Dilli-6

Wow! Taste of authentic Punjabi flavors right here in Kirkland! This used to be turmeric kitchen, which we really liked. The new owner promised that he’ll be bringing in true Punjabi flavors that we won’t need to head to Surrey anymore, and i must say they have delivered! The appetizers are fresh and super tasty, soy chap was creamy with very nice smoky flavors. The dahi sholay just melted in the mouth. Crispy Kachori was a surprise, as unlike stuffed kachori it’s more like mathari with pea protein. The Chole kulche and bhature were fresh, buttery and yummy! Just looking at them we left the phone aside and forgot to take any pictures. The desserts are also out of the world. We tried the shahi tukda and the falooda, both were super delicious and were a nice shared dessert for the table. Overall, we are very excited to have Dilli-6 in our awesome neighborhood and can’t wait to go back to try their other dishes! 100% authentic flavors and kudos to Dinesh for meeting the high expectations he had set for us.

We tried the Cholle Bhature, Ram Ladoo, Shikanji, and Aam Panna Mojito and everything was delicious! The Cholle Bhature and Shikanji stood out as absolute favorites. The Bhature were light and not greasy like many other places, and the Cholle had an authentic Punjabi flavor - truly the best I’ve had in the Greater Seattle area. The ambience is fresh, clean, and vibrant, with a welcoming aroma and tasteful background music that enhances the experience. I’m definitely coming back to explore more of the menu!

This is authentic Punjabi restaurant and every dish was so flavorful. Eating at this restaurant is like attending a wedding where you would eat all hand picked delicious dishes. I have been living in Seattle for more than 3 years and no other restaurant has come any closer to this one when you looking for Punjabi style food.

A vibrant mix of flavors that showcases the richness and variety of North Indian cuisine. From street-style treats to soul-soothing comfort food, every dish hit the mark. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is newly opened. We called for - Soya Chaap - Paneer Tikka - Dahi Bhalle - Chole Bhature The food tasted good especially the starters and the chat. I wouldn’t call for chole bhature since the masala was high for my liking. Overall, good food! However, the price was high for the quantity served.

Exquisite food with truly authentic Indian flavors that beautifully capture the vibrant essence of Delhi. We indulged in a delightful spread featuring soya chaap, kachori chaat, dahi ke sholey, aam panna mojito, and the iconic daulat ki chaat—each dish a celebration of taste and texture. The presentation was impeccable, the service warm and attentive, and the food—absolutely top-notch. A well-deserved 10/10 across the board.

Everything was great, excellent suggestions from the server. Definitely will come back for trying some other dishes.

Authentic Punjabi food at its finest- we’re so glad we decided to try this place. They’ve recently opened and are currently in their soft launch phase, so the menu is somewhat limited, but everything we ordered was packed with flavor. The malai soya chaap and murgh malai seekh were both juicy and full of rich, creamy spices. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the mint sauce it came with was a great complement. The chole served with the chole kulcha was absolutely mouthwatering-one of the highlights of the meal. We also loved the saag chicken and kadhi chawal-both authentic and deeply flavorful. Drinks were well-made, and the portion sizes for the mains were generous. Service was mostly good, though there were a few small misses like forgetting serving spoons, knives for starters and not clearing plates promptly. That said, the overall experience was excellent. The owner/manager was friendly and genuinely interested in feedback. We’ll definitely be back!

Food, service & Ambience was good!!!! Deserts were amazing!!! Especially Daulat ki chat. Would like to go back again!!!!

Made a reservation for Sunday dinner at 6:30pm but had to go sooner and they accommodated the request. Ambiance: The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that blends traditional Indian decor with modern touches. It's cozy yet vibrant--perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. We had decided to try mainly the appetizers and so we ordered accordingly. Food Highlights: Khajur ki chutney wale golgappe- the server mentioned its not the traditional pani puri. We ordered after reading the description it was full of flavors ,I felt it was a mix of sev and dahi puri. Makkhan Murgh Malai Seekh- it was moist and rich in flavor. Hakka Noodles- had a mix of crispy fried noodles and noodles which were amazing. The portion sizes are smaller but they are flavorful. The menu is extensive, offering everything from classic curries to fusion snacks. Drinks-Aam panna mojito was not up to my expectations I felt it was more of ice and less flavors. Mango lassi was rich. Desserts- I wanted to try Daulat ki Chaat. It was light and felt like eating the foam. The foam had melted and was watery at the bottom. I felt it could be more stiffer and chilled. I liked it as it was very light and I did not feel overloaded. Service: Staff was attentive and friendly . The service is prompt and welcoming. If you're looking to celebrate something or just indulge in a flavorful escape, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

