About Nu Delhi Restaurant Lounge
Nu Delhi Restaurant Lounge sits at the heart of St George's Market as Belfast's second-ranked venue, commanding a 4.5-star rating across 2,220 reviews with 75% five-star sentiment. Diners consistently praise the kitchen's command of spice and technique — from Duck Tikka that ranks among the best Indian dishes ever tasted, to Punjabi Butter Chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh executed with care. The cocktail list is famously long and expertly crafted, backed by a curated wine and beer selection. Service emerges as the defining strength: staff like Mostafa and Divya are singled out for attentiveness and warmth, creating an experience where guests feel genuinely welcomed. The dining room itself balances upscale polish with casual comfort — a tranquil, beautifully decorated space that makes visitors forget they're in Belfast. Vegan and vegetarian menus are thoughtfully developed. Free water refills, late-night food, and full accessibility round out a venue that works equally well for solo diners, families with high chairs, groups of 16, and LGBTQ+ guests seeking a safespace.
Nu Delhi Restaurant Lounge earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wines and cocktails — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.
