The service here is lightning fastour food was on the table in no time! As for the food, it was a bit of a roller coaster. We grabbed the Rajma Chawal and Chole Bhature for mains, they were decent enough to hit the spot. The snacks were where it got a little tricky. The Ram Ladoo and Kachori Chat tasted good, but they were barely lukewarm. Kind of a bummer since you really want those hot! On the flip side, the Lamb appetizer was incredible super soft and juicy. Definitely the star of the show. We finished with desserts and they totally saved the day. The Kulfi Falooda was 10/10, and the Shashi tukda was the perfect sweet finish. read more

We'd been wanting to try Dilli6 for a while and finally went on a Saturday evening. Even without a reservation, the wait was about 40 minutes - not bad considering how busy it was. The ambience was pleasant and lively, which set a nice tone for the meal. We started with the Kachori Chaat, which unfortunately was just average - not bad, but nothing memorable either. Next came the Butti Ka Murg, and this completely changed the experience. The chicken was juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Easily the standout dish of the night - absolutely delicious. The Amritsari Kulcha was also excellent, with great stuffing and good taste. However, the chole served alongside it was just okay and didn't quite match the quality of the bread. Drinks were decent but nothing special. Overall, the food had some real highs and some middling items. We felt the pricing was on the higher side for the value and consistency offered. Would probably come back for specific dishes (especially the Butti Ka Murg), but not necessarily for a full meal. read more

The ambience of this location was really fun. I reserved a table using Resy and was promptly seated. The tikki chaat was amazing but the momos were mid. The paneer Dilli 6 main course was amazing and a must have (not pictured). The service was quick but one feedback I would have is to bring main course only after guests are done with appetizers. read more

Have heard so much about this spot! Finally got to go and really liked the food. Some of the dishes were incredible with the true authentic Delhi flavor but few didn't hit the mark. but do wanna try out more of the dishes!! Lychee martini was refreshing however the masala shikanji is a must try! Would definitely get it again over any other cocktail. Chili veg momos was average, didn't really like the sauce and momos were too dry and over fried. Aloo tikki chaat and paneer dilli 6 were absolutely fantastic, must try. Can't wait to try more and find out the best dishes. Little busy spot so will recommend reserving beforehand read more

Very tasty indian food, but a bit pricey for the amount. Everything I got was very flavorful - we got the Chicken and Dal Dilli-6 and the Hafiz Ji Ke Shami Kebab. The Chicken Dilli-6 was a red pepper + cheese curry, which tasted good and quite different. However, it was way too spicy for me - and there was no customization available. This dish was medium only. We were able to make the Dal mild, which was good. It was also quite tasty, and they added the ghee with the spices table-side so it was very fresh and aromatic. We got both a naan and roti, and definitely still needed rice because it was so spicy. I was a bit disappointed that the curries didn't come with white rice. Overall, the amount that I could eat (through the spice) was good, but quite expensive (especially the bread and rice). read more

First time, visited with family for dinner. Had to make a reservation in advance. Service was very quick, but some of the smaller details like napkins and cutlery, clearing the table could have been better giving fine dining. We ordered a lot of items on the menu , and pretty much everything was delicious. The Chole could have used some more salt and spice, but the kulcha was on point. The dahi ke appetizer was new and an interesting texture, would def order again. The chaap was delicious too. All in all good experience , would go back. read more

We went to Dilli 6 and had a really good experience overall! We tried the Kachori Chaat, Chhole Kulche, Chhole Bhature, Momos, Malai Soya Chaap, and Falooda. The Chhole Bhature and the Falooda were the absolute highlights--the bhature were perfectly soft and fluffy, the chhole had great flavor, and the falooda was refreshing and delicious. The Kachori Chaat was tasty but a bit on the spicier side, and the Chhole Kulche also had good Delhi-style flavors. The Malai Soya Chaap was creamy and flavorful, and definitely worth trying. The Momos were decent, though not the best we've had. The presentation was nice. Prices felt slightly on the higher side considering the small portion size, but the overall taste made it worth it. read more

