New Delhi

The New Delhi restaurant, located at 165 Mühlenweg in the Gasperich residential area of Luxembourg, has established itself over the years as a must-visit destination for lovers of authentic Indian cuisine in the country. This family-run restaurant , owned by Raju and his team, attracts a loyal clientele comprised of both local residents and international visitors seeking flavors from the Indian subcontinent.

The restaurant offers takeaway and home delivery services, in addition to dining in . For those wishing to enjoy the warm atmosphere of the dining room, reservations are highly recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings, as the restaurant is regularly full. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, with lunch service (generally from 12:00 or 11:45 to 14:00) and dinner service (from 18:00 to 22:30), as well as Saturday evenings only.

A varied menu showcasing Indian classics

The menu at New Delhi reflects the richness of Indian cuisine , with a wide range of specialties from northern India. Among the dishes most frequently praised by regulars are Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Mixed Grill, Lamb Rogan Josh, and Dal Makhani. Those who enjoy spicy food will be drawn to Chicken Vindaloo, Lamb Madras, or Chicken Jalfrezi, while vegetarian and vegan options will be delighted by the numerous vegetable curries, Paneer Tikka Masala, Paneer Pakoras, and Aloo Gobi.

Naan breads are among the restaurant’s most popular choices. The Butter Naan, in particular, is often cited as one of the best in Luxembourg, with a soft, buttery dough that pairs perfectly with curries. The Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan, and Aloo Kulcha Naan are also highly recommended. Biryani , spicy rice dishes with meat or vegetables, are another standout.

To accompany their meal, guests can choose from a lassi (mango, salted, or plain), masala tea, or other traditional drinks. For dessert, Gulab Jamun and pistachio Kulfi are delightful ways to end the meal. The lunch menu, priced at around €14.90, offers excellent value: it includes a daily special, sides (rice and plain naan), and a scoop of ice cream.

A warm and welcoming family atmosphere

Beyond its cuisine, New Delhi distinguishes itself through the quality of its service. Owner Raju, often present in the dining room, personally attends to the well-being of his guests. Many mention being welcomed late, receiving a complimentary digestif at the end of their meal, or being offered extra rice at no charge when their plate was empty. These thoughtful touches, reminiscent of traditional Indian hospitality, create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The multilingual staff (French, English, Hindi) are very attentive to customers’ specific needs: adjusting spice levels to suit preferences, preparing onion-free sauces for those with allergies, offering vegan options from the vegetarian menu, and welcoming pets. The dining room, though modest in size, exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior is described as clean, with Asian-inspired decor that transports diners away from everyday Luxembourgish life.

Points to consider before your visit

Despite its many qualities, the New Delhi has a few drawbacks worth noting. The dining room is small, with tables and alcoves considered somewhat cramped by some customers, and the space can quickly become noisy during peak hours. The lack of a terrace is also lamented by some patrons, especially in the summer. Parking in the area can also be difficult, although there is a public parking lot nearby, which is generally free after 6:00 PM.

A few mixed experiences have been reported over the years. Some customers found certain dishes too bland or too dry, while others noted that the cheese naan lacked cheese or that some breads seemed pre-cooked. Orders placed through delivery platforms like Wolt have occasionally disappointed, with dishes described as rubbery or tasteless. A few customers also point to some inconsistency in quality from one visit to the next. These cases, however, remain a minority compared to the overall enthusiasm.

Who is the New Delhi aimed at?
