Delhi Accent: Innovative Indian Dining- Best Indian Restaurant

When i went to this restaurant I had really good hopes cuz of the reviews, and people told me it was good. But when i ordered the food the chicken drumsticks were really chewy, but the butter chicken was the only good part for that dish. I’m a big biryani fan but also that wasn’t great, there was a lot of masalas (spices) in it which threw off the taste. The chicken tikka masala was the only good dish I liked because it tasted good and the chicken was tender. Honestly when I had the food I felt that was overpriced for the quality. Like don’t get me wrong $15 for most of the starters and $24+ for the Entrees is a bit too much if the food isn’t good. Some restaurants are a little cheaper but the quality of the food is amazing. I say its worth a visit but don’t get your hopes up too much. Thats just how I feel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were absolutely thrilled with our experience with Bukhara for our wedding reception at The Palace. From the very beginning, their professionalism, warmth, and personal attention set them apart. Akshay (co-owner) personally oversaw our event and went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless — and it truly was. After comparing caterers, it became clear that Bukhara was the superior choice over Moghul in every respect. For the same Gold Package rate of $50 per person, Bukhara offered nearly double the variety without compromising quality. The food was decadent, beautifully presented, and received rave reviews from all of our guests. An apples-to-apples comparison made it undeniable: Bukhara delivers the best value, service, and culinary experience. We had initially considered Moghul, but due to management changes, they were unable to honor our verbal contract of menu items just one week before the wedding — a stressful setback that could have derailed our plans. Instead, it became a blessing in disguise. Bukhara stepped in seamlessly with reliability, integrity, and excellence. Choosing them turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Thanks to Akshay and his team, what could have been a stressful situation transformed into an evening of elegance, joy, and unforgettable memories. We cannot recommend Bukhara highly enough. Their unmatched variety, extraordinary flavors, and impeccable service make them, in our view, the premier catering partner for The Palace. A very special thanks also to The Palace team — Nancy, David, Alexandra, and everyone involved — for helping us create a wedding reception that exceeded all expectations. We are forever grateful!

Great Food near North Jersey area, went there after seeing too many reels of those restaurants. We ordered Mix Grill and Paneer Tikka as Starters, on one side I was really impressed with thier size and Quality of Mix grill which consisted of Malai Chicken Tikka, and other 2 chicken tikka, but main star of the dish was the lamb Kebab it was juicy and cooked to perfection in tandoor, very less places have mastered to cook Lamb like that in tandoor. We also ordered their Big Size Naan and also Laccha Paratha, I liked the lachha paratha over the much hyped Naan. We also ordered their signature Daal Bukhara which tasted like a normal dal makhani nothing extraordinary. I liked their Mutton Rara in main course more. The biggest headache was to find parking.

Beetroot kabab was yumm & excellent. Paneer was dry & too much for two people. They should’ve inform us that its gonna be too much for two people in quantity, once after we told them we are visiting first time & we asked them for recommendations. Otherwise services was good.

The food was good overall, but was very greasy and salty the more I ate. One of the dishes the lamb was very tough and hard to chew, but the other lamb dish was lamb chops which were very tender and delicious. The garlic naan was the largest naan I have ever seen and was very good.

Hype? Maybe. Overrated? Definitely..Prices are high, and the food quality is low. I’m really disappointed with this restaurant. Before sharing my review, I must acknowledge the employees from Nepal. They were outstanding, and my one stars are solely for their kindness and excellent service. The remaining star is for the food. In appetizers, We ordered Chicken Lollipop, Paneer Tikka, and Veg Manchurian. The Chicken Lollipop was so hard that we had to send it back, and even the staff admitted that it was overcooked. As for the Veg Manchurian, I’ve never seen such tiny balls in my life—super small and unimpressive. Paneer Tikka, however, was the only bright spot: the paneer was soft and well-prepared as they have done in past please see my screen recording of pervious visit at the end. For main course, We ordered Chicken Gravy, two Paneer Gravies, Kadai Paneer, and Paneer Dilruba, Dal Makhani and Garlic Naan and Chilli Garlic Naan. The Paneer Dilruba (essentially Paneer Makhani) was the worst I’ve had in all of NJ—watery, sour, and cold. When we asked the staff to check it, they offered to remake it, but the remake was even worse. They added cream and butter on top served it back, as if that would fix it. Seriously? Please stop adding food coloring! The Kadai Paneer was just okay. The vegetables were undercooked, which detracted from the dish. Thankfully, the Chicken Gravy was good, but only because we warned them beforehand that we’d send it back if it wasn’t. Dal Makhani was all time good. Naan can speak by itself. Honestly, I had high expectations for Bukhara Grill (formerly Delhi Accent), especially since I recommended it to friends—one of whom was even considering catering from them for their wedding. After today’s experience, I doubt we’ll ever return. There are smaller, better places in the area that may not be fancy dining atmosphere but are rich in flavor and quality. Follow or message for more :)

I was so happy to try this Indian restaurant for this event! I love Indian food! When I arrived I found paid parking nearby. I walked in and was greeted and sat at a table in a small, cute restaurant. The appetizers they served were all delicious, but my favorite was the cauliflower. The flavor was great! I really liked the buffet style meal with the curry chicken being my favorite! The naan was also so soft and yummy! I really had an amazing time!

