The Moscow-Dehli Express has moved to a new location with cozy chairs and poufs, polished wood tables and lots of native home furnishings — the space feels like a hospitable Indian family's home, where you have been invited for dinner as the guest of honor. In this restaurant there is no a la carte menu, but three vegetarian meals made with organic products for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Just come in and enjoy whatever the Indian cooks have prepared, at an average price of 1,200 rubles per meal. Every day they cook up something new, so you can come back often and never be bored.
One day it was Kashmiri mint soup to start, pancakes with date chutney as an appetizer, and a nice big plate containing a wide variety of different traditional dishes, such as pumpkin curry, basmati rice with mint pesto and much more.
On another day, the menu boasted delicious parsnip and tamarind soup, or spinach and peanut rolls with sesame and green chili chutney. Accompany your meal with fragrant masala tea or Indian herbal tea.
Everything is made by hand on site, without using almost any appliances. Natural lighting and incense create an atmospheric ambiance.
The only slight difficulty diners may encounter is communicating with the waitstaff, who speak French, some English, and not much Russian. But that all adds to the sense of being far away from Moscow.
At the entrance to the restaurant you will be asked to take off your shoes, and that's where the homey atmosphere begins. There are only about 10 tables, so you need to make a reservation beforehand for dinner. Once you have settled in, you can stay for a long time — as if you were visiting friends.
Moscow-Delhi is a unique place where you can dive into the culinary and cultural traditions of India.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
