Food was lipsmacking, the menu is good - having a wide variety of indian dishes to choose from. Great work by the chef. A true 5 star experience. Preparation time is a little high almost an hour ! I felt service could be faster. The place is bustling on the weekends and ambience is good. I would suggest prior table reservation as there is a bit of waiting. We had such a wonderful experience we decided to book a stay for the coming weekend ☺️

Baluchi is the premier North Indian restaurant at The Lalit New Delhi.
The ambience is colossal and definitely feels like a 5 star.
Service is top notch as you would expect from The Lalit hospitality.
Coming to the food, it is good but not amazing. I didn't find a single item on my table for which I would come back again. However, the overall experience was great.
Dal Baluchi is their version of Dal Makhni and is served not just here, but at other Lalit hotels too across India. It is also a part of the buffet at the 24/7 coffee shop.
Cost for two is around 5000 INR.
Would suggest to give this place a try if you are looking for a Fine Dining North Indian restaurant.
Stayed in the hotel and so decided to try their restaurant, the food is just incredible. It's hard to describe in words. Waiters are dressed in the Rajasthani outfit and at the end of the meal the chef comes out to say hello to all the tables. Their wine selection is awesome too.
Thank you for the hospitality thoroughly enjoyed it.
Excellent!! Ambience of the restaurant is so good that you feel like sitting there for hours listening to music ..All the dishes we ordered whether veg or non veg were very tasty. Baluchi Dal Makhni was really yummy. Staff was very courteous and full of warmth. Though it was expensive but we enjoyed.

I visited this place sometime back in December and it was a lovely experience here. First of all a special shoutout to the amazing hospitality and courteous chef. Secondly, lets talk about the food. I loved their tomato shorba. I tried their veg and non veg platter . In main course , their dal baluchi is a must try for dal lovers. In desserts i tried gulab jamun and paan kulfi . Oh my god their kulfi is so flavoursome. Totally recommended !!
Visited the outlet on a Family dinner during my stay at the Lalit. The place has a very calm ambiance and is well suited for a family dinner. The food also has that punjabi touch unlike most 5 stars and is not bland. Dal Balouchi of course is the most famous attraction of the joint and is a do not miss item. Apart from that a palak papad dish was also delicious (Don't remember the exact name). The staff is polite and quick on their feet. I don't think rates and portions require a mention considering it to be a luxury dinning experience.
Hey guys, so today I just visited this beautiful restaurant. The food was truly amazing,the ambiance was very cool, the staff was friendly. The food was pocket friendly and was truly amazing.
Baluchi is the fine dine pan-Indian restaurant of The Lalit New Delhi. It is one of the best restaurant of Delhi for north Indian food. I went here yesterday and a really wonderful experience.
We started with Surkh Tamatar Shorba which was a light and delicious soup of tomatoes. Then i tried the vegetarian starters: Achari Paneer Tikka, Subz ki Seekh and Gucchi aur safed mushroom ki galouti. All three tasted really good but the galouti was outstanding. It had the perfect melt-in-mouth texture. In main course, i had paneer lababdar, methi palak papad ki subzi and dal baluchi. The gravy of paneer lababdar had distinct taste of so many Indian spices. Amazing preperation. Methi palak papad ki subzi was made using fresh, seasonal methi and palak along with papad. Not only it was good in taste, it was good for health as well. Dal Baluchi is their signature dish and it was good as ever. In Desserts, i had the blueberry rasgulla which was something that i tried for the first time and i absolutely loved it's taste.
With zero food wastage, paper straws and decorations using therapeutic plants, The Lalit is doing it's bit to achieve a sustainable tomorrow by conscious today. Their efforts are worth appreciating.👍🏻
About Place: The decor of the place was so elegant. Everything was perfect very neat & clean. Place was spacious and quiet which we really desired for. One can have a good 5 star dinning here with tempting food and well mannered staff.

