I’ll be honest with you: I never thought Prasanjit Singh could pull it off for so long. Though Prasanjit now does many other things, Setz, the restaurant he runs for Moscow’s Keshav Bhagat and its ultimate owners, the DLF group, remains his flagship. And it is still full, still re-inventing itself, and still serving many different cuisines with great distinction. Its two offshoots, the excellent ChaShi and the Café, both on the ground floor of Emporio, continue to flourish.
I used to go to Setz for the European food but these days I prefer the Oriental. The Chinese food is reliable (they have finally got the Peking Duck right) and the Thai food is easily the best in Delhi. Desserts continue to be exceptional: great home-made icecream and the best Napoleon pastry in India.
MY FAVOURITES
1. China Kitchen has rewritten all the rules for Chinese restaurants in India
2. Royal China’s strengths remain the dim sum brunch and the quality of the cooking
3. Amaranta’s food can be exceptional
4. Wasabi has managed the difficult job of living up to expectations and seeing off the competition
2. Royal China’s strengths remain the dim sum brunch and the quality of the cooking
3. Amaranta’s food can be exceptional
5. At Qube, in the Leela Palace, it is the food that keeps me going back, again and again
6. At Chez Nini, the love and attention lavished on each dish reflects in the flavours
7. A restaurant like 360, The Oberoi, Delhi, comes along once in a decade 8. At Setz, the Chinese food is reliable and the Thai is easily the best in Delhi
