This place is awesome and such a great addition to the Wilton Restaurant scene, which is pretty much non-existant, so to find a high end Indian restaurant in this neck of the woods is a treat. This is pretty high end restaurant, with each item specially prepared. It covers a wide area of India, so you can find dishes of all kinds to your tasting. I tried the "Sarson Ka Saag & Makki Ki Roti" on my first visit along with "Goan Fish Curry" which came with two crepe's and rice. Both of them were extremely rich in flavor. Our server "Teju" recommended their special "Mango Dessert" which they had brought from NY , and that turned out to be the highlight of the evening. I have been there a few times since then and found the quality of food to be consistent. read more

Excellent Indian food, beautifully prepared. Very nice people both in person and on phone. Prices a bit higher than other local Indian restaurants locally. Dining Room is clean with booths and tables. Portions are generous, which softens the cost We patronize whenever we have desire for Indian. read more

Our favorite Indian restaurant in CT. The Athithi team is welcoming, true family style. The food is authentic, with flavors you may have never tried before. We've tried about everything on the menu over the years and can confidently recommend this place as a top Indian restaurant in CT. Try one of the cocktails from the incredibly talented barman who comes from NYC a few nights a week to share his passion! read more

Delicious presentation of all dishes with so many levels of flavors. Good attentive service and certainly look forward to my next visit. read more

Athithi offers an amazing cultural experience into the authentic, diverse flavors of India. Incredible food and service alike. Their cocktails and food are SO delicious. Notably, their executive chef, Hemant Mathur, is best known as a tandoor master of traditional clay ovens, and the first Indian chef in the U.S. to earn a Michelin star and retain it across two New York City restaurants! For appetizers, I recommend the achari mushrooms - a bit spicy and very flavorful. The samosa tasting was one of my favorites. Three selections: cheese and jalapeño, potatoes and peas, and lamb. I had the entrees of chicken tikka masala and the Athithi mixed grill which were both incredible. The mixed grill is a great way to try a variety. It comes with lamb chop, salmon tika, grilled shrimp and chicken. Served with rice, and I highly suggest ordering a side of the garlic naan to pair with it. read more

All I can say is wow! What a nice restaurant! To start off, it's a very welcoming experience, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We decided to try 2 lunch specials one chicken korma and one chicken tikka masala. Both came with rice and naan. The tikka masala was so rich and delicious. One of the best versions I've had. The chicken korma was outstanding! The sauce was so creamy and quite memorable! The naan bread was the fluffiest bread I've ever tasted, Just perfect! This restaurant is pretty and the food is spectacular! I can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

Great food and everyone working was so friendly and helpful. Happy to have a nice Indian restaurant so close

Athithi never disappoints. We've been ordering takeout from here for years and it's the BEST Indian food in the area, hands down. The space is cute too for dining in. To all the hard workers at Athithi -- thank you!! read more

Athithi Indian Cuisine, which was opened by the first Indian Chef to receive a Michelin star Chef Hermant Mathur. The menu features 4 authentic dishes from each of 6 regions across india. What we ordered: -crispy okra salad -radga chaat -prawn balchao -pudhina (mint) paratha -goat biriyani -kerela shrimp moilee -the Gemini -the jade My favorites were the prawn balchao which was a goan style shrimp and the kerala shrimp moilee made with a creamy coconut and tomato sauce. Cowner Prince has been in the business for nearly 2 decades and has a passion for bringing good food to great people. I loved how the menu featured classics, but also new items that I had never heard of. I went on a Tuesday night and there were plenty of patrons (regulars and new customers) and a ton of takeout orders. The interior was warm and inviting too! I hope you check this spot out and follow me for more! IG: @angies_foodie_adventures read more

We were in Wilton for the library book sale and stayed to do some shopping at TJ Maxx. We were planning on having dinner at Outback, but decided to look on Yelp for other restaurants in the area. I saw that Athithi had a 4.7 rating and realized that it was in the same plaza just steps away from Outback. Everything was great, the food, the service the overall hospitality. This place definitely has earned the high rating! read more

Second time trying Athithi, this time for takeout. The food was as good as the first try. I'm a confirmed "mild" based on their spice levels as even this was a little spicy for me. Their sauces are tasty, but a little too watery for my preference. I've got plenty of leftovers, and I'm fairly certain the sauces will taste richer upon reheating. read more

I've never seen such a bustling Indian eatery in Connecticut! This one hits the mark in terms of decor, ambiance, and service. We walked in and sat at the bar to avoid the small wait. Our bar keep, Ed, prepared the most masterful drink (we had to keep ordering them) called Botanical Gardens. It's a must try! The food was also tasty and the menu creative, with things I've never seen on other Indian menus. Try the items featuring the lotus, they were great. The lasani gobi was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside with a deliciously balanced sauce. We will return! read more

We were so excited to dine at Athithi, especially when we heard that they had 2 Michelin star chefs at the helm! The dining room was really nice, and our server was attentive. We enjoyed everything we ate, with the stars for us being the Lasooni kebab and lamb kofta curry meatballs! Everything was so flavorful, and they were really accommodating with giving us our ideal spice levels in each dish. We also were able to try Indian beer for the first time! Definitely a cool spot with something on the menu for everyone! read more

The food is delicious. Each dish is unique, and does justice to the regional flavors. Salmon Tikka Tandoori, Chicken Tikka Masala, Methi Matar Malai, Paneer Lababdar, and Kadai Paneer ... all prepared with correct spice levels. The hosts are very welcoming, great service and the decor is beautiful, and traditional. This is my go-to Indian restaurant in Norwalk. read more