I had heard a lot about this place and was advised to arrive around 5:30 PM to avoid crowds and long wait times. We followed the suggestion and got there at 5:30 PM. Ordered the Amritsari Chole Kulcha and the Dabba-Style Chicken. Being from North India, the chole didn't resemble Amritsari chole at all, which was quite disappointing. I'm not sure why this dish is so popular perhaps many guests aren't familiar with authentic North Indian flavors. The Dabba-Style Chicken was decent, but the amount of garlic was overwhelming. Overall, I don't feel the pricing matches the quality or the portions. Paying around $70 for two dishes, including tip, felt excessive. read more

I was recommended to check this place by multiple Indian coworkers and it did not disappoint. The servers were very friendly and did accommodate us with walk-in since we did not have a prior reservation. The ambiance is very chill and it was very clean. It was authentic Indian food, specifically Delhi food. I had never been to Delhi or tried their local food but it was really fun to try their local and unique dishes like the Ram Laddoo and the Choor Choor Nan. The Chicken Dilli 6 we got was also the right amount of spice and very flavorful. It went really well with their garlic naan. The Shahi Tukda was an amazing finish to this meal and I'd definitely recommend it. It's a must visit if you're looking for a new authentic Indian restaurant. read more

Dilli6 has a nice vibe and decor, but our experience was ruined by poor service. Our group of four had to wait 20-30 minutes after dinner because their payment system showed a "glitch." The person who claimed to be the general manager -- wouldn't let us leave until one of my friends repaid her share (we had split the bill four ways). Three days later, she found out she'd been charged twice. The manager told us we could call him if there were any issues, When called the person did not respond immediately or apologetically!! The whole experience was stressful and unnecessary, especially with a crowd waiting outside on a Friday evening. In short: Great ambiance, but absolutely terrible customer service. read more

Food - 4 stars Ambience - 3 stars Service - 2 stars Price - $$$ This is our first time here after the previous restaurant at the same location was taken over by Dilli-6 . We ordered amritsari chole kulche, dilli-6 chicken, tawa mutton, aloo paratha and adulation ki chaat. The littlest one loved the dilli-6 chicken with a slightly sweet yet flavorful chicken. The oldest liked his aloo paratha. The hubby loved the fiery delicious tawa mutton. The only thing which was underwhelming was chole kulcha. The portions were small. Considering the price + taste, food definitely felt overpriced. Like the famous gourmet Vinod Dua said - It's good, but I won't be composing sonnets for this. They have freshly redecorated the whole place to give a jazzy Dilli vibe. Definitely deserves the 3 stars. If the layout had been changed I would have rated it 4 stars for Ambience. Coming to the worst factor in my rating - service. They were courteous. However we had to flag multiple times to get water. Same for refills. The food arrived promptly after the order, but I expect the service to be premium for the price they are charging. Also I do agree with one of the previous reviews where they mentioned posturing about how busy they are despite the tables being empty or reservations being held. My suggestions would be to start a yelp wait list for transparency. Else honor present customers first. Would I be back ? Just when I want a change of food. But this will most likely not be my regular places. P.S. - There is a 4% credit card fee. They prefer cash. read more

My friends and I walked in, got seated right away and within minutes the place started filling up.. clearly word is getting around. It's fairly a new restaurant and seems like off to a great start! We started with the makhhan Murgh Malai Seekh and it was easily the highlight of my meal.. so well cooked, tender and very flavorful. Then we had Chicken Afghani Momo. It's not your traditional momo but it was rich, creamy and absolutely delicious. The only dish that fell short was the Chicken Mughlai Korma.. it needed a bit more salt and the flavors weren't as yummy as I expected. To balance it, Shikanji was so refreshing! So overall good service, good ambiance and a menu with some unique options. I see myself going back! read more

