Asian Restaurants in Delhi

Asian cuisine in Delhi goes way beyond your usual sushi or noodles, and if you know where to look, the options can surprise you. You’ll find some authentic Japanese joints tucked away in Hauz Khas Village where the sushi chefs are serious about their craft, and not just about flashy presentation. And if you want Korean, check out a few spots near Saket where kimchi and bibimbap are made with care and a little homemade love.

Personally, I always lean toward Delhi’s lesser-known Asian eateries around Lajpat Nagar. There's a tiny Thai place on the second floor of a market that serves real-deal green curry that hits the right balance of spice without making you sweat buckets. Pro tip: if you’re intimidated by menus packed with unfamiliar names, ask for recommendations or the chef’s special , locals usually have good instincts.

Winter evenings are perfect for slurping hot bowls of ramen in those cozy corners of Cyber Hub in Gurugram just outside Delhi. The vibe changes with the seasons, but the buzz around good Asian food here is nonstop. So yeah, even if you’re picky, Delhi’s Asian dining spots can surprise you with flavors that feel fresh and genuinely satisfying.

A local’s inside scoop

If you’re craving Asian food in Delhi and want to skip the touristy spots, try heading to some lesser-known corners of town. For example, that tiny Thai place in Lajpat Nagar I mentioned? It’s hole-in-the-wall style, but the flavors punch way above its size. Also, winter is the best time to really enjoy hot Asian soups and broths here,places near Cyber Hub offer ramen that’s perfect for chilly nights.

One last thing: keep an eye out for small Japanese bakeries in Delhi with matcha-flavored pastries or mochi ice cream. They’re great for a sweet detour after your main meal. You'll find local spots like these sprinkled around Safdarjung Enclave and nearby markets if you know where to look.
