  “We had such a fabulous evening at Dillie. The food was fantastic, and our friends, who were visiting for the first time, were just as impressed as we were. The cocktails were a real highlight, as were the chicken vindaloo and dhal — although, honestly, we couldn’t fault a thing. Everything was delicious, and the whole evening was just lovely. A huge thank you to all the staff for making our birthday dinner so special, and for the lovely sparkler surprise at the end. 🥂✨ We’ll definitely be back.”

  “Absolutely wonderful birthday meal. We shared the momos, lamb skewers and grilled sampler to start, incredible flavours, all meat such high quality. Biryani or Chilli garlic chicken for a main was a stand out. Desserts all beautiful. And to top it off, their mixologist is A-star. Thank you to our server and manager, Nischal, so welcoming, attentive and talked us through each dish. So great to have a thriving independent business on the high street.”

  “Such an amazing restaurant! We have been coming at least once a year for the last 5 years. Every time I visit this restaurant, I’m so excited! Everything is top notch! The food, the presentation and the service. We tried their Dilli Delight signature cocktail and it did not disappoint! I would say this is a restaurant worthy of Michelin status.”

  “I was recommended this restaurant by a family member so I took my husband here for his birthday. We visited on a Sunday evening and all the tables were full all night. The service was great, every waiter / waitress was friendly and polite.. I think we tried all the special cocktails on the menu and they were so tasty. The food was absolutely amazing. Portion sizes were all just right and I managed to fit in pudding as well. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant!”

  “Absolutely brilliant experience! From booking the table to polishing the dessert - we had an amazing time here. Food was excellent and service from Nischal was top notch. Bishnu, the owner, paid personal attention to us and ensured we were served the kind of food we'd love. Quality of food and freshness were really good. What stands out is the sheer beauty of presentation. Will I recommend it? I guess you already have the answer. :)”

  “A symphony of flavours. By far one of the most delicious Indian restaurants I have been to. It takes a lot of confidence to have a short menu. I struggled to make my mind up. We had 5 different dishes on the table all of them were incredible. All had a nice twist to them. Prices were on the higher side but absolutely worth it. Service was welcoming and efficient but not in your face. You will not regret coming here. We will be back very soon.”

  “Very attentive staff! Delicious food - definitely several steps up from your typical Indian restaurant! But despite this, expect to pay less than £50 a head for a couple of beers, a main, rice/naan and a side! Great value for such amazing food!”

  “If you’re craving a rich, flavorful Indian dining experience, Dilli Restaurant should be at the top of your list. This fine dining spot impresses with its bold, authentic flavours and beautifully presented dishes that showcase the best of Indian cuisine. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but for the quality of food, it’s absolutely worth it. Highly recommended for a special evening out or for anyone who appreciates Indian cuisine done right.”

  “We had a wonderful, delicious meal for our anniversary. The staff made us feel so special and were very attentive even recommending dishes for us to have. The special cocktails were beautiful and great fun. Special mention to the scallop starter which was so tasty. We will absolutely be going back and would definitely recommend.”

  “We went to The Dilli Restaurant in Haslemere last Friday for an early supper. In fact, we were the first couple in the restaurant as we arrived with the serving staff! Despite being early, we were shown to our seat - the chairs are very comfortable indeed and the ambience is very calming - a classy feel in a beautiful old building. The staff were attentive and the cocktail produced was wonderfully presented, courtesy of a 'bubble gun'. The starters arrived and looked very appetising on the plate; one was the scallops and the other was the dumplings. The scallops were 'OK' but would have been better if they were 'proper' scallops rather than Queen Scallops which are smaller and were a tad rubbery. The mains were again, attractive although oddly, my fish came in a bowl, making it impractical to eat along with the rice and mixed vegetable sides. Strangely, I was provided with a large flat plate (see picture) but the fish was in the bowl. I managed to manoeuvre the fish onto the plate but of course, it broke in half. The flavours however, were excellent. Along with this dish, my friend ordered a prawn curry which was "good" but not outstanding. I would summarise by saying that this is an expensive Indian restaurant that almost hits the mark but some attention to small details would elevate it to a better rating. It would feel mean to give a '3 Star' rating but it is probably more 3.5 than a 4. Since I cannot give a 3.5, I gave the benefit of the doubt and scored a 4.. mostly because the service was impeccable. Thanks all - see you again sometime.”
