Delhi Diner

Butter Chicken

Tender tandoor-cooked chicken in a velvety tomato-cream sauce that balances sweetness with mild spice — the crowd-pleasing benchmark dish most first-timers order

Chicken Tikka Masala

Charred chunks of marinated chicken folded into a spiced tomato gravy — richer and smokier than the butter chicken, with more assertive spicing

Lamb Biryani

Fragrant basmati layered with slow-cooked halal lamb and whole spices — the halal certification makes this a standout draw for diners who can't easily find it elsewhere in the East Bay

Saag Paneer

Creamed spinach with housemade fresh cheese — hearty, well-spiced, and one of the better vegetarian anchors on the menu

Samosa

Crispy pastry filled with spiced potatoes and peas — a reliable starter, best eaten hot with the accompanying chutneys

Garlic Naan

Slightly charred flatbread with a buttery, garlicky finish — a table staple that holds up well for scooping thick curries

Dal Makhani

Slow-cooked black lentils in a buttery, slightly smoky sauce — a vegetarian workhorse that rewards the kitchen's patience