We had a South Asian wedding at The Legacy Castle for 300 guests, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. From the start, the team was kind and accommodating—they even gave us two tastings to make sure everything was perfect. Considering my husband’s family traveled from California, the quality and flavor truly exceeded expectations. Our guests are still raving about the food weeks later! Thank you, Akshay, for making our special day unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone planning their big day!

I had the pleasure of dining at Delhi Accent with my family last night and it was truly a remarkable experience. While we've ordered takeout from here many times and knew it was one of the best Indian options in the area, we were blown away by the restaurant's roots and background. We learned that the founder, Akshay Jhanjee, is the son of Raja Jhanjee, one of the owners of Bukhara Grill in NYC, which has been a personal favorite of mine for years. Ridgewood is privileged to have this restaurant in town. We started with the Dilli Ki Papri Chaat, a fresh and high-quality dish that combined wheat crisps and chickpeas with mint and other flavors, making it a spectacular appetizer. Next, we moved on to our family favorites, which included Dal Bukhara (Dal Makhani), a popular dish from the Punjab region, Lamb Saag, Chicken Tikka, and some Naan. It's worth mentioning that the fresh bread was outstanding. The service was exceptional, akin to what you would expect in a Michelin-starred restaurant. With so many options for Indian cuisine in the area, I can confidently say that Delhi Accent is the best. Overall, my family and I had an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for high-quality Indian cuisine.

Why is this place have 4+ Rating?? Or did I just order on an off day?? Samosas were decent. Butter Garlic Crab tasted good but where is the Crab? It was minced Crab meat, instead of Crab with shell, and I felt it tasted more like imitation crab than Blue Crab. I would still give them the benefit of doubt for that. But the Dum Pukht Lamb Biryani was such a huge disappointment. Rice barely had any flavor and was too dry. As to Lamb, I couldn't even cut it with a knife. It was literally like chewing a cardboard. Do people really like Biryani from here??

OMG, I am still thinking about the size of that naan! My friend and I stopped at Delhi Accent for lunch. We ordered vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, and butter naan. The chicken tikka masala had a kick and had more tomato sauce that I'm used to, but was tasted flavorful, and very good overall! But the real star was the naan. When our server brought it out, my friend and I both did a double take- it was HUGE! And it paired perfectly with the tikka masala sauce. While we only ordered one entree, we were both full from the meal.

Dinner experience, dine-in. Nice, semi-upscale cozy spot. Service is impeccable, friendly servers and given lot of attention. Even the owner stopped by to check on us. Reason for 3-stars is mainly food. Went with high expectations but was regular Indian food. Paneer tikka was big pieces of paneer, not enough flavor penetrated to each bit, leaves you with chewy panner. Same with big pieces of chicken and lamb in the tandoori platter. Malai Kofta also didn't tasted anything special. Naan was great, big fresh from the over, I would say one of the best tasted in NJ!

Enjoyed this experience quite a bit! We came just after Christmas when it seemed like all restaurants around were closed? But we were glad to find it Inside is stellar, sadly I didn't take a picture. I loved the seat I had, and I felt like I was in someone's living room. Also major kudos to our waiters and hosts, they were so friendly and they genuinely seemed like they wanted to know people who lives in the area & cared about their community. Ok now the food. That mixed grill is not for the mild/faint of heart. We took it home and it lasted us several days haha, it is overwhelming but really good. Same with the vegetable biryani. Get ready for some spice in your dinner! I recommend a mango lassi or daal as pictured. My go to is daal when I go to Indian restaurants because I love the simplicity and it helps me fight off the spiciness of the other dishes. The daal and garlic naan, while simple, tasted really good (sadly so good that I gobbled on premises and couldn't bring home any) Solid experience, thanks to the staff of Delhi Accents!

Excellent service and delicious food. Great atmosphere. I wish I remembered my servers name as he offered us perfect suggestions throughout the entire meal. Could not have asked for a better evening. Thanks to staff and ownership on such a great experience.

