I have been trying to find Google Places API 3 to get the list of restaurants in Delhi, but so far I have not got any luck. Has anyone tried that before. It shows good results with coordinates in US but nothing in Delhi?

I guess the problem is the categorization applied by the owners of the places. When I search for “restaurant delhi” on google-maps I get a lot of restaurants, but none of them is categorized as “restaurant”, it’s lodging, restaurants-indian,Restaurants – Non – Vegetarian or something else, but never restaurant .
Instead of requesting the types restaurant search for the name restaurant , you’ll get a bunch of results.
When you take a look at these results, you’ll see, the types of the most results is set to “establishment” , not “restaurant”
