Namaste by Delhi Darbar

I ordered a Namaste meal deal for £16. Chicken pakora, lamb bhuna and pilau rice. Quite why Deliveroo took 27 minutes to get it from the restaurant to my hotel is something I will take up with them. As for the food, very much a game of two halves. The chicken pakora was simply dreadful. A horrible batter and some unpleasant tasting sauce. It's a pity because the lamb bhuna was really nice and the rice accompaniment was good too. I can see why the locals rate this place but the pakora was a real let down.

We had Biryani from here and it was simply fabulous. The environment is ultra cool with old English music and full of Delhi art vibes. The service was really nice too. They even given us a complimentary masala tea and it was just breathtaking. If u love Indian dishes, this is the right place to try!!

Visited on Sunday 10th of August with my better half. We were going to have lunch in town but somehow we didnt think about eating until around 3.30pm. We went to Namaste by Delhi Darbar and while we waited to be seated i noticed that quite a few tables were occupied. We were seated to the left of the fountain near th Ganesh statue. The ordinary / pre theatre menus were given to us by a young slightly sullen waitress who didnt smile the whole time and who was constantly looking elsewhere... she left us with the menus and came back 5 minutes later asking about drinks, we ordered a diet coke (£3.50p very expensive i thought) and a half pint of soda water which came with lime which i hadnt asked for (2.50p). I let the waitress know about this and she returned with a fever tree soda. My husband ordered the chicken pakora to start and the pieces were very small, around 5 pieces with a dipping sauce which my husband said they tasted nice. I had opted for the veg samosa (x1) served on a chickpea dhal which both tasted fresh and flavoursome. For mains i had the chicken bhuna which while tasty the sauce was a little watery and my husband chose the lamb rogan josh which he enjoyed. We had pilau rice/ naan bread to share between us. We used to have the normal menu but as i get older i find that smaller portions fill me without getting uncomfortable. The pre theatre menu is £17 for 2 courses and £20 for 3 courses. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed even though it was beginning to get busier as time went on. On the whole the menu was good value and even though the diet coke was expensive we would go back. The bill did include an 11% service charge which on settling our bill the waiter did explain that this was discretionary and we could choose not to pay it but we did. The total bill was £44.40 with the service charge included.👍 Should note that

Namaste by Delhi Darbar is a fantastic spot for anyone craving rich, authentic Indian cuisine in Glasgow. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modern and traditional, and the service is warm and attentive without being overbearing. I tried the butter chicken and garlic naan — both were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The menu offers a great variety, from classic curries to exciting street food-style dishes. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything feels thoughtfully prepared. Easily one of my top Indian dining experiences in the city. Highly recommend!

I find the bill with intent to mislead. There is no total for the food I ordered. The big bold figure after all the items did not mention service charge included. Instead, I have to use the small print to work out the service charge and subtract myself to work out how much in total is my actual bill. I have added further service charge on top of the big bold figure in the past when I visited this restaurant because it didn’t mention service charge included CLEARLY nor mention it is optional. This is the first restaurant I seen management doing that hence I find it misleading and dishonest. Very disappointed. My bill is £81. There is no part on the bill show £81. Disappointed with the service and staffs seem unfriendly, unwelcoming and keep trying to rush us. They seem impatient and show no interest with their work.
