Delhi House Cafe

Tried Delhi House Cafe for the first time and really enjoyed the food. The lamb biryani was excellent, with tender meat, fragrant rice, and a very well-balanced use of spices. The butter chicken was also delicious, especially paired with a garlic naan. We sat outside, which was very comfortable, but the service could be improved significantly. When we asked for a chair or stool to place our coats, the server said we couldn’t use any additional chairs and didn’t offer an alternative solution. A bit more thoughtfulness would have made the experience much better.

I recently visited Delhi House Café in Manchester and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. I ordered the Kadhai Masala Paneer, and it was truly delicious, one of the best paneer dishes I’ve had in a long time. The paneer was soft and perfectly cooked, and the masala had a rich, well-balanced depth of flavour with just the right amount of heat. Every bite felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the cooking.

The restaurant itself has a warm, modern feel, blending contemporary interiors with hints of Indian design that make it both stylish and welcoming. The staff were attentive, friendly, and happy to make recommendations, which added to the overall experience without being intrusive.

What stood out most was how the café manages to offer traditional Indian flavours with a slightly modern twist, familiar yet exciting. Portion sizes were generous, and the food arrived promptly, making it a great choice whether you’re stopping by for a quick meal or settling in for a relaxed dinner.

Overall, Delhi House Café is a must-visit if you’re in Manchester and craving high-quality Indian food. I’ll definitely be returning.

We visited on a Friday evening around 6:30 pm and sat outside the main restaurant area (still under cover). The atmosphere was lively but comfortable. The staff were genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish — nothing was too much trouble, and we got a table exactly where we wanted.
I had the butter chicken tikka with basmati rice, and my friend went for the chicken biryani — both dishes were excellent. Along with our drinks, the total came to about £45, which felt very fair for the quality and service.
Only small downside: the toilets are upstairs, though there’s a disabled toilet available downstairs. Other than that, it’s a solid five-star experience — great food, great service, and a lovely place to spend an evening in the heart of Manchester.

Tried the Dahi Poori, Tandoori Lamb Loin Chops, Moradabadi Chicken Biryani and  Mango Lassi.  Everything tasted delicious.  If l was to nitpick I’d have liked a little more lamb for a £15.95 starter.  Service was attentive. Definitely try the Biryani one of the better variants.

Delhi House Cafe won my heart over with their food and by the sweet gesture on my birthday (upon request by a family member that I was unaware of) which they beautifully presented on plate; I absolutely loved it!

The food was so good, perhaps one of the best spots i’ve come across in recent times. The ambience is nice & floral and I quite liked the mint-cucumber water which is readily available on the table.

I loved having Crispy Corn Chaat, Sesame Honey Chilli Potatoes, Vada Pav Sliders and the Moradabadi Chicken Biryani (which was really flavourful & totally lip-smacking) at this restaurant. I did enjoy my birthday lunch here. The service is good, though can pick up pace; attentive otherwise.

Thank You Delhi House Cafe for the food & experience at Manchester City Centre. Looking forward to dining in the future too :)
