Will never recommend here tried frst time alu Gobi and plain nan Gobi was like just two pieces and all potatoes and Nan was so thick and burnt

November 13, 2024

Got a delivery of my food. Aloo tikki burger and Rajma chawal. I received the order within 5 mins after Uber picked up the order. Burger buns were so moist that it broke down completely. It did not taste good at all. Rajma Chawal also did not taste good at all. They used canned beans which did not appear to be cooked properly. Disappointed with my food. Don’t think going to try again.

Don’t even make a mistake ordering here!! Worst tandoori chicken i ever had . Just wasted 18$

August 27, 2024

Want to give 0 star but can’t post without that so giving 1. Really Disappointed with my order. It was advertised as Delhi’s famous momos with chicken and veggies. They GAVE FROZEN momos that you can buy from superstore with liquified mayonnaise (really felt like they added few drops of mayo in water) and a chutney with was also fairly liquid. Really unhappy and never going here again

Very bad experience this was my first time order with dilli darbar . I ordered butter naan but it’s wrost aven I garbage all the stuff

April 17, 2024

First experience was not good . I know it’s very struggling to setup a business but hygiene and cleanliness is most important in a restaurant I ordered samosa it was not fresh . I had to throw it. Sorry for negative comment but you must think about it to run your business

My wife ordered Chicken Kadai and Chicken Tandoori today using Uber Eats. I read your reply to wife's review and I am very shocked! I understand running a business is very tough. However, it's not about the food or money you are making. It's about your behaviour and the way you spoke to my wife. She is not saying she is a female and got small portion, but she said you don't have the manners to talk to a female customer. Again, it's about your behaviour and the way you're treating your customers. You're running a restaurant and you just can't say "I don't care" to your customers. I am hoping some day you will learn how to deal with the customers like a professional restaurant owner. Just sharing the photo of the food that we were talking about, so that everyone knows how you're deceiving your customers. Note, none of us asked for free food from you. Just work on your behaviour.

Had the chicken Biryani, butter chicken and paneer tikka. All of them tasted excellent and would definitely go back again. Since the food is cooked fresh, there was a bit of a delay and I will just order ahead next time.

I even don t want to give them 1 star . The food was so awful and disgusting

The food is excellent. Second time getting take out. The menu is small, but awesome. We had a couple of curries (Kadai Chicken; Chicken Tikka Masala), naan and jeera rice. It is a one-person operation, so order in advance and give it some time. But the food is worth it, for sure. We will be back.

This place is a hidden gem. First time ordered momos from them. They were so delicious that me and my wife couldnt resist and had to go back and grab more. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

★★★★★
December 22, 2023

We had momos and it was very nice. Only issue is that it takes a lot of time to prepare so its better to always pre-order before going. Will definitely try other items from the menu.

MoMos are good than rest place of the place . We ordered MoMos and chowmein without the chat masala. Loved it as it was the first place where we were satisfied. Recommend to try MoMos and chowmein from here. There no dine in place so you have to take out . Owner is super polite and nice friendly man

I order yesterday night . My experience with restaurants was so poor and owner was so disrespectful . I told him, you charge a lot for food and used all expiry stuff . The odour of butter chicken and chicken tikka was so bad . And naan was frozen i think he pick it from no frills and charge $3.50 per naan. So not recommended. Dont waste your money here. Thank you

Unprofessional customer service, doesn t know how to serve people at their store. However, food was ok.

December 22, 2023

I ordered Kadai Chicken and Chicken Tandoori from here today through Uber Eats. I was so disappointed when the order came as Chicken Tandoori was a piece of small chicken leg cut into 4 pieces for the price of $17.99+taxes. I called the restaurant and spoke with an employee and he told me he will speak with the cook and call me back in 5 mins. He called back saying it is indeed 4 pieces but had thigh piece too - which is absolutely false. I expressed I am disappointed with the amount they give for $17.99 and had I known this I would not have ordered from them. He requested me to speak with the owner. The owner called me and he was downright disrespectful and arrogant. At one point, he said he doesnt care about customers and dont care about customer reviews when I told him he was being arrogant and rude with me and I would leave a review. He is absolutely lacks manners on how to speak with females in general and was boasting about being arrogant. If you are in the food industry and directly treating your customers like that then not sure how you will run this restaurant.

December 22, 2023

It s not a restaurant it s a convenience store. Food quality is very low and don t have the taste even. Do not waste your time and money to visit this place.

December 22, 2023

Most of these bad reviews must be competitor bots or complete nobs because neither I nor my wife have anything bad to say about this spot. He can be slow and it is a convenience store but the food is fresh, delicious and good portions. Definitely not too salty or spicey for Indian. He is polite enough for a busy guy, he even helped my wife carry out the food. I have no idea what these 1 star guys are smoking.

December 22, 2023

I had a terrible experience with Dilli Darbar and would not recommend this place to anyone. The curry of shahi paneer was just not curry at all..... it was just of bowl of water with paneer in it . The naans were not properly cooked and were not actually naans. Everything was just not eatable but only garbage .

Have been getting curry from this place for months now. Its our go to place for curry. The curries are authentic made from scratch, have tried most of the menu but their butter chicken, Afghani Chicken and Kadai Chicken are our favorites. Also love the Jeera rice! Naan bread is soft and moist, while not made in a tandoori oven its awesome. Highly recommend but call and place your order to schedule a pick, it takes time to make curries from scratch!

10 on 10! We ordered steamed momos and egg rolls.They were exceptionally great in taste. And you would not regret grabbing a cup of mango lassi here. It feels like the mangoes are freshly crushed and made. Loved everything. Gonna visit atleast twice a week. Keep growing guys.

Food was very salty and spicy , when we put this to the owners attention the employee replying and saying i am eating the same and i feel good . I dont think this is the way to talk. We are asking something to be done about the food and also he replies and says, now what i can do? He didnt feel like apologizing , very unprofessional behaviour

I ordered food through the restaurant and there was a promotion for free lassi and it was packed with an open lid and was spilling when arrived food quality is good but its the packing for take out as no one packs a drink with an open lid inside a case. Something to keep in mind while we support local businesses
