Spanish Restaurants in Delhi

Spanish cuisine isn’t what you’d typically expect to stumble upon in Delhi, but believe me, it’s slowly making its mark. Places like Social in Hauz Khas have a few solid tapas dishes that’ll remind you of a street bar in Barcelona more than a Delhi café. And if you’re hunting for paella, try Otóh in Khan Market. It’s the kind of spot where the saffron-infused rice actually tastes close to what you’d get in Spain , and the wine list’s not an afterthought either.

One thing I’ve noticed is that Spanish restaurants in Delhi often blend in small local twists, so don’t be surprised if the chorizo has a bit of spice you didn’t expect, or the sherry-based sauces come with a tiny hint of masala. That’s Delhi for you. My advice? Ask for the chef’s recommendation. Sometimes they’ll whip up something off-menu or suggest a lesser-known classic that’s worth trying. Oh, and weekdays tend to be quieter; you can actually get a seat and chat without shouting over loud music or crowds.

A quick chat about Spanish eats in Delhi

If you’re serious about tasting Spanish food in Delhi, don’t expect large chains or tons of options yet. It’s a niche scene, mostly tucked inside multi-cuisine places or trendy cafés. One local favorite for a cozy night out is Social in Hauz Khas,they pull off decent tapas and have a good vibe without being pretentious. Khan Market is a hotspot too, especially for paella, so keep an eye out for Otóh’s menu changes. And my sneaky tip? Join their weekday happy hours or do a late lunch visit to avoid the crowds and catch some chef specials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Spanish food spots in Delhi? Here’s some local insight.

Most places mix a little Indian twist into their dishes to suit local tastes, but spots like Otóh try pretty hard to keep it authentic, especially with classics like paella and sangria.

Social in Hauz Khas does tapas and Spanish wines well, and it’s got a more relaxed vibe than upscale restaurants. Great for a casual evening out.

Yes, though Spanish cuisine can be meat-heavy, places like Otóh and some chapters of Social have vegetarian tapas, often based on seasonal veggies or cheeses.

In my experience, paella tends to be a weekend or special menu item rather than a daily special. Calling ahead helps so you won’t be disappointed.

Not very common, but some restaurants serve classics like crema catalana or churros. They’re worth trying if you spot them on the menu.
