Royal Indian Dining

I recently went to Singh Sahib for lunch, and it turned into one of those long, satisfying meals where every course naturally flowed into the next. The restaurant offers a royal-inspired North Indian dining experience in Delhi, and that influence comes through not only in the food, but also in the interiors and overall atmosphere.

We started with beverages, and each one brought something completely different to the table. The Lotus Biscoff Shake was rich, creamy, and indulgent with the comforting flavor of caramel, vanilla ice cream, and Biscoff cookies blended together beautifully. The Berry Kala Khatta had a refreshing sweet-and-tangy kick with blueberry, mint, and chat masala, while the Neelu felt tropical and light with pineapple juice and coconut cream.

The lunch then moved into chaats, which honestly became one of the highlights of the meal. We tried dishes like the Singh Sahib Signature Dahi Bhalla, which was soft, comforting, and balanced beautifully with sweet and tangy chutneys. The chaats carried familiar Indian flavors while still feeling refined and thoughtfully presented.

Since we wanted to try a larger variety from the menu, we requested the team to serve several dishes in smaller portions, which made the entire experience much more enjoyable. It allowed us to comfortably move through different courses and flavors without feeling overly full too early into the meal.

A fresh garden green salad added a lighter touch before the main course arrived. For mains, we ordered Cheese Butter Masala, Dal Makhni, Fried Bhindi, Bharta, and raita. The Dal Makhni stood out for its rich slow-cooked flavor, while the Cheese Butter Masala was creamy and comforting without feeling too heavy. The Fried Bhindi added crunch to the meal, and the smoky Bharta paired perfectly with the breads. The raita balanced everything nicely and completed the spread.

Dessert was exactly the kind of ending you want after a traditional Indian lunch — warm Gulab Jamun and Kulfi Faluda. The Gulab Jamun was soft and comforting, while the Kulfi Faluda added texture and a nostalgic touch to the table.

One of the nicest parts of the experience was interacting with the owner, Mr. Anil, who was extremely cordial and welcoming throughout the lunch. He personally took the time to explain the inspiration behind the interiors and décor, which made the experience feel even more personal. There were strong influences of Rajasthan visible across the walls and detailing, while the furniture carried prints inspired by celebrated designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, adding richness and character to the space. Listening to the stories behind the interiors made the experience feel much more immersive and thoughtfully curated.

What I personally enjoyed most about Singh Sahib was how comfortable and enjoyable the entire lunch felt. From the hospitality and conversations to the thoughtfully prepared food, everything came together naturally and made for a memorable afternoon dining experience in Delhi.
