New Delhi Dharbar — Restaurant in Gauteng

Friends and I went for dinner, and decided on some Indian food for our evening out. Very quaint and authentic Indian spot with Pretty décor.  I’ve always wondered where it was situated, as I have never driven past Benmore Gardens. Now I know. They have a good selection of food to choose from, so there is a variety for any picky eaters. They brought us some “Papar” to nibble on with some Chutneys. A famous indian snack either fried or cooked made from sources such as peeled black gram flour, lentils, chickpeas, rice, tapioca, or potato.  We ordered a Veg starter Platter to share, with Tikka Paneer, Onion Bhaji, and 2 other items. I loved the taste and crunchiness of the Bhaji. My favourite. Service was pretty quick, and our food came in good timing as we were hungry. For mains, I was craving a mutton curry but couldn’t decide on which one, so I went with the traditional and ordered a Garlic & Chilli Naan, as I don’t really like rice with my curries. My friends ordered the Chicken Breyani, and the Lemongrass Fish, with naan. We all ordered medium in strength. Now, let me tell you this Mutton Curry kicked some serious butt!. It was really spicy but oh so tasty, the meat was tender and the gravy was just soo delicious. My naan also complimented it very well. The chicken breyani was also quite strong, but tasty even though i did expect something slightly different. The lemongrass fish, that’s something unique. It was completely different to what I expected. It has a nice taste, but need a bit of sauce to it. We did order desserts, but this is something that all indian restaurants fail at in my opinion. I have not gone to any indian restaurant where I have enjoyed dessert to date. I wanted Soji, and my friends had the Gulab and the Ras Malai. For me all 3 was a miss, although my friend enjoyed her Ras Malai. My soji lacked flavour and the texture was too solid. Would definitely come back for more starters and mains, decent food and good quality and...

We ordered via Uber eats . Main meals , starters etc . We have ordered the exact meals via Uber before . The restaurant is running a buy one get one free on the vegetarian samosas . The last time we ordered the same samosa special recently from the restaurant we received 8 Punjabi samosas . Today we received 4 Punjabi samosas and 4 tiny normal samosas as the “free” item. When I queried it with management they read my order to me again and said all is correct , they decided to change what they give out to customers . I have ordered from the restaurant for years and it is the first time I did not receive Punjabi samosas , instead they sent this measly small samosas as a “free” gimmick . Had I known this was what I was receiving I would not have ordered it as it is not any special at all . Buy one get one free also implies the free item is the same if not similar, yet in this case it was actually a totally disappointing excuse of a...

Title: Disappointing Experience for Vegetarians at Delhi Darbar Sandton

Review: As vegetarians, my partner and I were excited to try out Delhi Darbar Sandton for our dinner. However, our experience was far from satisfactory. We ordered the Dal Tadka, only to find chicken or lamb pieces in it, which was clearly not mentioned on the menu. Upon informing the staff, they replaced it with a new serving of Dal Tadka, but unfortunately, they took our plates with the paneer dish we had ordered, without bringing it back. Despite this error on their part, the staff showed no apologetic attitude. To add insult to injury, we were charged the full amount for the meal, despite the inconvenience caused. Overall, the lack of attention to dietary preferences, poor customer service, and failure to rectify their mistake left us thoroughly disappointed. We will not be returning to Delhi Darbar Sandton and cannot recommend it to fellow...
