Delhi House Cafe

Found in Manchester’s bustling city centre, Delhi House Cafe is a contemporary cafe-meets-restaurant Indian concept that doubles up as an event venue, available for either partial or exclusive hire.

The restaurant sits inside a Grade II listed building that has oodles of charm, and the team here have brought the space bang up to date with contemporary decor elements such as hanging wicker lanterns, verdant foliage dangling from the ceiling and plenty of cosy banquette seating so that guests can get comfortable. The venue also benefits from an abundance of natural daylight thanks to large windows, which offer a view overlooking the manicured gardens of Manchester Cathedral from certain vantage points. During the warmer summer months, make use of the street-side terrace for casual drinks receptions with cocktails and canapes.

The team at Delhi House Cafe are able to accommodate all manner of corporate or personal occasions, ranging from business functions and board meetings to birthday parties and family reunions. For those looking to hire the venue partially, there are two semi-private spaces to choose from; the first is the Corporate Area on the restaurant’s first floor, which comes complete with its own private bar and full access to Delhi House Cafe’s extensive menu of traditional and modern Indian food (think everything from snacky street food dishes to hearty, filling biryanis). The Corporate Area can welcome a maximum of 30 guests for a sit-down meal and up to 50 guests for an informal standing event.

The second semi-private space available to hire is the Lounge, which can host up to 20 guests at one time for either a formal sit-down meal or a casual standing reception. Delhi House Cafe benefits from a plum location in the city centre, close by to accessible transport links, while those looking to host a large-scale function can hire out the venue in its entirety.
