Denville needed a good Indian restaurant and when I mentioned that to my wife, she sent me here. She has been doing take out and taking it to a friend who was unable to travel. We do take out now at least once a month and the food simply rocks. Not too spicy. The ingredients always taste fresh. The variety, e.g., veggie is impressive. The now have a lunch buffet and later when I did lunch takeout I checked the offerings. Again, impressive and offered at a surprising (read bargain) price. Like Indian fare? You'll love this eatery. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is delicious, owner and staff friendly, and ambiance lovely.

Food is great but I still can't stand the fact that there is a four percent credit card fee and then an eighteen percent service charge after the taxes etc. Ending up paying 22 percent extra on dishes that have been raised from about sixteen dollars to twenty three dollars. I get it. Groceries and produce are costing a little extra. Unfortunately, my paycheck is not going up. It is a great place and the owner is very nice. I just wish they would get rid of the Service charge because that should be my choice between 15 percent and 25 percent. read more

Really solid food, served by a staff that cares. If you're not up for taking the trip east to Lake Hiawatha, Caffe Delhi should hit the right flavors and leave you looking forward to the leftovers. I started with the fish curry. When I ordered on the phone, they offered me a selection of salmon or tilapia (which isn't mentioned on the online portals) and let me clarify that I wanted mild-medium spice (the online portals have just 3 levels), both of which were nice value-adds. More recently I sampled the chicken makhani, which was made with dark meat and tasted a smidge more of butter than previous places I've tried. The garlic naan, while a bit limp after the journey home, oozed of roasted garlic flavor and brought a pleasant counterpoint to the makhani and curry flavors. I find Caffe Delhi a bit better than Indian Aroma in Rockaway and will certainly keep it in rotation. read more

Wow. It was real bad. Tandori chicken tasted like it was dyed in red and boiled. Zero flavor. Made me think if I had worse tasting tandori chicken before and the answe was "No". Side rice came with it was also extremely lame. Now that is skill, screwing up plain rice. There are bunch of Indian restaurants in morris county and I have tried number of them. This place by far the worst. read more

We went to this place for lunch during the week. We ordered garlic naan, chicken chili (which was a gravy-like curry), saag paneer, vegetable pakora, and onion bhaji. The chicken chili and saag paneer were served with rice. The vegetable pakora and onion bhaji were served with tamarind sauce. They were all tasty. The restaurant was clean and quiet during the time we dined there. The dishes were brought out in a timely manner. We've also ordered takeout from them in the past, which include bhel puri and samosa chaat. They were both pretty good. I look forward to dining in / or getting takeout from here again so I can try new dishes. read more

Just had the lunch buffet today May 5 2023. It was good and the food was tasty enough (although very mild in spice but I understand why that is for several reasons such as cost and to appeal to the greatest amount of people possible) I did find it to be a little bit pricey though. I realize the world is a more expensive place since Covid but. $24 and change for a lunch is a bit too pricey for my blood. Even with that said, I think it's worth checking out for people in town who like to have Indian food. read more

This is the best Indian restaurant in the area and I go here regularly. It is open on Mondays when most restaurants are closed in Denville and they have a lunch buffet all week and on the weekend. The owner is the sweetest guy and he really goes above and beyond for his customers. Prices are reasonable, the food is always fresh, and portions are a decent size. read more

Came here after new owners took over. Prices seem to be higher and portions decreased. I had the chicken korma. Curry was flavorful - my mom had the butter chicken and said not much flavor in that one. The naan breads were very tasty. The service was decent and place was empty when we dined. Would consider about returning. read more

Great food. One of the best Indian restaurants in Morris County. We enjoyed vegetable and shrimp makhanis. The onion kulcha was also excellent. read more

Don't recommend this. Really miss the prior owner and chef. We ordered chicken Tikka masala and got a severely dyed red food coloring curry that was inedible. Missed some spices and cream. Garlic naan serving size also very little. Lastly, the price per portion size is high. I get inflation, but neighboring towns have better offers and quality. read more

