NEW DELHI, June 11, 2026 — is drawing higher footfall as the restaurant updates its menu and reinforces its position as a go-to place for Bihari cuisine in India’s capital. The dining spot is serving traditional favourites like litti chokha and Dalpitti alongside newer regional offerings that reflect authentic flavours from Bihar.
The updated menu responds to rising interest in traditional regional food across urban India, with diners citing strong demand for dishes such as Maithili Thali, Tomato Chokha and Pudina Chicken Pulao. The restaurant reports steady customer turnout throughout the week.
Why the focus on Bihari cuisine matters
Restaurant owner Puja Sahu says the curated menu bolsters Bihari food’s visibility beyond local festivals and family gatherings. “We want to show that regional cuisine has a place in contemporary dining without losing its essence,” she said. The Potbelly’s approach combines slow-cooked preparations with familiar accompaniments that appeal to a broader audience.
Customer response and experience
Patrons have responded with positive reviews for the varied dishes and comfortable ambience. The restaurant’s location in a historic Bihar Niwas setting has also added cultural context to the dining experience. Reviewers note the balance of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options in a family-friendly setting.
Expansion and future plans
The Potbelly brand, which began as a smaller venture focused on Bihari regional cooking, has been planning expansion into other major Indian cities in the coming years. Industry watchers say this reflects a wider trend of regional Indian cuisines gaining traction in metropolitan dining scenes.
