Stopped by on a Friday night with my wife after hearing about this place from friends. We weren't planning to order much, but one thing led to another and we ended up sharing the butter chicken and the black dal. What I appreciated was how balanced everything tasted. The butter chicken had that familiar Delhi-style flavor without being overly sweet, and the dal had clearly been simmering for a long time. We were still talking about it on the drive home. Service was friendly, portions were generous, and the dining room had a relaxed vibe. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more

I've tried a lot of Indian restaurants in the area and this was my first visit here. The lamb chops caught my eye immediately, and our server suggested pairing them with the goat biryani. read more

An upscale and authentic Northern Indian restaurant with absolutely beautiful décor. The dishes we ordered were truly delicious and perfectly captured the rich, traditional flavors of Northern Indian cuisine. Our server was polite, attentive, and very informative, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the front desk staff could have been a bit more welcoming--perhaps a warmer smile would enhance the first impression. The lighting was slightly too bright for what feels like an upscale lounge setting, but overall, we had a great experience and look forward to coming back again soon. read more

I really wanted to love this place--and honestly, the ambiance almost had me. The decor is beautiful, with thoughtful little touches that make it feel special right when you walk in. We ordered the butter chicken and the Goat Rarah, and unfortunately, both fell a bit flat for us. They were just okay, we've definitely had better. The butter chicken leaned more tomato-forward than expected, which wasn't my favorite. The tandoori naan was excellent, though, and my husband did enjoy the Reshmi Seekh Kebab. Our waiter was kind and attentive, which we appreciated. Overall, this visit felt like a miss food-wise, but I'd genuinely love to hear what dishes others recommend because I really want to give this place another shot! read more

Ambience was nice; the restaurant is pretty. The menu is on a tablet, then your order is taken. Service was good. Prices are on the higher side and portions are smaller. We ordered the papdi chaat, which had great chutneys but a small portion. For the main, chicken saag and paneer butter masala were ordered. The paneer butter masala isn't how it was described: "Paneer cubes simmered in a smooth tomato and butter gravy, finished with dried fenugreek." The gravy was chunky and not buttery like the sauce that's described. The paneer was a little hard. Although I did not eat the saag chicken, it was enjoyed. The restaurant became busy around 7:30 PM on a Saturday evening, and we had a 7:00 PM reservation. read more

"Terrible Food, Terrible People, Terrible Experience" Big Prices, Zero Quality - Total Rip-Off Please read reviews before visiting!! This place is a complete joke. We waited forever for our appetizer, and then even longer for the main course. Finally our appetizer arrived on table. In appetizers, we ordered a paneer item and in non-veg, chicken kabobs. The paneer was very soggy, pale, and tasteless, and the kabobs were extremely overwhelming with other ingredients and were not able to taste the original flavors. I am from Delhi, and this kabobs were not even my last choice of food if I were dying. After done with appetizers we were looking for our server and..... we waited.. then she showed up and we asked for our main course. After wasting so much of our time when we asked about our food, they simply said, "The restaurant is closed." Seriously? Then why take orders in the first place? And took long to serve us while other tables were getting their food on time. We asked for manager and what!! He came and said same thing.. Food, service, hygiene, atmosphere--everything is terrible. Our water glass was not getting full in timely manner.The staff has no sense of service and the manager was rude and careless. They don't respect customers at all. The bathrooms were dirty, the tables were messy, and the whole place felt unhygienic. It is not kid-friendly at all. The prices are sky-high for zero quality. Even the word "worth" doesn't apply here. It is a total waste of time and money. God bless to them who is going to visit in future over here. read more

Okay I am split on this one. The appetizers are incredible, especially the palak chaat and tandoori chicken. The curries were just okay and sort of overpriced. Interior was beautiful and so elegant. read more

We booked this place for brunch to celebrate my parent's anniversary. We really wanted to like this place, because the decor itself was very beautiful. We were the first ones to come in for lunch and right away someone asked my dad to re-park the car. There was literally no one in the parking lot. Once we sat to order, our waitress was very kind and offered suggestions. We were told the Sunday brunch was no longer available and were suggested items from the menu. The food itself was good, it came out nice and warm but overly spicy. Unfortunately overpriced for Indian food that we've had better at other places. read more

Food was NOTHING much different from other places BUT was higher priced substantially.Saturday night meeting friends ( 2 veggie and 2 non veg ) . Did NOT start well with No Ultra beer , NO papad availability AND NO coffee or tea post meal either . Ordered 2 grilled items ( lamb chops and chicken tikka masala and vindaloo ) ... found meats way too fatty . Regarding other 2 veggie items both of them had yogurt in them like MOST dishes do . We wanted to take left over items home with us ( portions were generous) ... we were told that since there was yogurt in veggie items they could NOT allow because " there is a health risk if the food gets left out and may cause us problems , so chef is NOT comfortable allowing us to take home " Never have heard that before . So in conclusion .... Went in evening so everything is from menu , NO papad availability, No Ultra beer, NO tea , No coffee post meal either, No way to take certain items home for leftovers. Have made reservations for coming weekend again so can waste another $225 tab . read more

