Nalli biryani and bhatti murg were excellent Chaat was underwhelming as it was too sweet Chole bhature was good Shahitukda was utterly sweet Service was excelled and we loved the decor read more

They closed the restaurant and wasted 20 minutes of my time. Worst of all, IT SAID IT WAS OPEN ON YELP. read more

Dilli 6 - Told u - Indian Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Amazing place for chaat, Chole was okish. Reserve in advance otherwise its hard to get a seat esp given the current crazy demand for this place. They don't have kids size (a minus) , had to get full size curries. read more

We came here for dinner just last week. Was told 40 mins wait time, we put our names on the wait list and left thinking we won't get a table. Within 2 mins we got a call a table was available. I was stoked as I had heard nothing but positive reviews from friends. When we got to our table, I was put off from the get go, the seats were super uncomfortable, with the back leaning so back that I had to sit upright like we used to in school. The overwhelming smell of fabuloso did not do any favours either. The food was meh at the best. It lacked authenticity and did not justice to what Indian punjabi cuisine has to offer. Overall severely disappointed, don't think we will be returning anytime soon. read more

This place has been hyped as one of the big new Indian restaurants of the year, so we decided to give it a try on Saturday at lunchtime. We did get a table despite the crowd, but that was where the good news ended. The décor felt tacky and careless: printed truck posters with a visible "FREE" watermark peeking through, which instantly signaled a lack of attention to detail. The furniture was a medley of mismatched chairs and benches, almost like it was collected from different places and patched together with a few new pieces. The green sofas had frayed fabric, looked worn out, and were so light they kept shifting underneath us. Instead of the warm, vibrant feel you expect from a North Indian restaurant, the ambience leaned cafeteria. Service was the biggest shock. After we were seated, no one came to our table for around twenty minutes. There were three staff working: one person juggling greeter duties and running between tables, one person cleaning, and one person taking orders. The order-taker walked past us multiple times without even acknowledging us, and when he finally stopped, his opener was, "Would you like to order?" We hadn't been given menus, and only a minute earlier we had figured out on our own that the QR code on the back led to a digital menu card. No one explained it. The vibe was very "Order karo." Typical canteen staff vibes. What made it worse was the fixation on payment over hospitality. Even though there was no one waiting for a table and final call for the kitchen had already passed, the staff still rushed us. My wife was mid-bite into her Shahi Tukda when the order-taker showed up with a portable card machine, bus-conductor style, and asked us to settle the bill. After the payment, he walked away without eye contact or a simple "thank you." HE DID NOT EVEN GIVE US A RECEIPT! The owner lady did stop by while we were dining. We saw her reviewing a new staff member's performance and walking to a table to ask for feedback, which is good in theory, but she seemed oblivious to the kind of critical feedback people are sharing online, and her staff is not doing her justice. Spot checks (CBSE "flying squad" style) won't fix systemic service issues; attention to detail, consistent training and hospitality will. Water glasses smelled. We got them replaced but they still smelled. They should clean their dishwasher. The food ranged from ho-hum to terrible, which was the most disappointing part for North Indian food lovers. The mutton rann was overwhelmingly spicy, packed with chilies and their seeds to the point that heat was the only thing we could taste. Worse, the meat was hard and poorly cooked. My spouse is a goat mutton connoisseur and usually demolishes any mutton dish; here, she left most of it untouched, which has never happened elsewhere. The Dilli-6 chicken was actually nice and tasted like fast-food karahi chicken from Delhi. It was the only dish we'd consider ordering again, and even then, it wasn't extraordinary. The Shahi Tukda was horrible. The malai tasted sour, and we ended up scraping it off. The sweet liquid pooled under the tukda was totally unnecessary and made the entire dessert soggy. If they care, they should rework this dessert from the ground up. Portions were okay, but they did not justify the cost. Either the portion sizes should be roughly 1.3 times larger, or the prices should be adjusted down by about $5 per dish. On top of that, there was a weird 4% surcharge for paying by card, which reinforced the feeling that the restaurant is run more for money than for the dining experience. There were two obligatory "Is everything fine?" check-ins. We said "okay" mostly because we were tired by then and wanted to leave, and we did not have the energy to risk more delays if the staff took feedback to heart. For what it's worth, when we asked for a to-go box and a piece of foil, we received them quickly and had no issues there, unlike some others have reported. My hunch is that the hype comes from Indian folks who are tired of the watered-down, sweet curries with no heat that are common in the Seattle area. But adding lots of chilies to bland gravies is not the same thing as offering authentic North Indian flavor. If you are on the Eastside and want genuine North Indian food like balanced gravies, tender mutton, and desserts like Shahi Tukda done right, you'll likely find better meals in Vancouver, BC or even Portland. Right now, this place feels like convenience with extra chilies rather than quality North Indian cuisine. read more

