if all goes well then you should be at the radisson about 30-45 minutes after your flight lands....getting to the city center between 5pm-8pm can take some time....traffic is crazy....it could take an hour if you are lucky & can even take a couple of hours....

if you are in cp then i can suggest 'rodeo'....one of my favourite restaurants in delhi....

best to get a prepaid taxi....just ask your hotel to arrange one for you....don't take the hotel car as it will be expensive....
