Treating your taste buds at Luxury Imperial Hotel in New Delhi

The Imperial houses some of the finest restaurants in New Delhi, which offer a fine dining experience to suit any occasion.

The Spice Route

The Spice Route was the grand riddle and also the golden chariot of the medieval world. From whence came the aromatic gold of the Indies. The restaurant offers humble homage and obeisance to the painters of Guruvayur, to the craftsmen of Borbudur and the vats of Kurugehep, now known as Bangkok. Within its museum quality interiors' we invite you to an armchair travelogue to the wonders of South- East Asian cuisine from the historical 'Spice Route'.

The Daniell's Tavern

The Daniell's Tavern is the most elegant restaurant in town and houses the famous works of Thomas & William Daniells, the uncle and nephew duo, who travelled extensively in India during 1786-1793 and painted its unrivalled scenery. In the process they also discovered the cuisine of India. The restaurant offers Colonial Indian and Continental cuisine complete with a live band and a Bar.

Patiala Peg

The Patiala Peg commemorates the Maharaja of Patiala's team's victory over the Viceroy's, in a robust game of tent-pegging in the early 1900's. The Patiala Peg with it's stock of fine wines and liquors, offers the perfect setting to relax after a hard day's work.

The Garden Party

This was Pandit Nehru's favourite place to meet with his friends. Over tea and snacks, they would discuss at length lofty ideals and more practical matters.

Now renovated this quiet white - trellised verandah is 'The Garden Party' restaurant. A secluded spot for quick meals and delicious snacks round the clock, it overlooks acres of lush green garden of the hotel.

Banquets and Meetings at Imperial Luxury Hotel in Delhi

The Royal Ballroom evokes the splendour of Lords and Ladies bowing and curtseying, before they swirled across the floor to the strains of waltzes. This is where the distinguished guests amused themselves when Lord Willingdon opened the hotel in 1933.

It is probably the only authentic ballroom remaining in India.

The vast ballroom today also serves as a venue for conferences and lavish parties for the elite, sitting up to 500 guests, auditorium style.

The Imperial also offers two mid-sized conference rooms for up to 80 people each and three exclusive meeting rooms, which can individually accommodate up to 18 guests.

About Delhi

India's capital city, New Delhi, has transformed in the last five decades from a relatively sleepy city to a bustling metropolis graced with wide roads, stately monuments and a vibrant nightlife! Today, high-rise buildings stand cheek by jowl with over 1000 monuments in and around the city, and the city's famous green spaces have dwindled to a mere handful. New Delhi remains the hub of major political and commercial activities and the presence of a large diplomatic corps adds to the city's cosmopolitan air. It also remains a major link to all other northern and southern cities. Nowadays the line of distinction between Old and New Delhi has begun to blur and north, south, east and west Delhi are more prevalent terms of demarcation.
