5 Places In Delhi That Offer An Amazing Teppanyaki Experience

With long spatulas, umami aromas, and an array of sauces, vegetables, and meats, teppanyaki is a style of cooking that’s dramatic, visual, and eye-catching. It’s the theatrics that makes for a unique dining experience, and so we’ve curated a list of places that serve teppanyaki in Delhi. By Anushka Goel

Teppanyaki is a Japanese cooking style, an amalgamation of two words — ‘teppan’, which means a hot iron plate, and ‘yaki’, which means grilling. Thus, teppanyaki cuisine consists of meats, vegetables, noodles, rice, and more, cooked live on a hot grill and served to customers.

In recent years, Japanese cuisine has gained popularity among Indians, with the famed sushi and dim sum finding a place in takeout boxes or in-restaurant dining across the country. And with teppanyaki being a healthier form of cooking, with marinated meats being cooked to perfection and a medley of vegetables being stir-fried right in front of awestruck customers, the cooking style is slowly gaining popularity across the globe and in India.

However, while Japanese restaurants are plenty in Delhi, those serving teppanyaki-style cuisine are limited, but the experience in restaurants is unmatched. Whether it being an entire teppanyaki menu or just a couple of dishes to choose from, these restaurants are doing their bit to introduce the technique, which emerged over 200 years ago, to Indians. And we’ve rounded up the places that offer teppanyaki in Delhi so that you can experience the fresh flavours yourself.
