Their chicken pakoda from MEAT BASKET and the chicken they serve with LITTI was tasteful, however I didnt really like their mutton pakoda nd KEEMA AALOO CHOP that much.Location is a PLUS.

One of the best restaurants in Delhi for Non veg lovers. They do offer some delicious veg dishes also. The food they serve is mouth watering. I truly love the taste of food and the portion. Definitely worth a visit.

If you like Bihari food, you must put Potbelly in your gastronomic map. Their Champaran mutton curry with laccha parantha are delicious.

If you are looking for flavors of Bihari cuisines, visit Pot Belly Bihari Kitchen at Shahpur Jat (located within 15 minutes walking distance from Green Park metro station). They have a wide variety of genuine Bihari cuisines such as Litti Chokha, Bhojpuri thali,Safron Bundi and many more. 😋😋

I went to this restaurant with very less hope to find something good to eat but was very pleasantly surprised since the rice chicken combo was really good.. even the apple lemonade was awesome... The service was great as well...The climb till the 4th floor can be tiring for some..Known for its bihari dishes.. a must visit if you are in vicinity..

The place has some vibe which makes you come here again and again. The coziness and the comfort you get at this place is just nit comparable. The food is just amazing and staff is also very nice. Ever want to try some bihari cuisine dont give a second thought for another place, just come here and enjoy the best bihari food. The only con is that this place is at the third floor and you have to climb stairs and not to forget its not having a disabled friendly entrance. So if you can compromise on these thing do check out this place.

Review №15

I have no qualms in stating that Potbelly is one of my favourite restaurants in Shahpur Jat, as well as the whole of Delhi. I have been there multiple times, and always look for reasons to visit it again. If you love to try regional Indian cuisines and Bihari food is on your list, this is the place to visit. The ambience is amazing and the dishes are priced fairly reasonable. A must-visit restaurant. Recommended- almost everything tastes brilliant but my personal favourites are Litti chokha, litti chicken, machli goli, and sabudana basket. Bon appetite!!

Its a nice place but lost the authentic taste of Bihar and the reason is quite obvious; they no more follow the basics. In a brief interaction with owners they accepted my observation and assured of using the Real raw material instead of localised work around.

We had ordered Sabuddana basket, champaran style mutton and Bihari burger. Although a bit on the expensive side, you will not regret coming here. It was authentic bihari cuisine and worth every penny. Give it a try if you can.

What a wonderful place! In spite of the steep climb, this place was absolutely worth it. The food felt like good old home made food. Plus, the ambience and the service was wonderful. Lovely views of the trees. The furniture is just beautiful! Definitely try and sit in the open air section if you can, especially during rains or winters. And the fact that it was good value for money was a great plus. Must visit.

One of the best places in Delhi to try Bihari cuisine. Though now they have increased the prices to almost double from how they started, the taste is still the same. Always recommend this place.

Cute, quaint, tiny, and amazing. Look up the cuisine before you go, but the food here is absolutely brilliant. The aesthetic is very chic as well. This is a great brunch spot.You do have to climb about 6 flights of stairs tho, so be warned. However the experience on top--with gorgeous windows and the green seas of the Shahpur Jat treetops--are worth the climb.

Good place to have Bihari Cuisine. It was my first time to have any Bihari Dish. But the taste of each dish was superb. We ordered litti chokha, litti with mutton, Chicken with pav, chicken biryani, fish goli, dal pakoras and some beverages. Everything was very tasty.The ambience is also good. Just one issue is there, there is no lift to the restaurant. I went there with my parents. The staircases were very narrow. The restaurant is at I think 4th floor. So we had to go all the way up through stairs. So, it can be a little hard for elders to go for all 4 floors with that narrow staircase. But overall food experience was good.

Staying away from home and getting the homely feel that too in a cafe/restaurant is a worth go for the foods they serve and authentic taste the foods have. The best best Bihari cuisine to die for. The varieties of platters and starters are must try. Went with a group of friends for lunch. It was fun exploring and diving into so much of Bihar-ka-swad! Bs ghar ki yaad aa gyi. @Potbelly, planning to come n visit you very soon.☺️ Already spreading and saying our friends to must go there. The goodness of taste we had there was superb!!!🤟Yo Bihar!🥳 Delhi belongs to everyone, indeed.

Review №37

One of the most amazing culinary experiences in the city. A very creatively curated menu. For the starters, we tried the Keema Goli, and a poori platter with minced fish that bad a strong mustard flavour (cant remember the name). These really set the tone for an hour long hogging that we did on the main course (khada chicken with lacha parantha, chicken stew with rice). Lovely food, friendly staff, and overall, a great experience.

SFirst things first, if you miss your mothers food, visit The Potbelly Cafe for an amazing home style food. Its one of the best rooftop cafes in Shahpur Jat. The Cafe serves extremely delicious Bihari food (not just Litti Chokha). The food here speak volumes about the authenticity of flavors. The taste is very unique and superb. Anyone who wants to try authentic regional cuisine (Bihari food) must visit Potbelly Cafe.The reach to the restaurant might be exhausting, but the quality of the food here is worth every climb and may be one step more.

A place to njy authentic bihari cuisine... Must visit if you are a bihari food lover....Both veg and nonveg options are available.... Its advisable to book your table ahead as the seats are limited.... Parking space is ample......And yes... Ranchi pulao, litti chokha, and champaran mutton are some of the highlights..... Desserts are traditional yet tasty..Deducted one star because of the enterance of the cafe... Steep stairs for 4floors is one of the biggest cons

Its a decent place to enjoy Bihari cuisine. They have 2 outlets, there is one inside Bihar Bhawan, Chanakyapuri. This place serves the famous litti choka, daal bhaat, sabut daanan puri, sattu paratha, & more. The taste is delicious without any complaints so far. I have tried their both outlet and they both have good taste.The only thing about this outlet is - its very compact for bigger groups. The entrance to the restaurant is so risky that you cant imagine if there is any emergency situation (just in case).The entire street is like that only which is really unfortunate. There is a free parking just 200 Mt from the restaurant. Located on 4th floor with a very tiny staircase. The roof top is too small that can takes only 10-12 people.

