Raga by Gaggan Anand

For Delhi diners chasing a serious fine-dining night rather than a conventional dinner, Raga by Gaggan Anand is a strong yes, especially when the occasion can carry a long, immersive tasting format. In a city with growing appetite for chef-led Indian dining, this is the one to choose when discovery matters more than choosing dishes in advance.

A 42-seat room built for a 22-course reveal

The key decision point is format: this is a 22-course progressive Indian tasting experience, with a menu diners do not see beforehand. That makes it a poor fit for anyone who wants à la carte control, a quick meal, or a predictable order. It makes far more sense for an explorer who wants to hand over the evening and see how the meal moves across India’s culinary range.

The 42-seat scale matters. This is not positioned as a large, flexible dining room; the appeal is a tighter chef-led experience that is meant to feel immersive rather than routine. For late-evening planners, treat it as the main event, not a spontaneous stop after another reservation. The 22-course structure asks for attention and time.

The draw is Gaggan Anand's language, with Rydo Anton built into the identity

Name itself signals the partnership: RA for Rydo Anton and GA for Gaggan Anand. Group Executive Chef Rydo Anton is part of the creative identity here, not a background credit, while Gaggan Anand’s return to New Delhi gives the room its bigger pull for diners who follow modern Indian fine dining.

Book this for a special-occasion meal where surprise is welcome and the table is comfortable with a set progression. Skip it when the priority is flexibility, visible menu choices, or an easy social dinner where the food can sit in the background.