After a long time, I have found a north indian restaurant. Delhi lounge has got ambience, professionalism and good tasty food. They have dress code to follow for custoners. Luckily i was dressed in business casuals. Waiters r well dressed and explains dishes well. They give you ipad to see menu. I ordered orange thyme mocktail, it was tasty but i could taste more of pineapple. In appetizer I ordered achari jalepeno paneer tikka and hara shami till kabab. Both were yummy. Entree was fenugreek cashew curry, which would be mild as name suggests, along with laccha paratha and truffle chur chur naan. Vegetable comes with side of rice as well. Overall good experience. I would recommend to try it out. read more

I really wanted this place to work out for a special birthday celebration but it was a total let down. Made a reservation thru OpenTable, which was easy and convenient. The reservation did mention that it was to celebrate a birthday but there was no acknowledgement of that when we were seated. The ambience of the restaurant is pleasant and slightly upscale but the tables are extremely cramped. The booths are tightly packed with not enough leg room between the seats and the table. Service was spotty from the get-go with multiple forgotten orders and requests, delay in beverage and food service. It was a busy evening but it seemed like staffing was not the issue. Now for the food and drinks - enjoyed the Rupee IPA, which was a refreshing change from Taj Mahal. The Paani Puri Martini was nothing to rave about. Our white wine order was completely missed and the staff had to be reminded. We ended up cancelling the second order of wine because of the constant misses. The Paani Puri and Palak Patta chaat was served without a delay and tasted fine. The pineapple flavored paani is definitely not something authentic and was a bad attempt to try something new with Paani Puri. The order of the tandoori paneer was missed again and we had to wait an additional 15 mins for that to be served. This is when we decided to call it quits and move our celebrations to a different restaurant. Pricing : Expensive!!! Especially considering the poor service and mediocre food. Will I return? : A definite NO! Not after they ruined an evening of celebration. read more

A rare, exquisite, and exclusive Michelin Star worthy Culinary Experience by Celebrity Chef MANJIT GILL at the DELHI LOUNGE - did you have the opportunity to check it out? There are chefs, and then there are culinary legends -- those rare visionaries whose touch turns kitchens into cultural institutions. Chef MANJIT SINGH GILL is unequivocally in the latter camp. A name whispered in respect among hotel chefs and shouted in celebration by food lovers, Gill's journey from a young hospitality student in Delhi to the architect of some of India's most iconic dining experiences is nothing short of epic. With over four decades of dedication under his belt, he has not only shaped high-end Indian gastronomy but also championed its soul -- heritage, sustainability, and identity -- on the global stage. When one speaks of BUKHARA, you're talking about more than a restaurant -- you're talking about a culinary beacon that put Indian fine dining on the world map. Nestled in the legendary corridors of ITC Maurya, New Delhi, Bukhara's ethos is rustic elegance: grilled meats kissed by fire, lentils slow-cooked to creamy perfection, and flavors that whisper tales of the Silk Road. It was Gill's stewardship as Corporate Chef that helped uphold and elevate its reputation through rigorous standards, creativity, and consistency. Under his guidance, Bukhara became synonymous with frontier tandoori cuisine -- a destination for diplomats, global dignitaries, and gastronomes alike, including our very own CLINTONS and the OBAMAS. DUM PUKHT in many ways, is the culinary counterpart to Bukhara's fire-kissed masculinity -- a dish philosophy steeped in patience, poetry, and an almost spiritual reverence for technique. The phrase "dum pukht" itself evokes slow-cooking traditions of Awadh, where meat and rice are sealed and cooked in their own steam until each grain and morsel is imbued with complex nuance. As Corporate Chef, Gill did more than curate this menu; he revived and dignified an age-old gastronomic tradition, ensuring that every biryani, every slow-braised delicacy, spoke in the language of balance -- of spice, aroma, voice. The result? Dum Pukht at ITC became -- and remains -- a global ambassador for classical Indian cuisine. But for the fact that MICHELIN does not operate offices in INDIA, both BUKHARA and DUM PUKHT at the ITC MAURYA would be worthy of 2 MICHELIN STARS, IMHO! What sets Gill apart isn't just his mastery of technique, but his cultural stewardship. He doesn't cook in isolation -- he educates, promotes, and elevates. As President of the Indian Federation of Culinary Associations, he has worked tirelessly to unite chefs across India and introduce Indian gastronomic philosophies to the world platform. From curating menus for global heads of state to bringing Bukhara's experience to international pop-ups in London and Singapore, Gill's work transcends borders while remaining deeply rooted in Indian terroir and tradition. We were extremely fortunate to experience an exquisite tasting menu by CHEF MANJIT SINGH GILL at the DELHI LOUNGE to celebrate its first anniversary. This is unequivocally the finest culinary experience at the DELHI LOUNGE and came very close to a MICHELIN STAR experience, similar to what we have experienced at JUNOON and TAMARIND TRIBECA in NYC...kudos to CHEF GILL (who is the Executive Chef and consultant) to the DELHI LOUNGE for this offering which will stay with us - annotated photos below. For the global foodie curious about Indian cuisine's epic narratives, CHEF MANJIT SINGH GILL remains both storyteller and guardian. His legacy -- from BUKHARA's blazing tandoors to DUM PUKHT's whisper-quiet cauldrons -- is a testament to what happens when technique meets philosophy, and when hospitality becomes art. In celebrating these institutions and at the DELHI LOUNGE, we celebrate Chef Gill's vision: that Indian gastronomy deserves its place on the world's most exalted culinary stages, not as an exotic footnote, but as a masterclass in heritage, depth, and soul. Check it out: THE DELHI LOUNGE 1850 Market Pl Blvd, Irving, TX 75063. Tel # (469) 785-3403 read more

