Dear Delhi - Restaurant, Bar & Lounge

Here’s a quick review you can use: --- Had a great experience at this Indian restaurant! The service was excellent, and the food was incredibly flavorful. I loved that the menu included some unique options and flavors I haven’t seen at other Indian spots. The place was clean, and the addition of a bar was a pleasant surprise—definitely not something you find at most Indian restaurants. Highly recommend if you're looking for something delicious and a little different! We had the Dear Delhi Chat (app), Methi Chicken, Delhi Ka Kebab Paneer.

The food was absolutely amazing! Many of my Indian friends recommended this place, and I can see why. I’ve tried Kolhapuri Veg at several nearby restaurants, but the taste here was truly exceptional—perfectly balanced and flavorful. The service was outstanding as well. Manoj, in particular, took great care of us and made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

This place is a hidden gem of Indian Restaurants in Jersey. Went for a lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the uniqueness of the menu. Both from the drinks to the food, the menu is quite unique. The manager/owner was a great guy and he suggested few cocktails and we started with Pathaka, Lychee Martini and Lal Pari. All came out pretty tasty and unique. Went with the Dear Delhi non vegetarian platter and Kasundi Mushrooms, the meat/fishes/Kababs were so juicy and tender; cooked to perfection. Kudos to the chef. The chef did an amazing job with the Kababs, making sure they are still juicy from inside and not too undercooked either. Went on ordering Chicken Biriyani, Kosha Mutton, Anjeer Kofta, Chilly Garlic and Junglee Naan. It was so sumptuous and filling that we had to make half of the food to go. But can tell you without any hesitation that this can be one of the best Indian Restaurants in NJ if they keep up the quality and don’t compromise on the fantabulous and friendly service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…

Had a good home food experience. Moti mahal chicken and double daal tadka! Surely recommended. keep trying other dishes too fellas

We decided to dine here because they have a bar but we’ll keep coming back for the food. There are many desi places in surrounding neighborhoods but no one offers the friendly customer service these guys do. This place was absolutely amazing. The have a nice drink menu and variety of selections. Prices were reasonable as the drinks were great. Jugaad was our favorite. Kenny, the manager was very friendly and gave us great suggestions. I am glad we listened to their recommendation and ordered the Soya chaap. Malai soya chaap is a must try at this place along with Karahi chicken and Anjeer malai kofta. The chicken in both karahi chicken and mix kabaab appetizer was very juicy, easy to pull apart, and not dry overcooked chewy mess. We loved the food so much we ordered party trays for a gathering. They were able to accommodate our order with just one day notice. Once again they worked with us and gave us great recommendations. Everyone loved the food and kept inquiring where we ordered from. Definitely perfect place to get party trays for any event.

If you’re looking for a delicious meal that tastes sooooo authentic, then this is the place to go. The staff, food, and atmosphere is amazing! Customer service was also A+! We will be back! I wish the owners continued success this year and beyond!

Excellent restaurant hidden in Dayton - the food is good and there is no wait time. My wife eat here almost monthly and really enjoy it. Kenny always stops by to say hello and provide suggestions. We really enjoy the outside seating during the summer.
