    The perfect place to have an authentic Bihari cuisine. The litti chokha platter is a must-try. Also the sattu parantha platter. The ice rose tea was also amazing. The Makhana kheer was tasty but overpriced as per the quantity. Rest all great.

    The place was good for bihari food. We ordered multiple dishes Service could have been better. Pro tip 1: Mix things on one dish being served and then eat it for traditional bihari taste. Pro tip 2: don't order sabudana separately as almost every dish had that 🤣

    Went there for early lunch around 12 and it was empty. Due to ongoing renovation we faced some issues with the entry and exit plus the view had construction. We ordered Tehri, gugni, madhubani thali and bihari thali - the quantity was good and the sides were really tasty. They had amazing parval tamatar and alu chokha. Tehri was full of veggis and amazing choka hua dahi. The atmosphere was good and the service was also very good. The staff was also courteous.

    There are many aspect which makes this restaurant mole out of a mountain. PRICE: this is over price proportional to quantity served. All the new rates have been scribbled on small chits and pasted on menus which is thicker than tax reports of Bihar. A sattu parantha platter here cost more than a chicken platter outside which much less quantity. QUANTITY: The quantity of chokha is served in katori which is size of suji gol gappa. Same goes with mashed potato served for unknown reason or probably just to fill the empty space of serving dish. The two chutneys is full teaspoon each. They want mustard seed for every bite of sattu parantha. Their price proportion to quantity is unjustifiable, nightmare for north indian who wants to pay more for good food quantity. Pakora platter has 4 types of pakoras of 2 pieces each. Potato, Brinjal, onion and cauliflower served with chutney and priced at Rs.300/-. CONTRARY FOOD: Litti, a famous staple of Bihar, which is baked in coal so as to prevent it from frying/deep frying/using oil in any way and to prevent its taste giving a charcoal taste is deep fried. They just done the opposite of litti can still has the audacity to call it litti. Same goes with Chokha. A plate of litti chokha has urad daal on it rather than chokha. For formality, they serve chokha not brinjal one remember but brinjal mixed with potato in microscopic katori size, a size which you can find at any chapp corner, in which they serve green chutney or vinegar onion. Urad daal is served with saatu parantha and litti chokha for reasons unknown. AMBIENCE: No doubt, it has the excellent ambient and atmosphere but a crying child will ruin it without hesitation. One common toilet for entire lounge which has wash basin inside is quite a challenge. If one has to wash his hands, he has to use the toilet and lock the room from inside as the comode inside doesn't have a secondary door. CONCLUSION: They add the service charge without asking so beware. Moreover, if you want to travel all the way from Rohini or much far and want to eat Bihari cuisine, I recommend take NH19 and after Varanasi, taste the authentic Bihari food. Second route is after crossing Gorakhpur. Its time taking but gives far more satisfaction than this over priced, over hyped, under quantity, under washroom restaurant shall.

    A very nice place to enjoy authentic Bihari cuisines! The place has indoor and outdoor seating with a good ambience. Litti chokha platter is a must try.

    I really liked this place. There are 2 potbelly restaurants one is in shahpur jat village and the other in bihar niwas. My understanding is they are run by same company. Now I went to bihar niwas. They serve authentic good quality food. The mutton and chicken dishes are good. Not too spicy and oily. I had Makhana kheer that was also good. Next time will try Pua. Veg thali is also good. The chutneys were too high on mustard and I didnt liked that much. Overall good food, ambience, and service.

  • 3/5 Prashanth B. 1 year ago on Google • 114 reviews
    Excellent food no doubt at all. When we were at Delhi on short tour and we wanted to try some authentic food and got a very good recommendation from Google since we were at National rail museum in particular. Good ambience and only problem we had is with the service. We had to call the person every single time and they wouldn't have taken the order until we called him out. I am not sure is it probably due to the fact that we were at elevated seating options ??

