AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers praise My Delhi's keema naan as the standout dish, with the overall vibe being warmly satisfying and authentically spiced comfort food.
“The keema naan is a naan stuffed with loads of spiced minced meat (keema), cooked in the tandoor at astronomical temperatures. It's then brushed with garlic butter. The amount of meat inside is insane. Dipping it in the butter chicken sauce is absolute madness.”

My Delhi is an Indian street food restaurant in Sunderland serving authentic Delhi-style dishes like aloo tikki chaat, Aslam tandoori chicken, butter chicken, keema naan, and cauliflower Manchurian — some of the best Indian food I've ever had, with flavors operating on a different stratosphere.
Dishes mentioned
Aloo Tikki Chaat
The aloo tikki chaat is a traditional Delhi street food. It's a potato patty cooked in ghee on a griddle, smashed like a smash burger, served on a base of chickpeas with tangy sweet and sour sauces. It's a sensory overload — the flavors are operating on a different stratosphere. It has a nice kick to it.
Aslam Tandoori Chicken
The Aslam tandoori chicken is from Old Delhi — tandoori chicken cooked with butter on the grill so it gets smoky and stays moist. Then it's finished with a charcoal effect to give it that authentic bonfire smokiness. The chicken is on the bone, which is rare in curry houses. The smokiness is incredible — it tastes like you came out of a bonfire. This dish is sending me under.
Butter Chicken
This is the 50-year-old traditional authentic Delhi-style original butter chicken. It's a tomato-based creamy sauce with butter and cream, and pieces of tandoori chicken. The sauce is rich and smooth, and the chicken is incredibly soft. The flavor is out of this world — this has to be some of the best Indian food I've ever had.
Keema Naan
The keema naan is a naan stuffed with loads of spiced minced meat (keema), cooked in the tandoor at astronomical temperatures. It's then brushed with garlic butter. The amount of meat inside is insane. Dipping it in the butter chicken sauce is absolute madness.
Cauliflower Manchurian
I normally don't like cauliflower, but this cauliflower Manchurian converted me. It's an Indo-Chinese dish — the cauliflower is cooked with a Manchurian sauce that is tangy and spicy. It tastes incredible, unlike any cauliflower I've ever had. The flavors are on a different level.