Dilli-6 took over the restaurant space vacated by The Turmeric Kitchen. The restaurant basically migrated from Bengali food to Delhi food, hence the 'Dilli' name; they call themselves "unapologetically Desi". We were indeed the only non-Desi customers. The general layout of the restaurant is the same with different wall décor and different bar area. The inside is fairly loud and just as dimly lit with little rechargeable table lamps for mood/ambience lightning. We (2) walked in without reservations at 8:30pm on a Saturday night. The hostess (possibly owner) did the song and dance of "let me check the reservations to see what table is available" while I eye more than half the restaurant space is empty. I hate that kind of posturing. Anyway, surprise, they can sit us right away. Insert eyeroll emoji. When taking our order, our server noted hubby's less-spicy (2 stars) request, while I can handle spicy (4 to 5 stars). Because of my comment about spiciness, the server recommended two non-veg dishes. I opted to add one instead of replacing what I already chose. When the food arrived, neither of the two spicy dishes were in fact spicy. I should have said something sooner. I thought I might get an after-kick. Nope, not spicy. When I brought it up to the server's attention, he just said I must have some super spicy tolerance and walked away. No, I am pretty sure the kitchen toned down all dishes instead of only one dish. Sigh. Their prices are quite a bit higher for less food. They are still tweaking the menu. The receipt's prices are tens of cents higher than menu prices. See both photos. It feels like fraud. The Food: Mutton Keema Chop, $17 menu vs $17.68 receipt - 4 Stars Menu: Goat keema chop fried in desi ghee I didn't realize the meat is literally chopped, as in nearly ground meat. (I had chop as in an American pork chop in mind which is one whole piece.) I don't typically like the texture of grounded meats, but the seasonings and the chutney made this chopped dish tasty and worthwhile. There is a slight kick to the sauce. This dish was a pleasant surprise and would order again. Dilli Butter Chicken, $23 menu vs $23.92 receipt - 4 Stars Menu: Butter chicken from the kitchens wehre it was invented This was hubby's "mild" requested dish. This dish is served with them pouring the sauce in front of you, so you can see the bottom of the bowl doesn't have a lot of meat. Nonetheless, the dish is well prepared and tasty. The price is definitely higher than other places. Mughlai Chicken Korma, $23 menu vs $23.92 receipt - 2.5 Stars Menu: Old Delhi famous chicken korma This is supposed to be spicy. It most definitely is not. It is also quite oily. Without the spiciness, the dish tastes incomplete. I tasted the oil more than I tasted the seasonings. I took the majority home to be modified, including draining oil and adding spices. This $23.92 dish has only one chicken hindquarter. That is a lot of money for one skinny hindquarter. Bhogal Ke Choley Bhaturey, $22 menu vs $22.88 receipt - 2 Stars Menus: Famous choley bhaturey of Bhogal market Junpura Delhi This is the additional dish I ordered per the server's recommendation. Again, it was not spicy. I was very underwhelmed by this dish. Oil is once again pooling at the top (you can see in the photo). Chickpeas are presumably slow-cooked in the style of the Bhogal night market seasoning. Without the spiciness, I don't know what am I tasting other than the oil. The breads are fried, and they arrived big and puffy. I tasted some of this dish but took most home to be modified. Choor Choor Naan, $8 menu vs $8.32 receipt - 4 Stars Flaky and crispy hand crushed naan. It really is quite good! It is crispier than the typically plain naan. Steamed rice, $5 menu vs $5.20 receipt - 2.5 Stars Unlike most Indian restaurants in the area, none of their dishes comes with rice. This is plain white basmati rice. The rating denotes the fact that I even have to pay for rice considering the cost of each dish. One order is enough for the two of us. read more

Visited on a Sunday evening with an online reservation since the place gets crowded. Vegetarian options are limited but good; non-vegetarians have plenty to choose from. There's also a bar. The food was delicious. The Aam Panna Mojito was amazing -- we kept reordering it. Nalli Biryani was generous in portion and flavorful. Kadhi Pakoda was good, and the Amritsari Fish Pakoda with fries was tasty. Desserts were solid too -- Shahi Tukda (would've been better warm) and Giani Falooda were both enjoyable. Overall, a good spot for great food, especially for non-vegetarians. read more

