PS: Located behind the popular Cours Saleya on a small pedestrian only street (The same street that has the popular Ice Cream shop called Fennochio's)

Indian food as we know it in the UK isn't Indian food - it's a British interpretation of Indian food from the days of the Raj. Delhi Belhi offers a further hybrid, being a French take on a British take on Indian food. But the menu is a lot less confusing that the definition - everything is there: lime pickle (which is a generous portion, none of these thimble-sized servings); thali (a curious variation with a variety of different dips to try); aloo saag (quite simply the best I or my partner had tasted in our entire lives); vindaloo - the list goes on. The wine menu isn't bad (the Sancerre is good) and the ice-cream is gorgeous.
All this is set into a backdrop that resembles a higgledy-piggledy Indian street: random photographs and advertising material, low lighting, incense and I'm sure I saw a bicycle wheel at some point.
It's well priced, and after a week or so of the same old menus in Nice (let's face it, variety isn't exactly the objective in a lot of restaurants - carpaggio of beef, anyone?) a very welcome change. So if you want a casual meal where the atmosphere and food get 10 out of 10, then give it a try. We even gave it the acid test and went back, and sure enough, it was excellent again.