Used to love this place.Our go to for the best indian food in the area. Don't know what changed but the last couple of times it didn't live up to the standards. The food did not taste like before and the service wasn't good either. We used to love the kebabs and tandoori stuff here but now it is not good at all.You can see and taste the raw marinade on the chicken and didn't taste or feel like before. The pandora road wala butter chicken used to be the very best but now it is like any other orange gravy. The masala chai was the worst. Very watery and no flavor at all.Just felt like drinking warm water. I feel bad to write a review like this for delhi accent but don't waste your time or money on this.

My husband and I used to frequent this place once it opened pre-pandemic. Once the pandemic hit, we were with them through the creation of their online order menu and even the promotions they were running to keep the roof over their heads. Boy am I glad this place survived! We've been getting takeout for the last few years and decided to go for a date-night last weekend. It was lovely to be back in their ambiance and sit with their amazing servers. I'm not sure we could ever go back to take-out after the incredible dine-in experience. But who am I kidding?! With a toddler at home we can't always go out for date nights, and when the Indian food craving hits, this is still my go-to even for pickup! Food: I have to admit, this is my favorite Indian restaurant overall and a large part of it is simply because they have the best food. Their apps are incredible and the dishes from the clay oven cannot compete with any single other spot in the county (at least that I've been too). Admittedly, we've gotten take out more than dine-in lately and dinning in elevates these dishes even more! I loved experiencing the food fresh out the kitchen; removing the commute of the food sitting in containers in your car for 10 mins and then being re-plated. Although even for pickup it's still outrageously delicious, it's just not quite the same. Also, reality is that it is a bit pricey for takeout. If I'm going to spend $100ish on a couple of apps and two entrees, it's always nice to be doing that out in their environment and to be waited on and not have to clean up. Fellow parents of toddlers, am I right!? Atmosphere: The restaurant is as classy as it is beautiful. Oddly enough, its great for both date night and for big groups. It's really the best of both worlds. There is a front house manager or owner that's always suited up and checking on tables. It certainly elevates the experience. The service is always quick and attentive. They even pour your wine should you want to BYOB (CHYESSS, I love me a good BYOB spot!) We dropped in at 10:30pm on Friday and they were still bustling and seating tables! I'm glad we decided to do date night at our old Tried and True favorite food spot and were pleasantly surprised that post pandemic (or wherever we are with this Covid19 mayhem) the restaurant overall just may be even better than it was pre-pandemic. How is that possible!?

What a wonderfully delicious meal we had tonight, but the ambiance and incredible staff really made it a perfect evening. 100% coming back again. Thanks again to our waiters and compliments to the chef!

We went to Delhi Accent today and it was excellent, as always! Our server, Edward, was the perfect combination of friendliness and professionalism. The food and ambiance were outstanding, too. We tried Bhindi Bukhara for the first time, and definitely will order it again. Many restaurants say "innovative," but this one truly is.

This was a good add to ridgewood and deliver on its promise of being fancy and bougie! Food is relatively good and standard for a fancy Indian restaurant, it's expensive. Service is ok, we had to ask for chai to be reheated and they did it for us. Asked for extra onions on the side etc, they don't provide with food.

We went to Delhi Accent on Sunday evening (free parking in Ridgewood on Sunday), got seated right away. They Restaurent has beautiful interior, but found the lighting little too dark. We were welcomed with complementary Papadum and sauces (tamarind and mint). They have a decent menu, alongside a Chef's special menu. We ordered several appetizers and entree items. Appetizers items came out pretty fast but the main course took almost 40 minutes to come out. Was surprised that it took so long. The items we tried are: Veg Samosa - 3/5 Delhi Chaat - 4/5 Chicken Tikka Masala - 3/5 (full of bell peppers and spicy :O) Goan Shrimp Curry - 2/5 Dum Phukt Chicken Biryani - 5/5 (the best dish of the night, and the saving grace of the dinner). It had sweet aroma, chicken was tender and tasty. The naan on top was puffy and soft. We had a good experience in terms of service. The owner/manager checked with us couple of times and others were also helpful throughout the dinner. TL;DR Overall our experience: Food taste - 4/5 Food prep time - 2/5 Service - 4/5 Price - $$$ Restroom - 5/5

Great decor. Very friendly staff. Indoor dining with social distance available. Hand sanitizer available. Bathroom is clean. chicken tikka masala for some reason is spicy to me, usually this dish is not spicy. Goan shrimp is ok, a little blend. Special chicken biryani, very cool w the bread on the top, remind me the style of French onion soup. Food waiting time is a little bit long. It's good for people who can hang out and take their time. But it wasn't for us.

