   The appetizers were good. The aloo tikki was seasoned very lightly, could have used more salt for sure. The chicken seekh kebab was great. For mains, the chicken chettinad was like thick chicken curry and no flavor or the curry leaves-disappointment. The kadhai paneer was good. The goat cheese and cranberry naan was nice. But the food left a little to be desired. If they can season better and use spices listed a little generously they can elevate their food. The servers were great. The restaurant had a little musty smell. Do something about it, please.

   It's a cozy and friendly place. However, if you're a fan of Indian food it was way under-spiced and too Americanized for my taste. The server didn't ask about preferred spice level and I wrongly assumed the default would be standard Indian spicing rather than bland, but maybe my fault for not asking. Also the servings were smaller than what I'd have expected for the price.

   Without exception, every dining experience in groups large or small that I've had at Dehli Spice has been outstanding. The service is superb and the food delicious, alongside exceptional and inventive cocktails. First rate for eating in or takeout. Wonderful jewel in heart of Bethesda.

   Our favorite Indian restaurant, bar none. Delicious food; warm and friendly atmosphere; delightful staff who even remember your drink orders from the last visit. Haven’t had anything on the menu that isn’t superb.

   Wonderful food, especially the lamb chops and interesting appetizers. Will certainly return. One of the best Indian meals I have had in DC

    We love Delhi Spice! The food is always so fresh, the cocktails are good, and the service is friendly. It’s a true gem of a family owned restaurant in Bethesda.
