Delhi Social

I have written previously about the background to Delhi Social and its head chef Manish Sharma.

At this meal I tried a new starter, a pair of guinea fowl samosas (£9). These were very enjoyable, the pastry casing being crisp and the minced guinea fowl flavour working well with the spices it had been cooked with (14/20). Tandoori lamb chop (£11) with onions and mooli raita was excellent, the meat cooked pink, the chop generous in size, and the marinade lovely (15/20). Fish tikka (£15) used monkfish and had excellent texture, the fish being carefully cooked (15/20).

Methi chicken (£13.50) had tender chicken and plenty of fenugreek flavour (15/20). Aloo gobi (£7) was particularly good tonight. It retained the texture of the potatoes and cauliflower really well and had deep, complex flavour from the spices (15/20 pushing 16/20). Garlic naan (£4) had soft, supple texture, and arrived piping hot (14/20).

 Service was very good indeed. The bill came to £56 per person with beer to drink. This was another fine meal at Delhi Social, whose food actually outperforms many much fancier restaurants in central London.
