Archana in Belfast

Fantastic meal and service. We loved the food.

Came here for dinner. Onion bhaji was tasty however the chicken pakora starter was dry and overcooked. I had the madrass for main which was hot but completely flavourless with a watery consistency. My partner had Punjabi Masala which was tasteless and needed salt. Did not like how the curry was presented as we had to eat straight from the pan. Naan bread wasn’t crispy and could have done with a few more minutes in the oven. Much better Indian restaurants out there than this place. Service was only reason I didn’t give a one star.

Beautiful meal tonight in Archana. We had Aloo Gobin and Thali. Chef made it extra spicy as requested. Service was great as usual. Best Indian food in Belfast by quite some distance. Highly recommend.

Walked in with no reservation and was served just about the best indian food I've ever had. excellent friendly service and reasonable prices too. a gem

food was amazing as always no doubt but the old man with glasses on counter was very very very rude he behave with coustmer like they are terrist

Nice small restaurant right in the middle of Belfast. Fantastic food, lovely staff. Very very worth the price. Would recommend to anyone (even if you don't handle spice well)

Mine and my fiance's favorite place to go for date night, amazing staff always remember our order and super welcoming Food always great 😃

Very nice Indian food and very good service. Spicy and tasty too!!

This is my favourite place to go in Belfast and I’ll travel to here for takeaway over anywhere closer. Everyone that works here is friendly and engaging, you can tell it’s a family run place. Highly recommend!!

Lovely place, atmosphere and staff. Food was tasty but would’ve liked more seasoning. The fish starter was quite dry with no sauce so had to ask for some. Enjoyed the experience but a few tweaks needed to make the food stand out more.

Authentic Indian restaurant friendly service, good value for money.

This is a great little restaurant with very personal service. The dishes are individually, and freshly, prepared. Each one is carefully explained and described by the friendly, knowledgeable staff. Eating here is outstanding value, even though you are just a short walk from the bustle of Donegall Square.

Our order was missing about half the food. Just Eat made the experience worse at every turn. I will never order from this restaurant again or use this abysmal food delivery app again.

Very bad food,,, everything was Raw...When tried to talk Chef was very rude. Wouldn't suggest it ...fake Indian food

Food wasn’t that good. Differentiating between customers. Raw food, Bad experience

Great service, delivery and food

Really good spicy main course…thoroughly enjoyed it and delighted it was early!

Best place in belfast where you can find a atmosphere like your home as well as their food, behaviour everything is so elegant. Such a nice place along with nice people. Punjabi’s❤️

This has to be the worst Indian restaurant I’ve ever sat down to (and there’s been a lot) The main course sauce was so thin and watery! I’ve genuinely microwaved better curries from supermarkets! Shocking !

Got part of the order wrong I ordered pilau rice and got cauliflower thing but was still lovely, everything else was right and food great.

Was expecting Indian-style cuisine, but this was a total dissatisfaction, never choose this spot in future I would say 3/10. And the customer service was not upto the mark.

Arvind provided excellent service during our visit to Archana Restaurant. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. His knowledge of the menu and prompt service were impressive. Highly recommend💯

If you really wanna taste Indian food in Belfast. This is the place. Amazing curries

Why have you deleted my review about your terrible delivery drivers?

I recently visited Archana and had a fantastic dining experience! The vegetarian meal was absolutely delicious, with every dish full of flavor. The starters were especially outstanding, setting the tone for a great meal. Additionally, the service was excellent – the person(arvind) who served us was very polite and humble. I highly recommend Archana to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience with perfect indian taste.

Order says delivered it hasn’t been delidelivered

Good quick delivery service and food was lovely.

Chetan waited our table..he was very polite and kind….good experience

Very good food and customer service.

We booked our table for five at the last minute and it was clear when we arrived that word hadn't reached front of house, but the team coped admirably, opening the upstairs area to accommodate us before serving some of the best Indian food we have ever had. Highly recommended!

Yummy food and drinks. Nice staff

Authentic taste of Indian food in Belfast.. Delicious Healthy and hygienic.. Loved it ..

This restaurant is small(ish) inside but has wonderful service and amazing flavours. I had the evening Thali and my husband the Jalfrezi with mushroom rice. So pleased we didn’t have a starter as both were large dishes. Great to say the quality was excellent and flavours were delicious 👏

This was amazing , from staff been so kind to the amazing food served so fast , I recommend this restaurant at 100% if you find yourself in Dublin Road , Belfast , visit this traditional Indian restaurant , you will not be disappointed 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Always great food from this place. Had a little hiccup with the driver but these things happen. Always happy to give them a tip, they're so quick at delivering

Just had the mixed tikka starter, and it was really nice, exactly what I wanted. The accompanying chilli sauce dip they give you was spectacular (seems to be blended chilli's and salt). Chicken vindaloo was super tasty and ingredients fresh (portion was slightly small). Always tended to by staff and checked up on. Prices are decent. Loved this place. I was looking for spicy Indian food and I got what I wanted. Satisfied. P.s. curry's don't come with a side, this is priced separately. Typical, I guess, though, and the same as in England.

