If you've spent any time on American social media, sitcoms or pop culture at large, you likely know Olive Garden at the back of your mind as the birthplace of internet breadstick discourse, or the chain whose ‘When you're here, you're family’ slogan has been memed into the stratosphere.
As of this week, this American-Italian food chain is a Delhi thing! And yes – every entrée here too will come with the famous never-ending soup or salad and those warm, freshly baked breadsticks. The brand’s also got plans of expanding across NCR, and many other major Indian cities. For now, it’s open to the public at Aerocity’s World St.
The menu, meanwhile, thankfully sticks close to the classics, such as Chicken Alfredo, Lasagna Classico, Chicken Parmigiana, and the Tour of Italy, which the restaurant says are slightly tweaked to local preferences. Decor here’s said to evoke an Italian countryside villa, while sticking to Olive Garden’s core of shared, suburban comfort dining. Tableside Parmesan grating and strong vegetarian options are naturally in, while portions are, reportedly, very much in the Olive Garden spirit.
Olive Garden’s first Indian outpost was brought here by Gourmet Investments Hospitality Group, who’re the same folks behind India’s introduction to Chili’s, PizzaExpress, and P. F. Chang's.
