The flavours of Delhi are arriving in Leeds this summer 🍴

A premium Indian restaurant which is popular in Newcastle, Sunderland, and Leicester, is set to open their largest location to date in Leeds city centre this June.

My Delhi which specialises in flavours inspired by India’s capital city will open at Hepper House on East Parade, a Grade II listed building which spans over 6,000 square ft.

The Leeds restaurant will feature a main dining hall, alongside a private dining room and a cocktail-led bar.

Elahi Shah, Director of My Delhi said: “Leeds felt like the right next step for us. We’ve always focused on doing things properly, and this gives us the space to take that further.

“The food remains the same at its core, but the overall experience has been taken up a level. It’s a more complete version of what we’ve been building.”

My Delhi’s menu will reflect the breadth of Delhi’s food culture, from Indo-Chinese dishes such as Cauliflower Manchurian, to tandoor cooking rooted in Old Delhi.

The menu will also feature slow-cooked dishes including Emperor’s Stew, a rich nihari-style curry, as well as Butter Chicken 1950s and 1947 Black Dal, both closely linked to their origins in Delhi.

My Delhi chef Gaurav Dayal said: "Our cooking has always come from Delhi. That hasn’t changed.

“What Leeds allows us to do is present it in a more complete way, while keeping the character of the dishes intact."

Originally founded four years ago, My Delhi has reached national acclaim.

In 2023, just one year after opening the restaurant was named best Indian on BBC Two’s British Top Takeaways, and in 2025 My Delhi was featured in the Best Curry Guide.
