Moti Mahal Delux slowly became a must visit for world leaders and tourists. Several decades of history and numerous restaurants in the Indian subcontinent and overseas makes Moti Mahal Delux one of the most admired and renowned Mughlai food destinations in the world. In July 2012, amidst much anticipation, Moti Mahal Delux was introduced to the West by Gaurav Anand (also owner of Bhatti Indian Grill in Midtown and Awadh on the Upper West Side) with the opening of this upscale restaurant in the heart of New York City.
