I had an incredible experience! The ambiance was festive and cozy, especially with the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in the background. The food was beyond delicious — the samosas were crispy and flavorful, served with fresh greens and chutneys that were the perfect accompaniment. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and spiced to perfection, paired beautifully with fragrant basmati rice and the best garlic naan I’ve had in a long time. Every bite was a delight! The presentation of the dishes was stunning, and the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring an excellent dining experience from start to finish. This place is a true gem for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend!

The sexy fries were delicious! Actually everything was delicious. The lamb curry was so tasteful and their shrimp was “omg great “ .

Absolutely loved this place! Amazing tasty and carefully crafted food and a cozy yet chic ambiance. Our waiter was also really nice and efficient. Food does take a moment to be ready, and that's absolutely normal given the result! Thank you we'll be back 💖🙏

We were in the area past 3 so there were limited places open, glad to know this place stays open in between lunch and dinner. We had the butter chicken, garlic naan, amritsari fish fry food was flavorful and delicious! Will definitely come back here again 👌🏼

BUTTER CHICKEN That is the headline for this review because they do serve one of the most authentic butter chicken you can find around LA. Apart from that, they have bunch of gourmet style Indian food. I loved the malai chicken kebab. They were perfectly cooked with soft and succulent texture. Definitely go for that. The other personal fav was paneer shashlik, it just melts in your mouth and boasts true authentic Indian flavors. I found out the chef here has actually worked and trained with Sanjeev Kapoor who is a renowned chef and you can definitely tell the difference in food from other places. The ambiance is pretty nice and chill with great service! I would highly recommend this place.

Wow!!!! The flavors coursing through this food are absolutely incredible. Sagar was attentive and full of fun information about the food, and it is clear the chefs really love what they do. It truly shines through in service and flavor. With spices imported directly from India, the use of all natural ingredients leaves you feeling great, both beaming from a delightful experience and with a happy tummy. The chefs are attentive to the complex flavors, making sure everything is bursting with yumminess. The menu had dishes originating from all over India, from southern street food, to the more popular (in usa) northern dishes. Favorite experience: Panipuri appetizer. Favorite flavors: We loved the Chicken Chili (aka wet Chicken 65 if you are familiar), the Tandoori Salmon (soft and flakey) and even the sexy fries! Oh and the garlic truffle Naan. Omg... (We loved it all, but those were definitely the highlights.) Didn't get dessert this time, but I intend to next time. There absolutely will be a next time! Yum yummy yum yum yum!

This is one of the best Indian restaurants around Los Angeles area. We ordered their signature dishes- chicken kabab and butter chicken. Both were extraordinary in taste as well as presentation. The staff were very friendly and we had a really great time here. Suggest everyone to try this restaurant.

Still SO good after almost a year! We love the korma and the pani puri so much now! We followed the chef here from Culver City (Arth) for his original, refined elevated Northern Indian dishes. We were surprised at the low key cafe but there is plenty of lot parking and homey, inviting decor and a big welcome. Everyone here seems to just love being here and the feeling is contagious. And we weren't disappointed in the food. We had the naan while we were waiting and it as standout thinner, extra crispy, flavorful as ever. The Chettinad chicken curry also stands out for the finesse and interest that is in every dish at this restaurant. We tried some of the vegetarian dishes ordered for the table: jackfruit masala and mushroom kofta—roasted stuffed mushrooms with onion - satisfying enough to take the place of any meat protein.Still our old favorites of the Tandoori Cornish Hen and the lamb chops are always a must-order. Destination drive worthy, found a no-freeway shortcut through Mission Road all the way to DTLA and west.

Delhi Belly - A Hidden Gem for Incredible Indian Food in Alhambra If you're looking for some of the best Indian food in Alhambra, Delhi Belly is a must-visit. It's a hidden gem that deserves way more customers than it gets, but that just means you get seated instantly, even when other restaurants on Main Street have long waits. The food is absolutely delicious, made fresh to order, and packed with authentic flavors. I've tried both the Chicken Korma and Chicken Saag, and they were phenomenal--rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. Every dish I've had here has been consistently excellent, and I can't wait to come back and try more. The ambiance is warm and cozy, making it an ideal spot on a cold day when you're craving hot, comforting curry. Whether you're dining in or grabbing a meal before catching a movie at the nearby theater, this place is a solid choice. Service is another highlight--the servers are incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring you have everything you need. While the food takes a little longer to arrive, it's because they make everything fresh, and trust me, it's worth the wait. If you're tired of long wait times at other Main Street spots, Delhi Belly is the perfect alternative. You'll get amazing food, great service, and a comfortable dining experience without the hassle of waiting forever for a table. Highly recommend this place! It's easily one of my top go-to spots in Alhambra, and if you love Indian food (or even if you haven't had much of it before), you won't be disappointed.

