With a Rubery stalwart across the road, Delhi 45 really had a challenge on its hands to deliver great tasting Indian cuisine but oh myā¦.this place is a real gem and regardless of your culinary loyalties, you must give Dehli 45 a try !!
The restaurant has a mega chilled cafe style but there is proper warmth and homely feel. The staff are amazing and whilst they portray a very relaxed vibe, you can truly tell that they are all extremely passionate about the success of this business and the quality of the food they serve. This place is not licensed but you can bring your own and there is usefully an off licence a few doors down. It is fairly small place so make sure you book on the usual weekend busy days to avoid missing out.
The menu is perfectly formed and is as colourful as the food that was presented. There is so much we wanted to try but thought we would keep things simple for our first visit. We went for the mixed dish for starters as couldnāt decided what to go for. The food arrived promptly and was beautifully cooked and all elements were so flavoursome. If nothing else you must try the vegetable samosas as they are probably some of the best we have tasted.
For mains we kept it simple with a Lamb Madras and North Indian Garlic Chicken served with a mushroom pilau and at their recommendation, the jungle rice. The mains were as delicious as the starter with the madras, perfectly spiced, a lovely thick sauce and large tender chunks of lamb. The North Indian Garlic chicken was also full of flavour and spice. The mushroom pilau was cooked to perfection and the Jungle rice was the real star of the show. It was vibrantly green and packed with bags of flavour thanks to the nice balance of coriander, chilli and garlic. This perfectly complimented our dishes and were so thankful of the recommendation. A Garlic nan topped off the meal and meant we didnāt waste any of the amazing sauces.
I am so excited by this place and canāt wait to return. Keep an eye on their socials as they have taster fixed menu nights where they trial new dishes and you will be guaranteed something new and tasty to eat.
Make sure you support local businesses like this and hopefully it will help them to continue delivering the most amazing Indian food. Letās hope places like this will encourage others with a similar passion for good food and drink to set up home...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is my second disappointing order. The first time I was sent a starter with undercooked chicken, which I will say, was dealt with straight away. I was offered a 50% discount if I chose to go back again and half my money back. I wasnāt going to return but as Iād had good service in the past, I thought Iād give them another go as surely theyād be better this time round knowing the mistake which was made prior. Unfortunately, the service second time round was poor. We were sent the wrong food and I was missing my main and starter. I had already waited 2 hours for our food and I might add it was Motherās Day, and my food didnāt arrive along with my families. My starter and main eventually arrived but everyone had eaten and so as you can imagine, I was truly disappointed. I will not be returning to Delhi 45 as I believe the service is not adequate. I have never left a bad review before but I feel I have to share my experience. I am still debating whether I take the raw chicken incident further but hopefully this review will make the owners realise that all is not good with their service as it stands right now and changes...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI went to try Delhi 45 last Wednesday with a group of close friends. The service from the staff member was excellent. I cannot fault him. The atmosphere was good and the food came out on time. Time flew by owing to the great company I was in. I had a chaplli kebab for starters. I was a little disappointed because a chaplli kebab is supposed to have some size to it but when it arrived it was more like the kebabs you would cook at home with mutton mince and spices. It was a little dry and hard. I had lamb with spinach for my main. The meat was tender and enjoyable but the spinach was in long strands and tasted a little weird. I will pick something different next time. My friends enjoyed their food and the lamb keema was really tasty which I had a taste of. All in all a good evening owing to the company I was in and...
