Delhi House Cafe, a favourite in Manchester, is expanding to open in Liverpool this month.
Set in The Royal Albert Dock, Delhi House, which is owned and run by a family from Delhi, hopes to introduce a true taste of Modern Indian dining and authentic Delhi flavours to the city.
Having relocated from Delhi to Manchester in 2020, Varendra Lamba and his wife Rajinder, their son Sherry and daughter in law Preen, joined forces to create Delhi House Cafe that opened in August 2020 in the Corn Exchange.
With 280 covers in Manchester, Delhi House Cafe quickly became known for its delicious, flavourful dishes, buzzing atmosphere and modern interiors.
Arriving in Liverpool on 17 September, Delhi House will be open everyday for lunch and dinner, sharing the true taste of Delhi; from flavour combinations to expertly made Indian delicacies.
Preen Lamba, 29, Manager and Head of Marketing, explained: “Myself and my family are from Delhi, the food capital of India and we want to transport our diners to this exciting, bustling and experiential city, delivering the most wonderful experience of modern Indian dining that they haven’t seen before. Meanwhile, we’ll also be sharing the knowledge and expertise that goes into creating authentic Indian food.
“When we opened in Manchester almost five years ago, we couldn’t have imagined how well Delhi House Cafe would be received. In September 2023, we set our sights on expanding to the beautiful city of Liverpool which is the perfect next location for us because of its culture and the friendly nature of people here.
“We really believe that there is a gap in the market for Indian food in Liverpool and the dishes that we’ll offer at Delhi House. Our goal is to transport our guests so that they feel as though they’re dining in a restaurant in Delhi. We want to change the common preconception that Indian food is for hangovers, that it’s curries from a takeaway courier, or that it’s just unhealthy. True authentic Indian cuisine is so much more than that.”
Preen, along with her family, take care of all aspects of Delhi House, with the help of their wonderful team. Varendra is Head of Expansion, Interiors and Development, Rajinder is Head of the Kitchen and all recipes are created by her. Sherry, 30, is Chef Patron and Head of Operations and Preentakes care of Marketing and Managing the venues.
With space for 120 diners, Delhi House will open on 17 September at The Royal Albert Dock. Follow @delhihousecafe on Instagram for info and updates.
