This is our favorite Indian restaurant near Alhambra! Even though there is only one staff running the front, he handles everything efficiently and is incredibly friendly. The service is smooth, and the food comes out surprisingly fast. The decor is warm and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. The food is consistently delicious. Must-try dishes include the garlic truffle naan, saag paneer, samosa, chicken tikka masala, and cumin cilantro rice. Everything is flavorful and well-prepared. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. P.S. The mango drink was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Highly recommend! read more

Delhi Belly - Lunch! - Indian Near Me - Alhambra, California

Love this place! Everything we ordered was amazing. Visited with my boyfriend and we got a good variety of food for $75 with tax and had tons of leftovers. My favorite dish was the chicken korma which was very creamy. We also got the non vegetarian tandoori sampler which was amazing for the price and very filling. The only thing I would skip on next time is the paneer pakoras but I think I just wasn't the biggest fan of the dish in general since I like dishes with meat more. As for the service, it was amazing! No complaints on anything honestly. Our server was super nice and checked up on us often. The indoor interior is beautiful and is perfect for date night or just eating with family. read more

Yummy indian food located on Main Street! Came here with a group of friends! We got a table right away. I ordered the chicken saag (spinach sauce) and my husband got the paneer tikka masala! For the table we shared panipuri, garlic naan, and saffron rice. It was my first time having panipuri and it was delicious! I personally liked the red sauce more than the green sauce. The green sauce was a bit too sour for me. The chicken saag was delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy. I also really liked the paneer tikka masala. The paneer did not have a rubbery texture which sometimes it does at other restaurants and the tikka masala was so flavorful. I would get the paneer tikka masala again! The garlic naan came with a pretty large portion. It took a while for the food to come out.l from when we first placed our order. Overall the food was delicious. read more

The restaurant's name "might" not have been the best option to go with, but the quality of the food here is fantastic. I found the service to be satisfactory - for the most part, we were left alone except when we signaled the staff for our needs. The dining are and restroom were acceptably clean. Free parking is available in the public multi-story structure on the same block. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch. They have a lunch special starting at $16. It includes a choice of protein, basmati rice, naan and a soda. We both had the chicken tikka masala. It was good (although I think it could have more cream in the sauce.). Nevertheless it was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was nice and clean. I would be coming back soon to try other dishes. read more

Delhi Belly - Good Food - Indian Near Me - Alhambra, California

The food flavors here are solid (though perhaps a bit heavy on the salt). We shared pani puri, chicken tikka masala, and lamb dum biryani. The pani puri was quite salty, particularly the onion chutney. The tamarind chutney was tasty. The lamb dum biryani was well balanced and flavorful. As mentioned in another review, the dum makes for great dipping in the tikka masala sauce. I also enjoyed the tikka masala; flavorful and nicely seasoned. It was great that they served raita on the side; it really helped to balance and mellow the other flavors. The portions were very generous for the price. Server was also friendly although food did take a while to come out (maybe 20 minutes). It's a nice date spot that can be casual or a little dressy depending on what you're feeling. All-in-all, I would come here again. read more

Oh, Delhi Belly, you've been on my list for YEARS - every time I walk by Main St, to be precise, which is easily over a dozen times a year. I finally stopped by with a friend, and we enjoyed their garlic naan, basmati rice, lamb vindaloo and chicken tikka masala - both spicy. Our server asked us how spicy; of course, we went for spicy. Now, he didn't hold back... he double-checked just to make sure. This would be a 7-8 out of 10. But we can handle spice, no problem! Meanwhile, we enjoyed the dimly lit, calm, and relaxing interior. There was a good number of decor, but it wasn't distracting. What's nice was on quiet weekday nights, there isn't much noise, and you can genuinely enjoy conversations. Once our entrees arrived, we agreed that they were remarkable. The meats? Tender. The base? Tasted tomato based, creamy, and flavorful. At first, we were worried about quantity, but if there's one thing that I've learned about Indian food... the tummy will be stuffed! A few bites later, wowee, that is SPICY! The bitter definitely came out, but after a few bites of sensory adaption, enjoying both entrees' sweetness was easier. The rice was shortly finished, and the naan? Gone in minutes. At the end of the meal, we ended up taking small amounts of leftovers, so there was definitely more than enough to satisfy the tummies. read more

Delhi Belly - Lamb Vindaloo (spicy), Chicken Tikka Masala (spicy), Garlic Naan, Basmati Rice - Indian Near Me - Alhambra, California