Very tasty! Couldn’t find a Chettinad anywhere else on JustEat and it’s my favourite so thought I’d try Archana! It didn’t disappoint. The portions are a good size and we got free Bhajis for spending over £25. It was a whole portion, not just one! Would definitely order again. Thank you!

10/10! The food, its presentation, the quality and the service just on point! The only thing I couldn't handle was the portion size😅

The best veggie tikka masala in Belfast🌹🥦🥬🌽🍅

Always great this place, have ordered from this place religiously for the past 4 years

Excellent meal here,we all had different dishes and all agreed great.naan bread excellent.staff very friendly,and a lovely vibe in this small family run indian restaurant ,which has been here over 40 years.excellent.

Food was great as usual. However onions don’t usually come in a Madras and I specifically asked for no onions to be sure. If you spend £50 on a take away, it should be correct

Every single meal I've had from Archana (and there has been a lot!) has been fantastic. Really delicious. Very fast delivery too!

No Onion Bhaji with order even though said free with order over £25

Beautiful food, beautiful staff and beautiful atmosphere

Quiet when I visited for the second time but this restaurant did not disappoint. Fabulous Punjabi food. A good choice and not exorbitantly expensive. If there were six stars the food would get them. Really! Give it a try. Proper job!

Ordered and delivered in about 20 mins. Food is always really good

Atmosphere,service ,food and drinks second to none Every mouthful was perfection. Staff very friendly and helpful Favourite Indian ever .

Always great food from Archana, I really want to know how you make the Green Chilli Dip! I always tip the delivery drivers as they're always really quick to deliver as well.

Very nice but £1.00 for 1 single popadum ..

Excellent food. Tasted very freshly made and well flavoured without being over spicy. Really good quality and value. Pleasant decor and service. Would definitely recommend.

The behaviour of the people were good but the food portion is less

Absolutely delicious food and the most attentive staff and owner. We have eaten here before but we live outside Belfast so not too often. Each time the food is incredible. We absolutely loved every mouthful. We went with friends and they agreed it was great. Having travelled all over India for many years I found the quality and taste and spice level very authentic and tasty. I had the lamb and spinach, my husband had the lamb madras and both were super. We had a garlic naan and a pershwari naan:. my only issue is they don’t do Mojito’s, but the wine and company made up for it haha! Would not hesitate to recommend this place and can’t wait to get back. In our opinion it’s the best Indian in the city of Belfast

Very disappointing ,watery sauce lacking in taste and body.Veg dish just had peas and green beans ,ordered the same dishes the week before and they were very good ,Archana has inconsistent quality.

Excellent food, arrived quickly, and very nice delivery driver!

Without doubt this was a great Indian restaurant was their on a repeat visit because it was good food, but its like a different place in every way wouldn't recommend it anymore very disappointed

Were usually dining here with family. We met an owner before who was super nice and careing about our son and the food was outstanding, we felt nice Indian hospitality (like in my friend’s home). Butter chicken was yellow nutty and delicious. Today butter chicken was red and extremely spicy, on the top of that we were charged 3£ for chutney that usually come free with papadoms🙄first time I see this attitude of greed in Indian restaurant. We weren’t asked about spices, but food was never like that spicy and watery, before it was nutty and mild (also without asking) No lollies for kids anymore, no welcoming atmosphere and despite that we told about different taste and colour of the same dish in the same place-nobody cared, except two mint candies. For the bill of 40+£ you expect more. Total disappointment and shocking that such a lovely place turned into commercialised fast-food, where nobody expects taste or hospitality, but with the high bill for what you get. We don’t have the favourite Indian place to go to with family in Belfast, such a pity..

Lamb briyani was spicy and tasty.

Amazing food! Proper Indian food. Every meal has been excellent!!

Food was so tasty. The chilli dip for the poppadoms was amazing

I complained about this order as we order a vegetarian korma and was sent a chicken one. Had to bin it but still haven’t received a refund!!

Great food as always, poppadoms were pretty stale, but that green chilli chutney is so addictive. Love it

This was the best Indian food I've had for a long time and certainly the best I've had in Belfast. Every part of it was packed with flavour and the chicken and lamb were both super tender and great quality! This will now be my regular!

A varied menu for the fan of curries. Very pleasant staff who ensure you know what to order. Environment clean and friendly. A couple of Magners with a Dhansak with a Chilli Naan, what's not to like? Would visit again without hesitation.

Absolutely amazing! I love the food, staff are special stars. I recommend to try aloo paratha and chittinadu 🤤🤤🤤

Well this was my first time in Archana restaurant and I did go to a few Indian restaurants in mainland and a couple of restaurants in Northern Ireland Surprisingly I was amazed with the taste , quality and such friendly staff it was Ashok who served us and the gentleman was really good in explaining things with a pleasant and positive attitude.Normally when having Indian restaurant abroad they stick with the local taste and flavors but this place never had such issues Highly recommended and see you soon.

