Lore: Where Every Dish Tells a Story The new restaurant at Radisson Delhi MG Road is more than just another hotel dining room—it's a meditation on memory, migration, and the soul of Indian cuisine. There are restaurant openings, and then there are restaurants that announce themselves as something different. Lore, which launched on the 17th of January on the first floor of the newly opened Radisson Delhi MG Road Hotel, belongs firmly in the latter category. The name itself is a clue. In an era when restaurants desperately grasp at portmanteaus and Instagram-friendly monikers, here is a place that calls itself simply what it is: a keeper of stories, a repository of culinary folklore. And that, as I discovered over the course of an evening, is precisely what it sets out to be. The Premise The concept is deceptively simple: cuisine carries the soul of cultures. Food is never just food—it is memory, migration, adaptation, and survival. It is the Kashmiri Pandit who carried his family's korma recipe to Delhi in 1990. It is the Anglo-Indian community that married British technique with Indian spice. It is your mother's interpretation of her mother's recipe, slightly altered, irrevocably yours. What Lore attempts—and largely succeeds at—is to put this philosophy on a plate. This is not fusion food in the tired, anything-goes sense of the term. Nor is it the kind of desperately authentic cooking that treats every recipe like a museum piece. Instead, it occupies that fascinating middle ground: respectful of tradition, unafraid of reinterpretation. The Food Let's begin with the Dory Roast, because it encapsulates the restaurant's approach. Spicy grilled John Dory arrives with broken wheat kedgeree and dusted gooseberries. On paper, it sounds almost academic. On the plate, it works. The fish is European, the preparation Anglo-Indian, the kedgeree a reminder of how British breakfast became Indian comfort food. The gooseberries add a tart surprise that cuts through richness. This is cooking that knows its history.
