Quick info
About Old delhi
On Blagreaves Lane in Derby, Old Delhi is an Indian sweets shop covering both sweet boxes and street food style plates. Chole bhature, samosa chaat, and aloo tikki chaat sit alongside cheese naan and lamb saag, while the sweets counter offers gulab jamun and assorted boxes, made without eggs as confirmed by staff. It operates on a walk-in basis, with phone orders also taken for pickup on arrival, and card payment is accepted. Table chairs are set up for those who want to eat in, though most orders go out as takeaway, and a wait for food served hot is part of the routine. For events such as weddings, sweets can be ordered in bulk boxes, with delivery arranged the day before.

“We had a wonderful experience at Old Delhi Restaurant. My daughter and I visited recently. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavors.After our meal, my daughter enjoyed a Sweet (Gulab Jamun,) which were also excellent What made our visit truly special was the exceptional hospitality of Ankita, who was at the reception. As we were leaving, she surprised my daughter with a complimentary box of assorted sweets. It was such a thoughtful and kind gesture that genuinely touched our hearts. Nowadays, it's rare to meet people who go the extra mile to make customers feel so welcome. Ankita's kindness and warm smile made our experience unforgettable. Thank you, Old Delhi Restaurant, for the amazing food and outstanding customer service. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!”

“Visited Old Delhi a couple of days ago and had a wonderful experience. We tried Chole Bhature, Samosa Chaat, Spring Roll and Plain Samosa and everything was absolutely delicious with authentic Punjabi flavours. As a pure vegetarian, I asked whether their sweets contained eggs, and the staff kindly explained that they don’t use eggs in any of their sweets🤩They even treated us to complimentary Gulab Jamun, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Great food, warm hospitality, and excellent service. Highly recommended!”

“We travel from Burton every time to eat here, and we have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh. Every dish we’ve tried has been excellent, and the quality is consistently high. The sweets are amazing as well, just like the traditional sweets you get in India. Highly recommended.”

Customer Review Summary
Chole bhature draws the most praise at Old Delhi, with reviewers describing it as hot, fluffy and fresh, with Punjabi flavour and a generous portion. Close behind are the chaat, samosas and spring rolls, which several call fresh, well filled and full of visible herbs and spices. Veg manchurian, cheese naan and lamb saag each get a mention, and the sweets, including gulab jamun, are called just like those in India. One reviewer ordered sweet boxes for a wedding, and they were delivered the day before. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming. The one lukewarm account found the samosa chaat and aloo tikki chaat only ok and not as tasty as the hype, though the bread pakora and sweets were liked. Another notes a short wait for hot food. One vegetarian asked about eggs and was told none go into the sweets, and the receptionist gave a family a complimentary box of assorted sweets as they left.
