Darjeeling in Lewisham

The manager of this place is very rude. I don't recommend going there at all. He misbehaves with guests

We had reserved a buffet lunch at this place, which was supposed to start at 1:00 PM. We arrived at 1:30 PM, but the food still wasn’t ready. After waiting until 2:00 PM, we asked the manager about the buffet offerings, and he told us the items would be "random." We simply wanted to decide whether to go with the buffet or order à la carte, but instead of assisting us, he accused me of being rude and started arguing, claiming I lacked patience. The atmosphere and hospitality were extremely disappointing, so we decided to leave without eating.

Great food, friendly polite delivery, we will definitley be ordering again, thank you

fantastic food would definitely recommend

We ordered dinner through Deliveroo, and we were very disappointed. There was no tracking time for the order, which eventually took an hour and 20 minutes to be prepared and delivered. We called the restaurant a few times, but nobody picked up. Then the driver arrived at the wrong building and unfairly blamed us for putting the wrong address. The food itself tasted good.

Darjeeling restaurant as youknow you can't beat it.

I absolutely love the food at the Darjeeling restaurant and would recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal :)

Food perfect as always. Been ordering from here for years, no other Indian restaurant will do.

Consistently good . Another great meal delivered tonight .Was on time and the delivery man was friendly and polite . Food was excellent and an item that was missed on last order was included this time. Delivered a new menu with some new choices on so look forward to trying them . Have eaten in the restaurant also .

Went for my Birthday, the food was exceptional, staff are friendly and the service great. The lamb madras was the best I have eaten

The quality of the food was very poor. All the food was cold and the chicken tikka masala balti was very watery and lacked the flavour I was expecting - it well below the standard I am used to from this restaurant.

if I could give ten stars I would fresh hot and full of flavour so happy to find a restaurant that produces consistent quality and tasty food

2nd time ordering and have to say wasn't let down the meal I had come with king prawn normal prawns lamb tikka , and chicken tikka and chilli with plain rice had to check is wasn't a meal for two as there was so much nice little lunch for tomorrow 100% will be ordering again delivery driver was very polite

Great food, generous portions and good delivery time.

very happy with the food, arrived hot and fresh, looking forward to the next meal thank you very much

Food was lovely, definitely order again

The food portions were huge! Really delicious, arrived piping hot too. Would recommend. I got the butter chicken and the Rogan josh prawn dish. Ordered some sides too. The paneer with peas is great too.

Love this place. Food and service both excellent, and their poppadoms are the best poppadoms in the history of the world! 10/10

Great food and great service 👍 👌 👏

One of the worst chicken curry dishes I’ve ever had. This was once a great eatery with value for money prices but it’s gone downhill considerably. No hot plates any more for the dishes to stay hot. The starters wasn’t too bad but the curry was dreadful. It didn’t even look like a curry. Darjeeling please review things and get this place back to the good standard it once was. Until then I’m afraid we won’t be returning. Such a shame as we loved this place.

wow!! I had eaten from here a few time but it was years ago, but I dont think I've ordered from here, if I have it hasn't been for a very long time, I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty & fresh the food was, the chicken the lamb was all so juicy tender & made fresh with delightful flavours. the peawn puri also so nice and fresh puri bread flurry & light not oily & thick like other places. top marks from me. exactly how ite supposed to be. very delighted, I'd highly recommend.

I had chicken biryani, the chicken was very chewy. The vegetable curry, the peas were like stones. It wasn’t an enjoyable meal. It was disappointing

just finished an excellent take away 21/7@18.30. prompt delivery . Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Lemon chicken chana and lamb jalfrezi were amazing . Great value . Darjeeling never lets us down.Highly recommended.

Had a take away, which arrived on time. Food was really good and tasted really good. Would highly recommend and will be using this again.

Food was perfect, wouldn’t get Indian food anywhere else.

Always prompt, good food and a friendly face

Ordered at 6.45 and food arrived at 8.30, I ordered a lamb bhuna but revived a very watery chicken bhuna, very disappointed tonight

Nice food but cold, driver angry I didn’t answer but didn’t use the bell!? Usually brilliant must have been an off day.

You have my permission to use my email address

Fantastic food at very reasonable price.

Food was perfect as always. Wouldn’t order Indian food from anywhere else.

Always my go too Indian delicious

The Darjeeling never fails to deliver great food. All of the dishes were so tasty, great portions, and the food was hot. Thank you.

although it was a little later, it was worth waiting for. absolutely delicious 🤤

It’s not that it’s late - traffic can be a problem for anyone - it’s that they didn’t communicate. I got the delayed delivery message, so there was clearly a problem, but then the delivery was 40-50 minutes later than the revised time.

The pilau rice that comes with the main dish (shank of lamb) was missing from my order.

We ordered too many sweet dishes, but the food itself was good. I would come again and try a different combination.

