Environment was good. Service was good. Food was good. People over here were nice and very friendly

Contacted the restaurant after reading previous reviewers discovery that it's not open for dine-in. They confirmed they have permanently switched to catering and no longer have dine-in service. read more

The restaurant is next to an Indian market. Very likely owned by a same owner. The parking lot has an abundant of spaces. The restaurant was clean and the lightning is warm but not brilliant. The decor was simple. The ambient noise was low, and you can carry a conversation with your party or partner. The server was very friendly and attentive. The wait time on the food was reasonable. We were warned that the tandoori chicken may take up to 20 minutes which we were ok with it. The rest of the food were served hot and fresh. The spicy garlic nan was absolutely scrumptious. The portion of the masala and rice was good too. The tandoori chicken was slightly on the tastier side, salty. Nonetheless. It was very enjoyable. Overall. It was a great experience. Likely to visit again. 4.8 out of 5. read more

The place is pretty small but comfy. It can fit maybe 30 people max. The customer service is excellent! They checked in with us to make sure we were good and that the food tasted good. We went during lunch. They offered a buffet style that included lots of classic vegetarian dishes, chicken, goat, samosas, chutney, and desserts. The food tasted phenomenal. The food stays hot and fresh on the hot plates They also let you choose what type of carb - butter naan, garlic naan, rice. The garlic naan was well seasoned and crispy! It's rare to find a place that will give you crispy naan, but this was perfect. You can also choose your drink during the lunch buffet - mango lassi, soda, masala chai. I got the mango lassi of course but I would like to try the masala chai next time. Don't forget to take some dessert in their cute portable leaf bowls! read more

For $15 you can get a pretty filling lunch (it's $1 extra for garlic naan). I had to take half of it home, but all the dudes we went with polished off their entire meal. Our table got a mix of chicken vindaloo and tikka masala. While it was very good, the vindaloo was not as spicy as we all thought it would be. The tikka masala was super flavorful, and the accompanying dal was just as delicious. We even enjoyed the chutneys and pappadam that was the starter to our experience. Each lunch plate comes with a dal, basmati rice, pickled onions, and a samosa. The only item that could be considered a clunker is the samosa that came with the meal...it was a bit dry inside, but can be covered up with the chutneys. This has been one of the best Indian places I've been to in quite some time. read more

I went here a couple of times and it was really good. Then recently I went a couple of times and once they were closed and the other time you can't dine in. I also found out they no longer have the lunch buffet. I'm giving 2 stars since it used to be good but you can't even eat there anymore. read more

Our first time here and of course I didn't take pictures cause I was so busy in the moment loving every single bite. Beautiful setup and great customer service. Food was amazing and so was the service, they are generous with the portions of food they serve. We will definitely be back read more

Horrible experience Owner I don't know what to say. Unbelievable Only us and Asian women in restaurant. Owner cooked all the food brought food personally to Asian women Walked out of restaurant Many many minutes later We get food un eatable Then waiter leaves Clearly owner allowed waiter to cook our food Very clear to us Never ever returning We have never done anything to owner. We loved food and menu when they opened Covid happened and food never same read more

WOW. This place is a GEM! When I first stepped in, I knew this was going to be good. It felt like being welcomed into someone's home for good homemade meals. The staff were very friendly and I appreciated them informing me the portions are for 2-3 people. It prevented us from completely over-ordering! I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala! There was a GOOD spice kick to it, it was simply delicious. That okra dish was one of the best things we ate here. I haven't had okra like this and it has changed my view on it! The naan of course was tasty. If you're between the vindaloo and Tikka, I'd recommend the Tikka! The cilantro chutney for the samosas was very good as well! I'd def come back again and again. Would highly recommend you check out this restaurant! read more

The service here was excellent! We visited for my husband's birthday and found a couple of favorites. We ordered the okra, biryani, and spicy chicken curry. The restaurant is small and cozy, with charming paintings that add to the ambiance. Ratings: Biryani - 2/5 (missed the mark, lacking flavor) Okra - 5/5 (delicious!) Spicy Chicken Curry - 2/5 (lacked flavor and had no kick, even though we ordered it medium spicy) We also tried the cake, and it was pretty good! read more

