    Wonderful ambience, very friendly staff. And the food is great! The portions, especially the mains, are generous and the food is made with such care. Nothing feels too heavy, but very very fulfilling. We tried a bunch of stuff (photos attached) but would especially recommend the chicken frill cutlets, chicken bharta, and berry pulao. The raspberry soda and mint lemonade are also amazing, especially on a hot day. Plus free candy on your way out, if you want to indulge your inner child!

    The place is legendary and if you are going on a weekend, reservations are recommended because they have limited dining space and a high demand. It is a cosy little heritage place that basically serves Parsi food. No alcohol is served here. Both veg and non veg fares available. Snacks like vada pav , sandwiches , omlette , bun Maska and tea , Irani chai , coffee are also available at all times . The service is very warm and welcoming albeit a bit laissez- faire ! I loved my mint lemonade with complimentary chutney and fryums. I also had the Parsi veg thali which is sufficient for one but they do allow sharing. I next had brun maska with Parsi tea ( this is different from Irani chai which is milky ) Ended with a caramel custard , which was elevated by the caramelised dehydrated orange slice. The cappuccino here was good if not great. The only things that could improve - the prices … a bit high for a veg meal with small portion sizes sans alcohol. A meal for two costs upwards of Rs 2000/-

    Had the most wonderful experience at Rustoms. Great hospitality, mouth watering food and not too heavy on the pocket. Would love to be back again to try new things. Tried the chicken ghee roast for starters, prawn thali for main course and caramel custard for dessert. A wholesome meal!

    Today I went to one of the oldest restaurants, which specialised in Parsi cuisine. Their atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable, and the food was of average quality....however, the price was exorbitant. Personally, I dislike the drinks because they usually serve packaged fruit juice rather than their own originality. Worse, they charge entry fees of Rs. 20 per person, which is ridiculous. Furthermore, they are charging 10% of service charges on your every order....which is mandatory, and they are not withdrawing that amount even after refusing to pay at the reception counter. I will not recommend it to anyone. It's all a waste of money, and you don't even get the parsi vibes there.

    Great experience here at Rustom's. The entrance driveway is a has a very simple and nostalgic vibe. When you enter the restaurant, you just get the whole parsi experience of Bombay wherever you're seated. The food and beverages are great! The service team is very friendly, caring and courteous. Definitely worth going! Loved this place.

    Delightful experience! The food, the ambience, the service - top quality. Best caramel custard ever. Delectable fish steamed in banana leaves, and their chutney is so good! Order anything here and you wont be disappointed for sure.

    Went here for brunch after waiting for almost a year. We ordered makai na pattice, ragda pattice, paneer thali, raspberry soda, orange spritzer and lagan nu custard. Everything was exceptionally well and can't decide my favourite. Only thing I didn't like that much was the dessert which was little too sweet for my taste.

  • 5/5 Deepak C. 1 year ago on Google • 14 reviews
    So I tried parsi food for the first time and just loved it. The taste was really unique. We had Keema Pao, Patra Ni Machi, Mutton Dhansak and Rasberry soda. Everything was just prefect. And cherry on top was the hospitality of Mr. Aslam he was really nice and polite and he also suggested what should we try next. 5 Stars for food and 5 stars for the hospitality.

    Ambience ☑️ Service ☑️ Menu☑️ Music☑️ This place serves some authentic Parsi food. The food is mouth watering, delicious and quite filling. The thalis are a must try. The service is top notch. They even explain the dishes that we order which I believe is a must at restaurants. Will definitely go back to Rustom's. 100% MUST TRY!

    The ambience, food and service has consistently remained of high quality. This time we ordered Mint Lemonade, Mutton Thali, Mutton Dhansak and Dark Chocolate & Expresso Coffee Cake. The drink was refreshing and flavorful. In the thali, Salli Boti and the mutton pickle deserves a special call out. Dhansak and the kebabs served along with the rice were of the usual high standards which this place is known for. I had the Dark Chocolate & Expresso Coffee for the first time.. Served warm with the right balance of moisture, it was well worth the order. Rustom's is highly recommended to those interested in authentic Parsi cuisine. One of the few places which I hope continues to remain exactly as it is presently!!

    Hey! I stopover here 2nd time, actually there is a parsi cafe & they provide accommodation as well. The moment you enter you need to pay 20/- per person as a entry amout for the cafe then you take seats, service person will provide you the menu and after taking your order he will serve you Papad & Chutney so meanwhile your order will come you can crunch it while chit-chat.This place can be a secret gem for Delhite. We took Veg Thali, Paneer Thali, Chilly Cheese Garlic Pao & Bombay Mawa Cake. Liked the thali but they serve only 2 Parsi rotis in thali and that too very thin, quantity is very less as compare to money value in all food preparation. Ambiance is very authentic no doubt they have decorated the entire cafe in genuine old parsi style - kept a telephone ☎️, old black & white pictures, old indian coins in the table, light & even they serve the bill in a toffee tin box. Satisfied with service also. If someone want to experience a parsi culture this best I can suggest but sorry not for the food they serve here. Thank You 😊

    Great Parsi food inside the Parsi Anjuman hall at Delhi Gate near Maulana Azad Medical College in New Delhi. A little overpriced but good for a visit atleast once.

    Loved this place. They serve authentic Parsi food with lovely hospitality. You wouldn't want to take off the service charge from the bill :) Don't forget to ask their speciality before you order. Must try: Keema Pao Orange mint drink Peach Iced Tea Homemade Raspberry drink Mutton Dhansak

    This was our first try at Parsi cuisine, and we loved it so much at Rustom's. From ambience to taste, and hospitality, everything is just awesome. This place is a must go, either for a date, or family/friends get together.

