Great place to get Indian food. I recommend the Lorient special chicken which is their restaurant special. It's chicken, peppers , and onions in a creamy sauce. It's not spicy though if that's what you're looking for. Very friendly service. I actually spilled my mango lassie all over the table and my clothes and the waiter offered to give me a free refill. Very clean and spacious inside. read more

So I ordered a chicken vindaloo an onion bhaghee, a garlic naan bread and a half tandoori chicken via Uber. What did I get, a chicken korma, and a chicken saag. Nothing that I wanted to eat! I was so so dissatisfied because I I was looking forwards to a meal from"one of the oldest Indian restaurants in London". If this was their fault then I can't believe they have survived this long. If it was Ubers fault then I got the wrong curry and paid £25 more than I should have! I tried to tell Uber but absolutely got nowhere! Am considering not using Uber food again and would advise everyone to think carefully before they do! read more

tried this place a friend and I got the chicken vindaloo and she got the kolhapuri chicken. So good and spicy the naan was delicious as well. The service is good and the outside seating is cute. read more

Since my "local" curry house closed several years ago, I have been coming to this one, and it has now become my new "local." The food is outstanding and they remember me every time I walk in the door. It is very clean, the food is fantastic- but make sure you know that if you request it hot- it will be HOT! The beer is cold, Poppadoms crisp and the food sizzling. Plus the staff are friendly and genuinely glad to see you. read more

Food was phenomenal, and staff is friendly and helpful! Loved the house special with the lemon rice and garlic Jann.

On a visit to England and Scotland from the States we were craving z Indian food. The place was brilliant. Super friendly, nice atmosphere and excellent food. We went with South Indian dishes and they were great. Highly recommend. read more

Quite nice looking place, interior has been probably renovated not so long ago. £22 for poppadum, rice, naan and chicken tikka jalfrezi. And a large Cobra. All were clearly above the average, also size of the dish was about right. Here "hot" actually means something so jalfrezi certainly made my nose run. But that was in a good way! Anyway their "very hot" dishes are probably best left to the proper experts... Maybe 1/3 full around 7pm on Wednesday evening. Service was extremely fast and friendly, I have waited far longer in many "fast food" restaurants than here. Would I return? Yes sure, one of the best Indian restaurants I've visited in London though not quite perfect as such read more

Cheap comfy easy unpretentious little place which for us fit the bill perfectly. Great spice kick and very generous servings. I have always dreamed of Indian food in London. Check another off my food bucket list. Had the chicken Xacuti and naan with a cucumber and tomato side. The surprise was the side, fresh and clean it cut through the beautiful Xacuti and rounded out a wonderfully flavoursome meal, after which I finished off Keeno's eggplant dish and then D2's murgh makani. And D1's naan. And some birani. I am actually starting to round out myself. Yum read more

This restaurant has been around for 55 years. Can you imagine how cool that must have been, going for Indian food in Notting Hill 55 years ago? Edgy stuff. This is not just any Indian restaurant -- this place is absolutely delicious. My favorites include their creamy Lorient chicken, dal misron, and their rotating specials. Every time we come back, the staff are incredibly friendly and we feel at home here. It strikes the right balance between homey-casual and a more dressy, formal atmosphere. On top of everything, the service feels personal and from the heart. That's what makes it great for a range of occasions: dinner with work colleagues, casual dinner with friends, or a nice-but-not-fussy date. Gluten free notes: Most Indian food is naturally gluten free and they are happy to advise on what did and didn't have gluten. read more

The best Indian food I've ever eaten. Hands down. I was visiting from Memphis, and this restaurant was recommended to me, and was very close to where I was staying. I'm so glad I went! I ordered a Strongbow and the Chicken Jalfrezi. The beer was ice cold, refills on it and my water were offered at the perfect times, and the Jalfrezi was spicy and a huge portion. The garlic naan was also fantastic. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting London. It has reasonable prices, good portions, and amazing food. I felt very welcomed and satisfied. So I went back 3 times. And every time was just as good. read more

Amazing flavor rich and yummy food. Go for the restaurant specials and you won't go wrong.

