Delhi Darbar — Restaurant in Ulaanbaatar

My girlfriend and I eat here regularly, sometimes up to three times a week.

The dishes we order are always fantastic. We mostly have chicken or beef saag, madras, or jalfrezi. We also have jeera rice and garlic naan. The tarka daal is also tasty.

The garlic naan is genuinely first class and I highly recommend it. Also extremely tasty are the onion and chicken pakoras.

The staff are generally very good. They speak English to varying degrees but always enough to understand our orders.

There are three Indian-style lounge tents with curtains which are great if they're available. There's additional seating on the third floor which has more of a bar vibe than the restaurant on the second floor, which can be good depending on what mood you're in.

They also deliver and the food has always arrived hot.

I enthusiastically recommend...

Good food and nice atmosphere. Close to the city centre, so getting there was easy. The place is not very big, so the tables were too close, like chairs blocking each other close, at least where me and my friend sat. The waiting staff didn't show exemplary skills or anything, just a normal bunch of guys without much care for customer experience. Apart from these 2 small complaints, everything else was good, especially the food. We tried the beef curry and kebab slices and both satisfied our taste buds. Not a cheap place for locals, but the prices meet...

Used to be quite good a few years back. But kind of fell of in recent years, especially the non curry options like the lamb chops which literally had a popular cheap chili sauce sold in stores poured all over (I could taste it because I have the same sauce in my house) and the supposed "butter" naan tasted like plain naan with just a neutral tasting vegetable oil brushed on top. Kind of disappointing especially if you had genuine Indian food before. Wouldn't...
