Delhi Live - East London’s Most Authentic Indian Restaurant Restaurant in Romford

Reviews

1. Swaroop Prakash ★★★★★

   Delhi live restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely great—they really made the whole dining experience wonderful. They were quick to offer recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. But the food... oh my goodness, the food is amazing and so incredibly tasty! Every dish we ordered, from the starters to the main course, was bursting with authentic flavor and perfectly prepared. This is easily some of the best Indian cuisine I’ve had recently. If you're looking for fantastic food and top-notch service, you have to try Delhi live! Highly, highly recommend.

   We went to their Diwali dinner party last week and had a gala time. The welcome drinks, canapés, starters, mains and the dessert were all delicious and plentiful. I especially liked the palak chaat starter and the lamb curry. The music was good too, with people dancing to many Indian filmi songs that I recognised. It was our second visit within two weeks and I'm so glad we discovered this family-run restaurant serving authentic North Indian dishes. I highly recommend it!

   I had an amazing experience at this restaurant with my wife! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a nice balance of comfort and style. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Portion sizes were generous, and everything came out at just the right temperature. I especially recommend chole bhature, it was outstanding!

   We ordered a Diwali lunch for our office from Delhi Live restaurant, and it was fantastic! Communication was excellent, and he worked within our budget to make it all happen. The food arrived a bit ahead of time to beat the city traffic, and everything was set up perfectly. Great portions, a friendly team, and absolutely delicious food! Our team of 50 was thrilled. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!

   I've shared two pictures, one of what a Chicken Jalfrezi should look like, the over in the container what Delhi Live chefs think it should look like. I picked up a flu, bug or something and feel terrible so thought I'd cheer myself up and burn away the germs with a nice delivery. I've ordered before so know the food is good and spicy authentic so go for my usual Chicken Jalfrezi and Lamb Madras. Food comes a few mins later than originally scheduled but that's fine I think as it will be worth it. To my horror when I open the bag I see what looks like a Korma, dairy not being a friend of mine in the dietary sense I always steer clear of anything creamy hence the choices of non creamy curries. I smell and taste and yep it does have the kick of a Jalfrezi but also that creamy texture and horrid milky brown appearance of a Korma. I'm not happy. I requested a refund from Just Eat and then called the restaurant to complain and ask if it's a new chef as this isnt how it usually comes and I've never had a Jalfrezi (even the microwave meals) like this before and never want one again. The manager was patient and listened but kept assuring me it wasn't a Korma, this much I knew already but that isn't the point as it wasn't a Jalfrezi either and that's what I ordered. With budgets tight when you treat yourself you want it to be a treat, not a trick you end up regretting and spoils the night and enjoyment. I will not be ordering from here again which is a shame as it once was a decent place to get food from but seems like things have changed.

   This is the only genuine authentic Indian Punjabi Restaurant in Romford. So close to the station on Victoria Road. Absolutely an excellent place to eat for Vegetarian or meat eating "

   We love the food at this place and have become quite frequent visitors. Unexpected find. They did use to have some flashing lights inside that really ruined the mood, but now they are off you can really concentrate on the complicated and delicate flavours the chefs create. Unassuming exterior, but trust me the food is fantastic!

   Awful, avoid at all cost, booked for 2 at lunch time, no other customers should have been a red flag, no atmosphere at all, asked for background music to eleviated the dead silence, one song played then silence again, phone rings continually but no one answered the only background noise, poor service as only 1 staff apart from chefs, poor knowledge of menu, long wait for food starter which was lacking just eatable, even the commlamentry poppadoms stale, when main arrived 1hr 10 min later looked like someone had opened bowel in bowl, did not even attempt to eat. Would definitely NOT recommend. Worst resturant experience ever Paid for drinks and starter and left ASAP

   Disappointing Kali mirch (black pepper) chicken. As you can see from the photo lacked black pepper and I'm sure there wasn't any in the dish. Rang up to tell them but they informed me that there was crushed black pepper. If the name of the dish is Kali mirch chicken then the main taste should me black pepper as it should over power any other taste/flavour. I much prefer the South Indian (Kerala) version cooked in ghee or butter where you can see and taste lots of black pepper. This was a poor show. On the flip side the hariyali chicken tikka was great and strongly recommend this as a starter as it's packed with flavour.
