Editorial


Think of Newtown and outstanding Thai, cheerful pub fare and tasty Turkish pides immediately spring to mind. But there is a new kid on the block and they're doing their thing very, very well; quickly gaining an army of ambassadors who can't stop raving about the place. Delhi 'O' Delhi is a stylish Indian restaurant on Erskineville Road, tucked one block behind the main drag. Boasting a sophisticated dining room with plush banquettes and a classy yet cosy ambience, Delhi 'O' Delhi stands apart from the more casual Indian eateries for more reasons than just good looks alone.

For one, it boasts a formidable team in chef Abul Bashar, who previously manned the pans at Oh Calcutta and host Javed Khan, who is earning a reputation as one of the most charming restaurateurs around. The menu features traditional and vibrantly flavoured Indian dishes with just the right amount of spice. The adraki lamb chops are a perfect place to start, marinated overnight in fresh spices and barbecued in the tandoor, the lamb melts in your mouth. The goat aloo simmered with potatoes and fresh coriander is a must-try dish, but leave room for the gulab jamuns with their delicate rosewater syrup for dessert. Delicious food and delightful service guarantee that you'll be back time and time again.

I guess I'm one of the 'army of ambassabors' that Amy mentioned. I love this restaurant. The range of food is superb with something for every taste, and the quality is second to none. The fish is beautifully fresh, the lamb chops are perfectly spiced and mind-blowingly tasty, and the goat melts in your mouth. Service (courtesy of Javed) is great: friendly, helpful, and quick without the feeling that you're being rushed out of the door to make space for the next customer. Great value (BYO) 10/10