    Authentic parsi food in delhi. Elegantly and very nicely done. The food is fantastic. I'd recommend salli boti, keema pao, dhansak - authentically done and scrumptious. Also a great place for breakfast, if you prefer akuri pao.

  • 5/5 Tejasv M. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably one of the most underrated places in New Delhi. Kept the Parsi history alive via cuisine and had an amazing day here. The dishes were beautiful and flavourful. 10/10 would recommend

  • 5/5 Ancy M. 2 years ago on Google
    It was an absolute delight! Loved the ambience (the preserved pieces of history)and commendable services provided by the staff! The food was delicious and filling...loved every course we ordered. It's a must visit . We'll visit this place to satiate our cravings for Parsi food

  • 5/5 Aman S. 2 years ago on Google
    Rustoms have always been one of my favourite places to go for enjoying the Parsi delicacies. I love entire setting of their restaurant. It is quaint which reminds me of the by gone era of 70s. They have curated this experience by adding great details form their music to the switch boards. It's very tranquil place nestled near the hustle and bustle of Old Delhi. One should try their refreshing drinks which satiates your desire of trying something different and good. I love their Raspberry Sods and Bhapa Doi Cheesecake. It's highly recommended.

  • 5/5 AKASH C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is hidden gem in Delhi wonder why it isn't popular. I never had such authentic parsi food before. The food here is finger licking amazing the staff are very polite and service very quick. Rustoms is located inside a building it's not a traditional restaurant which is meant to be for its members so when you enter you will be charged 20rs for restaurant access. The Ambience is dedicated to Parsi culture and their people there are various historical artifact's present which belongs to the members who established the society. If you in Delhi than definately try this place and have a taste of your life. Overall ratings: Food : 5/5 Price : 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5

  • 5/5 Pranav 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 anoyuksha s. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved, loved, loved this place! If you want to get an authentic parsi food experience, this is THE place to go. We ordered their signature raspberry drink, veg paneer thali and chicken vindaloo and everything was DELICIOUS. A big shoutout to the staff as well... they were courteous, sweet, and efficient. It was a bit on the expensive side, but for the experience and ambience that you get at the place, i would say it's worth it.

  • 1/5 Ritwick K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very costly but the amount of food is not sufficient for an adult. Ambience is good, staffs are well behaved quality of food is good. But not satisfied with their cost to amount ratio which is really poor.

  • 4/5 Ashish C. 2 years ago on Google
    Bit over priced "Themed Restaurant"(Parsi Food).. Ordered Chicken Ghee roast, Mutton Dhansak where former one was quite unique taste while nothing much special about latter one.. Also their dishes have little sweet texture where most of dishes contain eggs and u have to pay entry fee Rs.20per person.. Ambience and staffs politeness were commendable..

  • 3/5 Dr.Adil J. 3 years ago on Google
    I've tried Berry pulao, it's not worth it. Ambience is nice. Economically place is quite expensive. If you want vibe of 80s you need to visit that place.

  • 5/5 Vimal K. 3 years ago on Google
    Ate here numerous times back in 2018 and have very fond memories. The food is incredible and the staff are very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend as a place with great Parsi food options in Delhi.

  • 3/5 Raja V. 3 years ago on Google
    Retro ambience. Food was above average. One wished they'd be a bit more generous with the portions. Overall, not too bad. Would I visit again ? I wonder.

  • 5/5 lipi a. 3 years ago on Google
    Away from the hustle of glittering lights and pop music, this place is a perfect dine in space for anyone who find their taste in rock n roll music and Indian decor. The food and hospitality is a thing I will vouch for. A perfect cozy place for family get together or a date.

  • 4/5 Sabina F. 3 years ago on Google
    If you need a private cozy and amazing lunch with ur family or friends, this is the place. The food, the music, the ambience and the staff were all just perfect. A lunch with 2 cost us 2500/- but it was worth the experience. Do try

  • 5/5 Abby 3 years ago on Google
    BEST place for Parsi food in Delhi NCR! The ambience is so homey and refined at the same time. The interior design has so much thoughtfulness and detail put into it! The food is great and more “authentic” than the SodaBottleOpenerWallah, though I like both places. The drink (non-alcoholic) selection here is amazing - especially their teas. Service is wonderful. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Rajeev G. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice and small place with an old world ambience. Good Parsi and Bombay and some Goa food. Very good and polite service. The Dhansak was good. The coffee was very good. Not over sweet. Not over milky. Not the pathetic stuff you get at Starbucks and Cafe Coffee Day or any coffee chain. We will visit again.

  • 5/5 Shruti S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Anita A. 3 years ago on Google
    I first visited Rustom's several years ago it opened in Adhchini in South Delhi. It then moved and I moved on in terms of eating places. My husband chanced upon it last week and told me about it, excitedly. Today we lunched there. Its located in the Parsi complex which houses a temple and an auditorium. In a well lit large and airy room, the place is a great venue if you want to chat and have a great meal. This is a luxury in Delhi now. Good, friendly service. A generous menu that caters to both vegetarians and canivores; their speciality drink is raspberry fizz, which I enjoyed. The chicken vindaloo is the best I've had and it didn't blow away the cave of my mouth. The malai paratha was delicious. The prawn curry was average. So, if you're looking for a not noisy venue, with a very pleasant ambience and good food, head out to Rustom's. You won't be sorry. Revisited March 8, 2021. The salli boti was delicious as was the malabar paratha.

    The cheesecake and rotis are a must try! Authentic parsian food, might be too typical for the taste of North Indians.
