With a Rubery stalwart across the road, Delhi 45 really had a challenge on its hands to deliver great tasting Indian cuisine but oh my….this place is a real gem and regardless of your culinary loyalties, you must give Dehli 45 a try !! The restaurant has a mega chilled cafe style but there is proper warmth and homely feel. The staff are amazing and whilst they portray a very relaxed vibe, you can truly tell that they are all extremely passionate about the success of this business and the quality of the food they serve. This place is not licensed but you can bring your own and there is usefully an off licence a few doors down. It is fairly small place so make sure you book on the usual weekend busy days to avoid missing out. The menu is perfectly formed and is as colourful as the food that was presented. There is so much we wanted to try but thought we would keep things simple for our first visit. We went for the mixed dish for starters as couldn’t decided what to go for. The food arrived promptly and was beautifully cooked and all elements were so flavoursome. If nothing else you must try the vegetable samosas as they are probably some of the best we have tasted. For mains we kept it simple with a Lamb Madras and North Indian Garlic Chicken served with a mushroom pilau and at their recommendation, the jungle rice. The mains were as delicious as the starter with the madras, perfectly spiced, a lovely thick sauce and large tender chunks of lamb. The North Indian Garlic chicken was also full of flavour and spice. The mushroom pilau was cooked to perfection and the Jungle rice was the real star of the show. It was vibrantly green and packed with bags of flavour thanks to the nice balance of coriander, chilli and garlic. This perfectly complimented our dishes and were so thankful of the recommendation. A Garlic nan topped off the meal and meant we didn’t waste any of the amazing sauces. I am so excited by this place and can’t wait to return. Keep an eye on their socials as they have taster fixed menu nights where they trial new dishes and you will be guaranteed something new and tasty to eat. Make sure you support local businesses like this and hopefully it will help them to continue delivering the most amazing Indian food. Let’s hope places like this will encourage others with a similar passion for good food and drink to set up home in Rubery !!
