or years, Lal Qila was known as a "no-frills" hidden gem, but recent renovations have elevated the space significantly. • The Look: The interior now features updated lighting, modern flooring, and cleaner seating arrangements. It feels less like a quick-stop cafeteria and more like a proper dining destination. • The Crowd: It’s a favorite for large South Asian families and community gatherings. On weekends, the energy is high, often feeling like a celebratory dinner party. The Food: Authentic & Bold Lal Qila excels in Mughlai and Pakistani-style dishes, characterized by deep flavors and generous use of spices.
Pros - Delicious food. All the items had perfect amount of spice level as per the request. We ordered chicken tikka, kadhai chicken, butter chicken, mutton biryani and tandoori roti. The chicken in all the items was well cooked. Best thing was the butter chicken didn’t taste sweet at all?? Cons - their cutlery sets and plates need replacement. They were all stained, we cleaned them thoroughly before using them. Secondly, they mentioned in menu to give them 20 minutes after placing the order but we received our order after 45 minutes. That too when the entire place was empty, it was just us in the restaurant. They really need to work on their service. There was only one girl taking the order and serving the food as well.
Food is really tasty. Definitely better taste than some other branded indian chain restaurants. Salman Bhai (Owner) is very generous. Keep it up. Highly recommended.
**DO NOT GO HERE** i would give negative stars if i could. they lied to me when i asked whether their chicken tikka is dark meat (chicken thighs) or white meat (chicken breasts). when i got back home, that's when i noticed they deceived me. i called and told them what they did and i was about to get a refund until the person at the front took my number down and told me i'd get a call back. i got one a few mins later and i believe it was the owner. he fought with me even though i explained the difference of dark meat and white meat before placing the order. anywhere in the world you go, both terms have a universal meaning. he argued with me and even went as far as YELLING at me over the phone telling me that dark meat is NOT chicken thighs and that it's the other way around- white meat is chicken thighs. he told me to come back and give him the food and only then i'd get my refund but why would i drive back 30 mins?? it's a 1 hour round trip which i had initially made, and now he wants to waste my time by having me make another 1 hour round trip. super rude, super incompetent, super deceiving. who yells at customers??????????