    Food is below average and overpriced. Litti chokha at a hawker is better than what they serve. The only likeable food is Aloo Lalu Chop and Upside Down Pineapple Pastry

    Try delicious #Bihari food at #PotBelly Chanakyapuri. It's located right inside Bihar Niwas. There's a plethora of choices for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. 🌿 Food from almost every region and district of Bihar is available here. Must try if you love experimenting. 🙂 Ambience 9/10 😌 Food 9/10 🐟 Price 8/10 💸 Location 9/10 👍

    I personally loved the place. I went to this place on a winter evening while the sun was still there. The outdoor seating has a perfect vibe for this kind of wheather. The tables face to lush greenery and an open green ground. I felt a little lag on the part of service even when the restaurant was not fully occupied. Apart from that their menu was very impressive and had lots of different options which any food lover and anyone who loves to explore different cuisines would definitely like. I ordered assorted pokora basket, soups and bihari french fries ( they were awesome ). Everything was tasty and came in ample quantity. A common side serving and a main serving for each individual will make a perfect and hearty meal for 2. The soup was very different and tasty in a unique way. The restaurant is situated inside the Bihar state house, parking has to be done on road only as there is no dedicated parking for the restaurant but it seems fairly safe there. Also do visit the small handicraft shop on entry of the restaurant as they have some pretty cool stuff.

    Liked the ambience, authentic food from Bihar, good service. Though a balance between the food price and portion size if reviewed can go a long way.

  • 2/5 Shubham J. 8 months ago on Google
    Tried Litti Chokha which wasn't really good, because the Litti were way too dry. They recommended Aalu chop platter which was also not appealing. Sides like chutneys and Dal were nice. Service was extremely poor. The staff literally sat inside while people were seated in the garden area. The only good thing was the garden and the decoration which add to the vibe of this place.

    Wonderful Authentic Bihari food, with variation in each dish. I would recommend Kathal Biryani. Great sweet dish too: Makhana kheer and Boondi Yogurt. Pua takes time, so preorder

    The food tasted reasonably decent but the portion is very less. A handi biriyani which cost around 650 or 700 is not enough for one . The Makhana kheer was not more than 3-4 table spoons . Service people are also nonchalant .

    The Potbelly is an authentic Bihari cuisine located near Yashwant Place in Chanakyapuri. The restaurant is inside the Bihar Niwas. They have a huge menu with amazing flavours. Each dish has it’s different flavour, litti chokha , sabudana pakora, pakora basket with delicious chutneys . They have very catchy names for some dishes that attracts you. It is a great place for vegetarians. Ambiance is nice and services are good. They have both indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements in beautiful green garden. During rush hours you have to wait. Prices are okay. It is a good place for lunch and dinner. Overall it’s a perfect blend of taste and culture.

    One of the best and most authentic. Bihari cuisine place inside Bihar sadan. Amazing ambience , great food. Pros : the food is actually awesome , be it maithali thali or champaran meat, kahada masala chicken or aam panna , everything rocks Cons : slow staff, chef has to be told to put salt, he forgets at times. Parking isn't easy

    It's a great find as the place is hidden inside Bihar niwas. But they have a great menu and the food quality and taste is just too good. The biryani was average but fish and other items taste so good.

    Good restaurant in terms quality of food, hygiene and ambience. Located at perfect location of Bihar Niwas. I specially loved their green gravy mutton, mango panha, chicken. Service is prompt and thali system is also good. Being maharashtrian this was the first time when I tried Bihari food and it was fantabulous. Must try category food.

    We went their for a family dinner on a freezing cold winter evening. We tried variety of food including Litti Chokha, Chicken,Malpua and Makhana Khir. Everything was tasty and well presented. If you are not very familiar with Bihari cuisine you can always take guidance from the staff of the hotel. Ambience is beautiful and service is good. A place worth visiting

    Food is pure and authentic. The taste of tomato chutney in Aloo Lalu chop is wonderful and the Mutton paya soup is very good. Loved the freshness of apple in apple lemonade. Overall worth the money. *Be sure to ask the name of the dish served before eating, if you are a vegetarian.

    My first time trying Bihari food and it was great. The prices were reasonable and the flavors delicious. The restaurant is located at one of the top floors, so be prepared to walk up a few flights. Once you get to the restaurant, the ambiance is pretty chill with good dinner lighting and unique book shelves located around the eating spaces.

  • 5/5 Karthik N. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is famous for it's Bihari food. I must warn you that most of the food here is too spicy. If you are not familiar with this place and are not fond of spicy food then do ask the waiter to tell you about the food which is less spicy, that will really help. Overall the service is slow, maybe we reached early and the food was being prepared, but the quality was great and fresh. Worth a try !