Experienced an amazingly delicious Indian cuisine along with great hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant if you fancy a true North Indian taste.

Forgot rice but quickly sent another along with a free starter, food top quality as always

Ordered dip (onions ) some green corriander dip arrived instead, chilli masala was like tomato soup, no heat /spice, very disappointed, won’t be back.

Amazing food but I been to restaurant on Dublin road and it’s well worth a visit just up a bit from the hotel use not be disappointed foods amazing

Love this place, order regularly. Only teething issue I've ever had with this place was the delivery drivers and never the restaurant. The food is excellent for the prices. Your green chilli chutney is so addictive. I'd love to know the ingredients for it.

I usually go and collect my order from Archana as their delivery drivers are absolutely useless. My GPS location is confirmed on the Just Eat app, I give full, specific details on how to locate my apartment block (which is 1/4 miles from Archana) but the drivers STILL call me saying they don't know where my address is. 5 star rating for the food itself but if I could give some of their drivers -5 stars I would. Will be collecting my order from now on.

I received the dips but they forgot the poppadums

Garlic naans were best, samosas were good as well. Lamb gravy was too sweet from coconut. Tandoori fish was below average. The daal tadka was best among all. Although management need to be police to customer. Lot of scope to improve on.

Food is always lovely from here but unfortunately the Just Eat driver decided he wanted to help himself to some of my order. Archana tape the bags closed but on this occasion one bag was taped and the other had been taped closed but opened. Not the restaurants fault so have scored on the food quality which was delicious as per usual. Just Eat sort your drivers out this happens too often.

Items missing and food inedible... staff when rang tried to tell me I was making it up8

Very rude staff. Food becomes delicious with warm hospitality not with rudeness. Indians specially should not come here as these Indian restaurant guys actually mistreat their own country people.

The staff mainly the owner was so rude and was asking to order more else food will not be served Though two main dishes with kids meal and starters were ordered

The food was lovely and very reasonable. The staff were very friendly.

Satisfy your cravings with the flavorsome Indian cuisine and Top-Notch service.....

Missing the masala chip and dips were different than requested but food was lovely as always :)

The food was delicious. Good value with generous portions and quick delivery time.

Probably the best subcontinental cuisine in Belfast.

one item worth 14.95 pounds was missing 😢

First time here for a meal and it was outstanding, food was amazing and the service was so good, such friendly staff and the restaurant itself was beautiful! Loved the decor, can’t wait to go back!!

Never received the order. Driver called to confirm address and still never showed up even tho it says delivered. Called the restaurant and wasn't very helpful said I have to contact just eat that was it. Not great service on both parts

"No longer my problem", not what you want to hear when you pay for food that does not come. Avoid this place or you will end up out of pocket and hungry

Old and reliable. Food always excellent and great variety (extensive vegetarian menu also). Try the Achard for sure, it’s absolutely delicious. Staff always very friendly

Most of the positive reviews here are from Non-Desi folks. Maybe the ethos of Archana is to serve only them. Their hospitality towards Desi folks, regardless of us being extremely amicable was pathetic. The host (South Asian not sure if the guy was Indian/Sri lankan or Bengali) seemed like he couldn’t care less. The food wasn’t even good enough for them to act like they have standards. My family and I have travelled well, as Indians like most others we seek Indian restaurants. Everywhere, the hosts have made us feel welcomed. Not Archana’s though. There are many other places in Belfast serving amazing Indian food with wonderful hospitality.

Superb Indian food. Reasonably priced, with great friendly service.

Fantastic Indian cuisine 👍 Can highly recommend the Gordon special, which is outstanding. Everything is served with a smile. Not to be missed if visiting Belfast.

Great authentic Indian food. We sat downstairs which has an intimate and cosy feel. Lovely!

Lovely little family run restaurant. So friendly and the food was scrumptious.

this still hasn't been delivered, but is marked as delivered already! :( have marked food quality as 5/5 in case it reflects on the restaurant, but have received no food.

Food was delicious as always and I'm now sitting happily full

Was just alright, had ordered two meals and some of the dips we had ordered were missing. No real flavour from anything. Wouldn’t order again.

A staff member was smirking as I asked for a water bottle. Took them 15 mins and 3 nudges just to get some water. Food was below my expectations, many more better Indian restaurants out there! Lastly, please read their replies on critical reviews. You will know the class of this restaurant and its management. Very poor.

Superb vegetarian thali, with a lovely bottle of local(ish) IPA. Great, friendly service, and very reasonably priced.

We booked a table for the 8 of us, and were treated so well by the staff, the food was excellent and the bill was a pleasant surprise. All in all a great night, just the ticket!!

Went as a group of 4 couples. Staff were very friendly, attentive and basically could not do enough for us. The food was excellent. On the whole a brilliant experience and would highly recommend this restaurant.