An elegant, upscale, new concept, real NORTH Indian Cuisine!!! From the grand wooden door entrance you are immediately taken into the lands of the Maharajas! Welcomed with warm hospitality you are greeted and seated into traditional Indian style club chairs, comfy and grand! You are then given an electronic menu with a variety of items, some traditional and some with surprisingly good twists. This is a new concept restaurant, hoping the modern desis accept it and understand that food/drinks are best enjoyed with great company over memorable conversations. It's a mix of all you can eat but "tapas" style- small plates/bites freshly made to order! I really enjoyed this concept as it allowed us to try a little bit of everything and not feel guilty over any wastage. You can expect to be here for a while, as you are encouraged to enjoy your conversations not necessarily diverge your face into food, there is class here, with proper silverware and amazing dishes that can satisfy any and all your tastebuds! The overall decor, ambience, staff, and even the menu definitely set the stage for a great, relaxing, enjoyable, meal! Special shout out to Pavi, our server who was spot on with her recommendations, timing, conversation, and overall amazing experience! And I enjoyed speaking to Manish- one of the owners who so kindly shared his passion and vision for this restaurant! - You can visually see the details in the art, decor, and presentation there is more than just food on your plate! For those wanting to try something new and great, you For Sure Want to Try this Restaurant!!!! However, if you are someone who wants a low grade - large quantity of food for cheap- this is NOT your place! We will definitely be back and totally bring our friends! ***** read more

3.5 stars but ill round up to 4. Service: started iffy as they had the wrong date down for a group reservation we had made.

Great selection of both food and drinks. read more

Located in Little India in Irving, this new restaurant is amazing in its North Indian /moghlai dishes. We tried their Dal Makhni superb, their chicken Tikka and Butter Chicken (my wife does not like these but she was Amazed at how good these were) , a goat handi dish ( meat falling off bones), jeera rice, and a paneer vegetable dish ( all paneer dishes excellent here). Mango dessert excellent. We will come back again. Plenty of Parking. Only one issue the host ignored us when we entered. No idea why we were both well dressed. Waiters were great. read more

Finally got a chance to dine here last week and had an amazing experience! DFW has countless Indian restaurants, but not many with a great ambiance like The Delhi Lounge and I highly recommend this place to everyone! We thoroughly enjoyed the food here, especially the entrees and their handmade paneer (super soft), along with everything else! The service here was lovely from start to end- all the staff were very kind and attentive and a special shoutout to Jenny who was so sweet and prompt and looked after our table really well. We also got a chance to chat with both the owners who were such great hosts and provided some great recommendations to us. Palak Patta Chaat: 8/10 Pani Puri: 8/10 (comes with a unique pineapple pani for the adventurous eaters) Achari Jalapeno Paneer Tikka: 8/10 Chilli Cheese Kulcha: 6/10 (too much cheese, might by more liked by kids) Paneer Khurchan: 10/10 Saag Paneer: 10/10 (slightly different from the regular saag paneer in the best way possible) Eggplant Bharta: 10/10 (I rarely find a good baingan bharta at a restaurant but this was yumm) 24-hour slow cooked Dal Makhani: 8/10 (too much butter/ghee for my taste but otherwise delicious) read more