I've gotten take out from this place a couple of times. I have never dined in so I cannot comment on the dine in service. However, I have never had issues with take out as far as getting the order on time and right. I have tried the Crispy Cauliflower Bites, Signature Butter Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo and Coconut Pumpkin Curry. Everything is a flavor bomb but my absolute favorite was the vegan Coconut Pumpkin Curry. Packed with flavors and perfect with a bowl of rice.

Fantastic place to grab some Indian fusion foods in Downtown Alhambra. The restaurant is beautiful with cool looking décor and lights in the front. We ordered but the food took awhile to actually arrive. There was only one waitress and there wasn't too much staff but you can tell everything was freshly made. Very nice of them to give us free samosas because we had to wait a long time (probably 30-40 minutes before our food came). I got these items. Garlic Truffle Naan - A must get if you're getting some type of curry. Naan isn't complimentary here but it's worth adding it on. (5/5) Saffron Rice - Rice does not come with the dishes so adding rice is a must. Saffron rice was tasty selection but they also have many other types of rice. (4/5) Samosa - A classic samosa with a small salad and two different sauces. It's a good appetizer. (4/5) Lamb Vindaloo - Perfectly cooked lamb that was pretty tender. Flavors were good but be warned this can be a bit spicy. Enjoyed it. (4.5/5) Tandoori Cornish Hen - This is so unique because how often can you find Cornish hen at a restaurant. They cook it perfectly and it's very unique. Flavorful, a bit spicy and overall delicious. (4.5/5) Rose Lassi - Never heard of a rose lassi but this was pretty good. Delicious yogurty flavor and a good drink. (4.5/5) Expect some time for your food to arrive because they make everything to order. Definitely come here expecting to wait some time and you'll have a good experience. Prices are on the mid tier/pricey side. I spent $56 for two people with no leftovers. Solid Indian Fusion style food! Parking - Nearby parking structure/lot behind across from the city hall or any of the lots in Downtown Alhambra.

Came here again 2 more times. This time we brought family. On a Sunday October 27, 2024. **Please be patient as the kitchen staff is short on this day** but when the food arrived everyone was raving about how delicious the food was and we ordered some to go for work the following day! Ordered the succulent tandoori wings again, and tried a different curry mix seafood curry and chili cream cheese naan! All delicious and worth it!

Went on the last Sun in Dec at 11:30am. We both got bottomless mimosas, sexy fries, and the house lunch with chicken tikka masala. The house lunch specials come with a soda, naan, and salad and is a good deal. We both enjoyed our food and would come back. The waitress was nice and attentive.

The food here is delicious but their service not so much. The food is 5/5 but the service is would say 2.5/5. They are very slow at doing everything. It took awhile for them to get a highchair for my baby. Then took a while to give us water. And the food took 30 minutes to come out. At least the food was freshly made and delicious and worth it. If they just give a warning that it takes that long, then guest would be more aware. Here are the foods that we tried and everything was delicious. Panipuri - It's such an interesting apperitizer. It's a must try at least once. I like the red sauce better than the green. Lamb Dum Biryani - This is almost like fried rice but Indian style. It comes with a yogurt so it's not so dry. Signature Butter Chicken - highly recommend to try this. The curry on the butter chicken is delicious Saffron Rice - standard rice thats good with rheir curry Garlic Truffle Naan - comes in 4 pieces and so delicious. I would come back again, maybe I would order ahead of time than waiting that long with kids there. Highly recommend to come here if you like to try good Indian food.

I have a few of classics. They are flavorful and delicious. Will come back for more. It's first time for her to try panipuri and saag paneer. She likes it.

This restaurant serves modern Indian food with amazing flavors and stunning presentation! We ordered: Panipuri (appetizer served in shot glasses) Lamb chops Tandoori Cornish Hen Signature Butter Chicken Signature Saag Burrata Pesto Chicken Mango Lassi Coconut Water in Shell Chilli Cream Cheese Naan We were blown away by the plating--it felt like fine dining! The butter chicken sauce was rich and flavorful, with tender chicken that melted in your mouth. The panipuri was a fun twist, letting us pour two different sauces! And the burrata? A unique blend of creamy goodness with Indian spices!

