Paneer appears in many forms across the Delhi catalogue, from grilled starters to saucy mains. The useful distinction is what role you want it to play. A dry starter is a snack or an addition to dinner; a curry usually needs bread or rice. Start there, then read the seasoning and ingredient details.
A starter is not automatically a meal
Paneer tikka and similar preparations may arrive without an accompaniment. If you want dinner, look for a stated combo or add the bread, rice or other items you need. Check whether chutney and salad are included before ordering duplicate sides.
A creamy paneer gravy and a dry paneer starter can both be enjoyable, but they do not answer the same craving. Compare items within the same preparation style for a meaningful price comparison.
Look beyond the vegetarian symbol
Paneer is a dairy ingredient. A vegetarian marker does not mean vegan, dairy-free, nut-free or suitable for every dietary need. Sauces can contain additional dairy or other ingredients that are not visible in the title. Ask the restaurant directly when those details matter.
Plan the accompaniments
A curry with bread is a different basket from the same curry with rice and a drink. Build the whole meal before judging value. If the serving size is unclear, check it with the kitchen rather than treating a low price as proof of a large portion. The catalogue prices shown here are approximate examples.
