10 Things You Didn’t Know About Us




 Here's the list -
  1. "By The Way" in our name comes due to our proximity to "Kellett Way"
  2. Look closely at the top image in our logo...we have kept Delhi Parliament House on Plate!
  3. Our owner, Susheel Kumar, personally designed our logo & table mats
  4. Samosa is our most popular entrée & party snack. On side note, its a favourite of Mrs of Susheel Kumar as well!
  5. The upstairs area belongs to our restaurant only. Many patrons get surprised when they become aware of that 
  6. We do listen to our customers - having incorporated few of their ideas in every aspect including addition of favourite menu items. So, next time please let us know what can be done better
  7. We happily use Goat Cheese in our Indian entrée - Ghilafi Kebab. That's innovative to Indian taste and cooking
  8. Most of the paintings in our premises are framed by our owner, Susheel Kumar. Yes, he is "jack of few trades"
  9. The "Hukka" kept near the fire place actually belongs to Susheel Kumar's father.

7 Reasons To Love Traditional Indian Thali

(Photo Credit: See.Taste.Do)
 
Thali (Hindi for “the plate”) is a complete meal in itself - given that it is a selection of variety of dishes. Each region in India boasts of a thali comprising of the regional dishes. For example, North Indian Thali, South Indian Thali, Rajasthani thali, Gujarati thali and Maharashtrian thali.
 
Delhi By The Way serves up Vegetarian and Non-vegetarian North Indian Thali for Lunch.  Did you know that it is often said in India that you can judge the quality of a restaurant by the thalis they make!
 
We give you 7 reasons why Indians love this classic. 
  1. Traditional Indian Meal served at Home - much closer to Indian food culture than any other singled out dish
  2. 6 different flavours - sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy on one single plate
  3. Portion control to avoid overeating and ensure nutritional balance
  4. Pickles and chutneys are included to aid digestion
  5. Salad acts as palate cleanser
  6. Let your Mom / Kitchen decide which curries are good for you - take the guesswork out
  7. Try many dishes at the same time and much lesser price as compared to a la carte - great when you are new to Indian food and haven't yet picked your favourite dishes