I'd heard a lot about Dilli 6 and the place absolutely surprised me. There is quite a wait, so please be prepared for that and plan accordingly. The ambiance is quite nice and quirky and the food is delicious. Some of the most authentic Indian food I've had in the area. Everything I had was finger licking good. The momo soup was warm and comforting, the kulcha, was crispy and paired amazingly well with the chole. Last but not the least, the daulat ki chaat was like a cloud. So light and airy. Highly recommend! read more

Made a reservation for Sunday dinner at 6:30pm but had to go sooner and they accommodated the request. Ambiance: The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that blends traditional Indian decor with modern touches. It's cozy yet vibrant--perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. We had decided to try mainly the appetizers and so we ordered accordingly. Food Highlights: Khajur ki chutney wale golgappe- the server mentioned its not the traditional pani puri. We ordered after reading the description it was full of flavors ,I felt it was a mix of sev and dahi puri. Makkhan Murgh Malai Seekh- it was moist and rich in flavor. Hakka Noodles- had a mix of crispy fried noodles and noodles which were amazing. The portion sizes are smaller but they are flavorful. The menu is extensive, offering everything from classic curries to fusion snacks. Drinks-Aam panna mojito was not up to my expectations I felt it was more of ice and less flavors. Mango lassi was rich. Desserts- I wanted to try Daulat ki Chaat. It was light and felt like eating the foam. The foam had melted and was watery at the bottom. I felt it could be more stiffer and chilled. I liked it as it was very light and I did not feel overloaded. Service: Staff was attentive and friendly . The service is prompt and welcoming. If you're looking to celebrate something or just indulge in a flavorful escape, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

We had a reservation for 6:45 PM and arrived at 6:30 PM. We were seated right away. Since it was their soft opening, we expected that a few menu items might not be available--and that was totally understandable. To start, we ordered the Ram Ladoo and Golgappe. The Ram Ladoo arrived hot and tasted very authentic. Major kudos to the chef for the fantastic chutney on the side--it was flavorful and complemented the dish beautifully. Personally, I would've liked a bit more heat, but that's just my preference. The Golgappe were great too--crisp and refreshing. For the main course, we went with Chole Bhature, Paneer Makhani, and Butter Naan. In the past, I had to cross the border into Canada to satisfy a solid chole bhature craving, but this easily tops my list of places nearby. The flavors were spot on. The paneer in the makhani had a subtle smoky aroma--likely from the tandoor--which added depth. The rich, buttery gravy was smooth and indulgent. The naan was fresh and served straight from the tandoor--soft with just the right amount of char. Even though we were quite full by then, no meal feels complete without dessert. The Shahi Tukda wasn't available, so we opted for the Daulat ki Chaat. It was light, airy, and perfectly whipped malai with delicate notes of almond and saffron. Throughout the evening, dishes were coming out of the kitchen quickly, and the service was great. The staff--and even the owner--were warm, welcoming, and eager to hear feedback. read more

We came here for dinner and had a great time! The restaurant is bright and cheerful with great food, showcasing Delhi's famous eats. We had the following: golgappey with dahi chutney: my favorite! The golgappey were authentic, with sweet, savory and tangy flavors. shami kebab: cooked to perfection and very rich in taste. paneer makhni: quite an experience watching the server pour the gravy over the grilled/tandoori paneer. I was a little confused seeing a plate with only two big pieces of plain paneer but then relieved to see the gravy poured on it! I had this with a tandoori roti. Nalli korma: husband's favorite! I liked the gravy/curry but would get a higher spice level next time. Also paired this with a tandoori roti. Daulat ki chaat: so good! This dessert is a light and the fluffiest whipped cream with saffron, rose and pistachios. We shared this between the two of us, but I will get my own next time! I will be back for more! read more

Went in weekday and to my surprise it was quite full. We had to wait for 10 mins and then were seated . Ambiance is lively and service was quick. We ordered soya chap which was really good , tandoori momos where average as momos were deep fried so it loose the texture of it and it lacks flavour in sauce they had over it. For main course we have panner and churnchur naan. Naan was very good but panner was too much gravy and with all hot spice which I was sure my stomach will be upset after eating it . It had gravy but too much of heat due to hot spices and my stomach on real was bad after a day. So won't suggest to order it For dessert we had shahi tukda. Again it was too moist but still had good taste. read more

