Vibes Of Manipur, Organic Manipur, Dilli Haat Food Stall No. 18 — Restaurant in New Delhi

I have been enthusiastic about the brand since 2000 when I attended a talk by Ms. Vandana Shiva at Lady Shri Ram College. She was very eloquent and spoke passionately about organic food and biodiversity. Since then I have tried to eat or grab the masala tea at the Navdanya stall in Dilli Haat. The quality of food, beverages, and service has been steadily declining while the prices have been steadily increasing. I took my husband to Navdanya in December 2019 and was appalled with both the service and the food. The pricing is outrageous for the below average food. I specifically requested the server and the cashier/ store manager to go easy on the red chillies in the saag. They said the saag is the only dish prepared from scratch, so the chef will put minimal red chillies in it if I am willing to wait for 20 minutes. However, the saag was so spicy that my mouth was burning and when I confronted the server, he said the saag was pre-made so they could not alter the spices and chillies in it. The server is such an artist of disappearance that I had to go looking for him four times to request simple things like plates, spoons, and napkins. I ate at FabCafe at the FabIndia in Lajpat Nagar a few days later and was very impressed with their food and service. I highly recommend saving a trip to Navdanya and heading to FabCafe or Dastkar for organic, healthy, and delicious food. Navdanya desperately really needs a makeover in terms of its menu and service...

When you are in Dilli Haat, you are bound to encounter food from a variety of regions in one place. There are various food stalls here and we visited the Manipur Food Stall during our visit to Dilli Haat. We had the following.

Fruit Beer is one of the must have’s when you are at the Manipur Food Stall. A beer like no other, this fruity soda is a thirst quencher and will surely rejuvenate you if you are tired walking around the many shops.

Chicken steamed momos is served with red chunteny which is quite spicy and also with a bowl of clear soup. It is best to dip the momos in the soup and add some chutney before taking a bite.

For main course we had the Chicken Thukpa, the broth was good and spicy with all the fresh vegetable nicely cut. The chicken however was half steamed and half fried and that is something I did not really enjoy. Would have been better if the meat was completely steamed.

The stall can ben dusty at times because of everything that is happening around but it sure is a decent place to stop by for some good Manipuri style food.

This place is situated inside Dilli haat and it has simple and nice ambiance. But the food in here is the best food i have ever had throughout my Delhi trip. I had one Veg Thupka and Veg Momos. The Thupka although veg was so delicious, and I have never had something so flavourful ever before. The soup was to die for and loaded with fresh vegetables. Absolutely recommend the Thupka the make. Coming to the Momos, I was expecting the regular momos available anywhere, but to my surprise they were so huge and loaded with veggies and tasted absolutely amazing, plus the momos are served with soup which I didn’t expect. Overall if you’re looking for a place where you don’t want to overspend and have amazing delicious food at the same time, then this is it. Will absolutely...
