INJA Restaurant

I'm all for chef-driven restaurants, and Inja is easily one of the best I've visited in the country. For a nation that tends to "Indianise" every cuisine imaginable, it's shocking that I haven't come across a place that seamlessly blends cuisines as disparate as Indian and Japanese until now. One focuses on heat and depth of flavor, while the other prioritizes freshness and cleanliness; yet, Chef Adwait does a remarkable job marrying the two. We went for the tasting menu and I highly recommend it. It's so good that it is actually difficult to pick a favorite. The Ganne ka ras is seemingly a simple dish, but getting the balance right on it is one of the most impressive things I've seen in a restaurant in years. The bread course—Mangalore buns with filter coffee butter—transported me right back to my ancestral home. It's the best Mangalore bun I've had that wasn't made by my grandmother or mother. The Crab Kuzhambu with Chawanmushi is the dish that best personifies the restaurant's name and philosophy, walking a tightrope of flavor with perfect balance. I love the idea of the cocktail menu focusing on the five senses, and the drinks really live up to the expectations set by the gorgeously designed menu. We had the Galaxy, the In-Ja Picante, and Inja's Essence, all of which were lovely. However, if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Bouquet—a delicate, masterfully crafted cocktail. All of that would go to waste if the service wasn't up to par, so thank god Inja has Jennifer. Not only was she great conversation, but she also knew every dish like the back of her hand, pointing out the subtleties and themes across the food and cocktail menus. We truly had the most wonderful time. Inja has shot all the way up to become my favorite restaurant in Delhi.

Had the best time at Inja! I chose this special place to celebrate my birthday with my family, and it truly exceeded all expectations — from the warm hospitality to the incredible Indian–Japanese fusion cuisine. The staff was wonderful — friendly, attentive, and so knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot on! Our favourites: Shiso Leaf Banarasi Chaat, Palak Paneer Sarda, Koji Chicken Wings, and the Nepalese Chicken Miso Soup. I’ve already saved my next visit for exploring the mains! A big thank you to Chef Adwait for making the evening extra special with a birthday cake and such thoughtful service. Definitely a place for special occasions — or anytime you want to make a meal feel truly memorable.

Outstanding food, presentation,taste and quality.. must must try.. very courteous and knowledgeable staff. Jennifer served us and she was awesome in providing the best recommendations for our family. Chef Adwait stopped by and got our feedback.. they have great vegetarian and non vegetarian options for anyone who wants to try something new and exciting..

INJA is a must go place. On our first we tried 3 dishes, one cocktail and one dessert. My fav is Banarasi chaat and tantanmen ramen. I am definitely going back to try other things on menu.

From the moment you step inside Inja, you’re welcomed into an ambiance that’s both inviting and elegantly refined. The interiors strike that sweet balance between cozy and stylish—perfect for a relaxed dinner or a memorable night out. What truly elevates the experience is the food—crafted with creativity, precision, and bold flavors that linger. Every dish feels intentionally curated, but the standout element is undeniably the touch of Chef Adwit. Whether it’s a playful twist on traditional cuisine or an unexpected flavor pairing, Chef Adwit’s artistry is evident in every bite. You can taste the passion in the thoughtful garnishes, carefully balanced spices, and artful plating. The service team is equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and supportive. They’re excellent at guiding you through the menu and helping match each dish to the perfect drink to complement it. Cocktails and mocktails are another highlight—fresh, balanced, and visually stunning. It’s the kind of place where you truly feel you’re getting more than just a meal—it’s both an event and an experience. Inja feels like the restaurant equivalent of poetic storytelling, and with Chef Adwit at the helm, it doesn’t just stand out—it shines. A must-visit for anyone looking for dining with both heart and soul.

The vibe of this place is simply peaceful. The staff is very nice and well versed on the food served. Compliments to the Chef for deconstructing the local recipes and merging them with Japanese condiments. I highly recommend this place.

The food by Advait is the best ever and Jenifer and rest of the team are extremely hospitable and prompt in service Definitely a must visit restaurant for most amazing food

Everything about INJA was classy! Food was amazing, such a wonderful play on Japanese food using local Indian ingredients. Loved it. The service was impeccable, we were given such great recommendations. Do not miss the tuna and pomelo salad or even the gobhi 65 sushi (something I would have never tried but for the recommendation). The lobster rasam chawanmushi and the lamb chops were simply amazing! It is pricey so really a special occasion place but if you like fusion food, must give this a try!
