Hunger Strike, Chinese restaurant in Defence Colony Tehsil, India.
Hunger Strike is a restaurant in Defence Colony, Delhi, where Indian and Chinese dishes appear side by side on the same menu. The selection covers noodles, rice, and momos prepared in several ways, including a version finished in a clay tandoor oven.
The place started as a small food stall in Defence Colony before gradually growing into a sit-down restaurant. Over time it became a regular stop for people who live and work in the neighborhood.
The cooking style here follows what Delhi locals call Indo-Chinese, a way of preparing food that grew out of the street food scene and mixes Chinese techniques with Indian spices. The menu shows how this tradition has settled into everyday eating habits across the city.
The restaurant opens in the afternoon and stays open into the evening, so it works for both lunch and dinner. Service tends to be fast, which makes it a practical choice if you do not have much time.
The tandoori momos are cooked in a clay tandoor oven rather than being steamed like most dumplings, giving the outside a slightly charred, crispy texture. The filling inside stays soft, which creates a contrast you do not usually find in the standard version of this dish.
