    A special adventure: the scene is peculiar, the atmosphere is special, the piano sounds excellent, and the diner is sublime. With all respect, menu can be changed. An excellent list of wines. And the service cannot be better. So….,

    I wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time. The concept of a restaurant shaped like the famous Orient Express is something that intrigued me. To say I wasn't disappointed is an understatement. I was overwhelmed by the ambience of the place. Built along the lines of the fabulous train made even more famous by the novel by Agatha Christie and consequent movie of the same name, this restaurant is another jewel in the crown of the Taj group. Attention to detail, unobstusive service, a choice of delectable wines, a sumptuous array of continental cuisine and live music made it an experience to remember.

    My family and I stayed at the Taj Palace hotel in New Dehli for a wedding this past December. While staying there, we decided to stop by the Orient Express for a nice dinner. We decided to go with the a la carte options. They started out meal with a yogurt and patte spread to go with their bread service. For appetizers and soups, we got the lobster bisque and roasted duck. For dinner we got the rack of lamb, and pasta. Service at this restaurant is fantastic. Waiters are knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. If I ever go back to Dehli I would come back to this restaurant. 10/10 Would recommend!

    This was the dining highlight of our recent visit to India. Excellent service in a unique setting, with truly wonderful food. We were treated like royalty throughout by the lovely and personable staff who contributed to a magical evening. And a mention to the lovely Ukrainian singer in the bar area who indulged some of our special song requests!

    I had a delightful stay at this charming hotel! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating a warm atmosphere throughout my visit. The room was cozy and well-designed, providing a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploration. The hotel's location was a huge plus, as it was conveniently close to major attractions and public transportation. I also appreciated the attention to detail and personalized service from the staff, who made me feel like a valued guest. If you're searching for a boutique-style hotel with character and excellent service, this is the place to stay!

    Beautiful restaurant with train like setting. The live pianist was a gentleman and adapted to the crowd, took our song request and very talented. The staff is very attentive with drinks and they have a great drink menu. The food itself was nice and they served with such a great attention to details. A true fine dining experience and great vibe. A must try restaurant if you are in the area or staying in the hotel.

    A unique experience. The Orient Express is a small (10sh table) continental restaurant tucked away in the Taj Palace hotel in the Diplomatic Enclave area near Of New Delhi. The service was fantastic, including a superb pianist who solicited and performed our requests. The many courses were artfully presented as well as delicious. I especially liked the artichoke stuffed crepe. All of this in a setting faithfully reproducing the dining car of the Orient Express train. This is a very special place, for special occasions.

    One of the four restaurants in the beautiful Taj Palace Hotel. Amazing luxurious restaurant, very atmospheric place, delicious dishes, excellent service.

  • 4/5 Attila 4 years ago on Google
    Cute place. Clearly they spend a lot of money on decor and sitting in a replica of the Orient Express does not feel cheesy. The food was good, service could be faster but overall we had a great experience.

  • 5/5 Brent C. 5 years ago on Google
    The Taj hotel in Dehli is just amazing but this restaurant in the hotel takes it to a whole other level. The decor is inspired by the train of the same name, and wood, glass and brass abound. The menu is a good selection of European cuisine very, very well executed and presented. The service is exceptional, attentive but not intrusive - a balance many restaurants fail to understand. All in, probably one of the best meals I have had, anywhere in the world. High recommended!!!

  • 5/5 Varun G. 2 years ago on Google
    Orient Express is so old, it always carries a sense of nostalgia. And best part is they keep churning out same quality of food with same level of impeccable services.

  • 5/5 Naveen K. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The ambiance of the place was cozy and inviting. Now coming to the food, it was simply outstanding. Each dish was prepared with great attention to detail and bursting with flavors. Whether it was the perfectly seared steak or the delicate presentation of the dessert, every bite left me wanting more. The menu offered a wide range of options, catering to all taste preferences. The staff deserve a special mention for their attentiveness and knowledge about the menu. They were able to provide excellent recommendations and were prompt in addressing any request or query we had. In terms of pricing, it was a bit on the higher side but considering the quality of food and service, it was definitely worth it. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring we left the restaurant feeling satisfied. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I would give it a full 5-star rating without any hesitation.

    Orient Express is a European cuisine paradise in the heart of New Delhi. With a harmonious blend of ambiance, expertise, and passion, it's a five-star gem. The menu, a love letter to European flavors, offers dishes that are not only delicious but works of art. Start with the Lobster Bisque, then savor the perfectly seared scallops and the mouthwatering rack of lamb. The wine selection is impressive, and the desserts, like the Warm Choc Pudding and Biscoff Cheese Cake, are heavenly. Every detail, from the welcoming staff to the presentation, oozes dedication. For an unforgettable European culinary journey, Orient Express is a must-visit. It's a true five-star dining experience.