#13 for 2024 I want to come back here soon. Located dead center downtown Alhambra by the corner of Garfield and Main this hidden little gem packed many delicious delectable dishes. I asked my friend to find a place to eat. I told her should could decide but she gave me the choice of cuisine. We ended up here for lunch on a Tuesday. Entering I was impressed with the upscale decor. Very clean, inviting and softly pleasing to the eyes. The friendly server said we could sit anywhere. Menus and water were brought over. The whole menu looked good many items I was familiar with and many more I was not. This was going to be interesting. We finally settled on $10 panipuri, $7 classic samosa, $16 signature butter chicken and $17 fish moilee. I also ordered $5 garlic truffle naan and $4 saffron rice to accompany the main dishes. We both wanted a nice drink. We make lassi many times at home. However, my friend was curious what a rose lassi would taste like. I described it and told her I wasn't a fan. She ordered it any way. She didn't like it. I enjoyed my mango lassi. I let her taste it and decided to have one for her self. The panipuri was the 1st to come out. I had no idea what this was but it was very pretty. Very peculiar how the crispy semolina puff held the potato spiced mixture decorated with beautiful flowers sitting atop small parfait glasses. The glass held alternating tamarind water and cilantro masala water. I still couldn't figure what to do. This must happen often because the server came over smiling asking if we ever had this before. I never seen this before. He explained you pour the liquid in and pop the whole thing in your mouth. I don't know if my mouth is big enough but here I go. It was definitely a unique fun experience that we enjoyed. And... it was so delicious. I would come back for this alone. These were some of the biggest samosas I've seen. Happy to seen the greens to eat with they were mouth watering good. The signature butter chicken is tandoor roasted boneless chicken with their signature butter gravy. I've had this dish before but that signature butter gravy took it to a whole new level. This went well with the garlic naan. The white fish was in a coconut, tumeric, curry leaf gravy for the fish moilee. Very rich and delicious another winner. I couldn't eat too much of this but I wanted to. Like the chicken the naan and rice was good to eat with. We were both happy to have eaten here having a wonderful fun adventure and vowed to return with friends to share the food and experience.

Stopped here for a quick lunch and ended up longer than expected. It took them 20+ minutes to get us our drinks (ice water and two fountain beverages that came with the lunch special). Another 15 minutes or so to get our food. Total 25+ minutes. Although we came on a weekend, it wasn't busy, so it shouldn't take that long to get two lunch specials and simple beverages. We also added a side of Parmesan fries which took them 25 minutes or more. If we didn't ask to cancel, we would still be waiting. And their excuse was "we have a rush," with only a total of 6 tables lol. Food tasted like something you can get from Trader Joe's and just heat it up. I had better Indian food. The fries couldn't have been worse. You can taste that it's pulled from a grocery freezer and tossed in the air fryer (which took them over 25+ minutes) to give us. $16 for a lunch special with a beverage might sound like a deal. But not at this place. It's served in one of those metal compartment tray with a handful of lettuce tossed in dressing, 5 small slices of naan, maybe two laddle full of butter chicken / chicken tikka marsala, and one and a half scoop of basmati rice. They could be a bit more generous with the amount of food for that price. Service was horrible. The waitress wasn't attentive at all. We had to get our own silverware and napkins. And when asking for three plates, she only gave us one. lol. I don't know if it's because we didn't order as much as they expected us to order for a party of three, but I felt the bad service was due to not ordering more food. But I am glad I didn't order more food because it didn't live up to the Indian food I had. I will not be back nor would I recommend this place to anyone unless you have never experienced bad service, then be my guest. Take your business where you're appreciated.

We were feeling Indian tonight and strolled over to Delhi Belly after the city tree lighting ceremony. The interior is nice and welcoming however the music was a bit too clubby for my liking. It was a Friday night however so maybe that's the vibe? Overall the food was good. In my opinion the chicken tikka masala was above average however my wife and mother in law thought the saag paneer was average or perhaps below even. The chicken kebab skewers were good too. Juicy and a bit spicy which was disappointing because we ordered that for the kids but there was no warning about the spiciness for the young kids...proly our fault for not asking. My main gripe was that I ordered an on tap beer and I received a 3/4 pint pour(see photo). Overall, I enjoyed this place and would probably come back to try their happy hour or lunch special.