My friends and I walked in, got seated right away and within minutes the place started filling up.. clearly word is getting around. It's fairly a new restaurant and seems like off to a great start! We started with the makhhan Murgh Malai Seekh and it was easily the highlight of my meal.. so well cooked, tender and very flavorful. Then we had Chicken Afghani Momo. It's not your traditional momo but it was rich, creamy and absolutely delicious. The only dish that fell short was the Chicken Mughlai Korma.. it needed a bit more salt and the flavors weren't as yummy as I expected. To balance it, Shikanji was so refreshing! So overall good service, good ambiance and a menu with some unique options. I see myself going back!

Dilli-6 took over the restaurant space vacated by The Turmeric Kitchen. The restaurant basically migrated from Bengali food to Delhi food, hence the 'Dilli' name; they call themselves "unapologetically Desi". We were indeed the only non-Desi customers. The general layout of the restaurant is the same with different wall décor and different bar area. The inside is fairly loud and just as dimly lit with little rechargeable table lamps for mood/ambience lightning. We (2) walked in without reservations at 8:30pm on a Saturday night. The hostess (possibly owner) did the song and dance of "let me check the reservations to see what table is available" while I eye more than half the restaurant space is empty. I hate that kind of posturing. Anyway, surprise, they can sit us right away. Insert eyeroll emoji. When taking our order, our server noted hubby's less-spicy (2 stars) request, while I can handle spicy (4 to 5 stars). Because of my comment about spiciness, the server recommended two non-veg dishes. I opted to add one instead of replacing what I already chose. When the food arrived, neither of the two spicy dishes were in fact spicy. I should have said something sooner. I thought I might get an after-kick. Nope, not spicy. When I brought it up to the server's attention, he just said I must have some super spicy tolerance and walked away. No, I am pretty sure the kitchen toned down all dishes instead of only one dish. Sigh. Their prices are quite a bit higher for less food. They are still tweaking the menu. The receipt's prices are tens of cents higher than menu prices. See both photos. It feels like fraud. The Food: Mutton Keema Chop, $17 menu vs $17.68 receipt - 4 Stars Menu: Goat keema chop fried in desi ghee I didn't realize the meat is literally chopped, as in nearly ground meat. (I had chop as in an American pork chop in mind which is one whole piece.) I don't typically like the texture of grounded meats, but the seasonings and the chutney made this chopped dish tasty and worthwhile. There is a slight kick to the sauce. This dish was a pleasant surprise and would order again. Dilli Butter Chicken, $23 menu vs $23.92 receipt - 4 Stars Menu: Butter chicken from the kitchens wehre it was invented This was hubby's "mild" requested dish. This dish is served with them pouring the sauce in front of you, so you can see the bottom of the bowl doesn't have a lot of meat. Nonetheless, the dish is well prepared and tasty. The price is definitely higher than other places. Mughlai Chicken Korma, $23 menu vs $23.92 receipt - 2.5 Stars Menu: Old Delhi famous chicken korma This is supposed to be spicy. It most definitely is not. It is also quite oily. Without the spiciness, the dish tastes incomplete. I tasted the oil more than I tasted the seasonings. I took the majority home to be modified, including draining oil and adding spices. This $23.92 dish has only one chicken hindquarter. That is a lot of money for one skinny hindquarter. Bhogal Ke Choley Bhaturey, $22 menu vs $22.88 receipt - 2 Stars Menus: Famous choley bhaturey of Bhogal market Junpura Delhi This is the additional dish I ordered per the server's recommendation. Again, it was not spicy. I was very underwhelmed by this dish. Oil is once again pooling at the top (you can see in the photo). Chickpeas are presumably slow-cooked in the style of the Bhogal night market seasoning. Without the spiciness, I don't know what am I tasting other than the oil. The breads are fried, and they arrived big and puffy. I tasted some of this dish but took most home to be modified. Choor Choor Naan, $8 menu vs $8.32 receipt - 4 Stars Flaky and crispy hand crushed naan. It really is quite good! It is crispier than the typically plain naan. Steamed rice, $5 menu vs $5.20 receipt - 2.5 Stars Unlike most Indian restaurants in the area, none of their dishes comes with rice. This is plain white basmati rice. The rating denotes the fact that I even have to pay for rice considering the cost of each dish. One order is enough for the two of us.

