A Dream Plated
in Delhi's Heart
Yellow Paprika was born in 2009 from a single dream: to create a restaurant where every guest feels like royalty and every dish tells a story. Founded by culinary visionary Chef Arjun Malhotra, what started as a 30-seat bistro in Connaught Place has grown into one of Delhi's most beloved fine dining destinations.
We believe that great food is more than sustenance — it's an experience that connects people, cultures, and memories. Every recipe in our kitchen carries a story, whether it's a family heirloom dal or a dish crafted from a recent journey to the Mediterranean coast.
