The Best Japanese Restaurants In 2025 In New Delhi

Call Me Ten

Call Me Ten is a progressive Izakaya Japanese restaurant and omakase bar that pays homage to classic Japanese techniques while embracing reinvention.  Divided into two levels, Level 0 offers an energetic and social ambience, while Level 1 provides an exclusive omakase bar. Since it’s summer, we recommend their Japanese Caesar salad, featuring an almond crunch and onion miso cream. For a curated tasting palate of 18 parcels, try their gyoza platter served with house-crafted sauces – each distinct yet harmonious. To start your night, we recommend the chicken tsukune skewers, zaru soba, and truffle-slicked edamame hummus. End the night with a deeply satisfying tiramisu.

ADRIFT Kaya, JW Marriott

Of course, we had to mention a restaurant helmed by a Michelin-star chef. ADRIFT Kaya, helmed by chef David Myers, is a modern take on a Japanese izakaya at the JW Marriott Hotel New Delhi Aerocity. Designed by the globally-renowned furniture designer Timothy Oulton, the interiors blend traditional Japanese izakaya elements with a contemporary twist, creating a chic yet cosy vibe. The open kitchen and sushi bar offer counter seating, reminiscent of an izakaya. But the cocktails here deserve a special mention, inspired by the fruit-forward drinks culture of Ginza, Tokyo. We recommend the Pachinko Highball, inspired by the popular Japanese whiskey highball, and the Suika, a refreshing blend of Japanese gin, yuzu, Aperol, and watermelon, perfect for a balmy summer afternoon.

Hikki

Hikki, a modern Japanese and Peruvian dining restaurant and bar, adds to Delhi’s vibrant dining scene. Red tiles, fluted wood, tropical greens, and expansive mirrors create a refined yet raw atmosphere. A striking olive tree, a symbol of Peruvian heritage, serves as the centrepiece. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of ‘hikikomori’, Hikki redefines it to create an immersive experience, transporting guests to a state of escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The restaurant blends meticulous Japanese techniques with Peru’s vibrant flavours, offering signature dishes like Black Cod Robata, Pickled Vegetables & Brie Sushi, Pork Belly Donburi, Seafood Ozisushi, and Nikkei Gyozas.

Guppy

Guppy, the much-loved Japanese restaurant from the Olive Group of Restaurants, deserves a mention here. Hands down, one of the most underrated spots in Delhi has launched its annual Hanami festival. Raise a glass and enjoy its vibrant atmosphere, accompanied by their curated menu featuring authentic specials. A must-try is the Cold Hiyashi Tantanmen, a chilled ramen served with sesame-flavoured broth, spicy ground chicken, and fresh vegetables. Their Avocado & Palm Heart Salad is a good way to begin a meal, and sushi lovers can dig into rolls like the Veggie Volcano, Sakura Vegetable, or Exotic Fish Volcano. For heartier appetites, we suggest the Grilled Lamb Chop, which is pure comfort in a bowl.
