Darjeeling Indian Restaurant in Bexley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Small restaurant so feels personal and intimate. Customer service could use some work. Finished our poppadoms before even seeing a menu. Food is great. Peshwari naan in particular. Cashew Korma was tasty and something not found everywhere. Good menu selections. 6 people with beer and wine, main course and half a side was £152 with No compulsory service charge added.

Always a pleasure. Thank you Amin

We ate there on a busy Saturday night. All enjoyed our food. staff very attentive in spite of how busy they were. Good job we booked, there wasn't a table to be had by 7.30.

Wonderful service Delicious food Delivery driver is very lovely guy I am not sure why it’s showing one ⭐️ on the top. I have 5 out of 5.

The food in Darjeeling is amazing. I went to the restaurant with my friends on May 18th, 2024, at 8:00 PM. There were places for four people, but a man (around 55 years old) at the restaurant said there weren't any tables available and told us to come back after a few hours. A few minutes later, the restaurant staff offered us a place. However, we waited for more than half an hour, and no one came to take our order. It felt like we were begging for food. Why did your employees treat us this way? It felt like we were being discriminated against because we are Asian. The same man seemed to treat white customers much better. Is this how you treat your customers? Restaurant management needs to be aware of how their employees are treating customers. This ruined my birthday; it was the worst one I've ever had.

I recently dined at Darjeeling an Indian restaurant that exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly service that set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a tasteful blend of traditional Indian decor and modern touches. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the butter chicken. It was perfectly cooked, with tender pieces of chicken in a rich, creamy sauce that was bursting with flavor. The balance of spices was impeccable, making each bite a delightful experience. The naan bread served alongside was freshly baked, soft, and perfect for soaking up the delicious sauce. Other dishes we tried were equally impressive. The biryani was aromatic and full of depth, and the samosas were crispy on the outside and filled with a flavorful mixture of potatoes and peas. The variety on the menu caters to all tastes, with plenty of vegetarian options as well. The service throughout the meal was attentive and professional, with the staff providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty. Overall, Darjeeling restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates high-quality Indian cuisine. I highly recommend it, especially for the outstanding butter chicken.

I think the older gentleman could benefit from some additional training on providing excellent customer service. His approach to interacting with customers was somewhat unconventional and didn't quite align with my expectations. Perhaps a bit more guidance on effective communication and customer relations would be helpful.

Delicious food and customer service was very good

Firstly. I’ve been going to this restaurant for years. I travel an hour to get to it so please note it was good. But enough is enough, the last three visits have been disappointing. Poor service, hardly any meat in the dishes (bulked out with potatoes) and on Sat 16th March 24 stale poppadoms and the wrong rice. Twice complained and met with a rather negative response. My family and I are done and will find somewhere closer to home.

Fitted us in late at last minute, and the food was lovely.

I ordered the chicken passanda, what arrived was small peices of chicken in a grainy red sauce, when I called the manager over he agreed it wasn't chicken passanda but chicken tandori passanda, not what I had ordered at all, he took it away and five minutes later brought the same dish back, the sauce had split and had the texture of porridge. My partner ordered the lamb chops, these were hard and overcooked and you could'nt even cut them with a knife and fork. The naan bread and rice were lovely but the main courses were shockingly bad. When you walk into a restaurant on a Friday at 7:30 and there are only 8 diners there you know something is wrong,

Lovely food and friendly customer service. I would recommend the tandoori chicken.

Service was great but food was average

Great food at a good price. Highly recommend !

Magaged to fit 4 people in on a Friday night and did not dissapoint. Excellent food , good atmosphere and good value for money. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Very nice food Friendly staff Would definitely recommend

Unfortunately the owner refuses to take any form of constructive feedback and would rather lose customers permanently instead. It’s a shame I ordered two pathetic attempts of butter chicken and ended up with rotten grainy paste with shavings of old chicken and the owner refusing to accept his mistakes. He was polite until he asked where I was from, then realised I’m Indian and know a thing or two about a half decent curry. Naan was good though. Let the photos speak for itself.

Brilliant food, brilliant wine, brilliant service. Would highly recommend if your looking for a good curry

Best food on the high street , staff its always friendly and helpful , clean place and a very diverse menu . 10 out of 10

Nice food, super friendly atmosphere

Husband and I had a lovely meal. Great food and service, thank you!

Excellent food, probably some of the best curry I’ve ever had. definitely recommend the banquet night.