  • 5/5 nikhil s. 4 years ago on Google
    My favourite place to chill in Delhi. You can spend long hours and the staff are courteous. Lots of snacking option! They have some local drinks which are a must try.

    A must go place for the super delicious food. We have been going there from last 4 yrs and this restaurant, which has two outlets and none of these have ever disappointed us with even a 1% lesser taste. Definitely our favorite place to go. Would recommend everyone who is looking for a guaranteed super delicious food Everytime they visit.

  • 5/5 Animesh O. 3 years ago on Google
    This place offers you a wide array of bihari cuisine , veg or non-veg. The kebab platter, bagiya basket, sarson fish and mutton litti is a must try. All the items are awesome more or less like sabudana pakoda, cutlet etc. It gives you an authentic and realistic experience of Bihari cuisine that is more the just Litti-Chokha

    Not to be missed for the love of food! If you are looking at authentic Bihari cuisine, this is the place. They have a menu that ranges from simplest of their daily life platters to special celebration dishes. And the taste is amazing. It's like a vegetarians delight. The ambience is really good and the prices are not high either. In toto, a must try place.

    Loved bihari food in this restaurant which you can't even get in Bihar.

  • 4/5 Aman A. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved the baggia basket, the accompanying chutney and choka were amazing, I highly recommend you try it. I also tried the non veg pakora basket, which was a mix of chicken pakoda and keema goli, of which is the former was better. Tried the champaran mutton, which was served with a lentil flat bread, it was pretty good, the flavours were amazing although the texture of the meat was slightly off putting. Least impressive, though not bad, was the jhinga machli, which kind of got lost in the sea of other flavours.

    Authentic Bihari food in a good hygenic and green location, they have nice attentive staff. They don't serve sandviches and maggi now! (as on 1st March 2020) which is there on the menu right now. Everything else is there and it tastes nice (except phish phingers) I personally found it little costly! (Taste is subjective I belive).

  • 5/5 mukesh s. 3 years ago on Google
    First time I had Bihari food. And , it it delicious. It was a wonderful experience with the host introducing us to the various choices. We had the Champaran Mutton which is amazing and boneless. A Saboodana basket, and Litti mutton. Though , the litti mutton does leave you filling heavy. This was followed by Raspua and saffron boondi in hung curd. It was also well served by their staff. An amazing experience!! ps. It’s no longer rooftop.

  • 4/5 kamalita m. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely bihari cuisine. Must try litti mutton and champaran mutton. Services can be improved. Note - Its on the ground floor with an outdoor dining space, however not rooftop .

  • 3/5 mehak k. 3 years ago on Google
    The Food is spicy, so get some coolers to soothe yourself. The ambience is good for coming with family, not so much for going with friends. A bit disappointing for Chicken lovers since most options are in mutton.

    First, It's not a roof top cafe. But it is located at very clean and calm location. There is garden area near the sitting. Food was authentic and tasty.

  • 5/5 Parag A. 3 years ago on Google
    Mouth watering food. A must visit for every person who loves to taste food from varying regions. Just shows how versatile is the Indian cuisine and that it's just not talked about

  • 4/5 Joseph V. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place, authentic Bihari flavours, got the Madhubani Thali which was light and tasty. Washed it down with chai. Must try. Sorry for not having a good pic😅🙏. I ate up the food as soon as it arrived. 4 puris, aloo sabzi with a hit of julienned ginger, red chilli, turmeric and green chillies that was just right , baingani chokha that was yum though the portion was tiny, boondi raita and a smear of flax seed chutney and oak chutney that plays with your tongue. Modestly spicy letting you taste individual components in every aspect. Homely welcoming comfy seating and space,hygienic and the have physical menus or one could simply use QR code stickers on the tables to have their menu up.

    We have visted pot belly many times and every time we got same satisfaction. Have tried maithili thali, makhana thali, tehri thali, dan jhamarua thali and pakodas. Every dish is delicious and totally different from other restaurants. They have variety of chatni with every dish which is just yummy. Must visit place you will love it. You may find it costly but the tase is worth. Love it.

