Darchini Restaurant

👍

A total disaster from start to finish. I honestly wish I could give this place zero stars. This was, without a doubt, the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. We arrived for our reservation and weren't even acknowledged for 20 minutes while the staff argued with each other in the corner. When the food finally arrived after an hour of waiting, it was practically inedible. The Lamb was 90% gristle and fat, swimming in a layer of oil so thick it was nauseating. The "fresh" pilau rice was clumped together and clearly reheated in a microwave, and the Peshwari naan was burnt to a crisp on the bottom. To top it off, the hygiene was appalling. We noticed used tissues on the floor under the next table that stayed there the entire night. When we complained about the cold food, the manager was incredibly rude and told us we were "exaggerating." I woke up the next morning with terrible food poisoning. This place should be shut down by health inspectors. Do yourself a favour and stay as far away as possible.

Extremely disappointing experience – stay away! I had high hopes for this place based on the photos, but the reality was a complete letdown. We waited over 45 minutes for our food to be served , and when they finally did, the onion bhajis were burnt on the outside and raw in the middle. For the mains, the butter chicken was incredibly bland and watery—it tasted more like tomato soup than a proper curry. To make matters worse, the garlic naan was stone-cold and as tough as cardboard. When we tried to flag down a waiter to address the issue, we were ignored for another 15 minutes. The service was dismissive and the prices are far too high for the poor quality of food served. There are plenty of better Indian restaurants in the surroundings that actually value their customers. Save your money and go somewhere else.
