When confused about what to have, you can never go wrong with a comforting bowl of ramen. However, perfecting the dish is not easy, and only a handful of restaurants manage to strike that right balance of delicate flavours. If you’re craving a hot bowl, check out our list of best ramen places in Delhi NCR. 

Best Ramen Places In Delhi

Kampai

Kampai in Aerocity brings you a slice of Japan in New Delhi. The restaurant also has an outpost in Vasant Kunj. Known for its traditional techniques and ingredient-forward approach, the restaurant is a must-try if you like Japanese cuisine, particularly Ramen. 

While their sushi and sashimi are undoubtedly among the best in the city, their ramen roster is exhaustive and has something for everyone. Their spicy sesame ramen and mushroom truffle ramen are great picks for vegetarians. The tantanmen ramen bowl (chicken, bok choy, shrimp broth, and chilli oil) and shoyu ramen (umami broth, pork belly slices, boiled egg, sweetcorn, bamboo shoot, and wakame seaweed) are two other standouts from the menu. 

Pair your ramen bowls with your preferred drink. Ikigai, koi, and Samurai and some of their most cherished cocktails. However, choose cherry blow, tropical delight, or yuzu spark from their mocktails. 

Address 02, Ground Floor, Worldmark 1, Aerocity, New Delhi

Long Fish By Ramen Donn

Long Fish by Ramen Donn in Gurugram is a haven for ramen lovers and is dedicated to the soupy dish. The restaurant offers a host of mazemen, donburi, and ramen options on its crisp menu. Their tori paitan, chintan, and tonkatsu are standout ramen options that you shouldn’t miss. 

Naruto’s ramen is a weekend special and another hit from their menu. They also have a separate roster for vegans. The black garlic mazemen and roasted miso paitan are some that you must try.

Mensho Tokyo

Mensho Tokyo is a small space in GK-2’s M Block Market dotted with eateries. The restaurant serves Asian and Japanese cuisine and is considered by many to be one of the most underrated spots in the city to try a hearty bowl of ramen. An exhaustive list that features something for vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and meat eaters alike. 

Vegans and vegetarians must try their kimchi ramen, vegan spicy garlic ramen, or vegan goma negi ramen. Non-vegetarians and pescatarians shouldn’t miss their chicken chintan ramen, pork tonkotsu, spicy lamb ramen, and spicy tori paitan. One can also choose to go for gluten-free noodles. In addition, Japanese-cuisine enthusiasts in the capital city greatly love their salads and raisuboru (rice bowls).

Zuru Zuru

Tucked away in the bylanes of Shahpur Jat, Zuru Zuru is a hidden gem that has mastered quietly charming discerning foodies. The space is compact and can only fit up to six people at a time, but the flavours coming from this tiny little establishment are big and enough to keep you coming back. The best part is that Chef Navika’s commitment to using quality seasonal ingredients ensures that you always have something new to try from their ever-evolving menu.

However, if you’re specifically looking for ramen, we recommend the tonkotsu ramen. For those who love a bit of surprise, the coconut litchi cold ramen is a must this summer. They also have a wide selection of izakaya specialities like gyozas and yakitoris. For the best experience, we suggest booking a spot in advance and, if the weather permits, grabbing the cosy spot on the balcony.

Address: Shop number 1, 1st Floor DDA market, Shahpur Jat, New Delhi, Delhi 110049

Timings: 1–4 pm, 7–10:30 pm

Kioki 

If you are in the mood for fine dining, then Kioki is just the right spot. It offers a moody take on the Japanese izakaya experience with creations that balance refined techniques and simplicity. While the menu is expansive, offering izakaya favourites, the chasu ramen stands out for its bold yet sublime flavours. For vegetarians, we recommend you dig into the burnt garlic ramen, which is comforting and pairs extremely well with the appetisers on their menu. Don’t miss out on their ingredient-forward cocktails that pack in just as much surprise in terms of flavour. To know more read our review here.
