Unforgettable Christmas Dinner at DARBAR Restaurant!…read more We had the most incredible Christmas dinner at DARBAR, and every dish was an absolute masterpiece! The flavours, the quality, and the warm ambience of this amazing restaurant blew away my entire team. We tried the Lamb Karahi (Karahi Goosht), Afghan Fish, Chicken Kebabs, and Lamb Kebabs, each cooked perfectly and bursting with authentic Afghan spices. But the star of the night was the Qabuli Palaw--honestly, it was out of this world! We've never tasted rice so flavorful and delicious. Afghan cuisine stands apart, and DARBAR is the best place to experience it. We can't wait to come back for more! #AfghanFood #AuthenticFlavors #DARBARRestaurant #ChristmasDinner #LambKarahi #QabuliPalaw #AfghanCuisine #FoodieExperience #BestAfghanRestaurant #LondonEats

The restaurant is very clean and spacious, spanning two floors with many tables both on the rooftop and the first floor. It's a fantastic venue for business dinners and meetings.

Namak is my go to spot after Watan in South Hall…read more I am in no BS mood so I will keep this one straight. I always order the same food when I am here from Namak Mandi. The service is quick. The food is ready on time. The Kabuli pulao is great. The rice is fluffy, the meat is falling off the bone, and every bite is flavorful. The chapli kebab is soft and juicy. It hits all the spots. The chicken charsi karahi is okay at best but you can't have all you want. I haven't dine in inside so I have no idea about the ambiance but the food is great so I will eat it under a bridge if I have to. 4.1/5 definitely recommend!

After a flight delay and an unwanted hotel airport stay, my wife used it as an opportunity to hit…read moreSouth Hall for some south Asian food. Two friends recommended this spot. So first. Service. They are busy. Very busy. It's hard to get anyone's attention. When we did, the young women was in a constant rush and a little rude. As an example - I placed our food order and also asked for chai. She abruptly said "no too busy go somewhere else for that." Later, I saw other people order and get chai after their meal at the table next to us. There was another guy running back and forth. I must have asked for water 4 or 5 times before he finally just dropped a bottle off on the table while running by with no glasses. Getting the check was an ordeal. So finally I just walked up to the counter and asked for it at the take away register and the same rude women said "just pay here". I gave her my Amex and it wasn't going thru she just kept saying "decline". She did it two or 3 times. Then I said "do you take Amex". She says "no only visa MasterCard." I don't expect white glove service at spots like this, just don't be rude. Maybe say I'm sorry we are too busy tonight. Anyway. The food. That saved the day. Seekh kabob 5/5 Afghan Naan 5/5 Chicken tikka 4/5 Saag paneer 3/5 Nihari 2/5 Chutneys - 2/5 I normally take an average and round up. They get a 3.5 on the food only. I'm rounding down this time because of the service.

The staff though is nice and even when we left, a man rolling the dough for the flatbread gave us a sincere thank you for coming. The decor is also very cool, with walls painted a warm mustard brown colour and tchotchkes everywhere. The menu in the restaurant is slightly different from the online menu, which is a bit annoying as a vegetarian bc I was really eager to go here based on what I saw online. We ordered the panir-o-sabzi to start and whilst a big plate, the description didn't match the meal. I expected feta cheese blended with tarragon, mint and walnut, almost as a spread, with walnuts. Rather it's a big salad with radish slices and 2 halves of a pretty tasteless cheese, and walnuts. Piping hot bread is served with it. Next I ordered the mirza gasemi which was the best-tasting dish of the night: a soupy mix of aubergine, whet and tomatoes, it was perfect with the bread. My main, the ashak, was a big dish but a big downer: very bland despite the heaps of sauces. My husband got the grilled chicken with a specialty rice of orange peel, almond slivers pistachio and grated carrot and salad: again a huge plate. The orange peel was the most distinctive, delicious taste, basically caramelized. My husband loved the spicy green sauce that accompanied his meal.

Affordable and tasty - a great place for a lunch break…read more It may look like a takeaway place but you can actually sit down and eat. As you walk in, you only see one communal table, but there is more tables upstairs. The menu is very straightforward. Four veggie options and four meat/ fish ones. You get a side of rice with your main. That's all. We had a aubergine dish, a daal and a fish stew. Aubergine was a bit bland, but everything else was good.

Fortunately we walked in early enough to get a table for two without reservations. However I highly recommend calling ahead during prime hours. However, if you must wait a bit they will likely bring out a serving of tea to bide you over. We ordered the dinner for two and could not believe the variety, flavors, and portions. The naan was amazing as one would expect. The chicken, rice, lamb and sauce was filled with flavor, spice, and and diversity. I'm not sure one could find anything to disagree with. However, I've yet to share the best part! The hosts and servers made the evening unforgettable! (I won't share all the details so you can engage and discover your own surprises.) as in true afghan style, we were greeted warmly at the start and felt like family when time to leave. They enjoyed us dining with them as much as we enjoyed all they offered. Overall we experienced a delicious and peaceful night out, filled with new friends, tastes and memories. I trust and hope others will take the time to experience this gem!
