In Delhi, fish and chips looks less like a British chippy and more like a plate of tandoori fish or a crisp tawa fry eaten standing at a roadside counter. Ratings across this list run from 3.9 to 4.4, a tighter and lower band than most Delhi food categories post, which tracks with how polarizing a roadside fish stall can be depending on the night. Original Paramjeet Machhi Wala carries the most weight regardless, at 4.2 stars across 1,580 of the 4,092 reviews logged here.
Short answer: Original Paramjeet Machhi Wala in Moti Nagar leads with a 4.2 rating across 1,580 reviews, by far the deepest record here, famous for tandoori fish eaten standing or from your car. Udham Fish Point (4.4, 900 reviews) and Sahni Fish Corner (4.4, 379) score higher on average. Expect to spend roughly ₹400 to ₹1,400 per person, depending on portion size and how much fish you order.

Original Paramjeet Machhi Wala
4.2★★★★★1,580 Google reviews
Original Paramjeet Machhi Wala is a decades-old fish joint near Moti Nagar metro, known across north and west Delhi for tandoori fish and barbecue. It serves fried and tandoori fish, tikka, seekh kebab, and other non-veg dishes, with fish on the menu year-round. There's no real seating, so regulars eat standing or dine in their cars while attendants help with parking. It's a roadside institution built on one thing done at scale.
What people praise
- Reviewers call the quality top notch, with tandoori and salmon fish singled out
- Fish available all year, a rarity locals point out
- Fast service, plus staff who help you park
- A long-standing name regulars rank among the city's top fish spots
Worth knowing
- It's on the pricey side, and portions run heavy, so order in smaller 250g rounds
- No seating, only standing or car dining
- A few reviewers found it overhyped, or the fish dry on an off day

Our take: Paramjeet ranks first not on rating, its 4.2 is the lowest of the top three, but on sheer proven volume: 1,580 reviews dwarf everyone else. When that many people keep coming back over years, it's the safest bet for consistency. Best for a tandoori fish run when you don't mind eating on your feet.

- Open very late, until 1am, with car dining
- A visible, clean kitchen behind glass
- Generous portions noted by some longtime regulars
Worth knowing

Our take: Here's the honest call: Blue Water Grille carries the lowest rating on this list at 3.9, yet ranks third because 899 reviews give it real weight and a long history. The trade-off is consistency, so it's best for regulars who know what to order rather than a first-timer.

Claim this spot › How we rank these fish spots
Every score here is pulled straight from public Google data. Rating is the live star average. Review volume is how many diners rated the place, ranked against its Delhi peers. Confidence weights the rating by that volume, so a 4.4 on 379 reviews carries less than a 4.2 on 1,580. Recency tracks how lately people still leave reviews. No restaurant can pay to change any of these numbers.
What does a fish plate in Delhi cost? (2026)
Price at these spots tracks the fish: the type, the weight, and whether it’s a tandoori preparation, a tawa gravy, or a simple fry. Dine-in tends to cost less per head than a delivery order once packaging and portion inflation kick in, and heavier tandoori portions push the bill up fast. The ranges below reflect what diners themselves reported spending.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Per person, dinner | ₹400-₹1,400 |
| Fish tikka or fry (250g, about 6 pieces) | around ₹550 |
Ranges reflect per-person spend and portion prices diners reported in these restaurants’ July 2026 Google reviews.

What to check before you order
- Which fish is fresh today, and how is it prepared, tandoori, tawa, or fry?
- What weight comes in a portion, and how many pieces?
- Is there seating, or is it standing and car dining only?
- How’s parking, and is it free?
- Do you deliver, and does the fish travel well?
- Are there veg options for anyone in the group who doesn’t eat fish?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. The rankings come from public Google data, the live rating and review volume for each spot. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another restaurant’s score or position.
Is this British-style fish and chips?
Not really. Delhi’s fish scene is built on tandoori fish, tawa fish, and crisp fish fry rather than battered cod with chips. These five are the city’s most-reviewed fish spots, so it’s the closest honest answer to a fish-and-chips search in Delhi.
How did you choose these five?
We compared Delhi’s most-reviewed fish restaurants and weighed each one’s live Google rating against its review volume and how recently people still review it. We analyzed public data rather than eating at each place ourselves.
Which is best for a first visit?
For a landmark tandoori fish experience, Paramjeet is the safe bet on sheer volume. If you’d rather sit down and choose from a broad fish menu, Udham Fish Point scores higher on rating.
How often is this page updated?
We last verified the ratings and review counts in July 2026 and refresh them as the public Google data changes.
The bottom line
For a first fish run in Delhi, Paramjeet Machhi Wala is the safe default, the most-reviewed spot in the city, as long as you’re fine eating standing or in your car. If you want a seat and variety, Udham Fish Point edges it on rating. Order smaller portions to start, since the tandoori fish here is heavier than it looks.