Went in for lunch and was so lucky to snag a booth -- they got busy and pretty packed within minutes! I loved the bright, bold, colorful, and playful decor. Everything inside reminded me of being in Delhi. It's like stepping into a little slice of home. We started with the Raam Laddoo. I've always been curious about this one and finally tried it -- what a fantastic appetizer! Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and paired with green chutney that hit all the right notes. Next up: Malai Soya Chaap. Oh my word! Filling, packed with protein, smoky and tender -- absolutely delicious. Then came Karol Bagh ki Aloo Tikki. This one had me crying tears of joy. It tasted like home. Crispy, hot tikkis smothered in all the yumminess. Mind-blowing! For the mains, we ordered the Amritsari Choley Kulche and Chole Bhature -- both were out of this world. The chole was perfectly cooked and flavorful, while the bhaturas were soft, fluffy, and just right. To drink, we had a beer and a Santara Thara -- strong and on the sweeter side, it rounded things out nicely. Service was quick, the food was incredible, and the vibe was full of energy. Overall, it was a great lunch. So happy to see such amazing restaurants opening up in the neighborhood. Highly recommend read more

Dilli 6 - Kachori chaat - Indian Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

From the name and description I was expecting more of a street food vendor type of place and I was quite excited to try some authentic street food. However this is definitely a sit down restaurant (and priced like it). I got the Karol Bag ki Aloo Tikki, and I thought it was fine, probably a little more yogurt-y than my tastes like but not bad at all with decent portions. However I will say that just about every menu item is priced higher than I'd expect, with even the starters and the chaat (more street food-ish items) being 13+. Overall I wasn't blown away (I might come back to try a main) and the price point wouldn't be encouraging to bring me back. read more

This one definitely adds to the ever bustling Indian food scene on the east side. We were happily surprised by the taste of the food. This used to be an Indian restaurant named Turmeric Kitchen which was not good at all. They retained majority of the interior including the seating and some staff for sure! Ease of booking wise I definitely felt like there is a room for improvement since resy did not let me book for 5 people and kept saying table for 5 not available whereas table for 4 was easily available. Food wise it was a great experience. We ordered the following: Kachori Chaat - decent enough, Aloo Tikki chaat - one of the best I have had around here Dahi Sholey - very mild and flavorful, ideal for kids Chole Bhature - very authentic taste Chicken Korma - good enough but was overpriced for the taste Paneer Makhni - gravy was very sweet for our liking but paneer was soft and nicely done Garlic naan and Chur chur naan - decent enough to go with curries. Side note - we really enjoyed their picked carrot and raw mango that came with Chole and we were able to order extra for $2 which was well worth the price. Overall it's a good idea to go with a group so you can try different things on the menu. Food pricing is slightly on the higher end but as long as they keep the food good it will still justify the price. read more

Extremely rude service. I asked for a table for one and was essentially told to leave. Completely unacceptable. I won't be returning.

I really wanted to like this place. I made a reservation for Karwa Chauth and went with my husband and two small kids. The ambiance is lovely, the interiors are beautiful, and our server was very nice and polite. We started with the soya chaap appetizer, which was actually quite good and set high expectations. However, the main course was disappointing. The aloo paratha was deep fried and extremely oily, we couldn't even eat it. The dal makhani was good, but the tandoori momos were overloaded with cheese, which overpowered everything else. What disappointed me more than the food was the billing experience. After coming home, we realized our bill was over $100, which didn't seem right compared to what we had ordered. I called the restaurant to clarify, and the manager said he would call me back but never did. My calls later went to voicemail, and even after leaving a message, I received no response. When I finally reached him, he did process a refund for the extra charge, but he never once apologized for the mistake. Overall, while the ambiance and the soya chaap were great, the food quality and customer service left a lot to be desired. I hope they can improve, because the place does have potential. read more