Still the same little store with quaint decor and just a signature feeling that you're in a great Indian restaurant with the Indian music and the fragrant smell of spices. Service was excellent as always. They were very attentive (we were the only table at 5 pm), and was quick to bring out the food. We were also offered to try some of their new mocktails being introduced to their menu. I came here years ago prior to covid and their food was amazing. Coming back now, it's still amazing. Ordered tandoori chicken, palak paneer, garlic naan and the Dilliwala chili naan. Everything was well seasoned and tasted great. Can't wait to go back to have more of their menu. read more

Small restaurant with a reasonably good choice of indian food. Liked the service. The ambiance was okay. My friends were vegetarian and hence we stopped here since they had a good choice of vegetarian dishes. read more

Went their for the buffet, the food was all cold None of the dishes had lids There were no table linens bare tables. No placemats The food did not taste any good, they should visit peacock restaurant or also Indian curry restaurant to see the service and how buffets are served Will not be going here again read more

I was absolutely delighted with our take-out meal from Dilliwala. In the future, we will eat in, as the space is lovely as well, with tasteful and calming atmosphere. We are big fans of all types of Indian food in my family. We have one Vegatarian and its great to have so many options. Dishes we tried: Garlic Naan 5/5 Yogurt/Cucumber Raita 5/5 Butter Chicken 4.5/5 Tikki Masala Chicken 4.5/5 Palak Paneer 5/5 Tandoori Chicken 5/5 Mixed Vegetable Biryani 5/5 Green sauce 5/5 Tamarind sauce 5/5 Portions were extremely generous, fresh, and hot! We were even given an insulated carrier to transport our food home. All dishes were above-average. Butter Chicken and Tikki Masala were similar- I could not really discern a difference in the sauce. While delicious, I feel that more pronounced spice profiles would have brought both a solid 5/5. I will definitely be ordering in the future. The easy online ordering is so efficient. You order, pay, and receive confirmation via your email. So convenient. Food was ready when they said it would be. Thank you for a great experience! read more

If I could give this place 6/5 stars, I would! Ambiance: Everything is super clean inside. The staff are super friendly and you will not be disappointed if you come here. Even the to go boxes are high class! Taste test: This is the best place to have Indian food. The flavors are fresh and savory and very delicious. The chutneys are even good which makes your entire meal even better. Not enough words to say about this place. read more

Tiki chicken masala is the hit of the menu. We tried about 8 different dishes and that was the winner. When I visited they didn't have a liquor license so the waitstaff said we could bring our own. I'd pass on the lamb and basmati rice entree. Interior is very basic. read more

Came here 10 minutes after opening with two others. Nice environment to eat and good food. We ordered a fish appetizer, chicken tikka masala, a spinach chicken curry, 3 orders of garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Got to say everything was pretty solid. The tandoori flavor penetrated through the chicken down to the bone. It is a bit expensive $15 for 4 pieces. The curries were flavorful, tender, and good with rice. The garlic naan could have been a bit more garlicky and the mango lassi was refreshing. read more

So we saw the buffet sign in the window and got excited since the dinner experiences were pretty good but it was a major disappointment. Old stale food and no taste or flavor. Real let down... the owner has responded below but this was not in May it was in prior month and this is next to New India sweets and like I wrote dinner experiences were awesome but the Buffett was very bad. read more

Great traditional Indian cuisine! Lamb vindaloo and aloo ghobi were some of the best we ever had. Fair price to portion value. Have been here several times now, so they deserve this review. read more

Came here with family on a Saturday for lunch. Surprisingly they had a buffet and even more surprisingly it was genuinely delicious! The selection was basically "greatest hits" (samosas, tandoori chicken, black dal, saag paneer, paneer tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, goat curry, baigan bharta). All was delicious! Fresh naans kept coming! Buffet was a great price and included a drink (mango lassi FTW!). Service was a little slow due to a very large group, but very gracious. A very cute intimate restaurant with absolutely delicious food! Highly recommend!! read more

The ambiance is relaxed, their service was attentive and helpful, not pushy, and the food was amazing! Excited to go back!

