Why go
Dhilli is a practical modern Indian choice inside The Oberoi for diners who want hotel polish and low-friction planning in central Delhi. Lunch is the easier move for business or family plans; dinner is better when the room and setting matter. For a first-time Delhi destination meal, compare it with Bukhara or Indian Accent before deciding.
About Dhilli
Dhilli is a Modern Indian restaurant in Delhi. It serves lunch from 12:30–3 PM daily, dinner from 7–11 PM Monday through Thursday, dinner from 7–11:30 PM Friday through Sunday. The dress code is smart casual, so plan for a neat lunch or dinner outfit.
Use it for a modern Indian meal in Delhi
Dhilli is most useful when the brief is direct: Modern Indian food in Delhi with both lunch and dinner service. That makes it a practical candidate when the group already knows the cuisine it wants and simply needs to fit the meal into the day. If the group wants to compare it with other dining options, Bukhara, Bukhara, Indian Accent are natural reference points, depending on the style of meal the group has in mind.
Lunch is available daily from 12:30–3 PM, a compact window that works best when the midday plan is intentional rather than open-ended. Dinner runs from 7–11 PM Monday through Thursday and until 11:30 PM Friday through Sunday, giving the end of the week more time for later plans. Price, menu format, chef details, beverage-program information are not detailed, so plan around the cuisine, hours, smart-casual dress code. For broader planning, see the full Delhi restaurants guide.
Who should choose it over the Delhi alternatives
Choose Dhilli when you want Modern Indian dining in Delhi and the listed hours fit your schedule. The daily lunch window makes it viable for midday plans throughout the week, while the later Friday-to-Sunday dinner closing gives more flexibility at the end of the week. It is especially straightforward for diners who are not trying to solve for a highly specific format and instead want a Modern Indian option with clearly stated meal periods.
Consider other dining rooms if you are looking for a specific format, price point, chef-led tasting menu, or particular signature dishes, as those details are not provided for Dhilli. If the occasion depends on these specific details, compare further before booking. Bukhara and Indian Accent may be useful comparisons for diners deciding among restaurants, while Dhilli should be considered for its basics: Modern Indian cuisine, daily lunch and dinner hours, smart-casual dress. If those basics match the occasion, the decision can stay simple; if the occasion depends on more granular information, compare further before booking.
For broader planning, compare it with 360° if the group wants another restaurant option, or use the Delhi hotels guide to plan the rest of the trip.

Where to go if Dhilli is not the right fit
Choose Bukhara if the priority is a high-recognition Delhi meal with stronger visitor appeal. Choose Indian Accent if the group wants a more formal contemporary Indian experience and is willing to plan further ahead.
For a broader hotel-restaurant option, 360° is the easier cross-shop. If the group wants to avoid another Indian meal, Baoshuan or La Croute are the cleaner pivots.
Restaurant context
How Dhilli compares in Delhi
Dhilli is the easier, calmer modern Indian choice when the group values hotel polish and simple logistics over a destination-name meal. Bukhara is the stronger pick for visitors who want a Delhi classic with more recognition, while Indian Accent is the better cross-shop for diners prioritising a more formal contemporary Indian experience.
Against 360°, Dhilli is the more cuisine-specific call: choose it when the brief is modern Indian rather than a broad hotel-restaurant meal. Baoshuan and La Croute make more sense when the group wants a different cuisine lane altogether, especially if not everyone wants Indian food twice in one trip.
Booking difficulty is the practical separator. Dhilli is the safer choice when the plan needs to come together without a long lead time, while Bukhara and Indian Accent are the names to prioritise earlier if they are central to the trip. For value, the decision is less about low spend and more about whether the hotel setting solves a real need: business lunch, family meal, or visitor hosting.
