Delhi cious

Delhi-cious is the National Curry Awards-winning Indian takeaway tucked into Cutpurse Lane — the narrow side-street that runs off Richmond's cobbled Market Place towards the Friary Gardens. The shop carried away the North Yorkshire Takeaway of the Year title at the National Curry Awards, and the recognition has translated into a sustained reviewer base across Tripadvisor, Just Eat and Restaurantji with overall scores running well into the upper end of the rural-Yorkshire Indian-takeaway range. The kitchen runs an authentic Indian card with strong vegetarian breadth — the vindaloo and korma ends of the spectrum alongside chef-special combinations, tandoori grills and a balti range — with attention to spice levels and freshness picked out repeatedly in reviewer comments as the shop's defining feature. The Cutpurse Lane position puts Delhi-cious within an easy walk of the King's Head, the Castle Hotel and the Market Place pub run, giving the shop a built-in evening collection trade from Richmond's tourist accommodation alongside its rural delivery catchment out to the Dales villages. The shop is halal-certified, reflected in the directory marking. Online ordering runs through Just Eat and the major aggregators, with collection from the Cutpurse Lane counter avoiding the Market Place parking that fills on Saturday market days.
