| - I am so pleased to have Feast of Dilli open for business near to my home. I had a wonderful lunch here and I will be returning. Soon!
I was immediately greeted by Jaipal, owner and chef, who made us comfortable and explained there would be some intermittent testing of the fire alarms (we were the first and early customers this particular morning, so it was understandable). He then was back in a couple minutes to deliver some complimentary papadums (which came with two amazing dips).
After a few minutes, the General manager, Prashant, pleasantly introduced himself and took our orders. Throughout our meal we were visited by both men at perfectly appropriate times to check on how were enjoying our meal and to see if we needed anything else. The service and hospitality were an easy 5/5.
We all shared the following:
Appetizer Chicken Pakoras - Wonderfully tender, mildly spiced (marinated) chicken breast chunks in a very light coating. 5/5
Appetizer Tandoori Wings - Great, large drumette portions of the wing in a tasty tandoor sauce. These looked incredible and my only complaint is that they appeared as they would have packed a flavour whallop but they were actually quite mild. 4/5
Chicken 65 - Quite easily the most complex tasting of the dishes we had, this unique dish had lightly coated and fried pieces of chicken in quite a spicy, slightly sour sauce. It's flavour, to me, is reminiscent of Hakkan Chili Chicken. 5/5
Lunch Special Butter Chicken (served with Salad, Raita, Basmati Rice and Naan) - A very hearty portion of tender chicken breast chunks together with sliced pepper pieces in a rich, buttery and pleasantly sweet sauce. Plenty of extra sauce to slather the perfectly cooked Basmati Rice and dip the incredible Naan into, (best naan I've ever had). 5/5
Lunch Special Tikka Masala (served with Salad, Raita, Basmati Rice and Naan) - Not too different than the butter chicken, this too had tender chunks of white meat together with green and yellow pepper pieces in a nicely spiced, slightly sweet curry. Not as rich as the Butter Chicken, and that was perfect. A slight complaint was that we had asked for it to be very spicy and it was rather mild. Again the Naan and Basmati were perfect and the Cucumber Salad and Raita were a very nice, cooling compliment. 4/5
All in all this was a very enjoyable meal for all of us. With the amount of food we ordered, we had plenty to take home (which was quickly devoured). It was very reasonably priced for such a large amount of food. I am truly hopeful (and confident), that the team will be able to keep up the quality of food and service as Feast of Dilli ages. I'm certain it will age here as it became quite busy by the time we left, even in an area greatly in need of commercial gentrification where other restaurants have failed.
I look forward to my next visit. The menu is quite large and there are several options to choose from. I stuck with the safe items on my first visit and since they were all amazing, I'll be sure to be more adventurous next time. Highly recommended.