We selected Delhi accent to celebrate a special occasion, made reservations ahead of time. We were charged $100 deposit which was deducted from our total bill. I would definitely recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit over the weekend as the place was busy with folks waiting in line. We were immediately seated per our reservation in a nice quiet corner table as requested. The place was dimly lit, and had a great ambience. The staff was professional and friendly, and shared great recommendations. I've broken down ratings by the dishes we ordered: Appetizers: Palak Chaat - 4/5 (little greasy for my liking but delicious!) Pickled mushrooms - 5/5 Pudina Paneer Tikka - 5/5 (the portion size was generous) Entreé: Kurkuri Bhindi - 6/5 - was absolutely delicious! Methi Paneer Toast - 6/6 - again absolutely delicious Dal Bukhara - 5/5 - delicious and hearty Breads: Garlic naan - 5/5 - was an amazing size! Truffle cheese naan - 4/5 - tiny bit dry Drinks: Mango lassi - 3/5 - could be better! Overall we really enjoyed the experience, food and the service. Definitely highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an Indian restaurant in the area.

Catering review - The person who takes the order, provides info and actually manages it are totally different which results in lot of confusion and last min stress. We were promised delivery which last min changed to pickup or paid delivery; the quantity of food provided was less than what was explained eg: lasooni gobi & samosa chaat ended up being insufficient for the guests. Finally there was a problem with one of the chicken appetizers which caused an upset stomach for the guests who ate it. Overall will not be using the catering service ever again!

Lunch is great here, with big portions and generous spices, if you have been to their sister spot in Montclair you know what to expect. Finding a quality Indian spot always feels like finding a hidden treasure. The quick and attentive staff both in front and back of house have never missed when we drop in.

Delhi Accent is such a great addition to Ridgewood. It just recently opened but is gaining traction pretty quickly, and rightfully so. I absolutely love the vibe and decor of this spot, it has a very modern and intimate feel. The food is great too, it's definitely a spin on traditional Indian food. I came here on a Saturday night with a reservation and while it was pretty empty around 7:00pm when we first arrived, it filled up pretty quickly in here. I'd saw every table was taken at one point and there was a wait. I definitely recommend making a reservation for a weekend, especially since it's super easy to do so on OpenTable. In terms of food, we started out with the Saffron Butter Garlic Crab. I was really intrigued by this as you very rarely see shellfish (aside from shrimp) on the menu of an Indian restaurant. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by this appetizer. The crab was super flavorful and fresh tasting, not fishy at all. It had a little kick of spice to it with a great balance of spices. Would definitely get it again! As my main dish I got Bhindi (Okra) Masala. Okra is one of my favorite foods. It was delicious and not super greasy as I've had in other restaurants! I also tried some of the Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka Masala, both of which were exceptional! Their naan is also a must, it's HUGE! The chili garlic one is perfect, and you really only need one for a group! The only negative is that I found the service to be a bit slow, but we were having a chill Saturday night (with BYOB) so I wasn't in any particular rush. The food took a while to come out but I'll take that as a sign to show that everything is made fresh to order. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience here. I will definitely recommend it to people and hope to be back soon.

The experience of dining at Delhi Accent was definitely unique and would be qualified for a fine dining experience. We went on a weekend night so parking was tough to find in the nearby parking lot but we were able to find one by Ridgewood station. You have to kinda reserve your table atleast couple of hours in advance otherwise you don't get reservation here. We were seated as soon as we reached and they are limiting capacity during covid times. We ordered garlic naan, palak chaat, palak ke kofte from chefs special, baingan Mirch ka salan and Khyber naan. Ordered a lot for party of two but we thought we will get the rest to go. The palak chaat was awesome and mouth watering, garlic naan was very fresh and huggggge.. I don't think I would have ordered another naan had I known the size of their garlic naan. I would recommend looking at the pictures before ordering. Palak ke kofte were not the greatest and we're ok as to me it seemed very bland but on the other hand the baingan mirch ka salan was super spicy.. I know they marked it as spicy but usually Indian restaurants in the US don't have the same spice level as India but not here. So watch out as I couldn't eat that curry. I don't give this place a 5 star because of the service. I would have hoped the person taking our order to have warned me about the spice level or the huge naan. Everything else was awesome. Did like the place might come back if I want to splurge a little.