We know Mickey, the owner, from a chef competition he won. Elated to find him in Denville! We only had an appetizer and two entrees plus the obligatory papadam. I love Indian and have visited the best restaurants in many cities. I'd put this humble place as #1. read more

This is THE best Indian food I've had within a 45 minute radius. The butter chicken and naan are incredible, like nowhere else. And the owner Micky is also fantastic, he is accommodating, and will do anything to ensure that you have a great meal. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you want Indian food this is the place to go. Buffet Friday,sat, and Sunday around 22$ read more

Outstanding Indian Buffet I have ever come across in my area. The variety and taste goes without saying. It's my go to for Indian Food fix : ) read more

When it comes to Indian cuisine I would be considered a "Rookie". This is only my second time at an Indian restaurant, my first experience was good. So my expectations were high for this place. There are some good reviews and our friends that we met with here (we were 8) spoke highly of the food. The restaurant is located at a strip mall and parking is readily available. Our party were the only ones there for dine in, but there were a lot of going's on with take out orders. I'm not going to go into each individual meal that was ordered this night, but can say that everything we had from appetizers to the meals were absolutely delicious. The basmati rice cooked and seasoned to perfection and the naan bread ohhh soo good. Best of all when I checked in I got an $8 coupon good for lunch. So it's safe to say that coupon will be put to good use in the not too distant future. read more

Was given an incomplete order for almost $100 for two people. No rice or chutneys as usual and half portions. After bringing order home and calling I was told it was because they didn't have it ready yet? Was told they cannot help and to contact door dash to complain. Hard pass on this rip off place.. read more

Last night I treated myself to the saag paneer and garlic Naan and have to say this place makes the best saag paneer that I have ever eaten. What I can not understand is how can this owner chef make a saag panner that is really so much better than the saag paneer I eat at all the other Indian Restaurants. I just know he does! The garlic Naan was perfect! My girl friend loves his Butter Chicken and says to only get it from Cafe Dehli from now on! All I can say is "if you love Indian Food and have never been to this place , get over there and find out for yourself, how special this place is. The owner chef can not be nicer and he will ask you just how spicy you want your meal to be." Get ready for a new #1 Indian Restuarant and we are lucky he made Denville his home! read more

The food used to be very good, not sure what has happened. Plus I just ordered and it's $24 for chicken tika, wow, I know inflation has made things more expensive but that's ridiculous. read more

Love love love this place. Micky and the staff are amazing. Extremely friendly and accommodating. We come here all the time and love it. Just Awesome!!! read more

We have been coming here for a few years. Recently new owners took over and redecorated the restaurant. Tonight (a Friday) we finally got an opportunity to try it. The food was excellent. We started with Onion Bhajia, which were tastefully seasoned and fresh. We ordered Chicken Negosi (a creamy coconut sauce) and saag paneer. We also ordered Garlic Naan. (Hot from the oven and very garlicky) The spice levels came in as we asked and were great. We have leftovers and are thrilled. The services was terrific. The new owner also checked on us to see how everything was. For a Friday night they seemed to do some take out but only had a few tables busy. I don't know why, the food was terrific. We will come back soon. read more

I am so happy I went here! The service was amazing and the food was so good! We had the lamb tikka masala and vegetable/meat samosa and they were phenomenal! Will definitely be back! read more

Good and service and the food was fantastic also good energy and vibes. The owner or manager give to the customers great warm and welcoming to the restaurant we will be back. read more