Delhi Belly is situated on the Main Street in Alhambra. There's the parking structure close by that's free parking. Clean spot with a few TVs and an open kitchen concept to see through. Our server was nice but more relaxed and we needed to flag her down a handful of times. Food took a bit to come out even with being the only table there. Still, the food was delicious. Panipuri - pretty large and beautiful presentation! It was an exercise getting it all in one bite but the shot was the perfect amount to fit in the puff. The potato mixture was nicely spiced and overall the bite was really delicious with different flavors and textures. Signature butter chicken - my go-to and this one was tasty - very creamy, tender chicken (dark meat). We did ask for extra spicy and it came out mild is our only critique. Cream cheese chili naan - so savory and cheesy! We really liked this take on naan and the ratios of cream cheese and chili were perfect. Lamb dumplings briyani - this was probably why food took a minute but this dish is worth it. The lamb is baked with a naan covering and come out piping hot. Inside is a little treasure trove of rice and tender lamb. The bread itself doesn't have a ton of flavor but it was actually perfect dipping with the butter chicken. Overall a great experience and looking forward to coming back! read more

I like the comfortable ambiance of this restaurant - my group and I chatted for a long time over dinner! Service was nice and answered our questions effectively. I do like how the curry dishes are garnished to be more distinguishable (flowers on the tikka masalas and the ginger on the vindaloo). It's a very smart choice! The tikka masalas are classic dishes that you can't go wrong with. I recommend the vindaloo to those who like spicy food. Unfortunately, my spice tolerance wasn't high enough to truly appreciate it, but my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed it! The mimosa felt like it had more champagne than orange juice in my opinion, and the sexy fries were okay. The house sauce and mint chutney were flavorful, but it's not a dish I would order every time. I do also wish that the food was less expensive, but it was a good dining experience nonetheless. read more

Really enjoyed having lunch here. We got the lamb tikka appetizer plate and chicken tikka masala lunch special. Some of the pieces of lamb were a little bit tough and dry, but the other pieces were nice and juicy and tender. Another part of the restaurant that I really appreciated was the interior decor. From the outside it looks just like any of the other restaurants on Main Street, but on the inside it's beautifully appointed with well thought out lighting and a very aesthetically pleasing theme. All in all, a great place for solid Indian cuisine. read more

As a personal chef and someone who has spent 8 years in hospitality I can be pretty picky about food, ambience and service. Delhi Belly checks all the boxes. Never had a bad experience. Every employee is kind and genuinely wants you to enjoy your experience. I've been a handful of times but this last time was more elevated. New decor and the plating was absolutely stunning. This is one of the places that makes me feel welcomed and truly love this community. Now having said all that... If you need a restaurant that has a variety of dietary restrictions, vibrant flavor and enough space for a large group come here. Everyone will be delighted and satisfied read more

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. read more

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. read more

Got Uber Eats take out tonight for butter chicken and lamb vindaloo and butter chicken had large pieces of tender chicken and delicious sauce. Heads up for Spicy and non spicy lovers- if you love spicy and looking for heat get the Lamb vindaloo. If you don't eat spicy do not get it! Their version here is not just regular spicy but REALLY spicy. I wish Uber eats menu had a spicy note next to the item but it did not. I went in having this dish before at other places but didn't expect this level of spice and I love spicy and can tolerate it pretty well. It spicy enough where I can't eat anymore after a few pieces, sweaty, throat burning... it also has a tangy flavor to it that I personally am not a fan of. I'll stick to the other curries next time! But stick with butter chicken and you'll be satisfied. read more

Delhi Belly - Lamb vindaloo and butter chicken. (Both already partially eaten we were so hungry!) - Indian Near Me - Alhambra, California

I love this place. My husband and I frequent this Indian Restaurant, about once every two months. There is nothing we have tried that we didn't like we also introduce this to our friends and family and it's always a hit. The food is 10/10, the service is great now (old waitress would forget items, but she was friendly), and they play music and tv while you dine so I would say the ambiance is great as well. It's casual, well lit, and colorful. The restrooms are clean (which nowadays is not the standard). Btw my husband and I have tried many Indian restaurants around Los Angeles and this is still our favorite. read more

Delicious Indian food, my wife doesn't like Indian food so I can only come when she's busy and I have time, but usually this is my go to for lunch.

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! read more

#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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I have been to many Indian restaurants/market eateries locally and this is my new favorite. It is conveniently located in downtown Alhambra and the perfect spot after a movie across the street. The dinner menu portions are amazing especially the protein to curry ratio. Most places are cheap with the amount of protein however Delhi Belly easily feeds two with one order and all sides can be shared easily also. They also have a $16 lunch special that comes in metal trays and once again it's a great deal. Everytime I have eaten here I have had to take my leftovers home. Classics such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Buttered Chicken and the Chicken Korma are amazing. And the staff are so pleasant. I really love this place and the music they play is definitely a great vibe. This will be my only spot from now on Thank you Delhi Belly! read more
