Everything is amazing there, except they do not provide complimentary cakes( not even small mini cakes ) on special occasions like birthdays and all, had to get a small cake billed(It was amazing though)
Simply Awesome! Chef Vaibhav is doing an amazing job. Rita, the host was excellent while Himanshu was impeccable in his knowledge and service. 🤩 STRONGLY RECOMMEND FOR VIETNAMESE FOOD
Food tastes good but quantity is too less making it looks fancy . Feeling of warmth and filling is not there cause the food quantity is too less that it is served like a fancy complimentary item . Must taste their dim sum . Music is too loud
One of the best restaurants near Qutab. Good food, great Ambience and amazing service.
The food was great!
Vibe was lovely, we visited on a weekday, and hence was less crowded.
The presentation of the food is genuinely great! Taste is amazing. If you enjoy oriental or asian food, you will surely LOVE the food here!
The craving for Vietnamese food was heightened after seeing the glorious menu for the Vietnom event so I planned a visit to Cho in Ambawata, near Mehrauli. The whole complex is full of buzzing fancy restaurants such as Cho, Rooh, Kakapo, Bougie and Miso Sexy.
We started with Aperol Spritz and Campari Spritz and Vietnamese cold coffee alongwith starters Pork Gyoza, shrimp mousse on sugarcane skewers which were so tender and it was such a delight to nibble on the juicy sugarcane sticks after eating the shrimp kabab. The Ban Xeoh was a super crunchy crepe filled with prawns which we wrapped in a lettuce leaf to be devoured with some picked radish and 2-3 other condiments and Bun Cha was a patty which had to be wrapped in lettuce leaf with some rice noodles. The chicken with lemongrass was tantalizing our taste buds sitting on a bed of crispy potato fries. The Vietnamese chicken tacos were a revelation wrapped in pandan leaf which gave the dish a medley of textures.
The starters had us decently full so we just ordered 2 mains one was the sizzling fish which was served with rice noodles as a base and a Vietnamese chicken curry with a portion of steamed rice, both the dishes were top notch. On the recommendation of Himanshu, our server (special mention to his excellent service and attention) I'm glad we tried the toffee pudding which was a warm slice of date cake with a sticky toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream, it was polished off in seconds 😊. Such a fabulous meal it was, keen to try out a few of the other restaurants in that complex next time 😊
The ambience is very authentic and the chicken paper rolls were awesome. We just found the service a bit slow but it's worth the wait
We are so happy that we tried this restaurant out tonight. It had been on our visit list for a while. The restaurant had a function tonight but still accommodated us and provided excellent service. The phó was delicious, and so were the appetizers. We also tried the lemongrass chicken too. Everything was tasty. The cocktails were also well crafted. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with a nice ambiance.
A place that has an awesome ambience and a beautiful Terrace with the best view of Qutub minar , it's a great place to dine in the night time with such a beautiful view.
Food is good and so is the curation of menu with lovely drink options. Even the desserts are really amazing
This was my first experience with Vietnamese cuisine. The flavours were amazing and so was the presentation. Not sure how true it was to the authentic Vietnamese flavours but it was great. The flavours were distinct. Not something you would consume on a regular basis. Had dumplings, rice paper rolls and some other rice dish. A view of brightly lit Qutub Minar will add to the experience. Loved the Vietnamese coffee. Though found it to be a bit expensive. But can't complain as the experience was premium. Definitely recommend when you want to have fun with a different cuisine and have some good money to splurge.
My husband I came for a Sunday brunch for the first time. It was a rainy day so we sat inside on the main dinning room and not up on the terrace. We enjoyed the small dishes (appetizers) more than the main courses, perhaps because they were more creativity and flavors than the main dishes. The hot Vietnamese coffee was quite diluted. I drank 3 cocktails and they were all good. It wasn’t cheap, so I won’t be able to make it my cantine, but overall, I had a nice meal and good experience, thus I will come again.
@chonewdelhi My girls and I came for a Sunday dinner for the first time. It was a rainy day so we sat inside in the main dining room and not up on the terrace. We enjoyed the small dishes (appetizers) more than the main courses, perhaps because they were more creative and flavors than the main dishes. The hot Vietnamese pizza was delicious. I drank 2 hot cocktails and they were all good. overall, I had a great meal and a good experience.
Good ambience, nice view and food is good. The quantity of food is a bit less than the price. However the taste is good. Music is fine. Can be opted for a nice evening with a beautiful view of Qutub minar.
Great vietnamese food. The best part is the Qutub Minar view.
Pricing is at a higher side, but i think based on the quality of the artistic vietnamese cuisine, its justified.
We had alot of non-veg items, we were not dissapointed.
We loved the pork ribs and chicken chilli dumblings and hanoi chicken wings.
Fabulous view of Qutub Minar at night. Service and food also superlative.

If you go to CHO then do reserve your table at the rooftop. It has amazing view of Qutub minar. It has an elaborate menu from which you can order scrumptious food which is healthy as well.
Do order Pho which is soup with rice noodles and herbs and vegetables. I would like to call it as one pot meal too as it comes in a big bowl. It comes with some twelve kind of seasons that you can put to enhance the taste further.
The wall behind the bar counter has vertical herb garden that they use in making their cocktail and even food.
I had ordered whiskey sour but I was not that great, but the Mocktail strawberry crush was good.
You will find dishes out here in sharing style. Therefore the big soup bowl comes with small soup bowls. Even the dumplings were so light with the right kind of flavor. They were just melting it the mouth.
I find the Thai curry delicious and with jasmine rice it was magic.
I had visited the place at night so couldn't capture the beauty of qutub minar landscape. Would love to visit during daytime too.
Overall it is worth visiting for the food, the ambience and the hospitality.
