I have been a huge fan of the Oberoi Delhi for 20 or so years, but thought the service and attitude of staff had really declined. I was much more impressed with the Taj Palace this time as staff was more attentive and welcoming and if you stay on the club floor, the accommodation is far superior to The Oberoi. I was also really impressed with the food, especially at Blue Ginger, which just opened.
I also like the Taj Mahal Hotel Delhi, but think the rooms/suites need refurbishing. This is on the cards, but like most places, it has been delayed due to the downturn.
