I have been to this place. This is just walking distance from Pragati maidan book fair. We ate Litti chokha, Himalayan red rice and Kerela curry. It was tasty. But Quantity should be more as it's pricey. You will find more tourist then locals. Would love to visit again. As it's ambience is very bambooyi. It's inside a museum, so after dining here.

The kind of diversity in Indian food is mind boggling. South Indian and North Eastern dishes are far too under represented in the palate. Btw, it's an amazing work that the cafe owner is doing. Hope I'll have a cafe of my own like that sometime soon
Thank you Udit! You're doing our culture a great service by saving us from homogenized Indian food. We have such diversity and I am glad you are showcasing that! I have always wanted to open a restaurant like yours and I am so happy to see you are doing such incredible things with this restaurant model. Keep achieving heights!
You will find everywhere in the world, but you will only find chicken tikka, roti, naan, etc. it’s amazing that these people are doing this, just goes to show how much diversity there truly is. We usually only see the North Indian part get highlighted everywhere. No one pays attention to the western Indian (Gujarati, Rajasthani, maharashtrian) or even the north east (the seven sisters). It’d be awesome if people (foreigners and Indian alike) knew more of the underrated dishes in India!
It is great to see someone who has a real passion for cooking and wants to share that with others. Any time someone says this taste just like my grandmother or mother's cooking is really saying something. May you and all the other chefs in your kitchen live long and happy lives.

Sitra Ever During the time of the British rule in India resources for Indians (Pakistanis) were low, most people had the same thing. This was around the time those dishes were created, as he said in the video it’s a very simple dish.
Sitra Ever Over the whole of India (during British rule) people ate many of the same things (including Pakistanis). Some people say they love Indian food and just credit India for it even though it may belong to both. Overall my point is people don’t give credit to where it also originated from, just the place they think it’s from.
I was expecting this place to be in the US or UK before the video started but to my surprise it’s really REALLY close to my home !!!! Dinner plans made 🙋🏽♀️
I have been to this place thrice. It has a nice and cozy traditional Indian set up. Food is good. If you are a handicraft lover and happen to be in New Delhi then National Craft Museum (where this cafe is located) is a place to check out.

