Best authentic Indian food we’ve had in the Richmond area, and very reasonably priced too. The menu has so much variety and is great for sharing. There is a relaxed but classy atmosphere along with warm, attentive service. Will absolutely be coming again!

We decided to come here after we had walked past a couple of times. The food was excellent. We had starters, mains and dessert because we loved the food so much. Very authentic and freshly made. Then we also discovered the cocktail menu and it was amazing. The cocktails all have Indian twists and use lots of Indian spirits. They were amazing. We had such a great time and the service was excellent. We were chatting to everyone and they took great care of us. I’d highly recommend coming here for the food or even just the cocktails (2 for 1 before 7pm)

We had a wonderful experience at Delhi Social tonight! The food was unexpectedly spectacular! I love Indian food and am always looking for authentic flavours and dishes; Delhi social really hit the nail on the head. The pork vindaloo was incredibly rich and had a beautiful spiciness to it. The aubergines were Smokey and delicious. My mum loved the soft shell crab and I will definitely order the puri again! Chef came out to check on us which was lovely, and all the staff were really nice. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Delhi Social!

I had my wedding meal and celebrations at Delhi Social and it was fantastic! We got married at York House and it was just a short walk from there to Delhi Social which was very convenient for us and all of our guests. We hired the whole restaurant, which made for a lovely venue - there's plenty of space for everyone to walk around and mingle. There was space in front of the bar for dancing and an enclosed outdoor space with tables and chairs which lots of the guests enjoyed, especially the kids who had plenty of space to move about. The food was delicious and service brilliant. Couldn't fault it and all our guests - Indian and white - loved the food! In the lead up to the wedding, communication with Avi was seamless. Dealing with Avi was actually the least stressful part of organising the wedding. In fact, not stressful at all. That's a huge win. We were very happy with the flexibility on the menu, when selecting dishes, to ensure that menu items were best suited to our guests. We were also able to provide Avi with our own playlist. We ended up trusting Avi with the music because we've always enjoyed the acoustic background music that's been playing when we had previously enjoyed meals at Delhi Social. Overall, we are really pleased we were able to secure our wedding meal at Delhi Social. My husband and I had explored every single restaurant and pub in the area to hold our wedding meal and Delhi Social won on all grounds - delicious food, wide array of menu choices, ease of booking and sorting out details, great communication, large venue space, excellent location close to York House and Orleans House Gallery. And the other bonus - we will get to enjoy many, many more meals at Delhi Social and always remember it as the place we enjoyed our wedding meal! I'm so glad we trusted Delhi Social with our wedding celebrations. Thank you Avi, Maneesh and the rest of the brilliant staff for a fantastic celebration!

We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday at Delhi Social last night. What a great venue. There were 20 of us in the function space at the back which has a great atmosphere and is very private. The food was exceptional and lamb was very tender. Catered very well for vegetarians too. Service was excellent, all the staff were friendly and efficient and no request was too much. They managed our big group very well. There was a particularly lovely lady, I forgot to ask her name, she is 27 but looks way younger. She had a smile for us all evening and was very attentive. Thank you Delhi Social for helping us make memories.

After a rejuvenating visit to Richmond Park on a sunny Sunday, my family and I decided to try out Delhi Social, an Indian restaurant in Richmond. Our group of eleven was lucky to secure a last-minute booking, and we arrived eager and hungry. Our experience at Delhi Social was nothing short of exceptional, from the delightful ambiance to the impressive culinary offerings.

The restaurant's decor strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and traditional charm. Warm, inviting lighting and comfortable seating create a cozy atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and promptly seated us at a spacious table, accommodating our large group with ease.

The menu at Delhi Social is extensive, offering a plethora of choices that cater to a variety of tastes. From classic Indian dishes to innovative creations, the selection is vast. As a family with diverse preferences, we appreciated the variety available, which ensured everyone found something to their liking.

We started our culinary journey with a range of appetizers, including succulent tandoori prawns, crispy samosas, and flavorful paneer tikka. Each dish was impeccably prepared, bursting with authentic flavors that showcased the skill and creativity of the kitchen. The tandoori prawns, in particular, were a highlight – perfectly cooked with a smoky char and a blend of spices that tantalized the taste buds.

For the main course, we opted for a variety of dishes to share, allowing us to sample a broad spectrum of flavors. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, with tender pieces of chicken enveloped in a luscious tomato-based sauce. The lamb rogan josh was another standout, with the meat cooked to perfection, melting in the mouth while delivering a robust and aromatic flavor. Vegetarians in our group were equally pleased with the selection, especially the palak paneer, which featured fresh spinach and soft paneer cheese in a beautifully spiced gravy.

One of the highlights of our visit was meeting the chef and owner, Manish, who graciously took the time to give us a quick tour of the kitchen. Manish's passion for his craft was evident as he explained the unique techniques they use to prepare their dishes. Unlike many other Indian restaurants, Delhi Social uses traditional spices but employs different cooking methods to enhance the depth and complexity of the flavors. This attention to detail and commitment to authenticity truly sets them apart.

The service throughout our meal was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our water glasses were always full and promptly attending to any requests. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to accommodate special dietary needs made the dining experience smooth and enjoyable.

In addition to the excellent food and service, the overall dining experience at Delhi Social was further enriched by the personal touch from Manish. His enthusiasm and dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience were evident and greatly appreciated.

In conclusion, Delhi Social is a gem in Richmond that offers an authentic and innovative Indian dining experience. With a vast menu, top-notch service, and a personal touch from the chef and owner, it is a place we will undoubtedly revisit soon. Whether you are an aficionado of Indian cuisine or new to its delights, Delhi Social promises a memorable meal that will leave you eager for your next visit.