We had a reservation for 6:45 PM and arrived at 6:30 PM. We were seated right away. Since it was their soft opening, we expected that a few menu items might not be available--and that was totally understandable. To start, we ordered the Ram Ladoo and Golgappe. The Ram Ladoo arrived hot and tasted very authentic. Major kudos to the chef for the fantastic chutney on the side--it was flavorful and complemented the dish beautifully. Personally, I would've liked a bit more heat, but that's just my preference. The Golgappe were great too--crisp and refreshing. For the main course, we went with Chole Bhature, Paneer Makhani, and Butter Naan. In the past, I had to cross the border into Canada to satisfy a solid chole bhature craving, but this easily tops my list of places nearby. The flavors were spot on. The paneer in the makhani had a subtle smoky aroma--likely from the tandoor--which added depth. The rich, buttery gravy was smooth and indulgent. The naan was fresh and served straight from the tandoor--soft with just the right amount of char. Even though we were quite full by then, no meal feels complete without dessert. The Shahi Tukda wasn't available, so we opted for the Daulat ki Chaat. It was light, airy, and perfectly whipped malai with delicate notes of almond and saffron. Throughout the evening, dishes were coming out of the kitchen quickly, and the service was great. The staff--and even the owner--were warm, welcoming, and eager to hear feedback.

This is likely the most authentic desi food I have had in a while, we tried dilli 6 chicken, shami kebab (dum pukht vibes), bhuna mutton and chat options. I rate this place highly and will be returning!! Beats going to Vancouver for good desi food

Made a reservation for a family night out during soft opening. Great ambience ,great food and great service. We ordered dahi ke shole, murg kebabs, chole-kulche, butter chicken-naan, santra tharra and masala soda. Our fav were the butter chicken & chole kulcha. Both naan and kulcha were out of the world so fresh, crispy and flaky. Chole really reminded of Delhi and Butter chicken almost similar to what you get at Pandara road in Delhi. The owners have really brought taste of Delhi to our backyard. The best part is their friendly server, fast service and warm and welcoming owner. Great Job Dilli 6 and keep it up !!

Excellent food! Service and ambience was wonderful. IMO, a must visit for anyone looking to get Indian food in Seattle.

This is by far the best Indian food our family has had a pleasure to experience. We tasted the Malai Soya Chaap, Dahi Ke Sholey, Kachori Chaat, Shaami Kebabs, Chicken Changezi, and Falooda. All these reminded us from our days in India. Their service was also courteous and pleasant. We will be back to get a taste of other items that they offer. Highly recommended to everyone who appreciate the actual taste of India.

had a wonderful experience dining here! The food was exceptional--every dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and presented beautifully. You can tell the ingredients were fresh and the kitchen put real care into crafting each plate. From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious and satisfying. Equally impressive was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal, offered thoughtful recommendations, and checked in just the right amount without being intrusive. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience. Great ambiance, outstanding food, and top-notch service. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to others.

Dilli-6 special chicken - hands down is the best chicken you can find in Washington area. You should literally skip a food-trip to Surrey BC and instead try out this place. 10/10 for ambience, service and taste

Service and restaurant ambience was excellent. Aloo paratha and kachori chaat were not good but rest of the food which included golgappe, channa batura, momo soup and naan were excellent. They need to do some more work on bringing authentic Dilli 6 taste but great start.