I am Indian. India is so complex and diverse that even Indians themselves are yet to explore it fully I feel😀😀😀
U r absolutely right... Indian food is so much more than butter chicken and tikka
The kind of diversity in Indian food is mind boggling. South Indian and North Eastern dishes are far too under represented in the palate. Btw, it's an amazing work that the cafe owner is doing. Hope I'll have a cafe of my own like that sometime soon
Thank you Udit! You're doing our culture a great service by saving us from homogenized Indian food. We have such diversity and I am glad you are showcasing that! I have always wanted to open a restaurant like yours and I am so happy to see you are doing such incredible things with this restaurant model. Keep achieving heights!
The number one cuisine in the....God bless india
0:48 "I remember what I ate when I was 4 or 5 years old."
Meanwhile: I don't even remember what I ate for breakfast. lol
I'm from Odisha and I can't thank you enough for serving a odia dish at a reputed stage..
Kudos to you man. 👍
Bro stop making me hungry
You will find everywhere in the world, but you will only find chicken tikka, roti, naan, etc. it’s amazing that these people are doing this, just goes to show how much diversity there truly is. We usually only see the North Indian part get highlighted everywhere. No one pays attention to the western Indian (Gujarati, Rajasthani, maharashtrian) or even the north east (the seven sisters). It’d be awesome if people (foreigners and Indian alike) knew more of the underrated dishes in India!
Me: Can I eat this
Mom: we have food.
.the food:McDonald's
Anti-meme
It is great to see someone who has a real passion for cooking and wants to share that with others. Any time someone says this taste just like my grandmother or mother's cooking is really saying something. May you and all the other chefs in your kitchen live long and happy lives.
Video: Indian cuisine
Background music: 2 Chainz interview
Yes finally. Our comments about generic Indian music have been read and answered!
Finally something that is not sitar and tabla
@@pussyeater69 happy to support a cause
For people not understanding we are talking about part from 1:30
Our traditional dishes are erolpa, Hidol chutney,etc.. basically all of them includes the dried fish paste (mashed with colocasia stems and lemon leaves). Here you go
What part of India are these from?
@@brandonpinto5290 Im from Assam, it's basically used by People of Manipur, some parts of Tripura and Sylhet. I'm a Bishnupriya Manipuri and it's our traditional delicacies.
@@krishnapriyasinha1744 wow nice!🔥I'm from South India. Specifically Mangalore in Karnataka . I've had a manipuri lecturer and also a few classmates from your region. I would love to try your delicacies!
The way he said " Chingudi " , awh man! Goosebumps! ❤️
I would love to visit this place.!!. I am from Arunachal Pradesh and of all the Indian food that I have eaten so far, Kashmiri is the best.. very high quality food, balance of spice..so good.. watching this at 4 am in the morning.. so hungry, thank God, I found a pack of Lays magic masala in my kitchen..
Still hungry?
I am an Odia and haven't heard of chingudi khatta but sounds like something we would do. He's right about the mustard, though.
Dahi baingan, ghuguni and dalma is famous.
Finally a restaurant which serves something different than the so called typical "indian food"
For some reason, I recognise his voice
@SpangeBab Lmao. This is funny as hell. As an Indian who has worked at a call center before, I can totally relate. I remember a white girl once said to me, " Are you the same guy I spoke to before? All you Indians sound the same".
I agree. There is so much variety in our cusine and it is great to see it being explored and spread to the world like this! Keep it up! All the best!! Thank you for hosting this segment! Everyone stay safe!!
I am hungry now
Yeah food keeps everyone happy and together, at least in Bharat. Amazing food ❤️👌🏻
👍😍I love Indian food, so I’m sure I will love this café’s food too. Thanks. 🤗💞🤗
@2:55 I love those big wooden round things behind him. 😍
Those are wheels of a chariot
YOU FOUND ME - 👍I thought so, but didn’t want to wrongly assume. They’re beautiful.😍
@@LovingAtlanta the surely are, you should also Google konark, the temple has such wheels made out of rocks
Would love to visit India one day. This cafe would definitely be high on my list.
In 4 days this will get a minimum of 2M views
No
6 months in, it didn't even cross 1.6M
Not even today LOL🤣
Not yet
Not even today
I would love to try all of this. Cheers to people who liked hope you have a wonderful 2020!
Aromatic spices straight from the lota 👌
As a syrian christian from south India I can without any doubt say that those chicken stew looks exactly how my mother makes it.
Love the spices of Indian foods! Marvelous👍🏻❤️
Food from Odisha(Indian State) is highly underrated.
One small recommendation.
You can add *Rasogolla* also known as *Rasgulla* in your menu
It is an extremely delicious *desert* from the state of *West Bengal and Odisha*
Tastes shit and you can get it everywhere. Too common . bye.
Bruh everyone knows what rasgulla is.
@@ashsqx3246 Then maybe you can try some Komola bhog, misti doi , pantua , Chanar cake , patishapta, dudh puli , bhapa pithe etc.
Don't worry Bengal has enough sweet dishes to bless you with diabetes for your next 7 lives.
@@RRC879 tried them all they make me vomit. Ugh
@@ashsqx3246 Not a sweet tooth I see. Stick to the spicy and savoury dishes then. They're mouthwatering as well.😅
I swear, there are so many Indian dishes to try but you can't get all of them everywhere..
I love Indian food got to say never heard of these dishes but would love to try them sadly don't think I'll ever find them on sale in England.
Find some Indian friends and ask em to cook some for you!
@@SV-mc1jq where I live in a rural village basically in the middle of nowhere there's no Indian people around here.
You won't find the star fruit (karamanga in Odia language) in England. I rarely find it in Indian metro cities.
@@PARTHASARATHISAMANTARAY We found one here in maharashtra. My mom bought it. I've tasted it. Very strong sour taste but that's what I live for lol.
The best part of living in India is the food
I'm Indian but I have never seen these foods
Must be a north indian cuisine
That’s the point
@@stevencooper4422 i'm from west indian
@@InztaHarriche I'm from south India, kerala
I’m glad somewhere someone is cooking different than what other restaurants have.
*laughs in northeast india*
Yeah....no one bothers to represent North east....that makes me very sad as a northeastern
@@kaybea2881 hey that's not the case , there is north-eastern cuisine represented there.
Here in mysore we have a restaurant which represents GARO food as well.
Pretty well known now.
@@satwikseven that's great to hear :)...yes there are some places which sell northeastern traditional cuisine....but I was talking about places like these in particular which claims to have authentic dishes "from all over India " but has no representation of north east
Northeast has great representation. Dude we have momos in every hotel now
There was Tingmo! From Sikkim I suppose
_Thank you_ for finally FINALLY showing the sheer diversity of Indian food. 💖
And all these dishes are _awesome_
Incredible India!🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There are just too many varieties of Indian food. Such a beautiful incredible nation. Jai Hind
I'm Indian 🇮🇳
I love how they’re showing the authentic Indian/Pakistani food. Not the stuff you get from your local Indian takeaway, but the true hidden gems.
Sitra Ever These recipes were developed when India and Pakistan were one country. It therefore belongs to both.
Sitra Ever During the time of the British rule in India resources for Indians (Pakistanis) were low, most people had the same thing. This was around the time those dishes were created, as he said in the video it’s a very simple dish.
Sitra Ever Over the whole of India (during British rule) people ate many of the same things (including Pakistanis). Some people say they love Indian food and just credit India for it even though it may belong to both. Overall my point is people don’t give credit to where it also originated from, just the place they think it’s from.
Sitra Ever this is getting sad now .
Sitra Ever I understood perfectly well. It’s just sad and a little funny how you had to go to name 10 dishes to prove your point. 🤣
I really wanna try that meat curry
That is the chicken stew from Kerala
I was expecting this place to be in the US or UK before the video started but to my surprise it’s really REALLY close to my home !!!! Dinner plans made 🙋🏽♀️
This is just like 20% of the indian food
Kshetrimayum Reagan less
Not even 2% dude
The guava subzi at 1:53 looks amazing; so does the leaf salad in the center.
Is no one going to comment on the NAME OF THE PLACE? 🤣
Lota
Did you not watch the video? They clearly said Lota
SKAOG PlayZ the cafes name is lota. Which also means a pot you wash your ass with
@@mehreenmalik1869 not really it's just a utensil which people use for multi purpose.
Cafe lota in Delhi
I have been to this place thrice. It has a nice and cozy traditional Indian set up. Food is good. If you are a handicraft lover and happen to be in New Delhi then National Craft Museum (where this cafe is located) is a place to check out.
bold of you to assume ive never heard of these
Ikr I was worried I wouldn't recognize them but atleast paapdi chant pata hai😅
Great to see cusines being served from parts of india...indian cusine is vast and cannot be represented in its whole...really appreciate what you guys are doing...suprised to see chicken stew from our cusine .
कल ही जा के खाता हूं। मेरे ऑफिस के बगल में ये रेस्तरां है। मैंने आज तक यहाँ ट्राय नहीं किया था
