SoCal Restaurant Makes It To Michelin’s “New Discoveries” List

India-West News Desk

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Michelin Guide has unveiled its latest list for 2024 in California, with Manohar’s Delhi Palace in Le Puente securing a coveted spot on the midseason “new discoveries” list.

Michelin said, “Manohar’s Delhi Palace is a mainstay thanks to their delicious Punjabi cuisine, and there’s a welcoming vibe about this place, where the waitstaff is especially friendly and attentive. Indicative of its north Indian focus, the food here leans on the milder side, so don’t expect an onslaught of spices. Order à la carte or go all in on the tandoori dinner but be sure to get an order of the samosas, fried to a perfect crisp with that comforting filling of potatoes and peas. Chicken tikka masala features a generous amount of tender and juicy chicken that’s skewered and seared before being added to the vibrant sauce. For dessert, the gulab jamun is a clear winner.”

Whether the Indian American restaurant will receive a coveted Michelin star or be designated as a Bib Gourmand selection will be known at a later date this year – yet to be announced – at a Michelin Guide ceremony in California.

The Michelin rating system:

One star: high-quality cooking, worth a stop; two stars: excellent cooking, worth a detour; three stars: exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey. Bib Gourmand: friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices.