Great food with authentic taste and the service was amazing and the ambiance was super. I tried here ram laddoo daulat ki chaat and ameitsari choley and it was amazing for me read more

Menu was super expensive, like unaffordable kind, but the taste met the expectations from Indian food. My friend and I visited this place just on a whim as I was really craving for Indian food. The place had just opened about 4 months ago at this time. The place requires reservations otherwise they make you wait for a few minutes. The atmosphere of the place is a mix of cheerful and solemn. Warm yellow light falling on the colorful Indian food completes the experience. The place was clean and did not smell of oil vapors which was good for a change. Definitely try Peda Lassi and Spicy degdi chicken curry. You may skip the Chaat as it was not up to the expectations. For a change, please try Chur Chur Naan. I feel this bread is so underappreciated. All that said, the price point was NOT worth the experience in my opinion because it offered a standard dining experience. read more

The food was quite good, although I don't think it was really worth the price, but the service was amazing and our server was really nice. The Atmosphere and Ambiance was really nice, with nice comfortable chairs and seating. read more

Made a reservation for a family night out during soft opening. Great ambience ,great food and great service. We ordered dahi ke shole, murg kebabs, chole-kulche, butter chicken-naan, santra tharra and masala soda. Our fav were the butter chicken & chole kulcha. Both naan and kulcha were out of the world so fresh, crispy and flaky. Chole really reminded of Delhi and Butter chicken almost similar to what you get at Pandara road in Delhi. The owners have really brought taste of Delhi to our backyard. The best part is their friendly server, fast service and warm and welcoming owner. Great Job Dilli 6 and keep it up !! read more

Very authentic chole bhature. Taste and quantity both are excellent. Very good decor. Will definitely come again soon

Terrible service! The food was ok but terribly over priced! We were also celebrating a birthday and the server was incredibly rude and disrespectful to us and the birthday person! They charged us extra for bringing in a cake even though they didn't cut, serve, bring plates/candles/spoons, we didn't even cut or eat the cake at the restaurant and they still charged us. When we tried to negotiate and pointed out we brought our own cake and they provided no service, they were extremely disrespectful. It completely ruined the night and atmosphere. Any semblance of fine dining is completely contradicted with terrible service. read more

We got charged for 2 cake cutting services where we didnt cut the cake and they were not understanding and did not cooperate with us at all

Went for Dinner, Great food presentation, Cheap of Management to charge extra for Onions and Chutney. No Indian food is complete without Onions and Chutney. Have visited more 1000 Indian Restaurants, no one charges for Onions and Chutney. read more

Chhole bhatture and dill-6 chicken was crazy good. Will keep coming back for this. Service was amazing too.

Best Authentic Punjabi Food in the Seattle Area!! Hands down ! A fancier, sit down restaurant with plenty of space. I visited Dilli 6 in Kirkland and was blown away by how authentic the food tasted--instantly reminded me of home. We ordered quite a spread: Dilli 6 Paneer, Saag Paneer, Butter Naan, Mango Lassi, Momos, Choley Bhature, Amritsari Kulcha, Malai Soy Chaap, Peda Lassi, and Shahi Tukda. - Dilli 6 Paneer had the perfect balance of onion-tomato gravy- rich, flavorful, and exactly how it should be. - Saag Paneer tasted just like the best I've had in Punjab- fresh, creamy, and comforting. - The Butter Naan was soft, fluffy, and clearly made fresh in the tandoor. - Choley Bhature was phenomenal- no need to drive to Vancouver, BC anymore for that authentic taste! - Amritsari Kulcha was crispy on the outside and stuffed generously, another standout dish. -Malai Soy Chaap was excellent. Really chewy and soft and the gravy had the smoky tandoori flavor. - Shahi Tukda and Peda Lassi were heavenly sweet, rich, and nostalgic, reminding me of India. The staff were very sweet and attentive. They went out of their way to accommodate us when we realized we had ordered too much food, they quickly joined two tables for us without any fuss, despite the rush hour. Even the Mango Lassi and Momos were on point. Overall, this is hands down the best authentic Punjabi food I've had in the Seattle area. Dilli 6 is going to be my go-to spot whenever I crave homestyle North Indian food. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered Raam ke ladoo , Amritsari cholle kulcha, and nimbu masala shkinaaji.No complaint on the taste, lil spicy but expected for these dishes. Everything looked delicious. Real disappointment was when my wife found plastic bag in her bite of Cholle . The staff quickly wrapped away the Cholle and Kulcha mentioning will bring another one. It was very sad and disappointing for us to find plastic in food. Having such a poor hygiene for such an upscale, twice as expensive restaurant was a turnoff. We did not feel like eating anymore there. Cancelled order for Cholle Kulche, finished Raam ke ladoo and shikanji, hoping there were no more surprises, paid bill without tip and came out. Overall, I do not know if this was one of the incidents but was a poor experience for us as we had heard so much and had high expectations, or atleast not an expectation to find plastic in food. read more