Another lovely meal with great service. Friendly relaxed staff.

Food was fantastic. I had a curry I had never had before. Recommend by one of the staff. Absolutely amazing.

Great restaurant and very friendly staff. Consistent and great with groups or family

Absolutely amazing food, every time we come it's always consistent. 5 years we've been coming here and every time it's good. We are so lucky it's our local.

I just moved to Sidcup but I’ve been coming here longer and I truly love this place. You will not regret the visit. They food and service are perfect.

Great meal and very friendly service . Will come again.

Really delicious food ,super service and waiters were lovely

Always amazing food, friendly service and really good value for money. Been coming here ever since it opened and have never been let down! ⭐️

Staff are so lovely and always accommodating 😊 Plus food is 10 out of 10 👍🏻

Sorted me right out for my 50th with a few close friends. Highly recommended!

Everything was amazing from when i walked into the restaurant an on my way out. The whole time was 10/10 food was perfect an service was really good!! I recommend to anyone that wants to have a good time with no regrets.

Fantastic meal, wonderful service. Highly recommended!

Please support this Fabulous restaurant. Staff are Brilliant and Food Amazing. So glad we found this Indian restaurant

Can't fault this place, food is always excellent, never had a bad meal since coming here. The staff are always extremely welcoming and accommodating, they are more than happy to offer recommendations when you're unsure on what to have(chicken bhuna is always great). Whatever you have you won't be disappointed.

Lovely meal once again, friendly staff.

Excellent food, tarka Dall was spot on! 👌 Staff were very helpful and attentive and gave great recommendations 😊 definitely will come back

Nice food, they made a special meal for me, king prawn chadni massala, as I like coconut cream instead of tomato sauce and not too spicy, I also don't eat meat. My partner had chicken balti, coconut cashew nut rice as sides, poppadoms as entry with 4 dips, coconut naans, yammy. Excellent service, we will be back, thank you!

The staff at Darjeeling are always so attentive, not to mention the delicious food. My personal favourite is the Pani Puri. This is by far our favourite restaurant in Sidcup, and we will continue to support this restaurant regularly.

Another excellent meal from the best curry house in Sidcup

Great local restaurant, serving excellent quality food. Would personally recommend the chicken Jeera. Friendly service!

You need to go here and try the garlic chilli chicken it’s the best! I’ve lived Sidcup for about 9 years now and tried all the local curry houses and this is by far the best one!!!!

Nice food,nice service, nice atmosphere

We've been visiting here for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else locally. The food served is of a very high quality and the service is great, nothing is too much trouble.

Have been coming in here 15 years … always amazing food and good service

The whole team is amazing the food is amazing, servicr amazing definitely coming back!

Been coming here for years and never had a bad meal! Amazing food and amazing staff

Fantastic restaurant Attentive service and outstanding food Highly recommended

Very nice people. Very good food. I liked very much

POOR, please stay away. I dined alone on Monday at 9.15 pm. Walk in, the older waiter did not acknowledge me, very rude, showed me a table to sit after I made an eye contact. Took 10 minutes to bring the menu and another 10 minutes to taken an order, the restaurant had a table of 6 (almost finished), a table of 4 mains being served. I ordered chicken chettinad, tadka dal, rice and a roti. I never tasted so disgusting chicken dish, it was raw dry chilli powder spice and not cooked, Dal was tasteless, roti very hard, rice a mediocre portion. I had a terrible upset stomach next day as the spices were not cooked, this won’t happen in any good Indian restaurants as the base masalas are properly cooked. I originally come from india and I know my Indian food. I wanted to give business to local restaurants and I chose to eat at this place and not anymore I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends who go out and dine a lot. Please don’t call this place an Indian restaurant. Name some thing else. I chose not to complain on that night as this won’t change the way they cook.

V good food served in a timely and professional manner. Good place to go but music can be loud and tables in the corners are a bit cramped. Goof value, good food and good service.

The food is very good and pretty spicy which we like. The service and ambience is average. It's all about the food!

Very disappointed. Watery sauce and tough chicken

Another great meal. Service great. The young waiter a little nervous and still learning but his service of my king prawn shaslick was first class. The restaurant was buzzing with a great mix from first dates, people using BSL to communicate (no I wasn't watching) and old farts like me.