Was craving some good Indian food so I decided to order carry out from here. The food was ready when I arrived and packaged well. They give you a side of pickled onions and green sauce (I think it's cilantro based.) The Chicken Tikka Masala was not bad. Didn't satisfy my craving but it was decent. The chicken was really tender but the sauce could have had more flavor. On the other hand, the lamb chops I got were too salty. The only lamb I eat is lamb chops (and I normally love them) because I find that it doesn't have a very strong lamb smell and taste, but these tasted very "lamby" ( if you know, you know.) The spicy Naan was great, though. I'd recommend that. read more

Food, drinks everything was great. This place uses fresh ingredients and just enough ghee, no oil slick here. Will definitely be returning. The guests with me could not stop talking about it. The waiter was quiet and polite, never out of water or drinks. ​ read more

Prior to the pandemic, I think that Dilliwala had a dine-in situation, but with how things work these days, their kitchen has mobilized to a take out approach instead. With that said, my family's take-out experience during the pandemic was splendid. Our dinner was packaged in a reusable bag and we were gifted mango lassi with our order; 10 out of 10 for customer experience. We ordered the following: -chili garlic naan ($3.00) -basmati rice ($3.00) -palak paneer ($14.95) -chicken tikka masala ($15.95) -chicken biryani ($14.95) The palak paneer (spinach and cheese) was so creamy. The chicken tikka masala is hands down one of my favorite versions - it was creamy and the cubes of chicken were plentiful and moist. They use high quality ingredients and you can really tell in each and every one of their dishes. read more

Great food. If you're in the rush, call-in and place your order. They also catering service.

Took a work related guest to this place as he mentioned he would like Indian food. Wait staff were prompt and friendly and the buffet had enough items that we were full when done and choices were great for both 1 vegetarian and 1 meat eater. The mango lassi was smooth and thick and the fresh naan was perfectly done! Part soft and Part Crispy at the same time- warm and toasty. Will Go again! read more

Service was great they are Very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is clean and set-up nicely. Food was hot fresh and tasty. Now, why not five stars...Their portions for their protein is very skimpy. Only had 3 tiny pieces in one of our plates and 4 tiny pieces in the other one. In my humble opinion it wasn't worth the price. read more

Great food, friendly and prompt service, and clean. You can order an entree or go through their buffet and try a little of everything. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely come back! read more

At first I was wary about the price, but my entire family and I think that for the taste and the portion size it was worth it! They told us it would be two portions per order and we didn't listen LOL so make sure to factor that into your order as well. The butter chicken was deliciously smooth with whole pieces of chicken that came easily off the bone. Chicken tikka masala was perfectly spiced with well-sized chicken chunks. Both dishes were a huge hit alongside plain and garlic naan. We also ordered a vegetable biryani dish and it was a good size for all seven of us. We got food to go, but the service was impeccable nonetheless. It was disappointingly empty for a Saturday afternoon, clearly this spot is underrated. The inside is cozy and clean with lovely music playing at a good volume, and there's plenty of parking in the plaza. The employees were super kind about our hesitations with the menu, and we also got to try some lassi for the first time (mango, it was delicious!). All in all I loved it and I would be happy to dine in-house the next time I have the craving! read more

After stepping in and asking for a to go menu , I was sent the menu and a link to order by the person whom I will assume was the owner. I wasn't going to get anything but the smells got me craving chicken tikka so I had to order it. Will be bringing the wife back to dine in. read more

Pretty amazing take out. You order from their website (no phone orders). Use PICKUP discount code for 10% off. They were pretty busy and backed up. When I got there I still had to wait. Their butter chicken - SPICY was stellar. It was tender thigh meat. The sauce was extraordinary. Their chicken biriyani had the the most soft perfectly cooked chunks of white meat chicken. The rice was well seasoned. It comes with a small portion of raita (yogurt sauce). The $5 mint chutney sauce was great. The basmati rice for $3 was a very small portion. The naan was ok, not great, b/c it wasn't crispy due to long drive home. Steamed and soft from the bag. If you order above a certain amt they give you a nice carryout bag! read more

Their Kulfi used to be really good and was a good-sized. Now it's not as good and a total rip-off. Like $5 each for this size is absolutely ridiculous. Go next door to the indian grocery store and get the same thing that's double the size and half the price. read more
