If you're searching for Chinese food in Brantford, here's a delicious secret: some of the best "Chinese" flavours in town come out of an Indian kitchen. Delhi Palace's Hakka menu is Indo-Chinese cooking — the wok technique of Chinese takeout, turned up with Indian chillies, garlic and ginger. Once you've tried chilli chicken over Hakka noodles, ordinary takeout is hard to go back to.
Everything you order from Chinese takeout — with more flavour
Noodles? Hakka noodles, wok-tossed with vegetables and your choice of chicken or shrimp, from $15. Fried rice? Try chilli garlic fried rice — smokier and garlickier than the usual, from $16. Sweet and sticky? Crispy honey chilli cauliflower and honey chilli potato. Soup? Hot & sour and Manchow, both loaded. Dumplings? Hand-folded momos, steamed or fried, from $14.
The dishes that made Hakka famous
Chilli chicken is the gateway: crisp-fried chicken tossed in a fiery chilli-garlic sauce with peppers and onion — order it dry as an appetizer or with gravy over rice. Manchurian — vegetable, cauliflower or chicken — comes in a glossy soy-ginger sauce. Chilli paneer gives vegetarians the same hit. New to the cuisine? Read our full guide to Hakka food.
Spice you control
Hakka runs hotter than typical Chinese takeout, but our kitchen dials every dish up or down on request — and there's a whole Indian menu of butter chicken, biryani and fresh naan on the same table for anyone who wants milder comfort. See the full menu with photos.