Service was horrible, staff members disrespectful. I travelled 40 minutes to get to this place. Terrible. Lamb vindaloo chewy

was a great meal. But went to restaurant in December with my friend for the special banquet night. The staff were very rude and not friendly. They brought drinks to table and then said they are not doing banquet night in December. Even though the LED sign was showing it up outside and they refused.They phoned the owner and he said no. So we left. Bit of a shame as just moved here. Then we thought we had shot ourself in the foot. But we have found a restaurant with fantastic food all the staff have great customer service. And if you try them speak to Big Man He will spoil you wrotten 20 percent off take aways as well. They are called Currie Mahal Station Road Sidcup you couldnt beat them

Nice environment and delicious food. Surely recommended.

Very good food and service. Love it

Disappointed with our local as we used to be regulars. The last couple of times we thought we would try it again. Meat is really poor quality, rice was saturated in fat leaving a pool of water with the sauce. Naan breads were cold and lacked any flavour. Drink was forgotten. It’s a shame because the staff are lovely but the food has just deteriorated.

My nearest Indian restaurant that happens to be best in Sidcup and I've tried them all. Looks like an average restaurant from outside but go in and order to experience the difference. They have an extensive menu with both standard and special dishes but what I really like is the staff's willingness to customise their dishes on request. The menu stands up well against Central London gourmet restaurants like Dishoom and Chutney Mary. Normally have a weekly takeaway with occasional dining in. Highly recommended.

The food arrived very late which I would not really moan about but then also was freezing cold.. not great and the nann was not edible at all really disappointed

Such friendly staff. Food can be ordered to personal taste in way of spice and heat. Small restaurant so worth booking towards the weekend

Stayed at the travel lodge in sidcup for two days got this place recommended to me and wasn't let down the food is not only amazing its fresh and piping hot, It's also nicely priced would 100% recommend shame its not in my home town thanks for two great dinners

EXCELLENT food, best curry I’ve had (and I’ve had a few!) The service here is brilliant, Islam, Abs and the team really went out of their way and looked after us! Can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

We have been after a new favourite after our regular closed and after many months searching we have now found it. After a tiny hiccup with the pre-order service, food arriving a couple of hours early, but quickly resolved Our food (chicken vindaloo and Jalf) was amazing and will be returning. I’m sold. Thanks

Food is always perfect Great staff

Our favourite Friday night treat... always enjoy a family meal here

Tried this for the first time as I like going to all the local Indian restaurants. Was one of the top ones for me and it showed by it being reasonably busy on a Tuesday evening, clearly everyone else rates it too. Service was good too, with the waiters being friendly and easy to grab their attention.

Excellent! This was my 1st time here and I was not disappointed. The service was great the food was amazing! Thank you! I will be returning and recommending! A** also the price is brilliant so I’m sold!

Extremely happy, I really didn’t expect the food to be as delicious as it is. Looking forward to going back again

Food piping hot on a takeaway so we thought we would try eating in and it was just as good

Wonderful food for us all and not overpriced, great service, friendly staff, my vegetable curry was excellent, will definitely be back, very satisfied.

Just been for the banquet night, a little extra for the salmon But well worth it, lamb shashlick, lovely, looking forward to going back next week

Food was good, but the service & attitude of the staff was extremely rude & arrogant. Shame but we won't be back for a while, if at all.

Great restaurant. Great food and good value.

Best Indian around and lovely people

First time coming in and the service was exceptional, food flavorful and served in a timely manner. Wonderful atmosphere even in these Covid times.

Had a fabulous meal at this wonderful restaurant last night, excellent service and food was absolutely delicious. Just visiting from Spain, but in the area for a few more weeks, will definitely use again.

Fantastic food and service... Very clean too

Chicken Tikka is a must try!!! It’s soft and tender, melts in your mouth. Just try and see it for yourself

Wow! Great food, excellent authentic flavours, all the favourites but some interesting different menu items. Lovely staff.

Delicious Chicken Chadni Massala last night... It's always good but that was excellent. Thanks Darjeeling.

Best in Sidcup Just ask Gary Bushel Xx

Ambience, staff, food choices excellent 👏. Takeaway service available.

The food was amazing at this place. The waiters were extremely polite and provided an excellent service. Will definitely come back.

Went for a lovely mean at Darjeeling. The food was lovely and service fantastic. We will certainly be returning again.

Takeaway. Great service, great taste.

The restaurant was closed due to COVID, but open for take away. The food was great and the staff polite and helpful.