Yelp
Been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm glad I did! I parked around a block behind the place, near the Alhambra library. The place is somewhat an Indian fusion place but still very traditional. All the food were hot fresh and bursting in flavors ! Sexy fries and the wings were crispy and filled with spices, tacos were good and filled with toppings, and the best was the lamb tikka masala with basmati rice. Happy hour starts 3pm and it's 10% for students, and 10% if you check-in and pay with cash!

Second time here. Get three things for sure. The saag paneer, the saffron rice and the garlic naan. Best I've ever tasted...and that goes for food in India, including Delhi. However, everything is basically a la carte and doesn't come with rice. The lunch special is most economical dish on the menu. But you'll have to add on in order to get saffron rice and the garlic naan...so it adds up. Wish the prices were lower. Or they add rice to create better value. We were there from noon to 2 pm., we were the only customers...and the first time, it was the same....makes you feel special, like it's a private restaurant open just for you...but... I hope you survive because the swag and garlic naan is amazing.

I have very limited experience with Indian food, but each time I am impressed with how DELICIOUS everything is On UberEats, I ordered: Mango lassi (10/10) Gulab jamun (11/10) Butter chicken (10/10) Garlic truffle Naan (12/10) Everything was *chefs kiss* and I am looking forward to trying more food in the upcoming future! Love love love everything

The ambiance feels so cozy and inviting. The service and food were great! I had the butter chicken dish which was delicious.

What a gem. Walked in on a whim and was served immediately. While I've had Indian food before (and enjoyed it), this was, by far, the most delicious and flavorful Indian meals. The tikka masala was like a holiday - the spices tasted so familiar, comforting and delicious. Salad was fresh and crisp, while the lentil soup was hot and paired with the rice and chicken well. We will definitely be back..hopefully soon.

So I came finally here twice and have enough information to write up my observations. First off, the location is nice - they are right off Main St with plenty of street parking and structure parking around and is conveniently close to other points of interests like Afters ice cream! Secondly, the menu offers an extensive list of typical Indian restaurant dishes from tandori to curry, but what makes them shine and most interestingly is their items fused with American cuisine. The Pesto Chicken tandori and Tikka street tacos stood out to me. The food here is tasty! The butter chicken and tikka Marsala are best paired with the saffron rice and garlic truffle naan. All extra for sure but you know I'm paying for the extraness. I also highly recommend the Panipuri starter, which is typically a street food item in India, but that they have elevated here and presented as a tray of shots! It feels so LA like, I'm not complaining! However, it saddens me to bear the news why I feel this place isn't a 5 star - the service is strangely inattentive here. Both times I came to eat, they forgot to give us water and drinks so we didn't get them till nearly the end of the meal. This happened with two different wait staff members! Are they just reluctant about using cups? It wasn't busy in both times I've eaten at the establishment either. Getting the bill was a troublesome too, and we had ask for it twice. On the other hand, they leave you to your meal peacefully, so I think introverted people would be happy to eat here. Overall, food is interesting and tasty. The ambience is trendy with EDM playing in the background (fortunately not too insanely loud), and location is convenient. 5/5 recommend to come here and fill your belly!

Hello to the only Indian place my daughter will eat at! The Saag here is something else and thats coming from a carnivore! Hidden gem for sure

We walked over to the restaurant after the Christmas tree lighting In Alhambra. First time trying the spot. There is some upbeat bordering on techno music playing which I'm not sure fit the ambiance. Our server did not seem to really enjoy her job every time we asked for something she would leave quickly so if we wanted two items let's says spoons and napkins we would have to wait for her to return. The tikki masala was better than average taste and presentation wise however the saag paneer was underwhelming and was a really unnerving bright green color like there was something other than spinach included. The first tandoor chicken we ordered for our kids was entirely too spicy and we had to ask for a second chicken dish that would be no spice for the kids. It would have been nice if the server had noticed two very young kids at the table and mentioned that the tandoor chicken we ordered would be very spicy.

Kristine L.