Found this place walking around downtown Ridgewood. We checked out the menu on yelp and decided to give it a try. What a great find! The owner, Shay, greeted and seated us. We were served water right away and given our menus. Appetizer: Dilli ki Papri Chat Entrees: Barrah Kabab- marinated and grilled boneless lamb pieces cooked to a tender texture and flavor. It came with rice, garnished with micro greens and flower petals. If you're in the mood for kabab, this is a good option for that perfect smokey charcoal flavor. Chicken Tikka masala- yummy! Chocolate halwah - it's like a warmed up candy bar. Very tasty. Bhunawala gosht- goat meat curry with an onion based sauce. A sweet and savory experience. Very good with the naan. Garlic naan and plain naan. Extremely large! Very tasty- came out fresh and piping hot.

I came to have my birthday dinner and by the end of the night I was not happy. The service is subpar and honestly tarnished my whole experience. The first time I came our server was very nice and I enjoyed my experience. But, after this encounter its safe to say it's my last time coming and recommending it to anyone. The whole time our server had an attitude and seemed like he did not want to be there. We had questions about the food and he looked bothered by them (which caused us not to order more). He also dropped the checkbook and laughed about it with a coworker after I picked it up from the floor. I also caught him pointing at my sister when she got up to use the bathroom. Absolutely horrible experience. Date of visit: 10/12/22 @ 5:30pm

Love this place!! And I look forward to their new locations! Everything is phenomenal- get the goat cheese and truffle naan and you'll never look back!! This is on my list as a last meal!! I am also a Hakka noodle fan which in some places can be difficult since it's a bit of fusion but here.. the best!!! They are opening up a new restaurant in Montclair and I can't wait to try it!

We've been here twice now. The ambience and service are good for a fine dining dinner. The food is the main reason for the average rating. Despite having an extensive menu, Naan was the highlight of the meal. The appetizers, curries, and grilled chicken platters are just not flavorful enough.

Delhi Accent is owned by a family who has two other "famous" Indian restaurants, Khyber Grill and Tamasha. I've heard great things about the latter, so I was hoping for the same at Delhi Accent. Sadly, it missed the mark for me. I had a chicken tandoori lunch special. My stars are for the rice, naan and dessert of the day (gulab jamun). The vegetables and dal were bland. My chicken tandoori was two generous pieces, but they were over cooked and slightly burnt. They did not have the traditional tandoori marks or color. I managed to enjoy a few bites of the rubbery chicken, and the flavors were mild but excellent. $13 is a steal for lunch, but I wouldn't recommend the tandoori chicken. For the minute I was inside, it was sumptuously decorated and clean. Parking is a little rough, so you may have to search a bit. I'd give this place another chance if a friend wanted to try it.

Drove 45 minutes just to come for the lamb rack biryani and it was well worth it! We actually called the resturant an hour before to make sure they had the lamb rack and they said they'd save us one since they only had a couple left. To start, I highly recommend the palak chaat and chicken kebab trio. The palak chaat was different from any other palak chaat I've tasted. Instead of using papdi for the base, they fry the spinach so it's crispy, so there's no need for the papdi. It's then topped with yogurt, sev and pomegranate seeds. It's served in a really big bowl. One bowl is good to share for 3-4 people. The kebab trio is good as well. They give you decently size kebabs and they're all different. If you like spicy, I'd recommend ordering it spicy. It's a good kick and not overly spicy. For main entrees, the lamb rack biryani is a must. Its different from any biryani I've ordered. The lamb is cooked just right and the rice isn't too overwhelming. It is a special item so they don't serve it all the time. I would call ahead and check to see if they're serving it that night. I would also try the amboitk curry with fish. It's probably one of the best fish curries I've ever had. For dessert, we've ordered the paan masala ice cream and moong dal halwa. The staff was friendly and also threw in the Orange Kulfi for free. The paan masala ice cream was definitely the best dessert. It's so fresh and tasted basically like vanilla ice creamed rolled in fresh paan masalsa. The halwa was good as well but the orange kufli, in my opinion, was just okay. Overall, this was a great experience. The staff was also very friendly with us, conversing with us multiple times throughout the night. It's also BYOB so bring your bottles!