I've been to Dilli-6 a couple of times so far, and honestly, they haven't missed yet. It's one of those rare Indian spots that manages to balance authenticity with a bit of flair without losing the soul of Delhi-style food. They seat around 80 to 90 people, and if you plan to go, book on Resy because it fills up fast. Now, there are a few quirks worth noting: - They charge a 4% surcharge on credit card payments and encourage cash, which is ridiculous. I'm absolutely against that nonsense. - They don't do takeaway or delivery. Their logic is that to-go orders mess up the consistency since the chefs would have to rush dishes, and I get that. Still, if you really want takeout, you have to dine in, get a table, order food, ask for boxes, and pack it yourself. Wild! AMBIANCE - Classy yet comfortable. Modern Indian touches with warm lighting and vibrant wall art. - Plates and bowls are beautifully presented, with cast-iron skillets and brass cutlery adding a touch of flair. - Feels upscale but not pretentious. FOOD - Chicken Dilli-6: My favorite dish here. The smokiness, the spice level, everything hits just right. This alone makes the trip worth it. - Paneer Dilli-6: Right up there with the chicken version. The smoky flavor is unreal, rich without being heavy, and the paneer is perfectly coated. - Karol Bag Ki Aloo Tikki: The star of the show among the appetizers. Excellent balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. They absolutely nailed this one. - Murg Makhani: Basically butter chicken with a subtle smoky note. Slightly sweeter than most versions I've had, but man, the flavor is crazy good. Alternating bites between this and the Chicken Dilli-6 feels like heaven. - Paneer Peeli Mirch Tikka: Packed with flavor, though the paneer leaned a little chewy. Still, very enjoyable overall. - Bhogal Ke Chholey Bhature: Extremely close to what you get in Delhi and by far the best Delhi-style chholey I've had in the US. - Amritsari Chholey Kulcha: The chholey are the same delicious ones served with the bhature, and the kulcha itself was decent, not extraordinary - Makkhan Murgh Malai Seekh: I was skeptical at first because, as far as I'm concerned, "malai" and "seekh" don't usually go hand in hand, but this one proved me wrong. Tender, flavorful, and surprisingly well-executed. Not something I'd always order, but if it's served, I'll happily finish it. - Malai Soya Chaamp: Pretty good and packed with richness. Might be tough to keep consistently perfect, so I'll try it once more before fully vouching for it. - Choor Choor Naan: For anyone unfamiliar, this naan is half-smashed, flaky, and layered into large bread pieces that are somewhat crunchy. It's uncommon even in India, let alone the US, which adds to its already incredible, crunchy, textural charm and makes it a must-try. - Raam Laddoo: Underwhelming but not disappointing. The chutneys did most of the heavy lifting. - Aloo Paratha Dilli-6: Decent but not something I'd go for again. It's fine, just doesn't stand out next to the heavier hitters. SIDES & DRINKS - Boondi Raita: Technically a side, but almost feels like a dessert. The raita itself is yellow, likely from saffron, and the quantity of boondi (tiny, crispy fried gram flour pearls soaked in yogurt) is generous enough that you'll probably get more crunch than yogurt. - Sweet Dry Fruit Peda Lassi: Delicious and dessert-like. You'll want to eat it with a small spoon instead of drinking it. - Shikanji: Refreshing and balanced, perfect palate cleanser. - Aam Panna Mojito: Sweet, tangy, and minty -- easily one of my favorite drinks here. DESSERTS I'm not a big fan of Indian desserts in general, so take this part with a grain of salt. - Giani Da Falooda: Decent. Pretty presentation and nice flavor, but it didn't blow me away. Fans of traditional falooda will probably love it more than I did. FINAL THOUGHTS Dilli-6 is the real deal when it comes to North Indian food in Kirkland, WA. The food looks great, and tastes even better. While the no-to-go and credit card surcharge are annoying, it's hard to stay mad when the food's this good. If they can keep the consistency, this place will be a home run for anyone craving authentic Delhi flavors done right. read more