Yelp
Came here during the Lunar New Year festival. It wasn't too busy and we got seated right away. There was one girl tending to the tables and maybe like 10 guests inside. Between the 3 of us, we ordered 2 orders of samosas (2 pc/order), cauliflower and potato, chicken tikka masala, plain rice and garlic naan. The samosa was def my fave, it was fresh and crispy and seasoned very well. The cauliflower and potato was ok, it was way more potato than cauliflower. The tikka masala was not the best I've had - just something missing that I couldn't quite put my finger on and they kind of skimped on the amount of chicken. Service was probably the worst part of the experience. While the waitress was nice enough, she didn't come by our table even once and I had to go up and ask her to refill our water. She seemed to not pay any attention to any of the tables and spent her time drying dishes and just staying near the beverage fountain. While I think they were understaffed, again she paid zero attention and we had to flag her to get takeout boxes and the bill and I had to bring the credit card up to her. I might as well have just done all the work myself. Overall would not come back. The food was just decent but the service left a lot to be desired. And prices weren't exactly the best deal for what you get.

Albert C.

Yelp
The food here was phenomenal and mind blowing. Every time I took a bite of the food, I was in awe of how flavorful each dish was. Not only that, but the service was welcoming. Anisha took very good care of us. The atmosphere here was very welcoming and pleasant. If you were to come here and try only one thing, I highly recommend eating the Lamb Saag because of how the tasty it was, the meat complimented the sauce extremely well, along with the meat being super tender, it made the dish so much better. Pair it up with the Garlic Naan and Cilantro Rice = Chef's Kiss Parking: There's nearby parking around the area that calls for a little 3-5 minute walk. Definitely will come here again :)

Yelp
More like 3.5 stars. Pretty decent Indian food but the flavors seem a bit "toned down". Portions are generous and the food is fresh and pretty tasty. Service is friendly but can be a little slow even if there's nobody in the place. Nice vibe, too. If you're a local and like Indian food give them a try, but there are other, more authentic, choices available.

Christopher C.

Yelp
Excellent flavors, reasonably priced, and inviting atmosphere. Our waitress was very kind and addressed our concerns regarding portion sizes to ensure that we had ordered an adequate amount of food without robbing ourselves of trying a different diverse set of menu options. Happy to see more Southeast Asian restaurants pop up in the Alhambra area.

Came a bit past their lunch hour special . There's parking around the corner and it's in a centralized street. Good food and service. Would love to take advantage of lunch special or to-go specials as you can get their butter chicken for a take out special. It was well seasoned, and super tasty! It was quiet when I came to eat here, with cooking videos playing on the TV (most likely food network). I look forward to coming back here when I am in the area next.

Angel C.

Yelp
Place might look amazing, but that's because it has to considering the street. Not many indian restaurants around. If they don't lower their prices how on Earth is Indian food suppose to get more popular. Vibes are cozy, but service is somwhat lacking, understandable considering the prices; Aint nobody tipping with those charges. Haiku: Parking Lot in back Prices make my wallet cry Waitress a tad rude

My friend and I came here on a weekday so it wasn't busy. The woman that took our order was nice and easily answered the questions we had. The place was a small, fancy looking place. We got the Lamb Vindaloo, Signature Butter Chicken, and their Garlic Naan. All were good but my friend and I agree that the butter chicken was the best. The vindaloo was good but too spicy for me. The garlic naan was excellent. Overall the food here was really good but also didn't feel like it was worth it at the price point. There are other Indian places that taste just as good at a cheaper price point.

Suong L.

Yelp
The vibe of this place is chill and casual. There's moderately loud Indian tunes playing in the background. It's not so loud that it drowns you out but you can still hear words relatively clearly. Service: Very sweet and friendly! We wanted to have the 4 of us sit at the booth/chair table by the window. Our server helped grab another table nearby to push together for us since the one right next to us didn't fit properly. Food: Very flavorful and punchy without it being overwhelming and knocking you over. Since I'm vegetarian, I can only speak for a few dishes. Paneer Tikka Masala - Creamy, tangy, and a little sweet. It feels like a well-rounded and good entry level Tikka Masala compared to the same dish I've had elsewhere. The spices/seasonings are present but shouldn't be too harsh for people without compromising on the classic flavor of a Tikka. The bits of paneer, chili, and onions were perfect. Stuffed Mushroom Caps - I wasn't expecting it to be tangy/tart but there's a lemon/citrus blast to these. They were okay but I probably wouldn't get them again. I only ate one full cap while my family had the rest. Naans - I love naan so much. The softness, the chew, and the crispy bubbles are amaaazing. The ghee garlic naan was solid. The surprising one was the rosemary!! The herb can be quite strong but it adds a depth to your meal while eating it with the curries. It may not be for everyone since it could feel overpowering but I think it's delicious. Pani puri - Personally, I prefer the casual dip method than pouring it in but it's more aesthetic and hygienic this way! The water does have a spice kick to it and is overall just savory and tart from the tamarind. The filling is satisfying and the shells were crisp and crunchy. Mango Lassi - Thick, sweet, and creamy! A filling drink that is a big favorite of mine. 10/10 would come again with friends.