Found out about this hidden gem through yelp north jersey's Instagram account and I am so happy with my experience here! I had to come here to try the lamb rack biriyani. The ambiance is classy and upscale, I definitely was not expecting the level of fancy in the restaurant. The decorations are trendy and authentic. I really liked the mural of the lady on the wall, it's so nice! The service was extremely welcoming, engaging, and quick as well. Our waiter recommended the best items on the menu and the owner and even the chef came to talk to us as well! For the food, we started with the Palak Chaat and it was delicious. It basically is fried spinach as the chaat base with savory, spicy and sweet chutney that compliment the taste so well. It is seasoned with pomegranate seeds too. Our waiter insisted that we try the Palak chaat and I'm so happy he told us to try it! We also got the Kabob Trio and they were chicken pieces marinated in different kinds of spices and they were so tender and soft. We really enjoyed those as well. For main courses, we got the lamb rack biriyani (obviously) and the Goa Fish Curry (ambotik sauce- a new chef's special that they had just added to the menu). Both dishes were absolutely delicious! The lamb rack's meat came off the bone easily and the gravy over the lamb was so delicious. The rice in the biriyani was very flavorful too. The ambotik sauce was also so good! It was the perfect mix of tangy and spicy and it went really well with the tilapia fish (you can choose to have it with shrimp or chicken too). We got tandoori roti and rice with it as well. Lastly, for dessert we ordered the paan masala ice cream and the moongdal halwa. The owner insisted we try the new orange kulfi so he ended up treating us to that as well! The paan masala ice cream was really good! You're only going to like it if you like paan masala though. The moongdal halwa was really good too. It was the perfect amount of sweet and not overwhelming at all. The orange kulfi ice cream was good too, but I'm not that big of a fan of orange flavored ice cream. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed every single dish and dessert I tried. Overall, I'm so happy with my experience here. The service was great and the food was great, what else do you need? I can't wait to come back here again!

I don't typically go for Indian restaurant, but decided to give it a try. I am glad I did, because food here is excellent. Every dish was very flavorful and goes great to with naan. I really like their lamb chop. I recommend that you try this restaurant

Their veg Manchuria and chili paneer are good, but a little salty and the Manchuria balls are little hard. But both the fishy are flavorful. Paneer tikka and butter chicken are little tangy. Not the best I have had. Could be way better and a little spicy. BEST PART: Naan it's really good.

Food was so amazing and it was beautiful inside! The naan was huge and the butter chicken was so creamy with excellent presentation. Edwin our waiter was the best! Very attentive and kind and recommended me the black lentils which were sooo good!

I'd seen this restaurant in passing and after looking at the menu, couldn't pass up the great pricing for a lunch meal. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala (Medium spice level) with plain naan. The tikka masala was definitely more tomato-y but had great flavor. I regret not getting it spicier as the medium had no spice whatsoever. The naan was soft and I'll definitely be trying the garlic version next time. Friendly staff, good lunch pricing and portions, and petty good food!

As an Indian, I already believe the best food is made from my moms hand. Although I gotta say, this place does a great job of adding a twist. First of all, the naan was the size of my fiancé's head and mine combined, it was basically the size of a dosa. The portions of food at this place was satisfying. My fiancé, and I eat meat. My best friend and her fiancé are vegetarians. They had food options for all of us. We dug right in. We got some common items and some innovative ones. Both traditional and innovative dishes were amazing. Would love to come back here when I'm back in town.

Took an hour to get food. Food was dry and not cooked well. It was a busy night I get it, but worst service I have ever experienced. Go ANYWHERE else.

I was so happy to find this Indian restaurant. I wish it was closer to my house I would come here for lunch often. The food was delicious, prices are reasonable. *Pro tip: get lunch here! For $11 you get a lot of delicious food and dessert Plus All Lunch Specials are Served with Basmati Rice & A Choice of Naan or Roti Onion Kulcha or Garlic Naan. The space is beautifully designed and decorated in a way where every element is interesting. The lighting, the colors, the textures create an ambiance with a touch of modern glam. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, I was glad I knew what I was getting because the server wasn't very proactive into explaining things unless I asked specific questions. The food is absolutely amazing. Out of this world. Authentic flavors. I can't recommend this restaurant more. Dilli Ki Papri Chaat 4.5 Stars Very flavorful Butter chicken Lollipops: 5 stars. Delicious and juicy plus super cool presentation! Chicken tikka role: 4 stars. It's ehh standart. Best part is the Naan which you can order on the side Paneer Makhani: 4.5 starts My first time trying this dish and loved the flavors. So Delicious ! Naan: 5 stars. Fluffy, and soft, Sooo good! The chai isn't as sweet as the typical ones we get which was great. It was quite delicious.

4.5 stars for the food, 5 stars for the service, 4 stars for ambiance. My kids' first time dining at an Indian restaurant and all went all. Our waiter made great recommendations and we enjoyed variety of appetizers, curry and lamb chop. Desert was very good too. Garlic nan was excellent. Considering the ambiance and service the price was very reasonable. BYOB!

Our favorite authentic Indian restaurant, located in Ridgewood NJ. The restaurant is located in a high trafficked area of Bergen County of New Jersey. They respect ams adhere to the covid guideline. Whether eating outdoors or indoors where you can admire their sophisticated decor, definitely deserve a visit . We always bring our own wine. The samosas, the Buffalo cauliflower, vindaloo dishes, the naan - please make your reservations and let me know your thoughts. Restaurant is closed on Mondays. I will post photos on my next visit.

