Delhi Darbar Indian Restaurant Saigon — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

This one’s tough. We went in the morning a few days ago and had an excellent experience. We tried the veg samosas, aloo paratha, and chai. The waiter was nice, asked if we wanted our food spicy, which I thought was odd as these are dishes you wouldn’t consider spicy, but we said “sure”. Why not? The bread and samosas weren’t spicy, but they were delicious (as was the tea). The samosa filling has toasted cumin seed, which I really liked. The green sauce served with the food was excellent, (the waiter actually brought us more), but the red sauce was basically ketchup (not good). Regardless, the experience was so good, we decided to go back two days later.

They open at 10:30AM and we got there at 10:38. There was a lady still mopping the floor. We ordered the same items, the waiter went back and the cook looked concerned. I think he said they only had chai ready, so the waiter tells us they just opened and needed time to prepare. I asked how long and he said, “20 minutes.” We said ok and waited. After about 15 minutes, the lady comes out of the kitchen and leaves a cup of chai as an offering on their altar. I think, well maybe it’s coffee? A few minutes later, the chef comes out with two cups of chai that he and the waiter are drinking behind the desk. Now it’s 35 minutes and we still have no food, no tea, nothing. So I get up and tell the waiter, it’s been 30 minutes. He goes into the kitchen and the chef says we can give them chai, and the waiter closes the kitchen door, we waited a few minutes and walk out.

These two experiences are like night and day. If the food would take time, they could have at least brought the tea while we waited, instead of giving it to the god and sitting there drinking it themselves. Totally unacceptable and...

Five stars truly aren’t enough to express how impressed I am with this restaurant. After spending five days in Vietnam, I was craving authentic, comforting Indian food — and this place delivered far beyond my expectations. The flavors took me straight back home. Every dish was prepared with such care, perfectly spiced, and felt just like a home-cooked meal.

What makes the experience even more special is the warmth of the people here. The staff and the owner were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to meet and interact with fellow Indians. It felt more like visiting a family friend’s house than a commercial restaurant.

If you’re missing the taste of real Indian food while in Vietnam, or simply want to enjoy delicious Indian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. I left feeling satisfied, comforted, and grateful — and I’ll...

If you’re craving authentic Indian cuisine in Vietnam, Delhi Darbar is the place to be! From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting ambiance made us feel at home. The menu offers a great variety of North and South Indian dishes, all prepared with rich flavors and aromatic spices.

We tried their paneer butter masala, dal tadka, and garlic naan, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The paneer was fresh and creamy, the dal had the perfect blend of spices, and the naan was soft yet crispy. Their masala chai was the perfect way to end the meal!

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great dining experience. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, Delhi Darbar is a must-visit for anyone who loves Indian food. Highly...