The food here was honestly mediocre. If you are craving delicious Indian food do not come here. The portions were very small. I have had better Indian food in LA. The server was also rude and unwelcoming.

1o.o7.2o23 I haven't had Indian food for years, and it's good to know one has opened up nearby. We came here for lunch and got some butter chicken curry, chicken kebab, lamb, cumin rice, truffle naan, fries, and mango lassi. I really liked the curry with naan. The fries were very fresh, and the mango lassi was my husband's favorite. It was very creamy and rich in mango. It was a pretty slow day. There was only one other table aside from ours. In my opinion, the food was on a pricier side, but that's everywhere, so it's also reasonable. I would go back again when I want some Indian dishes.

Christina N.

Yelp
Sadly will not be returning after giving this restaurant multiple visits. Food is always delicious (except the chicken wings this time, per my husband), but the portions are quite small for the price tag. Service has lacked each time we've come, despite the restaurant being empty or close to it. I really love supporting small businesses (especially ones with delicious vegan options!), but this is no longer one I can afford to support. I do wish the owners luck and hope they make it!

Update on 10/31/23: Absolutely delicious! I ordered takeout on another occasion, and the containers sealed perfectly. Everything was exceptionally fresh and delectable. I intend to return again and again! My favorite place to get Indian food!!! -- I had the pleasure of dining at this delightful Indian restaurant located on Main Street in Alhambra. I was excited to finally try this place, especially on a Friday evening around 5:30, as I was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time. Upon my arrival, I noticed that only one couple was there, and they soon left. The waitress, who was the sole waitress/server, was pleasant! I ordered the vegetarian Coconut Pumpkin Curry (made with mustard seed curry leaf coconut milk), along with garlic naan and saffron rice. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were quite generous. It made for a wonderful evening, and we didn't feel rushed at all. The only thing worth mentioning is that as more people started arriving, the waitress couldn't check on us, and I found myself needing a refill of water due to the spiciness of the dish (I can't take spicy foods heh ). However, I understand that she was the only waitress, and two large parties arrived after us. Nevertheless, this is not a big deal. One other minor issue I noticed was that the lids for the takeout containers didn't close properly. I hope they can address this in the future, but it's not a major concern. Apart from that, the food was incredibly delicious, and I'm very satisfied with the overall experience. I'll definitely be returning in the future, 100%!

I decided to grab dinner to go. Surprisingly, their Chicken Tikka Masala was excellent! I just hoped that the service was quicker and have an easier time looking for parking.

Wow I'm blown away by Delhi Belly's modern take on Indian food. Some restaurants go all out for presentation, but the food is lacking, but not here at Delhi Belly. Everything tasted as good as it looks. Highlight dishes for me were: 1. Panipuri 2. Chicken Skewers 3. Butter Chicken 4. Rosemary garlic Naan I can't wait to come back and try more things!!

Today my boyfriend and I went to try out their special lunch. $14 for a meal consisting of salad, dal, rice, and one of four choices of entrées. I thought it was very good, and preferred my boyfriend's butter chicken over my Swai fish curry. But my fish was good, too. And I did eat at all. Dessert was a homemade version of Indian rice pudding, Kheer, with a rosewater infused taste. $6. Garnished with dried rose petals and sliced almonds. Quite yummy. We also tasted the pineapple and other fruits infused beer, on tap, also yummy. Special thank you to our very kind waiter, Hav (Aka Sagar).

I really enjoyed my lunch special from Delhi Belly. It was easy to order directly through Yelp fulfilled by GrubHub. The special comes with a choice of an entree (I got the butter chicken), basmati rice, a house salad, naan bread, and a fountain soda. It's almost $18 dollars for this, which I think is on the pricey side especially because the portions were smallish. But in so far as the food itself, I was very impressed. The butter chicken was super flavorful, supple, and tasty. I really liked the freshness and bite of the salad, but it was a mere drop of greens. The rice was good and the naan was outstanding. Overall I would order again and from what I saw of the interior, the space looks very inviting with good ambiance. I wish they were a bit more generous with the protein and salad portions.

