New Delis brings diners that home-style flavour through trusted family recipes and took a new approach to make it more appealing for the London market, changing the game for Indian curry houses – think authentic Indian cuisine prepared in new and exciting ways that follow modern street food trends in the Capital.
Find the quirky site in Holborn with mismatched but brightly coloured chairs, cutlery served in colourful tins and a wooden-panelled bar smack bang in the middle of this cosy restaurant. Open for lunch and dinner, stop by for traditional Indian dishes packed with spices and enjoy the ultimate comfort food in this relaxed restaurant environment. The menu boasts a wide selection of grills, your favourite korma, masala and jalfrezi curries, samosas, bhajis, and all the sides you would expect from your local curry house, such as poppadum, naan, hot pickle and chutneys.
Start with New Delis’ famous dish, the Bombay slider: a spicy potato filled deep-fried dumpling that is sandwiched between burger buns, also known as a vada pav. For your mains, find something from the grill including wings-on-fire, a lamb kebab and a barbecued broccoli for a cheesy and spicy vegetarian dish. We also love the look of Mum’s chicken curry, a wholesome dish inspired by home-grown family recipes that warms the tum. Another great choice is the Dum Biryani, a house special with a choice of lamb, chicken or vegetarian options and served with a cool and creamy cucumber raita to take the edge off.
The Indian restaurant’s meals are available to order in, offering takeaway and a food delivery service to those in the area. The curry house caters for vegans and vegetarians by transforming many of the dishes into vegetarian options and having specific vegetarian and vegan menus filled with healthy and fresh Indian delicacies. During the week, New Delis offers a takeout lunch box special with a vegan five bean lentil curry or a medium spiced chicken curry with basmati rice.
