Cafe Delhi

Been here a few times, but the food is consistently good! We had the pakora, butter chicken and lamb vindaloo! We got it a 4 or 5 spicy, and honestly for our taste could have gone spicier! We ordered online for takeout and their ordering service is so easy to use! I liked that you could upgrade to rice & naan for an extra $1. Next time we'd like to dine there because they have a nice patio area and it seems like it would be nice to just sit and chat there!

I was hoping it would be nicer but it wasn't sadly...The food was ok but not the best in the world....And it's pretty dirty too, I visited this a few months ago so maybe some things changed. I would rate this 3/10

We had a perfectly lovely dinner. The spice level was spot on and everything was prepared perfectly.There is a nice mix of northern and southern specialties.We both had vegetarian dishes. However the meat dishes looked fantastic too.Don't let them forgetting water or beverages to you to detract from the wonderful meal!

Delicious but over priced for the size meal you are given. The portion sizes are so small carrying such a high price! Unfortunately for something pandemic like 1/2 cup of Chicken tikka Marsala to cost over $18 in a tango cup without rice?! I wish them well, and after 79 heading west is an ethnic food desert... I won't be going back, or ordering take out. I miss.. almost any Indian Resturant in Oakland.. portion size, quality, flavor, unique dishes.. none of that here. I wish my experience was better the 2nd time but it was the same.. best of luck gents!!

Wear your big boy pants and get ready to journey through flavortown.My boss and I met for lunch. He introduced me to Cafe Delhi. This is a place in my neck of the woods that I saw but never ventured. I will be back.I have had Indian before. I know the popular dishes and various curries. I decided to get what the server recommended. Both my boss and I had different goat dishes. The meat was tender like a pot roast. The meal served with fresh naan and rice hit the spot on a cold/wet day.Shout out to their wings. They were super addictive. They were very crunchy and had some spice. The staff was great, and the place was clean. I will be back :)

While staying in the Pittsburgh area a lot over the past year, I've been trying many different places... I love really good Pakistani food, and am not nearly as fond of Indian food, but I came here one night for dinner and absolutely appreciated the owner's service, as well as the food they make here! I tried several things:Vegetable Pakora - These unfortunately were sent back because they were slightly over-done, but they apologized sincerely for that and removed them from the bill.Vegetable Biryanni - Absolutely Excellent! Nice and spicy and loaded with robust, authentic flavors!! This paired with their raita was amazing!!! And wow, was it spicy!!Keema Muttar - This was decent, but was a little saucier than I prefer (and than I'm used to). The flavors were excellent! The meat was lamb and there was the slight flavor of that. But overall, it was a decent dish.Bullet Naan - I've never heard of this, so I had to try it, especially since it's made with green pepper and supposedly spicy. It was definitely spicy, but their naan was very thin. I actually prefer it thin, so I don't get filled up on bread. The only issues I've got is I eat in the traditional way, with my hands and in order to do so, you fold the naan or roti in half and then break off a piece - Well, many of these places cut it into quarters which limits ow you can break off pieces. The other huge gripe I have is that they add ghee or butter to it, thus making it a greasy mess. Aside from those issues, it tasted great.Roti - This resembled the bullet naan, but without spices, but with so much greasiness, the last slice was completely soaked and oily. The flavor was decent though.Lastly, He offered me mango lassi and I've not had lassi in probably 35 years, when I was last in Pakistan.... This lassi was very tasty and you could see and taste the fresh mango in it.Overall, this is my favorite Indian restaurant in the Pittsburgh area so far... I've tried several, but they do it the most authentic and best here. I'd definitely suggest it for those seeking some really good, authentic flavors. I'll be back!

Highly disappointed with the food.Does not deserve to be associated with Delhi.We ordered 5 different chaats and each was worse than the other. Quick service and bad experience.

Carnegie is quite a ways away from my house, but I was really craving to try a new Indian place. Cafe Delhi had some interesting menu items and some menu staples. Plus, I was curious as to what restaurants in the area served. I ended up ordering the Chana bhatura and gulab jamun.The bhatura bread was absolutely delicious. Portion was quite good. It was just oily enough to be flavorful, but not so oily that it was greasy in a bad way. There were also little crunchy pieces, as well as soft pieces. It was overall an excellent bread and something I'd recommend ordering on the side even if you don't get it with your main meal.The Chana itself was quite flavorful. It was a little bit spicy, but I could handle it. The texture was a little off for me. There seemed to be less whole chunks of chickpeas and more small pieces. Portion was pretty decent and it was overall tasty.The gulab jamun are a go to Indian dessert order for me (along with kheer). These gulab jamun balls were a little small. However, they were well made. They used an adequate amount of syrup (which is very sweet, but I could probably drink it on its own since it's so good). Not the best I've ever had, but definitely tasty.All in all, this is definitely high quality Indian food, especially for the area. There aren't too many Indian places near Carnegie, so I definitely recommend giving Cafe Delhi a try. Portions aren't as huge as they are in other places, but the flavors are there.

Needing food to complement my drink at Apis with a friend, I ordered pickup from Cafe Delhi across the street. Not feeling super hungry, and knowing that the portions would be big on a main course, thanks to another yelp review, I ordered Samosas (2 per order) and the Chicken Pepper Fry. My friend asked for 2 samosas as well, and reimbursed me. We waited a bit and then I walked over and picked up the food. It was super tasty! The main came with a choice of Rice, Naan or both and you can pick garlic or regular naan. I had the garlic naan with my samosa and both were very good. Crispy samosa with great filling and nice spice. I had my chicken fry for lunch on Friday and it was super tasty. You get a lot of rice with your meal, so keep that in mind too. I wonder if this place isn't fully known to people because it's out in Carnegie and attached to the Indian Cultural Center. It's really good though. Pickup only if you order online, FYI.

Wonderful food, and a nice outdoor seating area with a garden. Always happy there's an Indian restaurant around.