As someone who grew up eating Indian food, I usually have high standards for Indian restaurants, and let me tell you, this place met them! We got the following items: Starters: Crispy cauliflower bites: 3/5 these were tasty and well made, but I wish there was more flavoring in the batter itself. Overall good but not as amazing as the other dishes. Panipuri 4.5/5: these were very cutely presented! I loved the shot glass of pani. The Panipuri was spicy and delicious. I wish there was a little less pani and a little more filling in each, but overall we really enjoyed these. Tandoor: Paneer shashlik: 5/5 this was SPECTACULAR. I'm not usually a paneer lover, but this was so well made - perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavors and char were amazing. Mains Saag paneer: 5/5 this was delicious and much lighter than most saag paneers. It didn't have that overly creamy taste or heaviness. It was spectacular and really flavorful. Would 100% get this again. Rosemary and garlic naan: 5/5 nicely crispy with a prominent rosemary taste I really enjoyed Overall, can't wait to come back and try more dishes! This will definitely be a staple for me and my friends :)

There is a parking structure behind the restaurant. Easy to find parking. You'll see a sign for the restaurant from the back of the building but no customer entrance. You'll have to g round to the front. They have many tables for indoor dining. Went with a large group and they were very accommodating. We tried a variety of items - garlic naan, rice, sexy fries, regular fries, nutty eggplant, butter chicken, chicken saag, a lamb curry and thums up drink. Everything tasted delicious. The flavor of everything was good. The thums up tasted like Coke but was just interested in trying something out of the ordinary. The staff was friendly and helpful. Good spot for indian cuisine.

Great place! Was pretty empty when we went on a Sunday afternoon. Accommodated our large party of 10. Generally, everything is good. Would definitely recommend the fries, tandoori chicken, and most of the entrees. The butter chicken is pretty simple and clean, but it is a little sweet.

In this vibrant area of the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), where culinary delights abound, one can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer variety of restaurants. It rivals even the renowned food scene of Chicago, as the density of dining establishments here is truly impressive. Our culinary exploration began with a dish called Panipuri, a delightful creation that surpassed all expectations. Imagine a crispy semolina shell, delicately filled with spiced potatoes, each one perched atop a shot glass of zesty tamarind and refreshing cilantro water. The presentation alone was a delightful surprise, as I had never before encountered Panipuri served in such an imaginative and interactive way. As I poured a splash of tangy tamarind water into the Panipuri and popped the whole thing into my mouth, an explosion of flavors ensued. The combination of crispy, tangy, and spicy sensations was an absolute joy. Moving on to the next dish, we encountered the seductive Sexy Fries. These fries, crispy and perfectly golden, were elevated to another level with their Indian-inspired toppings. Drizzled generously with a unique house sauce and accompanied by a vibrant green chutney, each bite was an irresistible blend of familiar comfort and tantalizing exoticism. The marriage of flavors was a testament to the chef's creativity and mastery in merging culinary traditions from around the world. Our culinary journey took us further into the realm of Indian flavors with the Amritsari Fish Fries. These delectable treats showcased an impeccably crispy coating, enveloping tender pieces of fish. While I had anticipated a coconut curry sauce to accompany this dish, the surprise came in as a green chutney sauce. The chutney paired well with the succulent fish fries. Next, we indulged in the Malai Mascarpone Chicken Kebab. The chicken kebabs were expertly seasoned, offering a mild yet distinctive flavor profile. Among the highlights of our gastronomic adventure was the Coconut Pumpkin Curry. A luscious and aromatic coconut curry, it tantalized our taste buds with the fragrance of mustard seeds and the captivating essence of curry leaves. This particular curry stood out for its depth of flavor, drawing inspiration from South Indian cuisine. A word of recommendation: when perusing the menu, opt for curries that incorporate the rich creaminess of coconut milk. This infusion lends a distinctively South Indian character to the dish, setting it apart from the traditional cow's milk-based curries found in North Indian curries. Our culinary escapade culminated in the exquisite Fish Moilee, an enchanting composition featuring Fried Swai nestled in a mild and creamy coconut curry. The vibrant yellow hue, derived from turmeric, beckoned with promises of warmth and comfort. Fragrant curry leaves imparted their unmistakable aroma, weaving a spellbinding tale for the senses. Not wanting any of the delectable flavors to go to waste, I carefully gathered the leftovers and brought them home. The flavors of the curries mature with time, developing even richer and more complex flavors. I used the leftovers as a dip for my lettuce leave salad which I truly enjoyed. There were many other dishes which we did not get to try. This is a definite return to explore the rest of the menu.

