Review on Delhi Brasserie

A long-running Soho Indian that has seen many nearby restaurants come and go, the Delhi Brasserie continues to go its way with a menu of emphatically spiced, crowd-pleasing curries and skilful tandooris. The decor is warm, elegant and comforting, service is assured and the kitchen seldom falters - chef Shib Nath has been in the business for more than 25 years.

The lengthy menu lines up all the usual suspects - from chicken tikka to lamb dhansak - alongside char-grilled spiced quail, bhanta ko tukra (a cold dish of fried aubergines with yoghurt) and duck achar. Vegetable dishes are many and varied, and extras are up to the mark. Pre-show deals are handy for the theatreland crowd. There is a sister restaurant at 134 Cromwell Road, South Kensington, London SW7.