Don't do the lunch specials. Four of us went for lunch. I ordered the chicken tikka masala. With no exaggeration, I was LITERALLY served two cubed pieces of chicken in a bit of marsala sauce for $13. I couldn't believe it. My husband's dish as well. I believe they ration the chicken pieces- two per order. It's unbelievable and embarrassing, to say the least. AND they gave us a small bowl of rice for four people.

Ridgewood has one of the best restaurants in the area. I follow Yelp on Instagram and they had advertised this place by having people who follow enter in a contest to win $100! Of course, I had to try and enter to win ( I didn't win), but I did get a message the following day after entry from Delhi Accent with a $15 certificate! Some plans fell through on a Saturday night and my husband and I decided to come here for dinner (thankfully they closed at 11pm). Not busy at all with a few patrons, we were seated immediately, choosing to sit by the window. The interior of this place is so cute- very modern and very much how I'd like to imagine my own dining room. Hardwood floors with rustic looking wooden tables and cloth chairs, the color scheme and the lighting really sets the mood for this new place. There's a warm vibe when you first walk in and it just feels homey. The menu is extensive, but not too overwhelming, with some of the typical foods you'll see at other Indian restaurants. My husband and I settled for their garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and the aloo gobi masala dum. We were served this complimentary potato ball with mango dressing on top- kind of like croquette. Anything involving potatoes, is a plus on in my book! Our food didn't take long to come out right after. Having gone to other Indian restaurants before, we were expecting the naan to be cut up into pieces and served in a basket... this was NOT the case at Delhi Accent. If you're a fan of naan, this is a must order dish- the naan was bigger than my face and probably about the size of a tennis racket (a little overly exaggerated, but you'll see in the my pics). It. Was. HUGE. I love anything with garlic in it and the way the naan was cooked where the edges were a little burnt, but not TOO burnt, was absolutely mouth-watering. My aloo gobi masala (cauliflower and potatoes) was so light and delicious. I mixed it with a little of the basmati rice but I could've definitely eaten the dish alone. My husband's chicken tikka masala was cooked really well. The chicken was nice and tender, the masala wasn't too thick and yogurty and the spices weren't overpowering where you can't enjoy your food. Our waiter/owner (?), Shay, engaged in conversation with us throughout the night, asking how the food is, refilling our waters, talking to us about Ridgewood, and recommending other locations for us to try! The service we received tonight was phenomenal. Good service and good food is a mixture that'll get a new place like this 5 stars on Yelp. I will definitely come back here in the future with some friends whenever I'm craving Indian food! Prices are reasonable, food is delicious, service was amazing, and BYOB- what more could you ask for? For those who know Ridgewood, parking can be annoying, but there's ample parking next to the restaurant. I look forward to coming back here- nothing like a good spicy dish to warm me up during the cold winter months ahead! Thank you Shay and the rest of your staff for treating us so well and for the additional recommendations to other family-owned restaurants!

My husband I were craving some good Indian food for dinner and we had seen a Facebook ad for this new Indian restaurant in Ridgewood. We love coming to Ridgewood for the atmosphere and cute restaurants so we just had to try this place out. It was a Sunday night and only a few tables were full so we were seated right away. From the moment we entered the restaurant until the moment we left, we were treated with the utmost hospitality. The owner of the restaurant along with the staff were so kind and pleasant, it made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and has a nice warm vibe. The menu is vast and very inclusive so we had so many options to choose from. We were greeted with a delicious Amuse Bouche of a potato tiki with a sweet and spicy mango chutney. It was perfectly crispy and savory and a great way to kick off the meal. We love trying new restaurants so we ordered a variety of appetizers to taste some classic items and new innovative items to get a feel for the restaurants flavor and style. We ordered a lasuni gobi, Delhi papdi chaat, pudina paneer tikka, and the butter chicken lollipops. The appetizers were so flavorful and delicious. I'm not a chaat fan but I couldn't stop eating this one. The lasuni gobi was perfectly crispy, spicy and garlicky and the butter chicken lollipops were a total hit, I definitely recommend it! The paneer tikka was good, but it was a bit too dry for me and I was pretty full from the other appetizers. For the main course we ordered the methi paneer malai toast and a chili garlic naan to share. It was probably the best Indian main course and best naan I've ever had. The naan was huge and more than enough for us to share but the perfect ratio of chili to garlic and butter. The paneer entree was beautifully rich and creamy and the paneer itself was melt in your mouth. We also had the chance to try the orange kulfi dessert as well as a few others. The orange kulfi was such a unique concept and absolutely amazing. I was so stuffed I couldn't eat much of it but the flavors were phenomenal. Overall, I would highly recommend this as a wonderful fine dining Indian restaurant for the north jersey area. I know I will definitely be back and next time with family and friends. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

