As the Childrens Discovery Museum's preferred Indian caterer this was the ideal venue to partner with Yelp to hold their largest PLEY event yet.

Voted as Yelp's top Indian restaurant...real people gave real, raving reviews.

On Saturday, January 30th, over 1,500 people came from all over the Silicon Valley and Bay Area to resurrect their inner child at Yelp’s Silicon Valley PLEY Open Party at the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose. (Possibly the geekiest place on Earth.) It was an incredible night full of tasty drinks, delicious bites, hands-on activities and festive performers.

As the Museum’s preferred Indian caterer, it made perfect sense for us to be in the middle of the festivities. This was also Yelp’s biggest PLEY event yet.

New Delhi Restaurant was located in the Water Works section of the Museum, with mini samosas and tamarind chutney. We’ve also been named Yelp’s Top Indian Restaurant, so it was nice to meet some of our fans face-to-face and hear their reviews from them personally.

Sarah Dey (Ranjan’s oldest daughter) wo-manned the table, shook hands, answered questions and reportedly had a lot of fun. That’s her with CDM’s director Patty on the homepage.

Visit the Yelp page for more information about this event and hints to the next one.

New Delhi Restaurant had a lot of Yelp help munching on mini samosas and "PLEYing" in the wacky Water Works section of the Museum.