With a busy weekend, who has time to cook. Tonight I headed to Caffe Delhi for some takeout. While the dinning room is open, I opted for takeout to savor the food in the comforts of my own home. To start, I've never tried Garam Shorbe (soup) from an Indian Restaurant so I tried something new. I went with the Spinach and Chicken soup which is a creation made with garden fresh chopped spinach, marinated chopped chicken and a touch of mild seasoning. I must say it was tasty and I regret not trying it sooner. Also ordered the Kabuli Naan which is traditional Punjabi soft white bread stuffed with chick peas and onions, then cooked in the Tandoor. For the main course, ordered the Chicken Tikka Dry which is pieces of white meat chicken flavored with spices & broiled in the Tandoor. Any meal you order is cooked fresh and can be dialed down if you like food mild, cooked middle of the road, or they can pack in some heat if you like it spicy. I prefer spicy and it always hits the spot. Take out was a good 50 minute wait, but well worth it. There was a steady stream of customers which assure me the food was fresh. Meal size was large with plenty of leftovers for another meal during the week. Just want to remind everyone of yet another fine dinning establishment should you ever want to change an ordinary meal into something extraordinary. read more

Caffe Delhi proved itself utterly disappointing during my recent outing. The premises were absolutely UNSANITARY... food turned out to be nothing more than bland mush swimming amidst stale spices... all accompanied by hefty price tag no less! An absolute insult to both palette & pocketbook alike. #DisgustinglyDirtyDelhiDebacle Better to go to Social Hub by Fine Indian Dining, atleast the portion sizes there won't ROB you read more

The saag paneer is incredible as is the chana saag, makai kofta; vegetable korma, and everything was perfect!! The service is incredible and the owner Micky told us that the entire restaraunt is farm to table and cooked to order!!! We love it!!!! read more

A true hidden gem! The food was divine, truly the best naan and butter chicken I've ever had. The service was also spectacular. If you are looking to treat yourself to great food and satisfy your cravings, this is the place to go. read more

I started with the veggie samosas and they were delicious, the mango chutney was really good and the lamb rogen josh was excellent. I did take out, the restaurant itself is a little run down with zero atmosphere but the food is definitely worth the drive for pick up. The portions were perfect, I had leftovers, usually they skimp on the lamb but not this place. Enjoy the food, I'll be back. read more

The food, atmosphere, and staff are terrific. It reminds me of my days in India. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Lee G, Rockaway, Caffe Delhi , a local Denville, NJ restaurant, offers a wonderful selection of Indian cuisine. This restaurant stands out above others because Micky C., the owner, makes everyone feel like a very welcome family member. This makes, in addition to the dining, a wonderful night out. Also important is that the tasty selections and ambiance is at a very reasonable price. read more

I am so excited to have this Indian restaurant back in Denville. We went for the buffet and there was plenty of variety including the basics- vindaloo, chicken masala and sag paneer some of my favorites. The food was amazing tasting. The owner was very personable and the restaurant clean. But at almost $60 for 2 for lunch it won't be a spot frequented. read more

About our visit on Sunday 30th July at 4.45 pm... (+) 9/10 Cleanest restroom and serving station seen in years (+) 8/10 Speed of our order (+) 8/10 Design sense and elegance of the layout (+) 2/10 Paneer pakoda with a sour chutney (-) 0/10 Aloo papdi chaat: No "sontth" or semi-sweet jaggery chutney in it. It was sour, and very sour at that. A poorly finished dish with a heavy sour-hand of the cook. (-) 0/10 Aggressive and not-at-all-customer-friendly attitude of the owner. Hostile too. Abrasive in replies and forcing his point of view alone. Irritable and angry tone all the time. What is going on man?!! When we requested a sweet chutney to reduce the extra-sourness of the papdi chaat, he came and talked me down saying that they do not have any sweet tastes per their recipe for chaat. A surprise! Every chaat has three key ingredients: Sour. Spice, Sweet. And other Asian powdered masalas to give the chaat a low-spicy-low-sweet taste. It seemed like he only interested in taking our money for the bill, but was not interested in giving....what we wanted as a paying-customer: The correct taste for a chaat. (-) 0/10 We waited for our bill. We paid. We collected our take-out bag. In all those several minutes, the owner did not come back to meet us and explain his point of view for the reasons of his aggressive attitude. Yes, he was back there in the kitchen and was most likely busy with other orders. But a walk back to our table, the clearly upset customers, would've shown his "need" to get us back a 100 times so we could support his restaurant with more business in years forward. This $27 bill x 100 could surely mean something in these tough times for the food business. And bring my company's team of 20-25 people to try his food. But that future-view of what a customer really brings to the future of his tables, was clearly missing in him. A pity, really. (+) 10/10 However, that said as above, when I called back the owner after 45 minutes upon reaching home, I fully credit him for apologising for not meeting us on our way of the restaurant to explain his point of view. He asked us to return one day and try other dishes. My response to that, as of 24 hours later on this Monday evening: I have spoken of yesterdays' poor experience with my AI software team at work. Two of them will visit the restaurant this week and check out some other dishes. IF, and ONLY IF, they speak of a good experience with the food AND AND AND the owner, will we return the week after.

