The Embassy

A place left untouched by the modern era, Embassy at Civil Lines, North Delhi is a restaurant frozen in time. The geriatric servers and décor belonging to 1960’s Embassy has managed to retain the vintage feel. One of the oldest restaurants in New Delhi it has withstood the currents of time and changing tastes of people. In the age of trendy and swanky places Embassy has not changed very much. The old furniture, bare floors, design all remind us of the establishments decades old. The regulars come pouring in the evenings and are seated on their usual tables. The restaurant serves multi-cuisine so you will find lot of variety with good old favourites. Take your parents to this place sometime. They will love it for sure and will tell you loads of amusing stories. The taste remains the same after all these years. The consistency of quality maintains the popularity of the restaurant.

Step into the era with some fantastic appetizers. Corn seekh kebab, tandoori paneer, murgh malai tikka, mutton gilafi, amritsari macchi, shami kebab, creamy mushroom on toast, jalapenos poppers, Cajun dusted onion rings, mezze platter, chicken pakora and tandoori stuffed aloo taste divine. Usage of the best of ingredients makes the mains too enticing. The fragrant curries and well-seasoned sauces enhances the proteins and vegetables it is combined with. Mutter mushroom, paneer lababdar, dum aloo, chicken rara, dal meat, kofta nargis, paneer achari, murg mussallam, brain curry, dahi meat are some of the spiciest indian curries they cook. Continental mains like bomb de moscova and chicken supreme are praiseworthy too. The basket of indian breads will support the meal with their flakiness and crispy goodness. Sandwiches, soups and salads will offer a reprieve from the curries.

Embassy has gained wisdom in age so it has kept its dessert menu short and sweet. The classics like brownie, kulfi faluda, fruit salad & cream, crème a la embassy, gulab jamun and ice creams have made the dessert part a crowd favourite.