Everything was so flavorful, and the dishes are from all parts of India. We drove for a while to get there and it was worth it. The dining room isn't huge, so I imagine they fill up on weekends. I noticed a lot of people do takeout. Service was great. They have a lot of people working, and the kitchen staff brings the dishes out fresh. The owner made our cocktail as the bartender was out. Very polite and sincere gentleman. Some of these dishes, I'd never tried, like the pistachio chicken (lovely nutty flavor) and lotus root kofta (enjoyed the texture). I'd also never sampled jackfruit biryani, which is a delicacy. For anyone looking for a veg biryani option, you should try it! Desserts were sweet and creamy. The Shahi Tukda was akin to sweetened, crispy French toast. I would drive the same distance to eat here again one day, right off the Merritt Parkway in Wilton. So nice to sample new dishes in a casual setting! read more

The food here was fantastic and the service very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely come back here when we are in CT again.

I usually only leave angry reviews but this place deserves my first 5 star rating. The staff is extremely friendly and the restaurant is very clean. They make you feel at home. This is by far the best Indian restaurant around. For the apps get the Lasooni Kebab and the Konkani crab. For Naann get the fenugreek Paratha. I usually get the chicken tikka masala for dinner which is phenominal. Its not on the menu but they will make it for you. The butter chicken is also amazing. The rice is cooked perfectly and even holds well leftover. Although no matter what you get will be great,, follow my recommendations and you will be super impressed. Enjoy read more

I hope you enjoy this review as much as I enjoyed my meal. From fluffy samosas to superb entrees (@ any desired spice level your heart desires), it's easy to forget you're not in India. As an avid explorer, this place definitely marks an 'X' on my map and as you know how the saying goes, "X marks the..." - well, I think you know the rest... It would also be rude of me not to mention the friendliness of the staff. Do you normally feel overwhelmed? Fear not, they make you feel at home here and will even serve you delicious salty shakes (: I hope you to leave this place and think - wow, I now enjoyed my food as much as this review (: read more

Finally good things are in Connecticut. Atithi is a place to visit and enjoy excellent cuisine and experience great service starting with our host Hari. Hari was generous in his hosting mannerism and ensured that the 'Atithis' were well taken care of. The food was truly a delight. From the drinks to appetizers and the main course, everything was well presented and tasty. Our order consisted of the following items and we went with Hari's recommendation mostly. Beetroot cutlets, Crispy Fried Okra, Kosha Mangsho, Phool Makhana ki Sabzi, Dal Makhani, potato and onion Kulcha and tandoori rotis. We loved the food And finally the ambience, it was well balanced to give an Indian look, appropriately lit and even though the place was small it handled a busy place very well. Overall, another visit is surely in the books. This place deserves 5 stars, but I always feel that there is room for excellence read more

Incredible service and food! I had the butter chicken and it was extremely flavorful.

This is a newer restaurant which I would've never guessed because they definitely know what they are doing. The staff was extremely helpful. The waitress took the time to go over and explain the items on the menu. She was very friendly and passionate about her culture. I appreciated that they were willing to make the food as mild or as spicy as I wanted. For a drink I started off with a mango lassi which if you've never had them they are similar to a smoothie, it was very good. The food was excellent. We tried the samosa sampler which had lamb and peas, potato and peas and jalapeño and cheese. All of them were delicious with great flavor. We also tried the achari mushroom and lasooni kebab as appetizers. Both also very good. I always have to get the garlic naan it was warm and fluffy can't pass that up! Whenever I go to an Indian restaurant I always get the chicken tikka masala but this time I decided to try something different. We tried the pistachio chicken which I would say is unique to this place because I don't believe I have seen it at other Indian restaurants. The chicken was so tender, it appears that they tend to use darker meat. The sauce had a good flavor. I truly enjoyed all of the food and I highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the area. I would definitely come back to try more of their items! read more

Athithi Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Wilton, Connecticut

Amazingly fresh and flavorful food. And very hospitable owner and staff. Highly recommend!!

Most important part, the food. The freshness of the ingredients makes the whole difference. No spongy shrimps or dry lamb, your food is either crisp or tender, as it should. Just take a minute to ask the chef about his process, and you will immediately understand why the experience is different from most places. I am already excited to go back and taste the next entree. read more

Incredible food. Try the chicken or veggie biryani, the eggplant, garlic naan...this place is seriously next level.

The quality and quantity used to be good. But this restaurant is no other than any other Indian restaurant. For LASUNI Kabab they charge $26 but they server just four pieces (less than 20 grams each pieces). The only excuse they give "the place has higher rent", which is unacceptable. I DONOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE. You pay 5* hotel price but the quality and quantity never meet your expectation. And at the a you will end up paying $100-$150 easily WITHOUT GETTING SATISFIED. read more

As soon as I walked in.. it smelled wonderful and stirred my hunger immensely. The decor is clean and cozy. Most importantly- the hospitality is outstanding and the food, SO full of flavor and freshness. I am glad found this place and most Definitely will become one of their loyal customers very soon!!! I am thankful that this little jewel popped up since Indian food is a fading flavor. Please - let's keep this little treasure! I'm glad Athithi is here! read more

The absolute best Indian food in the area, with incredible service, and a very solid menu. I went a few times during my stay in the area, and the experience was very consistent and on par each time. Very affordable and fair servings, plus the decor of the restaurant is really pleasant. An additional bonus: really good playlist of background music, which is at the perfect volume. It's inside a strip mall, so there's endless amounts of parking. Definitely worth the visit if you happen to be in the area. read more
