Dilli

I think the above good reviews dont speak any bit of truth. This place is a tiny roadside hotel too small and cramped, no parking. The price is unbelievably expensive for its standard. I have eaten in so many Indian restaurants in northwest and you can’t even compare, this is a miniature roadside hotel. The ambience is extremely poor. Drinks are toooooo expensive and the food is very heavily priced. They charge10./. Service tax and this is too much for the service standards. I got carried away by reading he reviews and i would never go back to this place. If you still think of trying once don’t waste your money- give it to charity. I am an Indian this restaurant is unworthy

Dilli's is frequently cited as being one of the best restaurants in Manchester - and after one bite of their food, you will quickly see why. This is contemporary Indian cooking at its best - interesting, impressive and always intriguingly spiced.

Dilli's prides itself on being an 'Ayurvedic' restaurant, meaning that theoretically, it's food should make you both healthier and wiser. This means that each dish is cut through with the kind of ingredients you'll tend to find in Indian medicine - namely lots of cloves, cinnamon and fennel. Even better, each table in the restaurant allows you to look directly in the kitchen, meaning you can see a team of chefs valiantly slaving away over a hot stove to bring you your dinner.

Every time I've dined at Dilli's, the food I've eaten there has been cooked to perfection - a particularly favourite dish of mine is their Lamb Biryani. Served up in a clay pot, you dig through layers of rice to get to mouth meltingly delicious pieces of lamb which fall apart at the merest touch of a fork.

Best of all, the staff here are always friendly, polite and more than happy to guide you through the menu and recommend you a wide array of different dishes. I love coming here with my parents or with my partner for a fun and delicious meal out.

This isn't your traditional Indian restaurant, but with so many of those around both in Manchester and beyond, that's not a bad thing. Next time you're looking for a decidedly authentic serving of Indian cuisine, you should definitely give Dilli's a try.

Modern Indian cuisine, contemporary surroundings and reasonably priced. Staff are very helpful if you at all unsure of what you may want to order. It gets really busy here so it is best to book in advance. A great place to eat out.

Dills is once of the most interesting restaurants I have eaten at in recent years. This Manchester based restaurant is the first Ayurvedic restaurant of its kind outside London. If you like authentic Indian food then you will undoubtedly love the cuisine that this place has to offer. If you have never eaten here before then I cant recommend it enough it is truly amazing. Dilli has now been operating in Manchester for over ten years not and I have often ready about them in the local paper, they seem to constantly get positive reviews. When I eat here last I had the Kadai Chooza Kali Mirch, this is simple a boneless chicken tossed in herbs and peppercorn cooked in a Wok. It was absolutely amazing. The restaurant itself has a massive variety of foods, don’t be afford to try something new, it is a little pricey but its worth it. I read in the metro the other day that during October they are offering 2-1 on the a la carte menu, this is the perfect time to try Indian food if you have ever had any doubt. The restaurant is styles very traditionally and the staff and all very polite and friendly, this is ideal for a date or a nice quite meal with friends.

This is a little gem of a contemporary indian in altrincham. I have been a couple of times and would recommend it but you should book in advance as it gets quite busy with large groups in the evening. Not for traditionalists.
