority.
- For vegetarian audiences: Amar Sirohi and Sukrit Jain have audiences built around vegetarian food.
