Delhi Dhaba — Restaurant in Zone 9 Teynampet

Delhi Dhaba has been around for several years in Chennai yet until recently I haven't dined there. I am given to believe that they have done some remodeling recently and it is a favorite place to visit for my host and his family. The place is wide and clean, with quirky dhaba elements and caricatures of Indian movie stars.

We ended up ordering a vegetarian platter to share, and I particularly loved the mushroom and the paneer tikka. The paneer was soft, though it needed a little more marination for the flavours to seep through to the core.

For mains we ordered dal, a vegetable jalfrezi and a paneer butter masala, with an assortment of rotis. The vegetable jalfrezi was my absolute favourite, it had a nice punch that went with my tandoori rotis.

After the starter platter and the mains, we hardly had any space for dessert, it was a good meal with...

Tried Veg | Food taste was good |

Malai Kofta * Roti ** Veg Pulao ** Chilli Gobi * Many tried North Indian Thali but they didn’t show in the menu

Went around 3 pm on Sunday |Waiting Time was around 20mins | I felt that they Could have managed it better | 5 mins for giving the menu and 10mins for collecting the order | Service was average |

Since it was around 4 pm to complete our lunch, they asked to pay the bill before completing lunch (Card payment one hand and spoon in other hand -Looked Awkward) and continuously they came every 2 mins to tell sir it is 4 pm closing time

I can understand their work timings but I had to leave my quarter plate without eating

I had bad experience with Service

Food is good and atmosphere is also good | Two people personally spent 1100

Verdict: Try if you don’t have...

Delhi Dhaba is a North Indian restaurant situated above Amaravati and owned by the same. It’s probably one of the only few north Indian places that serves both veg and non veg that I know.

Their chicken tikka masala is good. The chicken is tender and fresh. Honey chili potato is also nice and made less spicy to request. Their other curries are nothing special- normal PBM, extremely sweet Shahi paneer , and oily dum aloo. Kadai paneer is good

Tried their lunch thali once, food is quite oily, biryani is just tomato rice, but it’s probably decent value at its price. Loved the aloo curry.

They have a variety of Indian and Chinese starters and mains. Nothing special but it’s good

Ambience is fascinating with caricatures of film stars and a very North Indian theme, I like the concept. Servers...
