New Restaurants in Delhi November 2026: 6 New Tables Delhi Will Be Booking All Winter

The new restaurants in Delhi this November are built for long winter evenings: a four-storey dinner at The Frame in Lodhi Colony, Sri Lankan hoppers at Nanama on MG Road, a Michelin-recognised Bangkok name at Nara Thai in Aerocity and a café-meets-mithai atelier at Nama by Arq in Chhatarpur. Here are six new tables across the city worth booking before the cold properly sets in.

The Frame, Lodhi Colony: The Four-Floor Dinner Plan

Chef and co-founder Adhyan Prasher brings classical French technique and Italian hospitality to four storeys in Meherchand Market: casual walk-in plates downstairs, a seasonal 10-12 course tasting menu upstairs. Co-founder Nishit Chadha, an architect, hand-shaped the clay façade. The staircase goes to a new independent artist every three to six months, and guests can take the work home.

What to order: Beetroot Ravioli, Duck Apple Mustard, Lamb & Beetroot, Mushroom Steak built on lion's mane, Tiramisu; cocktails Banana & Co., Verde Veleno and Jolly Good Fellow

Where: Meherchand Market, Lodhi Colony

Timings: Mon-Thu 6 PM-1 AM; Fri-Sun lunch 12-4:30 PM, dinner 6:30 PM-1 AM; closed Tuesday

The Paperboard Verdict: Reserve upstairs for the tasting menu, budget ₹3,000-4,000 a head, and save room for the Tiramisu, the dessert the kitchen most wants you to finish on.

UPSIDE, Vasant Vihar: The Small-Plates Night in Basant Lok

UPSIDE is a contemporary Asian tapas restaurant and bar with an open kitchen and about 50 seats, cooking Japanese and Southeast Asian flavours through sashimi, ceviche, tiradito and robata. Chefs Vikas C.V. and Vikram Khatri run the kitchen; Khatri spent 16 years with the Olive Group and is best known for Guppy.

What to order: Kanpachi Tiradito, Miso-Zuke Cod, Tuna Sashimi, Edamame Hummus, Nama Chocolate

Where: Ground floor, 39 Basant Lok Market, Vasant Vihar

Timings: 7:30-11:30 PM

Instagram: @upsidedelhi

The Paperboard Verdict: About ₹2,050 for two, and the Nama Chocolate, with soy caramel and sake-poached apple, is the reason to stay for dessert.

Nama by Arq, Chhatarpur: The Lunch That Ends at the Mithai Counter

From chefs Neha Lakhani and Ashay Dhopatkar, the duo behind Arq Mithai, Nama brings a kitchen, a coffee programme and an artisanal mithai and gifting atelier under one roof at The Dhan Mill. Order the Mutton Pacheri Pasta, then the Nama Cloud. The dog is welcome; the gift box is for later.

What to order: Scarpetta & Cornicione, Mutton Pacheri Pasta, Nama Cloud (iced espresso, oat-millet milk, soft toffee cream)

Where: The Dhan Mill, Chhatarpur

Timings: 12-10 PM

Instagram: @namabyarq

The Paperboard Verdict: About ₹3,000 for two, pet-friendly, and a lunch that also sorts out the next gift you owe someone.

Nanama, MG Road: The Sri Lankan Hopper Plan

Founded by Kula Naidu and Alisha Mehra, Nanama cooks South Indian family recipes alongside food from across the shore in Sri Lanka, in a room of green and ivory handmade tiles, murals by Tarun and a glass frontage. The hoppers, plain, egg or Goan chorizo, are still a rarity in Delhi, so order more than one.

What to order: Hoppers (plain, egg, Goan chorizo), Mini Gunpowder Idli, Toddy Shop Pork Belly, Military Mutton Curry, Sri Lankan Black Pork Curry, Colombo Dhal Curry, Mysore Pak Cheesecake

Where: GF 101, The Gallery on MG, MG Road

Timings: 8 AM-11 PM

Instagram: @nanamaindia

The Paperboard Verdict: ₹1,500 for two, and the Mysore Pak Cheesecake, with white chocolate and orange zest, makes a fair case for skipping the mithai shop.

Nara Thai, Aerocity: The Bangkok Dinner Without the Flight

The Michelin-recognised Bangkok restaurant has opened its second Delhi NCR outlet at Worldmark 6, with 72 covers across indoor and alfresco seating plus a group dining area. Expect Tom Yum Soup, Som Tam, Pad Thai and Massaman Curry, alongside an extensive vegetarian selection and signature cocktails.

What to order: Tom Yum Soup, Som Tam, Pad Thai, Massaman Curry, signature cocktails

Where: Worldmark 6, Aerocity

Instagram: @narathaiindia

The Paperboard Verdict: Book the group dining area for the friend who keeps saying they will go to Bangkok this year.

Casa Dunes, Aerocity: The All-Day Plan That Starts With Pickleball

Casa Dunes puts pickleball, contemporary dining, coffee, music and wellness under one roof in a desert-inspired space in Aerocity. Mornings are pickleball and breakfast, afternoons are for food and catch-ups, and evenings turn to food and music. Lose the match, win breakfast.

Where: Aerocity

Timings: 8 AM-12 AM

Instagram: @cafecasadunes_aerocity

The Paperboard Verdict: About ₹2,200 for two, and the only booking on this list that comes with a paddle.
