About Nu Delhi Restaurant Lounge
Nu Delhi sits on Great Victoria Street near St George's Market, a restaurant that's clearly doing something right—2,220 reviews at 4.5 stars don't happen by accident. It's a sit-down operation with a bar, cocktail list that reviewers won't shut up about, and a kitchen that's making Indian food that's landing better than most places charge for. The room's described as cosy and trendy, full on a Wednesday night, the kind of place where staff know what they're doing (one reviewer specifically named Mostafa for making the evening). You'll find the usual suspects—butter chicken, tikka—but they're also doing things like masala chips and duck tikka that reviewers are comparing favourably to Indian restaurants across multiple cities. Takeaway's available if you can't sit in, and they've got a tuk-tuk outside that people are apparently having photos taken in front of, which tells you something about the vibe. No online menu, but the kitchen's flexible enough that reviewers mention "interesting options if you want something different."
What Stands Out
Food that stands up to real comparison
"Probably the best Indian food we've ever eaten" and "easily makes the top 3 in our list" from someone who visits Indian restaurants in every city. Specific dishes mentioned: Duck Tikka described as "exceptional," Punjabi butter chicken, masala chips, garlic cheese naan all singled out by name.
Service that's genuinely attentive, not performative
"The staff are so attentive" appears across multiple reviews. One reviewer noted the host took their order name and returned with food "a short time later." Named individual staff member (Mostafa) for making the dining experience "even more enjoyable."
Atmosphere that works for groups, couples, and solo diners
Google attributes list it as popular for lunch, dinner, and solo dining. Reviews mention "amazing experience" with 16 work colleagues, "homey dinner" for pairs, and "tranquil" setting despite being full. Described as "casual," "cosy," "romantic," and "trendy."
