Delhi Belly Brings Bengali Flavor to Alhambra

Their culinary creations feature fresh ingredients, halal meats, and authentic Indian spices that they grind in their kitchen.

Ghosh's culinary journey began when came to California, leading a development team for a celebrity Indian chef opening an upscale contemporary Indian restaurant. After successfully opening two other prominent, upscale restaurants, he was ready to launch Delhi Belly. Revamping the restaurant location and installing a tandoori oven were keys to the dining experience Ghosh wanted to bring to Alhambra.

The restaurant also offers a range of unique regional dishes from all over India, prepared with fresh ingredients, halal meats, and in-house ground seasonings.
