Dilli 32 — Restaurant in Delhi

I will count Dilli 32 as one of the best dine-in experience restaurants in Delhi-NCR. The Leela Ambience Convention Hall is a luxury hotel in Vivek Vihar. It is near Yamuna Sports Complex. The accessibility is not very easy here. It is better to go by your own conveyance or hire a cab. But you must visit Dilli 32 to have a great dining experience. Because the philosophy here is slightly different from other places. The first priority here is to relax and enjoy. And for that, there is live music. A couple that sings quite well is there to honor your requests. So if there is any Bollywood or non-Bollywood song including Gazals that you have in mind, they sing it for you in their sweet melodious voice on your request. Secondly, the staff though is around you but doesn't poke you too much for taking the order.

In fact, it is your call whenever you would like to order. So you are free to enjoy live music and lively environment before placing and order, after placing your order till you get it, and during having your meal. But to start with, there is always a light snack of the day that comes automatically. In addition, a basket of pappadums (papads). Like the day of our visit, the light snack item was Moong Daal Laddoo. Overall, the atmosphere is quite noiseless around, of course, other than the music. Therefore, enjoy music to its fullest. The ambiance of Dilli 32 is quite vibrant thus transmitting a right kind of energy around. And when you enjoy a song, don't forget to honor back the singers by clapping and cheering them.

The Chef of Dilli 32 is quite particular about special regional delicacies of India. He admits that a right mix of spices is very important for any recipe. A small disproportion can altogether change the taste of any dish. We had Bhuna Paneer Tikka, Makai aur Akhrot ki Khaas Seekh, Palak ki Asharfian, Arbi ki Shammi, and Soya Kat a Kat. The Palak, Makai, and Paneer Delicacies were fabulous but winning with a very little margin over other. In the non-veg starters don't miss Nukti Kebab, Peshawari Seekh, and Chatpati Macchli. In veg mains, I would love to recommend Dilli 32 Daal and Lasooni Palak. While in the non-veg main course, my favorite dishes are Jheenga Kali Mirch, Nehari Gosht, and Tawa Murg Aminabadi. Overall, Dilli 32 is always a...

The festival is being hosted at their effervescent North Indian restaurant, Dilli 32 with an ambience that takes you back to the ghats of Benaras. The festival this time is being held as a buffet till 29th October, The menu is large and has some really interesting twists. We bring you the five Benarasi vegetarian dishes that you must try out at this festival.

Tamatar Ki Chaat: One of most famous dishes from Benaras, this chaat with tang of spices is a must for an authentic Benarasi experience.

Baati Chokha: The cooking method give it it’s characteristic taste. The succulent pieces of mutton with it's thick luscious gravy are a perfect accompaniment to this rustic dish. There is also some mashed brinjals along with a Tomato chutney and chili pickle

Choti kachori with Subzi: A simple breakfast which enthralls the hearts of many. The Kachori with the potato subzi is something that everyone in North India has definitely tried out. A simple combination which leaves a mark on our palate without heading off to complexities.

Shahi Paan: A welcome drink that will impress you with a fragrant sweetness of rose with the thick malai of the milk.

Benaras Dum Aloo: Aha the classic, Need I say more?? The perfect combination of spicy and sweet flavours.

Try these with either a Missi Roti or a plain butter Naan. Finish off with some love from the ghats of Benaras in the form of Madgal, Kheer Mohan, Parval Ki Mithai and...

We randomly went to Leela for celebrations. The lady at the restaurant's reception looked us up & down (we were in casuals), if we had any reservations, we said, "No, it's a random plan." and then she mentioned with a sneer that minimum bill has to be of Rs. 1500. We literally laughed and said, "Ok". She went on to show us the last table near the washrooms. It was not even 7, we both understood that these might be the only unreserved ones but we were there for almost 2 hours and not a single other table was occupied. Jesus, it would have killed her to give us a table with a view. It was literally sad, her attitude spoiled the whole evening for us. We realized, we both should have channeled our inner Audrey Hepburn and should have dressed better.

To anyone looking to eat here - It's black-tie mandatory otherwise, they will judge you & you will get toilet seats.

To lady with a sneer & fake eyelashes, we both were wearing costlier shoes than your minimum pay. Just because we were dressed casually does not mean we can't afford food.

To the management, train your staff to be...