Caffe Delhi under new ownership is better than ever! Decor is an upgrade, service great, sophisticated, tasty and healthy food. Just came from the buffet again. Continues to deliver -- we've now eaten there many times and will continue enjoying it. read more

Ownership changed mid-January... this used to be our favorite restaurant, but after getting take out today we noticed the portions for some items were cut in half, we got the wrong samosas (gave us meat instead of veg), there was a pretty big bone in one of the chicken pieces, and the makhani tastes totally different. I will say though that this is the first week under new ownership so maybe they have some kinks to work out. I rated 3 stars instead of 2 considering how recent the changeover was. I really hope they go back to the way things were previously... owner said they're renovating in Feb so maybe we'll try it again after that. read more

I love this place. The food is amazing and the staff/ new owner is very friendly and so helpful. I always love going back. Thank you for the authenticity and freshness of the food. read more

I have loved Caffe Delhi since they opened and I hadn't been there in a while but I had a hankering for some Indian food. Ordered the paneer tikka masala and the chicken korma. Absolutely delicious! I forgot to order a side of raita and called back and they included it with the order. The naan and aloo paratha was delicious as well!! I was told they're opening their buffet in April, and I can't wait for that! I will be going back again soon!! Don't miss out and support your local restaurants!! read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant of all the Indian restaurants I've been to! When I lived in the area I would come here at least once a week! Now I've moved away to California and I miss this food! There are Indian restaurants out here but there was something delicious about this one. If I'm ever in the area again, I will come back! The tall gentleman who works here is very nice! Stop by and have the best Indian food in Jersey!! read more

Have enjoyed food from this restaurant in the past, both dine in and takeout. Came for dinner (party of 4) tonight and was disappointed. It's a Wednesday night and we were the only table there when we arrived. Service was very slow, we ordered our food "medium" and it was very mild. My son ordered chicken nuggets off the kids menu, and it was 8 frozen nuggets (they charge $17 for nuggets and fries) straight from the bag. There was a "convenience fee" for nearly $5, and then a 20% gratuity added on (even on the convenience fee - so that fee ends up being closer to $7.50). The prices were listed nowhere on the menu; and when I looked online to check I saw that they charged us more than the online pricing. I hate to nit pick, and will gladly pay good money for great food and service. They also charge an extra fee (nearly $5) if you use a credit card. I paid with cash and asked them to remove this other fee. This nickel and dime-ing leaves a bad taste in my mouth - this used to be a solid local neighborhood option. For $150+ for 2 adults and 2 kids, go somewhere more upscale. read more

Our first time to visit Caffe Delhi and the food was good. I was surprised after leaving a generous tip to be charged an added gratuity. The check for two fairly modest dinners was high. I am a fan of Indian cuisine and there are other restaurants that are also good. I will not be back read more

Authentic great food! Curry Goat portion was superb! I'm a 6"4 male and the Goat Curry entree served me two meals. The vegetarian appetizer for 2 is so nice and perfect if you want a taste of everything for $9.99. Goat curry prepared "hot" is no joke spicy and will get you if you're expecting it, so I might get medium next time. Lassi's were great not as thick as some. No promotions for example a lot in the area take $5 or $10 when you spend $50 read more
