We are thrilled to announce that New Delhi Restaurant has officially been named a San Francisco Legacy Business! It was a long journey – over 30 years! – but we made it. Only 239 business have achieved this honor and we are proud to be the first Indian restaurant and the first South Asian-owned business to make the list.

Speaking at the hearing at City Hall, Chef and Owner Ranjan Dey commented, “New Delhi Restaurant continues to be a constant in this vibrant, ever changing city. What began as an Indian restaurant, focused on serving incredible Indian cuisine with a San Francisco twist; quickly turned into an irreplaceable stitch in the fabric of this community. We continue to serve our unique recipes, while uplifting the Indian community, serving as a bridge to the wider San Francisco Bay Area, and creating global citizenship through our charity- Compassionate Chef’s Cafe. We are humbled to accept this legacy business nomination.” Hear Ranjan’s full remarks here.
