The largest of Old Delhi's monuments is the Lal Quila, or the Red Fort, the thick red sandstone walls of which, bulging with turrets and bastions, have withstood the vagaries of time, and nature.

Even today, the Lal Quila is an eloquent reminder of the glory of the Moghul era, and its magnificence simply leaves one awestruck. It is still a calm haven of peace, which helps one to break away, from the frantic pace of life outside the walls of the fort, and transports the visitor to another realm of existence.

Tandoori Description

Tandoor is an oven made from Indian clay, a simple artifact which does things like bake bread, roast lamb or chicken. The Tandoor is kept at a high temperature with charcoal which heats the walls, this heat then radiates together with the smouldering charcoal and does the cooking. This process seals in the goodness and the smouldering charcoal lends the food a special flavour.

Karahi and Balti

They are traditional Indian cast iron cooking vessels which are kept sizzling hot and gives extra flavour to the dishes.

The presentation of the food in Indian cuisine is a subtle combination of various aromatic herbs and fragrant spices. Each individual dish is artfully prepared by adding appropriate ingredients and blending spices at various stages of cooking to impart its own distinctive flavour.

We at "The Red Fort" have dedicated every effort to present you with the truly gastronomical art of Indian cooking through the medium of traditional tandoori and curried dishes.

The Red Fort is open 5pm - midnight (Mon - Sat) and 1pm - 11pm (Sunday)
