We resided in Annecy for nearly two years and decided to visit this Indian restaurant just before our departure. We knew about it as it is known to be one of the best restaurants serving north Indian food in Annecy. Since we encouraged ourselves more into the local food, we landed there only when we planned to treat one of our friends from China. And we were not disappoined! Here I describe our experience briefly.
First of all, the ambiance of the restaurant exuded a warm and homely vibe. From the waitstaff to the proprietors, everyone welcomed us graciously. Perhaps, I felt a bit more connected owing to our shared nationality. Nonetheless, the woman in charge exuded a charming personality, always adorned with a bright smile.
The restaurant offered a homely setting, accommodating no more than 15-20 people at a time, and prided itself on serving freshly prepared dishes. Consequently, patience might be necessary due to the limited staff, comprising only three individuals, including the chef. It's advisable to place your entire order at once to streamline the service.
Regarding the food, we relished almost every dish we tried, from the appetizers to the desserts. Notably, the mango lassi captured our hearts, especially my wife's. Moving on to the biriyanis—both the chicken and mutton variants—we found them possibly the best North Indian biriyanis available in Annecy. Our meal culminated with a delightful serving of Suji ka Halwa.
I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking the authentic flavours of some of the North Indian cuisine. Hope to visit it in future if I ever get a...
Read moreWe had to wait for 1 hour to get inside. We told to wait for 30 min initially but end up waiting for 1h. However they provided free mango juice and papad for waiting outside. The food was good. We ordered something which was not from the menu, (kadhai paneer). The chef agreed however they did not tell that this modified dish going to cost 40% more costly than the regular dish like matar or palak paneer. They should have mentioned the price earlier. Then we ordered dal makhani and they served channa dal saying they serve channa daal and call that dish dal makhani. The portion size was little bit smal when you compare. When a menu card say Naan - they mean Tandoori roti. However mostly in france they do it. I don't know they should tell indian customer in advance. For us Naan means naan in Indian restaurant. In last they did not provide us reciept ( I did not mind initially) but they miscalculated and I ended up paying around 5-10 euro more, which was not our fault. Always ask and confirm everything in advance before...
Read moreNew Delhi, Annecy, is an Indian specialty restaurant mostly catering to North Indian delicacies. I am a regular at their place and I must say that it is really like an oasis in the desert for me (because there are hardly any good Indian restaurants in the neighbourhood).
Their food is made of fresh ingredients and are really delicious. I will definitely recommend their dal-makhni and the subzi korma in particular. They have a good variety of dishes including different types of breads (naan, roti, cheese naan, paratha etc.), rice (pulao, biriyani etc.). I also like their vegetarian thali, which is really sumptuous and has a god assortment starting from starters to desserts.
The place is cosy and the reception by the hosts is exceptional. A couple runs it and they are always warm.
The only thing that I would advice if one is going to visit this place is that one should make reservations in advance.
I highly recommend this...