Bihari food to the core. Some curries are too hot to handle and will have steam coming out of your ears. They have two outlets, one in Shahpur Jat and another near Bihar House. Beautiful seating arrangement with the outdoor seating area being the icing on the cake. Staff is polite and courteous. The mutton is excellent and the non veg pakoras are to die for.

Review №46

As its a rooftop cafe so you have to climb 4 floors and that will be irritable BUT BUT BUT the ambience is really very good and worthy. There is greenery , painted walls, and views from this care are so soothing. You can enjoy chilling winters or monsoons with hot tea , coffee served with different kind of pakoras. Even for summers they have very good option like summer coolers , shakes. Best thing here is you can enjoy #SUNSET from this cafe.. you can capture beautiful moments. They serve bihari cuisine. If someone want ro smoke,then they have smoking area also. Food quantity and quality boht are good and they maintain hygiene.. If i talk about price - according to me it will be marked in the pocket friendly cafe category. I ordered maggi , litti chokha and tea pot and my bill was ₹650 approx.

Its a must visit place if you want to relish authentic bihari cuisine. It offers various Thali options in main course. If you are in a group then Paratha platter is a good option to begin with.Litti Chokha thali is very filling so is Mythil thali. Mythil Thali offers palak puris which are not easily available in other cuisines. You can end your culinary experience here with Teheri which is a rice variety with aroma of spices. There is not much variety in desserts but Makhana khir is a good option. Entrance to the place is quite demoralizing but food washes it off. Enjoy

I loved it and it is highly recommended. It was served with traditional chicken, aalo bharta and chokha👍Meat pakora basket had chicken pakoras and meat pakoras. It was succelent and really good in taste 👍The only negative thing is it is located on the 4th floor with no lift service. You have to make you way up till the 4th floor through narrow stairs👎👎

A perfect place for Bihari Cuisine..last time I visited their another branch which is Chanakyapuri & this time I was actually looking for Rooftop Cafe which is in Shahpur Jat, New Delhi outlet & I was really impressed with the interior. And, the food is just amazing..A must visit place in Delhi. The best part is actually you can try something different from your regular meal. We ordered Litthi Chokha Platter & Dalpitti. It was so delicious.Parking is so easy here & Also located on 4th floor but worth every penny visiting it.

Great place to have Bihari food... Loved their starters and main course.We tried the sattu cooler and Mirchi masala lemonade. Both was good but I preferred the lemonade. Sattu cooler is besan powder+ water+ sugar. Its different but a bit heavy.For starters we tried the fish choka on marua roti. The waiter had recommended it though I wasnt sure when I read fish paste ( reminded me of canned tuna) but the fish was absolutely delicious. The Puri was crispy and the fish filling just tantalizing.For main course we ordered the golmirch chicken, champaran mutton and khada masala chicken. All were great and highly recommended

A place for north indian food(not for old age people or who has arthritis problem because place is on fourth floor without lift), a little pricey with less stuff means you cannot fill your stomach with one full dish you have to look for another dish, but food is delicious there, staff behavior is very supportive. So overall nice place to have dinner.

Delicious food for the Bihari taste bud. Was great to be there on my birthday. The hospitality and the ambiance is of rooftop like the restaurant itself. Totally loved it. The only drawback we found was the narrow stairways to the restaurant which gives you a good cardio workout 😉. In all it was awesome. We ordered Sarson fish, Chicken spiced, fresh lemonade and apple lemonade. Got lipsmacking Makhana Kheer as complimentary. It was delightful ☺️☺️

Pros: 1. Rich, spicy and delicious bihari food. I had litti chokha and pathakha French fries.2. Service is also good and you dont need to wait much long.3: Clean and well maintained with a soft music being played.Cons : 1. No lift!😢 To have the delight, you need to use stairs and reach 4th floor!!2: Washroom! Yaa, it is on the 2nd floor and only a single washroom is there though excellent!3: Litti chokha @320 plus taxes!! I mean any person from bihar would get baffled after seeing such rates! However, its delhi not bihar! 😂

So, heard a lot about this place, famous for its authentic Bihari food. Found it to be upto the mark. The khada masala chicken platter was perfect. Ekdum desi! The raita couldve been a bit better, to be frank. The menu was really good. The desert section couldve been a little more innovative to suit the theme, would love to see something more authentic for desert.To top it all, The decor was amazing as well.

Its a beautiful place.😀 And very nice ambience.Good for the people looking for a rooftop experience and want to eat authentic Indian food (Bihari cuisine).I personally felt it to slightly overpriced (1200 for 2 without drinks and dessert).Tip: its situated on the 4th floor so if you visiting the place wash your hands first on the second floor else you will have to climb down just to wash the hands. 😉

Finally went to this place for a meal after wanting to go here for the longest time. Lunch with my sisters. It was our good luck to run into the owners on the table next to ours - the lady quickly got one of the dishes changed to give us more variety. Drinks were so so. Loved the Sattu salted drink but the Iced Tea had honey which I personally dislike. Litti Chokha was nice. But the Onion bhajji was wow. We were delighted when the owner sent us a platter of 6 types of chutneys - amazing stuff. Lovely hospitality! Great food. Highly recommend.