About food : We tried #electric_blue , #fruit_colada , #surkh_tamatar_shorba , #tandoor_platter , #paneer_lababdar , #dal_baluchi , #gucchi_pulao , #methi_palak_papad_ki_sabzi , #raita #paan_kulfi
Both mocktails were refreshing. Then we had tomato soup which was okay. In platter we had Achari paneer tikka , subz ki seekh and malai artichoke. Platter was superb all the three items were new & unique in taste. Main course was served beautifully all the food items were good and I really loved the gucchi pulao. It had awesome fragrance and taste of saffron. And the paan kulfi was again really refreshing and had proper paan flavour. It was a great experience.
During my visit to Baluchi in Delhi, I was impressed by the upscale and fancy interior, which immediately sets the tone for a luxurious dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance is truly noteworthy and contributes to a refined atmosphere.
The service was another positive aspect of my visit. The waiter was attentive, friendly, and added a pleasant touch to the overall dining experience.
However, when it came to the food, I found myself with mixed feelings. I opted for the Butter Chicken, a classic favorite. While it was satisfactory, I couldn't help but feel that it lacked that extra something to make it truly remarkable. The dish was decent but not particularly captivating.
In conclusion, Baluchi offers a fancy and sophisticated ambiance, complemented by friendly and attentive service. While the food, like the Butter Chicken, falls into the okay category, it doesn't quite reach the level of fascination I was hoping for. If you're seeking a refined dining environment with decent cuisine, Baluchi might still be worth a visit.
It was our wedding anniversary and we had arranged a poolside candle light dinner. From the moment we had entered Baluchi, we were treated with utmost respect & humility. The service was impeccable by Mr.Pramod. He made our anniversary even more special by taking care of the tiniest of our need. The ambience is just FAB out there and it will make you fall in love all over again! The starters & mocktails were delectable. All in all, it was a rewarding experience :)
In my 3 experiences here, i have never found this place to be bad but not even found it to be something out of the world.
It's just decently good, Indian food in a great ambience with good service. On a recent visit for the Indian Wine Day we had a a nicely curated dinner here.
Stayed in the hotel and so decided to try their restaurant, the food is just incredible. It's hard to describe in words. Waiters are dressed in Rajasthani outfit and at the end of the meal the chef comes out to say hello to all the tables. Their wine selection is awesome too.
A must try out place to experience variety of dishes with their near authentic taste. Although the pricing might be to the pricy end, a little bit, let it not deceive of the taste offered as well as the ambience.🤌
The best part of a blogger life is that they get insight into the chef's vision. Yesterday was the same. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Executive Chef Ashish Sanyal, who has flown from banglore to showcase the indian food in a modern way keeping the favours intact. Some interesting twists that worked really well. Scallop paturi was the star dish. It was an afternoon full of knowledge sharing, wisdom and great insight into restaurant industry. He for sure is someone we should look upto. An inspiration for the young generation who are getting into food industry. Festival is on till 22nd and don't miss the food and chat with chef. He has very interesting stories to share.
Oh and not to forget the lamb chop with lemon rice aranchini - I will not tell you about the sauce because that's the secret. You should go and figure it out.
PS - Don't miss lehsun ( garlic) ki kheer and pan barfi.
Baluchi at The Lalit is a good restaurant. The food and service is good. If the restaurant is busy you might have to wait for the food. It has a huge wine cellar and has good ambience
The staff here is suited and booted. The food most definitely is amazing. As we were shown to our table my friend and I walked past the wine bottle counter and saw beautifully presented wine bottles of fine dining delights. I got adventurous with my main - choosing the vegetarian course. I took a lovely turn down memory lane with this dish - their signature biriyani. Thankfully my food envy was no more once my dessert arrived - rasamalai. My first crack into the wobbly texture was pure joy. It was the most refreshing dessert I had tasted in a long time.The relaxed unpretentious feel of this place together with the tremendous skill at work in the kitchen means this place doesn’t need to talk up its credentials.
Best Indian food in town. They got wide options and amazing taste. Staff is very polite and supportive.
Stayed in the hotel and so decided to try their restaurant, the food is just incredible. It's hard to describe in words. Waiters are dressed in Rajasthani outfits. Nice to have such food.
