A stylish contemporary Indian small-plates restaurant with creative regional dishes, generally attentive table service, and a strong food reputation, though cocktails, value, consistency, and one serious gluten-safety report warrant caution.
Amaltas pairs flavorful, well-executed Indian small plates with attentive table service and thoughtful bread pairings, earning strong food quality that most diners praise. Its stylish Greater Kailash-2 setting and cocktail-led atmosphere add real appeal, though uneven visit-to-visit execution keeps it just short of the very top tier. Allergy and intolerance communication is the main caution for diners with dietary needs.
Amaltas is a polished, intimate dining room above the lively M-Block Market, with warm décor, window seats, and an atmosphere that suits a date, family dinner, or small celebration. Reviewers often describe the service as quick and quietly attentive—one memorable account says water and plates were refreshed without anyone needing to ask—while the market setting adds energy without turning the room into a party. The food is the main reason to come: contemporary Indian small plates and mains borrow from regional traditions but happily take detours through champagne butter, Sichuan pepper, hummus, coconut-tamarind sauces, and playful desserts. Savoury jalebi chaat, Champagne Chicken Tikka, Kachampuli Chili Chicken, goat dishes, and the chocolate-jaggery pudding receive especially strong praise. The menu is genuinely creative rather than traditional comfort food, and cocktails are more divisive than the kitchen; several diners find them inventive, while others consider them overpriced or uneven. Families can dine comfortably, with a broad vegetarian selection and familiar choices such as chicken wings, chicken tikka, kulcha, dal, rice, and pudding, though the menu is designed for curious sharing rather than a conventional children’s menu. The restaurant lists many gluten-free and dairy-free dishes, but a recent detailed report alleges wheat exposure in a roti presented as pure ragi, so guests with serious intolerance should verify preparation and cross-contact directly before ordering.
