Delhi Restaurant

We went to little India one weekend for an Indian dinner & ended up at Delhi Restaurant, but at their brach at race course road. The ambiance is lovely especially the grand entrance. there were few people dining there at around 10PM. We settled down comfortably & ordered for Chicken dhaniwal Korma, along with stuffed naan & garlic naan. we were first served some crispy fried papad. Then the food arrived. The Chicken is a creamy gravy made of cashew nuts & coriander. It was rich & full of spices & flavors. It really went well with the stuffed naans & garlic naans. The naans were frshly made & was served hot. We finished off with some Mango kulfi which was yummy too. It was topped with tutti frutti which is my favorite. The bill was about 30$.

Being a Sunday, we decided to go to Mustafa Shopping Center for our groceries and all items. After we were done we went to Delhi Restaurant for lunch. We really like the North Indian food that is served here. After we arrived the waiter gave us the menu and looked through it. The kids said they wanted to have pulav so we ordered Delhi special pulav, Kadai Paneer, Mutton Masala and A garlic and butter naan. For drinks we ordered 2 cokes and a tiger beer.

Our drinks were brought to us soon with the beer being nice and chilled. Our food arrived in a short while. The special pulav is yummy since it is cooked with special basmati rice and a secret spice blend which gives it a nice aroma. It is really very healthy too since it contained mushrooms, paneer, green peas, dry fruits and it tasted really good. The kadai panner is nice and creamy and not too spicy and goes well with the garlic naan. While the Mutton masala goes well with the butter naan. The mutton pieces are nice and tender and doesn't stick to the teeth. The gravy is nice and thick and very delicious.

My wife & I recently went to Delhi Restaurant for dinner & we ordered for our favourite mix grill Sizzler, which we are fans of at Delhi Restaurant. Its a mixture of meats, seafood, eggs & some vegetables. It had chicken, mutton, beef, egg, prawn, fish & some veggies cooked in some spicy red spices. It is served on a sizzler dish,that makes all heads in the restaurant turn to watch . The 1/2 mix sizzler is awesome & is a hearty meal for 2 people.

Naan sold here is really fluffy and the texture is not too oily and with slight crispyness on the outer surface. Whether you eat it on its own or you eat with the curry chicken, both taste equally nice! The curry gravy is thick and with slight sweetness in it. Glad it is not too spicy, so I can dip my naan as much as I want in it, however do note it is still sinful too. The portion is quite generous and good to satisfy an adult for per portion. Usually their curry chicken is one of their best selling dish so sold out very fast too.

Over the weekend, We decided to go to Little India for dinner,as we were in the mood for Indian dinner. We normally use to frequent The Delhi restaurant on Syed Alawi road since its centrally located, but this time we decided to go to the branch at race course road. It was quite a walk, but it was worth it. The ambience was really nice. I loved the entrance. It was a massive & fancy door,that was really impressive.

Once we got in, we were guided to a table & handed the menu by the friendly staff. We browsed through and ordered a Chicken Pudina and some naan. The chicken pudina was so tasty. It was spicy and had a lovely mint flavour. The naans too were soft and tasty. We finally ended our dinner with some malai kulfi,which was really yummy, it was smooth,creamy & yummy.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Delhi restaurant & always do.

On Good friday, after the service in church, we thought of going to Little India to have a veg dinner, since we had been to Delhi Restaurant before, we went there again. Delhi Restaurant serves veg & non-veg Indian food. When we reached there, we noticed that there were quite alot of people dining there. I observed that alot of Europeans dine at Delhi. The ambience was lovely, dim lighting, colourful lamps hanging all over the place. The entrance too has a fancy wooden door. As we took our seats,the waitress immediately served us a bowl of crispy papads. We munched onto the papads while we decided on the menu. We chose Chana masala with stuffed Kulchas & plain naans. We also ordered for a plate of french fries as starters. The fries were served first and were sprinkled with salt & pepper. Then came the food. The Chana Masala was really tasty. It was a red spicy gravy with chick peas and tasted yummy with the plain naan & stuffed kulcha. Stuffed kulcha is a roti,stuffed with vegetables, it was quite tasty and filling. We enjoy dining at Delhi Restaurant,since its not only the food thats great, but the service is good & quick and the staff was really friendly & the food is reasonably priced. We definitely had a lovely time dining at Delhi Restaurant.

I love eating Delhi Restaurant signature dish the Mix Grill Sizzler

After pouring the liquor, the lit up the dish on fire. The aroma permeates through the nose and the food items soaking in the liquor makes the dish beyond description.

It's only available at Delhi Restaurant and cannot be found else where. Bring your favorite friend or family members to dine at Delhi Restaurant and they will thank you.

My bf and I love Indian food but often find it too heavy so we try to eat it only once a mth.. We frequent delhi but often end up eating the same kind of food because.. firstly.. we cant really remember the indian name of the dishes.. too afraid to try the funky sounding ones.. so we order the usual.. palek paneer (spinach puree with goat cheese).. its my absolute favourite because i feel very healthy eating this because its all green! but its actually quite fattening.. anyway the ones they serve here is very very good and goes very well with the garlic naan...

This time around we ordered the fish grilled in banana leaves which is very very yummy n fresh.. which made a good balance to all that heavy sauce of the other dishes.. the others we ordered was masala chicken and some cauliflower thing in a yellow sauce..

everything is yummy! and the good thing abt delhi at this branch is that the menu has description in english.. which is great for people trying out indian food for the first time.. but with the array of indian restaurants arnd the same area.. I would say this one is quite pricey..

We had been to Delhi Restaurant to celebrate our little birthday as a family. We decided on lunch since that is very convenient for us. We arrived there at 1.00 and were seated and the little baby was given a baby chair to sit. We ordered for soft drinks and then we ordered our meal. We placed an order for Mutton Josh (since we had heard a lot about it.), Potato and Cauliflower and naan. We had to wait for quite a while till our food was served. But it was worth the wait since the food was excellent and we really enjoyed it. Specially the Mutton Josh!! Good Job guys only improve on your service please.

Went there for a light lunch and decided to order some curry with naan while my partner had the same choice but a different curry. We had our usual butter chicken curry and a fish masala curry. Instead of the baspati rice which we normally order, we decided to go for the naan instead as rice was too filling. The naan was crispy and fragrant. The texture is easy to tear and does not collapse easily when peeled.

Tried on a fish curry this time round, the fish masala curry. The fish is soft and easy to chew, no bones present. The curry gravy was quite salty, without some baspati rice, the gravy would have been too overpowering. Still, a decent dish to order at this place. 1 dish is enough to fill me up.

It was my first time going to this restaurant. The ambience was really nice. The staff were also very friendly. I wanted to try something new and ordered the kashmiri naan. It was very sweet as it had raisins inside and nice. Unlike other naans, where u would have to dip in gravy, this naan can be eaten on its own.

I also ordered rice with butter chicken gravy. The gravy was really good and thick. Tasty indeed.

A very much interesting place to dine. On afternoons, it seems quiet, good for couples who prefer a peaceful time.
Muthu's Curry is just some distance away and compared to it, this restaurant's size is puny.
The food and service however, does itself justice.
Your glasses will never be empty with the water coming around every now and then. Can't find any faults with the service here really.
The Butter Chicken here is solid, thick and the chicken were very tender.
Garlic Naan was plain tasting but the smell was fragrant.
Do not order the baspati rice as it's not well cooked here. Too dry for my taste.
