It’s our first time at Delhi House and the whole experience was superb. Our waiter ( apologies I can’t recall the name) but I do remember how friendly and professional he was - a young chap from Northern Ireland. He explained the menu to us and gave us lots of time to make our choices. The food did not disappoint it was so full of flavours and perfectly presented. We will definitely return
