Zen Restaurant (Since 1992)

Zen in Connaught Place isn't just a restaurant; it's an immersive experience for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine in a truly captivating setting. From the moment you step through their doors, you're greeted by an ambiance that's both elegant and inviting, with tasteful decor that whispers of Asian artistry. What truly sets Zen apart, beyond its stunning looks, is the perfectly curated background music. It's subtle yet soulful, enhancing the dining experience without ever being intrusive. It creates an atmosphere that’s ideal for deep conversations, a relaxed evening with friends, or a romantic dinner. And then, of course, there's the food – a remarkable journey through the best of Chinese culinary traditions. My recent visit was highlighted by two absolute standouts: the Chicken Fried Rice was perfectly cooked, fragrant, and bursting with flavor – exactly what you hope for. But the true star was the Zen Special Chicken. This dish was simply phenomenal, a unique and incredibly delicious creation that I'm still thinking about. Every bite was a testament to their culinary skill and dedication to fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service was equally impressive, attentive and knowledgeable without being overbearing. The staff were happy to guide us through the menu and ensure our glasses were never empty. If you're searching for an authentic Chinese restaurant in Delhi that excels not just in its exquisite food (especially their Chicken Fried Rice and must-try Zen Special Chicken!) but also in creating a memorable dining atmosphere with fantastic background music, look no further than Zen. It’s truly a 5-star experience and a must-visit for any food lover!

I went with my family and we ordered chilli paneer, fried rice, chilli potato, onion rings, dumplings, mix fruit juice, sushi. The taste of Sushi and onion rings was only good. Rest all the dishes had terrible taste. The chilli potato was neither crispy nor flavourful. Chilli paneer and fried rice were both bland. And, was genuinely overrated. Even the atmosphere, the ambience was not that good. No separate space, not even a quiet and peaceful place. Overall, did not like the place.

We had a great dinner on a Friday evening. We especially enjoyed the Indo-Chinese fare. Portion sizes are generous and we had leftovers to take home. The staff was very courteous and attentive. Special thanks to Mr. Ajay who handled our table. The only suggestion I have is to change the music. The bollywood theme was a bit loud for me, otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

It's a nice place to have dinner during weekends in a busy area like CP, where every so-called popular place expects you to wait at least 30-40min. Golden fried prawn was good. Pad thai noodles tasted nice though it tasted more like pasta than noodles. But the dimsum/gyoza was disappointment, I had better in the street side.

Zen restaurant has a great location in Connaught Place. It is very close to Wenger’s, H&M, and Levi’s, making it a convenient spot for lunch or dinner. I had tried their Chinese cuisine before, but this time, I opted for Thai food—Sole fish sautéed with Thai chili and basil—which was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed my lunch with a Long Island Iced Tea. The ambience is good, though not exceptional. The staff is polite and attentive. Their Chinese food is also excellent. One interesting touch is the Chinese zodiac signs card on the table, which provides fun insights into compatibility and personality traits. Overall, I had a good experience here and would recommend it.

The food is delicious and the service excellent. I had dinner here one night and returned the next day for a refreshing beer. The staff and the manager made me feel very welcomed. I recommend.

Food was okay I’m saying okay because according to the price it was not that good. Decent crowd. Most important service was too slow. We waited more than half an hour for our food.

We have been going to this restaurant since 25 years. Grt food. Gud stuff
