Fresh food shop enthralling husband somewhere in India (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new delhi

'somewhere in india' is the definition.
(capital of India)

'fresh food shop enthralling husband' is the wordplay.
'fresh' becomes 'new' (associated in meaning).
'food shop' becomes 'deli' (synonyms).
'enthralling' indicates putting letters inside.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'deli' going around 'h' is 'delhi'.
'new'+'delhi'='NEW DELHI'

(Other definitions for new delhi that I've seen before include "Strangely, end while in India" , "End while in India, oddly" , "Gambling establishments" , "'Indian capital (3,5)'" , "Indian capital city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
