Read moreHad high hopes for this restaurant as it came highly recommended, but it was a disappointment from start to finish. The food wasn’t great, the spicy papadam was just a plain papadam sprinkled with onion and tomato, making it go soft instead of crispy, the lamb keema lacked texture and taste, the salmon had a funny smell and tasted off, and the prawn biriani had 3 prawns in it, and nothing else, it was basically a large bowl of spicy rice with no vegetable curry accompaniment. There was no option to have any sides with your meal, instead we were advised to buy a main course as a side ‘and take the rest home in a box’ which wasn’t particularly helpful. Was also served a flat glass of Prosecco in a wine glass, which although soon rectified, was still overcharged for when the bill came. Mystified by all the 5 star reviews to be honest and we are being generous giving 3 stars. There were only 2 other tables in there for a Saturday night and lacked atmosphere. Based on this experience, we are unlikely to ever return, but wish them well for the future and hope...
Read moreA True Delight for North Indian Cuisine Lovers! I had the pleasure of dining at Delight India Restaurant, and I must say, it’s an experience I’ll never forget! The North Indian food here is nothing short of exceptional. Each dish is bursting with authentic flavors and prepared with the perfect blend of spices.
A special mention to the chef – their culinary skills truly shine through. From the buttery naan to the perfectly cooked dal makhani, every bite was a testament to the chef’s passion for North Indian cuisine. The kebabs were tender and flavorful, and the curries were rich and aromatic. You can truly taste the love and expertise that went into creating each dish.
The service was friendly and attentive, making the entire dining experience a memorable one. I highly recommend Delight India for anyone craving authentic North Indian food, and I’m already looking forward to...