Normally I am a big fan of this place, but tonight was disappointing. The appetizer (which came to us less than warm) tasted delicious, but the entree were let downs. The Chicken Vindaloo: on the menu it says it's "not for the faint-hearted" so, normally, we assumed it was going to be spicy. The dish had less spice than the chana masala we ordered and it was warm at most. We thought we had gotten the wrong dish because it wasn't even the slightest spicy and it had potatoes (which was not listed on the menu). It wasn't bad in taste but it wasn't what we ordered from what was described on the menu. They insisted it was the right dish and asked us if we wanted to take it back but at that point we don't want to send it to the back and wait. We asked two waiters about the dish and one of them said that they normally ask "not spicy, medium, or hot" and we were not asked that. The waiter then said that they make it medium if nothing is said BUT THIS ISNT SPICY. My spice tolerance is decent, but not extraordinary where something of medium heat would be nothing to me. The chana masala was okay; a little watered down but for the most part good. We decided to try a new type of naan so we got the Khyber Parantha; now it said there's mint on it but we were taken aback about how much (look at the picture). We scrapped off of the majority and it was fine after that, but this is just something to keep in mind. Now the service: They filled our water glasses ONCE in the beginning and never again. They also would walk around but not check in on us if everything was okay. At the end, (when they had already picked up our food from the table) we were waiting to get a check and leave (we sat there looking around with a credit card in hand) and NO ONE came to us until we had to stop a waiter walking by and ask. So disappointed.

There's a lot of Indian dining options in Ridgewood, this was just subpar. Not to say the food was bad but definitely not warranting my return. Palak Chaat was great, kebabs were good. Butter chicken tasted like vodka sauce which was a big turn off. Price point is standard. But there are way better options.

We've been in New Jersey for over 25 years, and one thing the Northern Part of New Jersey has always lacked is a fine dining, eclectic restaurant in the Indian category. We got a chance to come here few days of it opening and it was something I was personally looking forward to even leading up to the opening. On first take, when you enter, the beautiful setting, dim lighting, soft music and staff that greeted you with a smile was very welcoming. Akshay, the owner came and seated us and we were excited to get started right away. We ordered the following appetizers: Delhi chaat - PHENOMENAL, right level of crisp, right mix of potatoes and the chutneys were phenomenal. Butter chicken lollipops - very different and very impressive. Absolutely delicious. Pudhina paneer - big quantity, and delicious but just slightly on the drier side, could be just slightly more moist Lasooni Gobi- AMAZING. Crispy, FRESH garlic pieces and the perfect tang to it. We got the chili garlic naan for main course which btw is HUGE. We typically eat one naan each, this one naan was good for two of us and had left overs. We ordered the Methi malai toast which was absolutely delicious. The fresh methi, pieces churned in the perfect and delectable gravy was rich in taste but even better as a compliment with the semi toasted paneer. By the end of the dinner we couldn't move because of how full we were but what's a dinner without dessert! The dessert we got was Gulab jamun-- classic and delicious And ORANGE KULFI -- wow, this was amazing. Real orange on the outside stuffed with a cold center of kulfi on the inside and the taste was so delicious you can't stop eating it. We told Akshay, it's been a long time coming for a delicious fine dining Indian restaurant in the north jersey area. This hit the spot, the tastebuds, and the cravings. We will be back, but next time with our friends and our families to let them experience the delicious tastes! A must try in an already restaurant favorite city of Ridgewood, this adds to the city's rich culture in delicious restaurants Nice job done, can't wait to be back.

My wife and I had just spent a long day traipsing around the general area doing family genealogy. We were hungry and just needed a place to sit and relax. We got there just as it opened at 5:00 pm. The restaurant is BYOB, so no drinks available for us. But water tasted pretty good. The menu is extensive. The host recommended the tandoori items, so we focused on that. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees. Along with dal, butter naan, and basmati rice, we had much more food than we could possibly eat. Plus they served us a delicious amuse buche. Everything was absolutely delicious. And the service was exceptional. Finally, when the bill came, very reasonable. This restaurant has only been open for 6 days, so lots of things could have gone wrong. Nothing did, which is a testament to the training given to the staff. This was an excellent choice and we will go back!

Food is exquisitely consistent. My favorite North Indian restaurant. Formerly known as Bhukara Grill all of the way from NYC is now in Ridgewood, NJ!! All of their Tandoori Grilled dishes are to die for along with their elongated, stretched Garlic Naan bread. Give it a try....
