Super oily vindaloo and the chicken wings over battered over sauced. Shahi chicken meat balls were hard and seasonings were off this time. Usually so moist and soft. They forgot our rice too so that will be the last time we will order. If they got a new chef sadly it's not the same as couple months ago. I love the cheese naan and the butter chicken!! I hope that never changes. Bummed about this!!! We loved this place.

This is one of the best Indian restaurant experiences I've had in recent memory. I picked this…read moreplace for an after-work dinner based on strong reviews, and it delivered. The dining room was clean and uncomplicated, with understated decor and an enchanting aroma of balanced spice. The menu here is a tome- while they're halal and vegetarian friendly, it's pretty clear they have all the meats halal allows... the usual chicken, beef, & lamb, but also mutton, goat, fish and shrimp. The first two pages are all different Mandi, or meat platters (there are vegetarian options), and then it goes on... soups, salads, classic entrees by ingredient and style. Then there's extras- biryanis, Indo-Chinese, and of course desserts. My coworker and I got a mixed grill and a chicken curry with garlic chili cheese naan and a cucumber salad. We asked for medium spicy. Everything was well prepared and expertly spiced, from a surprise sharp chili note balancing the sour tang of the yogurt in the cucumber salad, to the naan that had a welcome note of butter. The mixed grill was well prepared and the simple chicken curry was the surprise star... deep and rich, perfect over rice. The service was attentive, and it took a bit for the entrees- this isn't fast food. But the waiters and host were gracious and let us linger and finish our conversation past closing time, and let us try their rice pudding. All in all, this is the first Indian restaurant I've been to in a long time that didn't need to prop up their offering with a buffet- the entrees were compelling in their own right without having an array of choice. The bill was reasonable, and all in all we had a great time. I'll be back, and next time I'll try a mandi and ask them to dial up the heat on the curry, since they're fairly conservative with the spice levels. Judging from the well-mixed crowd in the place, they've probably got good reasons. Recommended!

We got takeout from here. A single order of the tandoori chicken mandi and the Gobi 65 appetizer…read more The Gobi appetizer was so disappointing. It didn't taste like "Gobi 65" just some chunks of cauliflower dipped in batter and smothered in some random reddish sauce. Worse than that, the batter inside ie around the florets was gloopy and pasty. They need to figure out how to do this right. The star of the show was easily the tandoori chicken - juicy, tender, and succulent - there stars for this. The rice was nice. I requested for mild spicy and it wasn't spicy at all which was great. However, the white sauce they have with it was actually over-whipped mayo which was a strange choice with this dish; wouldn't raita have been better? The brown sauce was also not appetizing. Flavor-wise, I would easily opt for a biryani vs this dish. Plus from a value for money perspective, mandi is easily more expensive even for a single portion. It feels like it's a big tray when you pick it up, but the layer of rice inside is pretty thin with only 3 pieces of chicken. Probably not worth a repeat visit unless I only want their tandoori chicken.

They don't know how to make naan, while the other Indian bread seemed like reheated from frozen. Ok may not have been frozen, but yeah made "earlier" and reheated. The only saving grace was the curry which was on the spicier side. They have the space, it could be better - but they have to hire better staff who know how to work in restaurants. Can quickly go downhill otherwise. Good for pickup, not great for dine in. The music playing in the background was too loud while the staff was busy watching the TV screen rather than asking whether the customer needed anything else or how the food was. Summarizing a restaurant run by people who don't know how to run a restaurant. Given the dismal quality of Indian food in a 20 mile radius from here is the only reason it gets a 3 star. Otherwise would have been a 2 star. I'll pickup next time I feel like going here. Till then just forced to use other restaurants except when I crave Indian food. Sad state of affairs. But worth checking out once - to pickup.

My only comment is that it was a bit spicier than I expected. Not enough so that I did not enjoy it, but if you hate hot-spiced food, I'd make a point of asking for mild. The naan was disappointing. I'll be back.

Formerly Woodlands Framingham, Dilli Darbar is a full service Indian restaurant and bar, which is…read moreyet another rebrand at this location under the same ownership. The former restaurant served up Indian vegetarian cuisine and the updated concept now also serves meat dishes. Woodlands is still open in Westborough. After hearing about the change, I decided to head over to Dilli Darbar in Framingham for the Sunday Lunch Buffet, which is $26.99 plus tax. I could sit at any table and sat near the buffet. The Darbari Buffet offered several dishes, appetizers, soup, and desserts including Chicken Biryani, Chicken Vindaloo, Egg Curry, Lamb Rogan Josh, Shrimp Guntar Curry, Paneer Kai Mirch, Aloo Baingan, Chana Masala, Honey Chilly Potato, Cocktail Samosa, Rice, Vegetable Pulao, Naan, Shami Kabab, Chicken Pakoda, Sabz Meloni, Pappad, Chutenys, Raita, Salad, Chicken Soup, Rice Kheer, Sawaiyan, and soda included. Since I got here well after the peak lunch period, the place wasn't busy. The food on the buffet however was not very hot. Some of the food items were very salty in taste. The soda with ice was flat. The rice kheer was pretty good for dessert. After I had enough to eat, I got the check with Toast QR code, which was $28.88 with tax and before tip. Overall, the service here attentive and laid back. I also informed staff about the taste of the food. The spice levels were just right, but they could go easier on the sodium content. All of the other Indian restaurants I've been to in the region, use much less salt. I needed two drinks to wash down the aftertaste. (2.7/5.0)

And flavorful it was! The chicken tikka masala sauce was packed with spice and had a lovely silky texture. Paired with the rice and naan was a bite that transported us straight to India! Not to mention, the ceremonial decor makes the entire night feel like a true, traditional dining experience. This spot is perfect for sharing and the meal was very cheap for the quantity and quality! We were also able to try their crisp veggie samosas (my absolute fav!) and their traditional gulab jamun (which they kindly provided us on the house!) The service is incredibly kind, moves swiftly, and truly makes you feel at home. Finally, I have to commend their extensive menu offering every traditional indian dish you can imagine, plus some you've probably never heard of. I can't wait to go back and try more things, this spot is the perfect place to indulge in some comfort food or branch out and try something new! I can't give this place enough praise and I'd definitely recommend you stop by whenever you get the chance! Make sure to bring your appetite, and maybe some friends and family to help out as well.
