Old Delhi Grills Hotel has become a favorite spot for me, especially when dining with my friend from Delhi. The food is consistently great, and the ambiance brings an authentic touch that enhances the entire experience. Here’s a detailed look at what makes this place stand out:
Butter Naan: The butter naan here is some of the best in the city. Soft, perfectly fluffy, and generously brushed with butter, it’s a delicious accompaniment to any curry or chicken dish. Each piece comes fresh from the tandoor, with a light crisp on the edges that’s perfect for scooping up sauce.
Chicken Lollipop: Their chicken lollipop is a standout – crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The balance of spice and tangy seasoning makes it one of the best appetizers on the menu and a perfect way to start any meal.
Afghani Chicken: The Afghani Chicken is wonderfully tender, with a creamy, mild spice that pairs perfectly with the butter naan. The smoky, char-grilled flavors are a highlight, and the marinade brings out a deep, rich taste. Definitely one to try for anyone who appreciates bold, authentic flavors.
Changezi Chicken: Rich and hearty, the Changezi Chicken has a thick, mildly spiced sauce with an authentic depth of flavor. It’s excellent with either naan or rice, making it a satisfying, comfort-food option. The spices are balanced just right, creating a unique flavor experience you won’t want to miss.
Seating Area & Ambience: One of the unique aspects of Old Delhi Grills Hotel is the special seating area that offers a traditional dining experience reminiscent of a Muslim home. It’s designed to create a cozy, homely atmosphere where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your meal in comfort. The setup is fantastic and gives an authentic, cultural touch that makes dining here feel even more special.
Service: The service is friendly and efficient. The staff is attentive, always ready to assist, and they make every guest feel welcomed. They also add a fun twist by organizing a lottery for customers who spend above ₹500 – a small but engaging incentive that keeps things interesting.
Demerits: Washroom Facilities: One area for improvement is the washroom facilities. There isn’t a well-maintained or spacious washroom area, which can be inconvenient for customers. A better, cleaner washroom setup would make the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall: Despite the washroom limitations, Old Delhi Grills Hotel delivers an authentic dining experience with exceptional food, friendly service, and a unique seating area that enhances the traditional vibe. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food in a cozy, cultural setting – and don’t miss the lottery if you’re...
Read moreIf you have been to the Afghani restaurants in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi you will feel that vibe, the sitting dining area is just like that...got to know that it needs to be pre-booked to dine in that area ...with beautiful chandeliers, you will definitely feel the Old Delhi vibe.
Now the food part, every time I dine here, the food seems to be inconsistent . The other day, the momo chutney was bland and some other day too hot chutney ..but overall, momos tasted good unlike other places. I was in love with their mojito when I visited for the first time,however in the second visit it was disappointing, who puts black salt in a mojito 🙄 it was a shikanji not mojito ...food is ok ... Quick service.
Also, when it comes to cleanliness, it was disappointing. Please maintain some hygiene.
