What: Arab food catering by Rita Chachra, pick up from homes in Gurgaon and Saket, call 9811805556, order three days in advance, Rs 1,500 for a leg of raan.

Why: After spending years in the Middle East with her husband’s family (formerly based in Iraq) this Badaam Hussain invaded Delhi bearing many gifts: recipes for wine-marinated raan and whole roast chicken, arayeses and khubus, mutton kebabs and creamy hummus. These she distributes through Zaitoon, her family restaurant in DLF Place Mall, but also via her home catering service, where she whips up personalised dishes and also her coveted raan, not available at the restaurant. Ewe, baby!

When: You want to eat around the Bush.
