Dilli Restaurant

Located at Stamford Road in Altrincham, Dilli is the first Ayurvedic restaurant outside London. If you are looking for a 'cheap and finger licking buffet' you would be disappointed with Dilli as it caters to the upmarket, discerning connoisseur of truly traditional Indian food.

Ayurveda is the traditional Indian science with five thousand year old wisdom for healthy eating and longevity. Based on Ayurveda's tenet of 'you are what you eat', all the food in Dilli is wholesome vintage Indian cuisine of freshly cooked food.

Start your meal with the kebab platter, an assortment of vegetarian or meat and fish kebabs chargrilled to perfection and served with mint chutney. Their batakh samosa with a sautéed duck meat filling is served with a sweet and sour chutney. Those less adventurous could try the dilli ki aloo tikki which are shallow fried patties of mashed potatoes with a crushed green pea filling, or the selection of crisp, batter fried vegetables.

Their tandoori fare has shell-on tiger prawn matured in yoghurt marinade and chargrilled and methi machchi tikkas or chunks of salmon delicately flavoured with fenugreek. The Allepey seafood curry from the coast of Kerala has mixed seafood in coconut milk and the thaaravu roast is tender breast of duck prepared in the Chettinad style. For a touch of Hyderabadi cuisine, you could try the mirch baingan ka salan which has baby aubergines and chillies cooked in a peanut and yoghurt gravy. Of course, there are the exotic lentils cooked to perfection in dal makhani or dal tadka.

These preparations can be relished, based on your taste, with a variety of Indian breads and a mild or spicy rice main course. If you wish to have a snack instead of a meal, do try their range of rolls and sandwiches. Don't forget to complement your food with their range of wines and beer.

Visit Dilli for an enjoyable and memorable experience.
