Delhi Bazaar
A colorful celebration of Delhi's street food culture and traditional tandoor cooking, bringing authentic Indian flavors to Paris's vibrant 11th arrondissement.
Delhi Bazaar: Vibrant Indian Street Food Meets Tandoor Mastery in Paris's 11th
Delhi Bazaar's menu is a carefully curated journey through India's diverse culinary landscape, with a particular focus on Delhi's street food traditions and the smoky, complex flavors achieved through tandoor cooking. The restaurant's commitment to authenticity shines through in every dish, from the spice blends to the cooking techniques employed by the kitchen team.
The tandoor oven serves as the restaurant's culinary centerpiece, producing dishes with the characteristic char and depth that only this traditional clay oven can achieve. Paneer tikka emerges with perfectly caramelized edges and a tender, creamy interior, while various kebabs showcase the tandoor's ability to seal in moisture while developing intense surface flavors. The tandoor isn't just a cooking method here—it's a statement of culinary philosophy, a commitment to preparing food the way it's been done for centuries.
The chaat selection deserves special attention, offering a window into Delhi's vibrant street food culture. These small plates burst with contrasting textures and flavors—crispy, tangy, spicy, and cooling elements all coexisting in harmonious complexity. They're designed for sharing and grazing, perfect for groups wanting to sample widely across the menu.
For those seeking heartier fare, the curry selection delivers robust, deeply flavored dishes like chicken korma and butter chicken, each showcasing the kitchen's mastery of spice layering and sauce development. The biryani, cooked under a sealed naan crust, arrives as a dramatic centerpiece—breaking through the bread releases aromatic steam and reveals perfectly cooked rice studded with tender meat or vegetables.
Vegetarian options receive equal attention and creativity, moving far beyond token offerings to showcase vegetables and paneer in starring roles. The kitchen understands that vegetarian Indian cuisine is not a limitation but an opportunity to highlight the incredible diversity of plant-based cooking traditions.
The menu draws inspiration from both Delhi and London's Indian food scenes, creating a bridge between traditional home cooking and the more refined presentations found in contemporary Indian restaurants. Dishes are designed for sharing, with the kitchen timing everything to arrive simultaneously—a approach that encourages communal dining and ensures everyone experiences each dish at its optimal temperature and texture.
