If you want to remember Sunehri Masjid, come to this restaurant first. Taste the menu of Chinese and Indian cuisines at Moti Mahal Restaurant. Most guests of this place say that good tandoori chicken, butter chicken and tandoori naan are served here. Tasty kulfi, falooda and butter cakes will impress you at the first bite. Take your chance to taste delicious wine, cordial or beer. A number of people suppose that you can try great coffee, lassi or juice at this spot.
Food delivery is a big advantage of this restaurant. The staff is said to be patient here. Terrific service is something that visitors note in their comments. Prices are fair for the quality you get. There is a peaceful ambiance and nice decor at Moti Mahal Restaurant. But this place is not highly appreciated by Google users who provided it a below average rating.

Butter Chicken (Half) - Rs. 630/- Garlic Naan - Rs. 120/- Tandoori Roti - Rs. 40/- Jal Jeera - Rs.130/- Moti Mahal, Daryaganj, Delhi Punjabi & Mughlai cuisine $$$$$ 28.11.2025 So I'm on an official tour to Delhi for a couple of days & so while this is not a Food Tour, I tried my best to find a few spots to eat. Now I've stayed in Delhi twice before, 3 months in 2003 & 8 months in 2007 & have travelled about 40+ times here but I never got around to try some of the iconic food spots in this historic city. So one of the iconic places that I have noticed since 2001 is Moti Mahal Restaurant at Daryaganj. This is the place that first brought Punjabi tandoor style cooking into modern day India & is acknowledged to be the place where leftover pieces of tandoori chicken were cooked in a tomato based gravy with dollops of butter to form what we know today as Butter Chicken. What better dish to culinary define Delhi than this. I've eaten Butter Chicken for more than 3 decades now & finally I get to try the OG one. I was pretty excited when I entered this 78 years old Restaurant which has hosted a few Heads of State & many celebrities including a Chef made popular by the Hell's Kitchen TV series, Mr. Gordon Ramsey himself who cooked & ate in this very Restaurant on his trip to India many years ago. So here goes my review. Ambience - 4.2 The restaurant has an outdoor section which is arranged for events & an indoor dining section. The indoor was huge & very light pink. It was comfortable enough but I guess the last time there was a major renovation done would be around my age. Anyway if Gordon Ramsey was fine with it, who am I to complain. Service - 4.5 The service was pretty good. The waiters were attentive & polite despite my use of colloquial Hindi. The food took not more than 15mins to arrive. The lady at the counter even smiled when I took a picture of the wall of awards behind her counter.