I came here by myself last year and I enjoyed it. I got the lunch combo and I thought it was good, but not the best Indian food. Great ambiance and service, I hope they stay in business here.

I don't really eat Indian cuisine that often, but this was actually really good to try! They're considered to be "fusion", which is great for people like me to try this type of food! We ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikki Masala, Garlic Truffle Naan, Ghee Garlic Naan, and the Panipuri. The panipuri came out first and this was very adventurous of me LOL it came with these shot glasses with water and the item on top. We even looked it up on YouTube how to eat this lol, but I essentially you just pour the water in that ball and it's better to just eat it as a whole? Anyways, this was the messiest item to eat. I would say I liked this the least, but it was cool to try! Then came the chicken tikki masala, butter chicken, and the naans. The naans were so good just by itself! I really liked the truffle one, which was really aromatic and it paired so nicely with these dishes. After seeing how saucy these dishes looked too, we decided to get rice haha. Between the two, I think I liked the Butter Chicken one better! The flavor was all really good. The Chicken Tikki Masala was also good as well, but the chicken butter just tasted better to us too haha. The plain rice came in and I actually never tried this type of rice either, which was the very thin, long, more grainy(?) type of rice. In the end, we ended up trying the Mango Kulfi too. This was pretty good and really interesting to try! It's basically mango ice cream, and my friend described it as Melona lol. Overall, the food here was really good. This seems more of a casual restaurant joint, so it's not busy at all. I do wish the waiter could be more accommodating because we kept having to flag him down if we needed something.

I was disappointed with my service here the service wasn't the best and they took awhile to get drinks and ask for what I wanted to order and there was no one else around. the food was subpar and wasn't the best and it is more expensive than I expected I have gone to other restaurants in the area and they have great food for a less price and just wanted to try something new with Delhi belly, the experience here was just disappointing.

The food and service are excellent! Do not miss this spot! All the dishes we had were delicious and freshly made. The kitchen is open and you can see it . It is very clean and has modern, well-maintained facilities. We had naan breads, pumpkin and lamb tikka masala , cucumber & cilantro raita. The staff listen carefully to your food preferences and make foods accordingly. We will definitely visit this place many times in future and we recommend all LA foodies to do the same!

The smell of curry attracted me to come! Curries are very good! We ordered different kinds in multiple visits and all curries are tasteful. The naan is very good too, we always get the garlic truffle. Both visits we didn't see a lot of people... the service level is okay... they have happy hour $1 off beer and wine... well, hit or miss... one of the visits they were playing all bollywood songs... :D but other visits they played regular hits...

Parking! This is in a populated area so parking might make you walk a little bit but not too much. More so kn the weekend Inside: the restaurant was spacious as seen in photo. Only one waiter. WARNING: THERE ARE STROBE LIGHTS IN HERE against the wall. it was pretty distracting and I'm not epileptic but it might be too much for people prone. The food was pretty good . I don't have real complaints about the food but it was more pricier than I expected so I might not come again Hope this helps :)

So happy Delhi belly is in Alhambra! First time we wen the service was a little slow. Actually, terribly slow. But they had some sort of large party happening, so I get it. They were kind enough t to offer free drinks because they accidentally gave our food to the other table. Regardless, it was so good, it was worth the wait. Have ordered it to go since then and still been happy with the food and service.

This is a small restaurant on main st. The ambiance in the restaurant was quiet and spacious. The servers were very nice and attentive to our dinner. The menu was not as large as other Indian restaurants and had the basics. I got the pani purri which was delicious and it was served with two types. I got the lamb tikka masala and it was just okay. The meat was on the drier side but the curry itself was good. The price was reasonable and it a great place to satisfy some Indian food craving.

One of the best Indian food places in the area. Service is prompt and detailed. Ambiance is not very upscale but decent for the location and amazing for the food. They could do with some background music tho The Paneer Shashlik was really really good. Same goes for the amazing mushroom kofta. Paneer tikka masala was very good well. We were surprised with how good the food was given the other reviews and location. Worth the drive honestly if you're less than 1 hour away because other restaurants aren't half as good
