Great Indian food, you won’t be disappointed but also won’t be pleasantly surprised!
1. Had high hopes with Dal Maurya for its 36 hr cooking session but felt like its was just butter and butter. Dish felt more of a butter which had Dal in it and less of a dal which had little butter to enhance its taste! Wouldn’t recommend going with high hopes!!
2. Ambience is great, they play great bollywood remix songs. It’s definitely fun to dine here. Although tables are way too close, which isn’t unique to this place, that’s NYC thing! It’s not cozy and private vibe kinda place for two people as the people sitting next to you could clearly hear your conversation and vice versa!
3. Food quantity is decent, neither too large nor too small portions. Buttery heavy dishes make the moderate quantity feel large!
Overall, great place, worth the money!!

I went to Dilli Dilli last weekend with a few friends and honestly, we had such a good time. The vibe was nice, the presentation of the food was beautiful, and everything we ordered was full of flavor.
For drinks, I tried the Gol Gappa Margarita and Golden Hours. I loved both of them! The Gol Gappa Margarita was so unique and fun — something different from the usual cocktails. Golden Hours was smooth and refreshing. Definitely would order both again.
For starters, we had the Dilli Dilli Tikki. The potato texture was more like a hash brown, but it was packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. We all really liked it. We also tried their famous Gupta Burger, and I can see why it’s popular. It actually reminded me of the burgers I used to have at McDonald’s when I was younger — that nostalgic, comforting taste. I would 100% order that again when I go back.
For the main course, we ordered Soya Chaap Tawa Masala, and it was honestly the best one we’ve had so far. The spices were just right and it was cooked perfectly. And the best surprise was the veggie biryani. It’s not even on the menu, but we requested it specially and they made it for us. And believe it or not, it was so yummy! We literally loved it and appreciated that they accommodated our request.
For dessert, we had to try their famous Chavanni Jalebi — and I’m so glad we did. I absolutely loved it! The perfect sweet ending to our meal.
Huge shout out to Amar for taking care of our order and for veg Briyani.
Overall, such a great experience. Good food, great flavors, and definitely a place I’d go back to again.

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!

Definitely a top 5 Indian spot in Manhattan. All the chicken apps were incredible and the chicken biryani was my personal favorite. The portion sizes were also very satisfying. Great ambience and the cocktails were very unique

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!

We had an amazing experience at Dilli Dilli! We ordered the tikki, which was really good, and the kadhai paneer with rumali roti was absolutely outstanding — truly the highlight of the meal. The shahi tukda was also delicious and the perfect sweet ending. Honestly, this is some of the best Indian food I’ve had in NYC. Highly recommend!

The food, ambiance, and service here are on point. We had Faiz who was an amazing server. Very attentive. We came here as a party of five.
Our favorite starters were the Koyla Chicken and Dilli Dilli Tikki. So flavorful. We also loved the Kulafi paneer, literally melts in your mouth! Old monk lamb chops had to have been some of the best lamb chops I’ve had. Seasoned to perfection and full of flavor.
For our mains we followed the recommendations and indulged on chili paratha paired with butter chicken and lalaji ka daal. The daal was so comforting and rich. Punjabi bagh ka saag was phenomenal and took us right back to our roots of familiar Punjabi comfort food.
Everyone enjoyed every single cocktail. Popular were the golgappa margarita, dill se, Delhi Negroni, and the Old India. Each drink was crafted perfectly and was well balanced.
For dessert we loved the jalebi and shahi gulab jamun. What a phenomenal meal.
They were child friendly and gave my son a mango lassi and plain naan which he loved.
Hats off to Chef Vipul who is already a sincerely amazing person on such a great culinary experience in Times Square no less.

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!

Dilli Dilli has genuinely become my weekend ritual in NYC. I come here almost every weekend, and it never disappoints. The service is warm, attentive, and they always make us feel so well taken care of.
The food, honestly some of the best North Indian food I’ve had in the city. My go-to order is the Lachha Paratha with paneer dishes… absolutely unbeatable. The layers on the paratha are perfect every single time, and the paneer is always so fresh and flavorful. Their starters are always on point, and even the desserts hit the mark every time.
The ambience is cozy, vibrant, and makes you want to sit there for hours. They’re also super accommodating, which I really appreciate since I’m practically a regular now.
If you’re craving authentic Delhi-style flavors in NYC, this place is a must. I can’t recommend it enough!
