The Gupta burger, chole bhatura and soya chaap were AMAZING! However, was disappointed with the rabdi jalebi and another dessert we had! Overall great atmosphere and service by Tanmay!

4/5 Stars Came solo and ordered way too much food to try the menu – here's the honest breakdown: STANDOUTS: Dilli Dilli Tikki ($18) – Finally, a place that makes it RIGHT with lachas instead of boiled potatoes. Crispy exterior, soft inside, proper dahi and chutneys. Authentic Delhi street food vibes. Yellow Daal ($22) – Chef's rec and it delivered. They do the tadka tableside with desi ghee, garlic, and jeera. Proper home-style comfort. Koyla Chicken ($24) – Well-marinated chicken thigh with that distinct mustard oil flavor. Juicy and balanced, though I'd personally want more heat. Wenger's Shammi Kebab ($20) – Made with goat and lentils, soft texture (think galouti-adjacent), nice khade masala flavor. Solid. Chilli Parantha – Really good, would order again. GOOD BUT NOT MIND-BLOWING: Chilli Cheese Toast ($16) – Nice cafe-style snack, balanced and cheesy. Does what it's supposed to do. Gupta Burger ($24) – Uses the same tikki as the chaat, soft bun, good coleslaw. Tasty combo but felt a bit pricey for what it is. Jalebi & Rabri – Rabri was nice, jalebi more crispy than juicy. Not too sweet which I appreciated. National Mutton Curry ($34) – Rich desi-style gravy, authentic taste. Goat was slightly chewy but the flavor made up for it. COULD BE BETTER: Ram Laddoo ($16) – Chutney was bitter and it was just the daal laddoo without the juicy meetha component. If you know Delhi Ram Laddoo, this might disappoint. Chicken Momos ($20) – Basic and underwhelming by Delhi standards. House chutney was nice though. Rumali Roti – Underwhelming. AMBIENCE AND SERVICE: The restaurant looks just as good as the pics on their website. Nice low-light cozy theme, very aesthetic. I’ve heard wait times can be long but I went right at 5 pm opening so it was empty and service was quick. Staff was friendly and attentive – water glasses were being refilled without asking. Hospitality was solid overall. Chef Vipul came by to chat about the restaurant’s journey and story – you can tell there’s genuine passion here. They’re trying to bring authentic Delhi flavors to the table, and mostly succeeding. Worth a visit if you’re craving legit Delhi street food. Go with a group so you can try more dishes!

Recently tried Dilli Dilli, located right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan near Times Square. It’s a cute little spot, perfect for date nights, with Indian-inspired decor and vibrant green plants that give it a warm, cozy vibe. The food was actually really good — full of authentic New Delhi–style street food flavors, exactly what you’d expect when you visit an Indian restaurant in the middle of Manhattan. What we ordered: Starters: • Dilli Dilli Tikki • Koyla Chicken • Gilafi Paneer Mocktails: • Coconut Dillight • Divine Love Main Course: • Kaju Pista Kofta • Pandara Road Butter Chicken • Roomali Roti • Butter Garlic Naan Every dish we tried was delicious, flavorful, and true to Indian taste. However, I personally felt the portion sizes were quite small for the price. Most dishes had only 3 pieces, and it would be much better if they served 4 pieces — it looks better visually and also justifies the price. Because of the smaller portions, we had to reorder some dishes. Considering the Times Square location, the pricing is understandably a bit high, but the portion size is where I felt they fall short compared to other Indian restaurants in NYC. The wait time was also on the longer side — we waited around 20–30 minutes for our food to arrive. But the presentation was nice, and the staff were extremely welcoming. They kept checking in to make sure we were enjoying everything. The restaurant was full and packed, so it was even hard to take pictures 😄 Overall, I had a great time — lovely service and flavorful dishes. Just wish the portion sizes were a little bigger for the price!

The food was delicious. Their paneer is the softest and tastes great. On the contrary, the service is a little slow. Getting the water or your coke refilled took a long time and multiple requests. I suggest having additional staff as this is the second time I have been here and faced the same issue. More staff and additional attention will make the experience more enjoyable.

Went to Dilli Dilli in Times Square, NYC for my dad’s birthday with family. The chicken and Bombay sandwich (love the seasoning on the chips!) were highlights, and the appetizers, especially the bhindi, were great. Drinks were interesting — the Old Fashioned was strong, the mocktail a bit sour, and the tequila “Golden Something” had achar pickle, unique but okay. Sabji was average, desserts were good, and service was excellent. Ambiance is nice, typical NYC Indian fusion, though a bit pricey with parking. Overall, a fun night with family!

Overall really convenient location and very flavorful food. Big downside is that they can't really customize to your taste if you want something spicy or mild, etc. which makes me think everything is pre-made already. All the food also came out lukewarm and not hot as it would be if freshly made. Also just like all other good Indian restaurants, this place is expensive as well for the portions they serve. Reservations are required but we were able to walk-in at about 630pm. We got the Onion Seed Naan (asked for crispy, didn't happen), side of Basmati rice (always a shocker that this is not included and costs $8 for a tiny bowl of white rice), Daal Maurya and Highway Paneer (asked both to be spicy and they weren't). Taste was good on everything though so worth a visit if you don't want to stray far from Times Square want decent expensive Indian food. Everything tasted good but came in tiny portions. We're used to sharing 1 entree between the 2 of us but here even the 2 entrees were barely enough to make us feel full and satisfied

Good vibes, but the food was a 6/10 and didn’t live up to the hype. Portions felt small for the price, and the place seems to be aiming for high-end without fully delivering. That said, the manager, Dipen-ji, is an absolute rockstar!

Great ambience, pleasant experience, serving sizes are Small which could be good or bad subject to your preference. Short Menu which I found good as it helps make quicker and easier decisions on what to have. The quality of food is good/decent, does not exceed expectations in any way however. Overall rating for this restaurant would be 6.5/10 considering the Food served and 8/10 on atmosphere/ambience, Menu Photos attached for reference. Pre-booked reservation with a HOLD on Credit Card through Open Table so no wait times for seating for 2.

First, the quantity of dishes is very less. Second, the flavors are catered to those who prefer less spices. The hero dish was the chicken momos. Didn’t love any other dish in particular. We tried Dilli Dilli Tiki (the aloo tikki was crispy which we loved but the flavors were sweet), chole bhatura, Gilafi Paneer, gupta burger & jalebi. Wouldn’t recommend it to someone looking for authentic Indian flavors, this is definitely a toned down version!

Had the most amazing Indian meal here I have ever had. Absolutely fantastically cooked food and an explosion of tastes. The cocktails were superb too. Can't recommend this place enough and the staff are great. I would describe it as Indian with an Ibizia vibe. Great job guys. A must visit place in New York not far from time square.
