Dalchini Indian Restaurant in Bolton

We collected a take-away tonight rather than eating in. We live locally and have been regulars at this restaurant for many years. We have not been 100% happy with the quality of the food recently but tonight we noticed a marked improvement. New Chef maybe, but whatever please keep up this standard. Countryside location with a large free car, a friendly welcome and good service. We highly recommend.

Since moving to the area 4 years ago and finding this lovely Indian Restaurant we haven't had a bad experience or meal. The staff are so welcoming and attentive, nothing is too much trouble. The food is absolutely delicious and we have never been rushed to finish our meal or leave the table. Well worth a visit.

Darchini is amazing. I will always come here as long as darchini is open. Everything is amazing there food , the staff and the service is on point. This restaurant always reaches my standards.

We have known Mr Shah for many years my wife and I first met him when he opened the Ruposhi Restaurant in Bury way back in 2010 where he never failed to deliver delicious meals at a low price and huge portions. There were many choices on the menu and at times it was difficult to decide what to eat as all that we had tried were delicious. We found out that Sah had taken over as a new venture the Darchini which we also visited last November we were overwhelmed by Shah's welcome he seated us at a table and spoke to his head waiter, the service was polite and quick. We chose Samosas and our favourite meal Panjabi Lamb with boiled rice it was as usual delicious we could taste a lot of spices giving the lamb distinct flavour. Well done Darchini.

I’ve had many curries in my life but this place is absolutely amazing the food was perfect and the service was good. Everything g came out perfect no mistakes and yeah everything was great. 100% recommend it.

Dalchini now Darchini. What can I say? Amazing food, great staff and owner very attentive. Signature dishes delicious. We went 2 consecutive nights and was delighted with both recommendations. Chicken Kalia and the lamb Bengal was amazing. My husband and son inlaw both had the salmon sizzler. All dishes were very tasty. Really worth giving this place a go if you like Asian cuisine.

Great restaurant friendly staff and very helpful my wife is ceoliac and they made sure that she was catered for will be there again soon

We visited this place yesterday evening.very welcoming staff and friendly environment. Food and service spot on. Nice outside view and big car park.

I’ve experienced in so many Indian restaurants.. but in this restaurants food and staff behaviour was top notch .. last week I went there with my friends.. and we enjoyed a lot.. their food was so classy .. also well maintained.. If i talk about their services which was so friendly ..This restaurants environment was so cool .. We told them we will be there soon… We also booked table for this cristmas.. I will recommend everyone who love Indian food… You wouldn’t dissatisfied .. 💙💙

I eat all over the UK, this is poor 0/10 This use to be very good, but food quality has been inconsistent since its had new owners and the service has declined. An hour for a table despite being booked on more than one occasion. Sometimes food is excellent, other times one has to return dishes. Owner doesn't seem to be too interested in negative feedback!

this visit was a surprise party and the staff there kindly let us use the restaurant they came out with delicious starters and they were absolutely delicious the main course was even better after every single bite the food was getting better and i will definitely be coming back!

Been a few times now. Friendly staff and good value for money. We had the £14.95 early bird which comes with a starter, main and a side. Food tasty and meat was tender. Suitable for vegetarians and young children. Will be back.

We went out for my sister birthday party. The workers there let us decorate the restaurant for her birthday which was really really nice of them. As soon as we dined they took our drink orders and we got it straight away and the service was great and all the workers had a bright smile to greet us with. Food was outstanding and mouthwatering . We really had a fantastic time . Best restaurant well done darchini.

I came from Sunderland to try out this restaurant and i could say my trip wasn't a waste! The food, the hospitality everything was more than expectation. Best indian food i had so far! Definitely worth it.

This place is great! My first time visiting with my husband and toddler. Atmosphere is chill, cool and the the staff are also really friendly and hospitable They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food was absolutely stunning and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. This is going to be my new regular!!

I love this place. There food is practically my diet i coke here all the time. There food is too good.I highly recommend this place you can do anything and dalchini is the right place to go for any occasion!

Me and my friend visited here during the week for our tea. No issues at all, fab prices and quick friendly service and most importantly great food. Would definitely come back again. X
