A popular family-run Indian restaurant is set to open in Liverpool next week.

Delhi House Cafe, which launched in Manchester’s Corn Exchange four years ago, has announced its newest location will be at Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock.

Arriving on 17 September, Delhi House hopes to introduce a “true taste of modern Indian dining and authentic Delhi flavours” to the city.

Varendra Lamba and his wife Rajinder, along with their son Sherry and daughter-in-law Preen, joined forces to create Delhi House Cafe after relocating to Manchester from Delhi in 2020.

Preen, 29, manager and head of marketing, says: “Myself and my family are from Delhi, the food capital of India and we want to transport our diners to this exciting, bustling and experiential city, delivering the most wonderful experience of modern Indian dining that they haven’t seen before.

“Meanwhile, we’ll also be sharing the knowledge and expertise that goes into creating authentic Indian food.

“When we opened in Manchester almost five years ago, we couldn’t have imagined how well Delhi House Cafe would be received. In September 2023, we set our sights on expanding to the beautiful city of Liverpool which is the perfect next location for us because of its culture and the friendly nature of people here.

“We really believe that there is a gap in the market for Indian food in Liverpool and the dishes that we’ll offer at Delhi House. Our goal is to transport our guests so that they feel as though they’re dining in a restaurant in Delhi.

“We want to change the common preconception that Indian food is for hangovers, that it’s curries from a takeaway courier, or that it’s just unhealthy. True authentic Indian cuisine is so much more than that.”

With space for 120 diners, Delhi House will open on 17 September at the Royal Albert Dock.