What a beautiful and tastefully decorated restaurant. Sometimes you can just want into a place and know you're about have a great meal. Everyone from the host to the wait staff demonstrated exceptional and friendly service. And don't pass on the house cocktails. They might be a bit on the sweet side and maybe kinda pricey but I found it to be quite a unique drinking experience. The goat seekh kebab was tender and packed in so many flavors. The truffle malai broccoli was very unique in of itself and had some good heat to it that I wasn't expecting. Even though the truffle chur chur naan was very delicious, the garlic naan we ordered separately was far more tasty. It was crispy on some bites with roasted garlic bits on it. The waiter recommended the melthi malai chicken curry which was a nice break from the traditional butter chicken and chicken tikka most White people are used to. It was creamy and had a big flavor bomb on it and the chicken in it was succulent and tender. The chicken dum biryani was such a cool experience. They serve it in a clay pot sealed with the baked dough rim around it. I know that's pretty traditional but we've never seen it before. The biryani itself was delicious. If you're not into meat on the bone, though traditional, this may not be for you. Can't wait to come back and try something new. read more

Upscale Indian restaurant. Not an expert at all on Indian cuisine. Understaffed on a weeknight, so servers took longer... It was busier than expected and a few corporate business dinners. I didn't like the iPad menus. Funny that they had to give a tutorial on how to work it. I let the experts do all the ordering. They ask for the spice level. Tried some new appetizers that I never had before. Got assorted curries: the usual butter chicken, lentils etc. Everything was pretty good. Tasted heavy though, but I think curry generally is. I liked it, but it's not a cheap meal. read more

I enjoyed every dish I tried and the spices were balanced and bold. The staff was friendly and efficient. I will be returning for more. The space is very large inside and has a bar area and private rooms. read more

Had an incredible experience at Delhi Lounge in Irving during a special 7-course dinner led by renowned Chef Manjit Gill from India. The food was outstanding--thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and easily some of the best Indian cuisine we've had in a long time. The staff did an amazing job serving a large crowd course by course--truly all hands on deck--and everything ran smoothly. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening (and definitely ate too much!). Special thanks to the owners for elevating the Indian dining experience in DFW and for hosting such a memorable culinary event. Highly recommend Delhi Lounge for an exceptional dining experience. Cheers read more

Amazing food good service and the ambiance was amazing. I would 100 percent come back

Amazing food - very flavorful panner and chicken ! Along with great service , will come back again!

Service is very slow but definitely worth the wait because the food was delicious. Server was horrible! She looked very annoyed every time we asked a question. We ordered the drinks and appetizers and had to flag down another waiter who was wonderful by the way. He was more knowledgeable and recommended some food from the menu. Again, food was delicious. Tasted fresh! Expensive though. Pretty decor. Manager walked by and asked how the food was. Which was nice. read more

I would recommend this place for their appetizers. We got the palak chat which was very good, the aalo tiki was good too as was the broccoli. The ajwain fish was soft and the seekh kebab were decent. The cocktails were okayish. For mains, we got the rogan Josh, butter chicken and dal makhni...while all of them tasted good, I've had better. Skip the deserts. The service was okay but the ambience was nice. read more

I would give zero stars based on our experience in the bar today. We went a little after 5.30 pm and requested to sit at the bar, so the hostess directed us to the bar. The bar tender curtly told us that the bar is not open yet. We asked when do they open and his response was quite arrogant 'when I get done with things'! After this I had no desire to dine there but the restaurant manager asked us to take a seat. The bar tender still completely ignored us and made it pretty clear that he had no intention to serve us, so we left. Upscale food and decor is worthless if the service sucks! I won't return again! The hostess should have been aware of the bar timings too ... read more

We went on Mother's Day dinner. This was the first time they tried to serve buffet, normally they serve ala-carte only. Our reservation for 4 people was for 6 pm. When we reached there, host told us that they are running 10-15 minutes behind. Anyways we were offered to seat. We sat and noticed they were still arranging buffet and half of the items were not even there. After waiting for another 10 minutes, we were finally asked for drinks. We asked for water and soft drinks. Lemonade was made using concentrated lemon juice and was bit sour. Anyways at 6:40 is when they opened the buffet when they could have let people eat chaat items. The food was mediocre. The price was $50 for adults, $25 for kids and 18% gratuity. I was expecting zero gratuity and potentially complimentary drinks or something for letting people wait 40 minutes. Servers hardly came to refill drinks or anything. Upon the time of leaving, there were still two items which never came to the buffet area. This is supposed to be fine dine north India. I seriously hope they train their staff well on the menu and fix the short comings or we are never coming back.They had some wall pictures from India and restrooms were clean although the hand soap was super diluted. read more
