New Delis (Holborn)

• Our first dish of Bhel Puri Chaat was a revelation
• Date and tamarind chutney were served on very thin
• A flavor combination I associate more with Northern Thailand than India
• Crisp potato filled samosa dressed in yoghurt and sweetened with a drizzle of date and tamarind syrup
• BBQ broccoli was another standout dish for me
• The only dish I would not order again was the Aubergine Salan
• The founder recently decided to revamp the whole menu and create new innovative dishes with seasonal special menus
• Lentils and warming spices served with a baby naan bread
• New Delis (Holborn) is not too crowded so can relax peacefully after work
• The service is bit slow and at times the dishes are quiet spicy but too tasty
• They were high on spices and menu was full of Indian options which we were looking since many days
• We ended up with all the space available in tables full of some or other Indian dishes
• I ordered the Pav Bhaji however was truly disappointed with the Pav
• S a regular toasted burger bun and is totally not worth the price
• How can one of the most delightful dish from India be served with a burger bun