One of the best Indian meals I have had and at a reasonable price! The salmon was succulent and tasty and the chicken tikka masala was delicious. The only negative was one of the waiters was a bit short on smiles. read more

The food was delicious and high quality. However the restaurant is small and extremely noisy. If you have any issues with noise, or hearing difficulty, you will want to avoid. The service is confusing. Ours was extremely poor, but the tables on either side (that came in after us) got their food quickly. Maybe we don't know the secret to good service? I ended up pretty ill because of how long it took for the waiter to take our order and then for our food to arrive. read more

We were enticed into this little restaurant by the amazing aromas wafting out onto the street. The food was equally delicious! They have a really nice range of different dishes, not just the normal curry house options. We got the tandoori platter starter. The lamb was tender and well flavoured. The mince was a bit dry, but the chicken was nice and moist. For mains we have the Lorient chicken, full of flavour and super tender. Would be happy to eat it anytime! The lamb xacuti was hot but had taste. The lamb just fell apart and the spices had time to marinate on your tongue before the heat kicked in. Would definitely stop by again to try out some new dishes. read more

I'm super excited to have discovered this Indian restaurant just off of Westbourne Grove. For the location, the prices are very reasonable, and the food was very good. We feasted on a very tasty dal with unusual and complex spices, a great aubergine jalfrezi, and some good (but not great) okra. The only disappointing dish was the vegetable kofta which was a bit bland. I would definitely come back and am delighted to have a new go-to Indian restaurant in this area. read more

Somehow you can find real gems in your neighbourhood only by opening your eyes. I have walked past Durbar on many occasions but somehow never remembered the restaurant when in mood for an Indian meal. I am really glad I have finally had a chance to discover this well-established and popular place. The food was a good version of what we have come to expect from a local Tandoori restaurant with a mix of well-known favourites and house specials. While enjoying the compulsory (for me!) papadoms and pickes we decided to sample the Lorient Special Chicken and a selection of vegetarian side dishes. All were delicious, especially the chicken. What set Durbar aside from similar establishments is its atmosphere. The interior is recognisably Indian, but with a modern and more minimalist flair. I can't remember the music in detail, but it was more relaxing and more imaginative than the piped Bollywood variety. The waiters were particularly attentive, and the place was packed even on a Sunday night. I won't forget and definitely find my way to Hereford Road again soon. read more

For the price, a little tired. Looks like it had better days, tired staff, food uninspired but adequate. Would give it 2.5 if they had halves read more

Really great Indian restaurant. The food is fantastic, the service pretty prompt, the portions sizes are decent and the price was very good. The samosas were tasty, the pilau rice was great, the naan okay and the Lorient Special Chicken, the speciality of Durbar, is one of the best Indian dishes I've ever eaten. I live nearby and will definitely return! read more

Ordered rice, garlic naan, lime chicken and spicy beef curry. Chicken wasn't spicy but beef had a mild kick to it that hits you in the teeth! Service was attentive, small cosy sitting. Restroom was clean. read more

Outstanding restaurant. There were four of us. We all enjoyed our food. The Beef Kali Mirch was delicious.

Really good, authentic Indian food. The actual restaurant is pretty small and some of the waiters aren't the best with English but the food was pretty amazing. Highly recommend the garlic naan and chicken tiki masala. Wine was priced well, too. read more

No good at all if you are a tourist. The waiter push you to orden more than you need in a non-polite way... you know what you need specially when you have visit many Indian restaurants in your life...but he looks at you as if you where crazy or so... also pushes you in to make you order more beer and so on.... after that they ask you for a tip....service non included, they say! No way. The food it's ok... the service is very bad. They didn't give us glasses nor the classical free aperitif they gave to the rest of local costumers..at the end... they tried not to give me the bill note....imagine why..... .. read more

In my view the best of the traditional style Indian restaurants. Why anyone would head to Khans and not come to the vastly superior Durbar is beyond me. Seriously, if you're in the mood fora traditional style curry, you should head here. It's very good. read more

Good service, we were seated within minutes and a cold Cobra was in my hands in seconds of being seated. A small restaurant with around 40 covers only. The menu has a good selection of starters and mains. A traditional Indian in every aspect. The service was good and the staff were friendly. The starter and main were served quickly and were tasty, not the usual production line fare you would expect in London. I would recommend to anyone who likes Indian. Booking advised on weekends. read more

Excellent food, one of the better Indian restaurants. Great value for money Good service. Just the noise level due to bad acoustics is rather high. Not a place for sweet whispers.. A restaurant for a visit again very soon. Must reserve. read more

Really good food for a reasonable price even better service. If you have a food allergy feel safe to come here because they're very careful and knowledgeable about what's in their food and can advice you what you can and can't eat. read more

Having never visited the area before we googled local restaurants. The write up for this Indian was great so we looked forward to our meal as we are big curry fans. We were not disappointed! The food was delicious, in particular the crab cakes, crab tikka and the lamb. The service was very good and all the staff were very friendly. Would definitely visit again if we found ourselves in the area in the future. read more