    It was last week that I planned to visit this place with a friend to try some authentic Bihari Cuisine. If I talk about the place its pretty and very homey. It is located in Bihari Bhawan, Chanakyapuri ( people do get confused). With the food we requested was Aloo lalu chop which was served with a burger bun and two different types of chutneys . It tasted good but was spicy as well. Then a pakora basket which was assorted with brinjal, sabudana, mix, onion etc. were crispy and delicious. Love their mint chutney. For main course my friend requested to have Litti and some chicken dish (can’t recall the name ) but was okay and again spicy.

    Such a nice place.. Really good Litti Chokha. And desserts are also awesome. 😍

  • 5/5 Aakash 2. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh damn! Was missing something so amazing all this time! My sister insisted we spend our Mom's birthday here. It has been on our wishlist for several days now. We tried almost 9 veg dishes and desserts and were thrilled! The food quality is top notch, and their service, though tad bit slower (they make up for it by serving you really well crafted food); but right from its ambience to the hosts (Sahu Couple - lovely energy and humble people) made our luncheon an unforgettable experience! On top of it, our host for the day, Mr Rajesh, was so helpful, kind and proactive, that our experience multiplied manifolds. We ordered 1 Litti Chokha(obviously) 2 Baggia Basket 3 Googni Churra 4 Chana Dal and pyaz kachri basket 5 Dal Pitti 6 Madhubani Thali 7 Makhana Kheer 8 Saffron Boondi in Hung Curd 9 Pineapple upside down cake Won't deny we had some apprehension on visiting the place because we have rarely explore the Bihari cuisine, plus we pre-empted that we will get to listen "jiya tu Bihar k lala" and other kinda music but the overall ambience was fantastic and well kept. We throughly enjoyed our visit.

    Feel the nostalgia with authentic bihari cuisines .No compromise in taste.Even extra puris,roti and paratha are served with extra cost..I love this place..peaceful place ...staffs are also nice..It's a must try for everyone🙂🙃.

  • 3/5 Alvira K. 2 years ago on Google
    The outside sitting area is just so ravishing and breathtaking during the day. The biryani is pathetic, chicken pakoda was okish, coffee wasn't drinkable was too watery and also they don't serve you a bottled water. Had a good experience if we count the Ambience and services. Else the food was 2 out of 10. If u want to chill with ur companion with a peaceful surrounding during the day, do visit this 😊

    Potbelly has been my favourite places in Delhi to try some authentic food from Bihar. I love their flavours, food taste and restaurant ambience. It is very easy to reach by person or public vehicles. One can call in advance to know about the availability or waiting time during rush hours.

    The place is decent in terms of ambience and crowd. The food, especially non-vegetarian, is awesomely delicious. Staff is also well behaved and properly trained. The parking is something which is troublesome. Basically no parking space allotted.

    Delicious food as always, not disappointed. Food was slightly oily, had to use the provided napkins to dip and soak some of the excess oil. I love the multi coloured puris you get as part of the Poori basket and the Maithili and Makhana thalis. The restaurant was also understaffed so it took a while for them to respond especially after taking our order the first time. However the staff was quite responsive after we highlighted. The Raspua dessert was extremely delicious - highly recommend and will be going back to try it again!

    Had been planing to visit for some time and finally got the opportunity. It was disappointing to say the least. E.g. my daughter ordered khada masala mutton but what came was a bowl full of liver with only two small boneless peices of mutton. When asked for the reason, they said "Yaha aise hi hota hai". They should have called the dish khada masala liver 😀. Litti was ok to taste but Chokha again was ordinary. Daal bhat thali again was below par. That Marua Puri (Ragi Puri) was joke. All said and done, it ended up being just a tick in the box for my Bhawan hopping in Delhi.

    The taste of food is not great as per the cost they charge. I bought honey from the counter of the restaurant. The manager denied giving a bill for the same.. When I brought the honey at home, I found sugar added in the honey. I have no claim now as I was denied a bill for the same. Bihar Nivas deserves a better restaurant to represent the Bihar culture. Potbelly is of fraudulent characteristics undermining the very essence of Bihar.

    Loved the food and relaxed ambience. It doesn’t offer you a fancy ambience of a upscale restaurant but does offer quite, no fuss experience with great food. Loved kathal biryani..

👍👍 Absolutely love their rice combos. Paneer rice is my all time favourite. Great option for dinner, if you work nearby. If you're looking for a place for quick bites, then you need to visit this place.
