Royal China at The Chanakya, New Delhi, has long been a favourite for those who take their Chinese food seriously. On a recent afternoon, I revisited this elegant 100-seater to catch up with an old friend over lunch\u2014and left reminded of why this restaurant continues to hold its place among the city\u2019s most reliable Asian dining addresses.<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t a tasting of their newly launched menu; instead, it was a deliberate dive into some of their classics. We ordered what we felt like eating, chose on instinct, and let the table fill slowly\u2014no pressure, no pretension, just good food and conversation.<\/p>\n

A Dim Sum Prelude<\/p>\n

We began with dumplings, of course. The Lobster and Caviar Dumpling was a showstopper\u2014luxurious and perfectly steamed, with just the right brininess from the caviar. The Prawns and Black Pepper Dumpling brought in a pleasant hit of spice, wrapped in a delicate casing. While one of the dumpling wrappers arrived a little torn, it didn\u2019t take away from the overall finesse of the offering.<\/p>\n

From the cheung fun section, we picked the Asparagus and Shitake Cheung Fun, a silky rice noodle roll layered with texture and flavour. What caught my eye was the extensive cheung fun selection\u2014I counted at least ten varieties on the menu, which is rare and commendable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The standout among the small plates, though, was the Turnip Cake with Burnt Garlic. Soft inside, crisp outside, and served with Royal China\u2019s excellent chilli oil, it was easily one of the best dishes of the meal. Humble ingredients, elevated through perfect execution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Main Course Harmony<\/p>\n

For the main course, we shared the Chilean Sea Bass with Ginger and Spring Onion, paired with pokchoy. The fish was cooked with a light soy and a hint of chilli garlic, letting the natural flavours shine through. It was delicate, comforting, and deeply satisfying.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

To go with it, we ordered the Truffle and Scallop Fried Rice\u2014a dish that surprised us with its generous use of scallops. At \u20b9625, it\u2019s a remarkably well-portioned dish, easily serving three people. The truffle aroma wasn\u2019t overpowering, and the rice was light enough to pair well with the fish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Finish Line<\/p>\n

We wrapped up the meal with Ho Fun Noodles, broad rice noodles cooked in a chilli sauce on the recommendation of my friend who swears by Royal China\u2019s consistency. He wasn\u2019t wrong\u2014the noodles had just the right bite and heat, and rounded off the savoury courses beautifully.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Then came an unexpected delight: Caramel Custard. It\u2019s a dessert I personally love but rarely find on menus anymore. Here, it was firm, well-set, and lightly sweetened\u2014the perfect end to a leisurely lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A Return Visit is Already on My Mind<\/p>\n

While I didn\u2019t try their new dishes this time, what stood out was the consistency and quality of what I did eat. Royal China doesn\u2019t chase trends\u2014it perfects what it knows best, and the result is a meal that lingers in memory long after the table has been cleared.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m looking forward to next, though, is their Unlimited Dimsum Lunch, a weekday special that\u2019s been creating buzz for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n
