My Delhi Indian street food chain is to open in Leeds, its fourth site, in June. The flagship restaurant in East Parade will be its first in Yorkshire.
A 6,000 square feet site, the venue will be My Delhi’s largest to date. The restaurant will feature a main dining hall, alongside a private dining room and a cocktail-led bar.
Food from the Indian capital sits at the centre of the concept – from Indo-Chinese dishes such as Cauliflower Manchurian, to tandoor cooking rooted in Old Delhi.
Alongside this, the menu features slow-cooked dishes including Emperor’s Stew, a rich nihari-style curry.
Director Elahi Shah said: “Leeds felt like the right next step for us. We’ve always focused on doing things properly, and this gives us the space to take that further. The food remains the same at its core, but the overall experience has been taken up a level. It’s a more complete version of what we’ve been building.”
My Delhi also has locations in Newcastle, Sunderland and Leicester.