Food is just okay that's why 2 stars but definitely not worth the money you are going to spend here. Not sure living to the hype. read more

Wait time is crazy for walk-in Food was good But service is bad few drinks arrived after having food!!! read more

This is by far the best Indian food our family has had a pleasure to experience. We tasted the Malai Soya Chaap, Dahi Ke Sholey, Kachori Chaat, Shaami Kebabs, Chicken Changezi, and Falooda. All these reminded us from our days in India. Their service was also courteous and pleasant. We will be back to get a taste of other items that they offer. Highly recommended to everyone who appreciate the actual taste of India. read more

had a wonderful experience dining here! The food was exceptional--every dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and presented beautifully. You can tell the ingredients were fresh and the kitchen put real care into crafting each plate. From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious and satisfying. Equally impressive was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal, offered thoughtful recommendations, and checked in just the right amount without being intrusive. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience. Great ambiance, outstanding food, and top-notch service. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to others. read more

This is likely the most authentic desi food I have had in a while, we tried dilli 6 chicken, shami kebab (dum pukht vibes), bhuna mutton and chat options. I rate this place highly and will be returning!! Beats going to Vancouver for good desi food read more

Service and restaurant ambience was excellent. Aloo paratha and kachori chaat were not good but rest of the food which included golgappe, channa batura, momo soup and naan were excellent. They need to do some more work on bringing authentic Dilli 6 taste but great start. read more

We chose to eat only veg options during our visit and everything was awesome. Service was great, attentive but not pushy. Will go back to try other menu items. read more

Food comes pretty fast but it was just so hard to get their attention to add anything to the order. They didn't let us know kitchen was closing until after we finally got their attention to order some dessert and it was too late by then. Food was average. read more

Dilli-6 was a surprisingly delightful experience. The malai seekh kabab - the flavor and consistency were spot on. The Chole Bhature took me straight back to Delhi with its authenticity--what a treat! The tawa goat absolutely knocked it out of the park: tender, rich, and bursting with flavor. To end the meal, both the faluda and shahi tukda were satisfying and well-made. I'll definitely keep going back, as long as Dilli-6 continues to keep it authentic! read more

Amazing experience at Dilli6! Everything we've tried so far has been authentic and flavorful, making it one of the best Indian restaurants on the Eastside. The Chole Bhature, Rajma Chawal, and chaats are especially delicious and absolutely worth trying. I'll definitely be coming back! Service was also great! read more

Some good drinks( thanks to bartender, had some fun drinks like Santra tharra, dhabangg,old fashioned), good appetizers ( recommend sheek kebab and pheli paneer). Good entrees ( chole battura, butter chicken and tawa mutton). Wonderful deserts. Only complaint is that it's just too busy and unless you have reserved ahead. read more

Outrageously priced, food is average. The worst part they charge 4% if you pay by credit card. Never experienced that, who charges 4% for paying by credit card. Total price skimming, they are same owners as Banaras. Never going back. read more

Finally a truly good Delhi style restaurant. The taste was so authentically Dilli style and not like sweet cream loaded food other so called fine dining restaurants sell u at steep price. The ambience was super cool and lively. Staff were warm and service was quick... love love love it!! read more

Very rushed service and was very loud. Good presentation of food but everything is super salty.

Food is good, the ambiance is good. Service is unimpressive. Restaurants are pricey these days and Dilli-6 is not cheap either. I wish they could make it a great experience and not just a place to fill bellies. The waiting staff don't show any warmth or enthusiasm. I asked for some extra lime with my channa batura and I got a reluctant roll of the eye before finally giving us. All of us at the table independently found it odd and here hesitant to ask for anything after that. They charge an extra 4% fee if you use your credit card and they don't tell you in advance till it's time to pay. You can't make a take-out order.. the compromise is that they bring a box to pack yourself. Overall the service is very transactional and doesn't behoove their concept or price. read more

Dilli-6 special chicken - hands down is the best chicken you can find in Washington area. You should literally skip a food-trip to Surrey BC and instead try out this place. 10/10 for ambience, service and taste read more