The food is good but the grilled stuff smells amazing. I regret not getting all the sizzling dishes

Ordered a large amount for a work event. Delivery was quick, the food was unreal, the labelling was precise and made dishing up easy! Would 110% recommend and will definitely be ordering again.

Top quality food, delivered quickly. Just moved to area and this was a great discovery.

Still my favourite Indian restaurant in London. This time it was a little busier than usual so ended up being quite a long wait but food is always excellent.

First time I ordered the food from this restaurant, it was bland and quite poor in taste. I thought that was a one-time aberration. So I ordered again today. The food is even more disappointing and lacks any discernible taste. On top of that, the delivery was delayed. I had to direct the delivery person (from the restaurant, not just eat delivery driver) to my door over phone. If you like your curry/Indian meal, I would not recommend ordering from this restaurant!!

Food was out for delivery for around 40 minutes before it arrived, meaning it was only lukewarm, but the taste was good as always.

You give away free stale poppadoms. The king prawn puri bread was thick and stodgy. Disappointing as it is normally very nice

amazing hot food and driver was very polite.

Lovely food and the driver is very friendly nice to have food on time tasty

Love there food! Always freshly made wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Best Indian restaurant in Lewisham highly recommended 👍👏🌶 They last year and this year best Indian restaurant in town

I have been going to Darjeeling Indian Restaurant for years they have always maintained their high standards in delivering great food and 5 star service

As always delicious and as always piping hot….won’t go anywhere else thanks again

Food is amazing I cannot deny that but as this restaurant assign their own drivers, it doesn't provide live track time of arrival. Anyhow, food does arrive and is definitely worth of the wait. Love Darjeelings 🫶🏼

Food tasted good but portion sizes alot smaller than usual

The delivery driver is perfect to his very friendly and goes out his way

used to be better, circa 2018. now in 2023 with a change of management, it's noticeably worse.

Good food and arrived hot... What more could you want?

Asma Khan is an inspiration in my life as a Bengali woman who values the deep connection between food and identity. The dedication to culture, cooking and entrepreneurship was evident throughout my dining experience. Eating food that I grew up eating in my home as a child in a fine dining restaurant was both therapeutic and eye opening. The Kosha mangsho fell off the bone, and was clearly cooked with intricacy. The Bombay chili cheese toastie (one of Asma's childhood favourites) was simply delightful. Dipping the airy bread with cheese & fried onions in the perfectly herbed/citrusy coriander chutney left my mouth watering for days. I would recommend anyone visiting or living in London who is interested in experiencing Bengali food to come to this establishment. Finish the meal with Masala chai, and feel comfort and sweetness in your heart. 🩷🩷🩷 Thank you Asma, your restaurant is a beautiful feminist representation of Bengali food in the fine dining world of the West.

Excellent food as always lovely and hot fresh food no complaints definitely always enjoy the food here 100 per cent

A local gem with reliably above standard food and lightning quick delivery (mind you, I don't live far :) Naans are nice and warm on arrival, curries are at the upper part of the scale in terms of quality. My go-to for Indian locally

Absolutely shocking food no taste no heat extremely bland waste of money

Driver got lost / was outside wrong house, had to chase up the street after him. Food was quite cold.

Food was stone cold and inedible thrown in bin absolutely atrocious what a shambles. GIVE IT A MISS. How about a refund

Our go to choice most weeks, especially good tonight thanks!

Best Indian around lewisham. Fresh. Hot. Spicy ❤️

By far the best Indian takeaway for miles around…our food is always delicious can’t fault it at all

My food hasn’t turnt up yet ????? Where is it

Good food as always, Ali is a great guy, always greeting me by my name like we have been friends for years

Fantastic service a great tasting food, especially the King Prawn Puree.

Lovely yummy Indian I definitely recommend

The food tasted great and the delivery driver was friendly too. Thank you. I would definitely recommend this place.

I did not receive the order iv been trying to contact uber eats by phone with no luck

Overall the order was ok. Some of the items were a bit bland, except one side which was over salty. The quality here is usually great so this felt like just an off day, but I still enjoyed the meal and it'll continue to be my regular place. Order arrived earlier than expected too which is always appreciated. I swapped here from my old regular place because the old place were regularly an hour late towards the end, but I've never had a late order from here, they've been early every time I ordered.

Best Indian restaurant! Lovely staff and amazing food

Great food and extra great service from Ali

Fantastic food. Enjoyed every last bite!

Food was delayed and delayed, then app said it had been delivered and it still arrived over the latest suggested time on the delivery.

After waiting for 2 hours for our food with 1 hour being over the delivery time, the food was lukewarm, oily and not very tasteful. Its a shame as the food here always use to be nice but hadn't ordered from here for a while and definitely won't order again after this. There wasn't even any competently poppadoms etc for the delay.

Food come stone cold and they lied about delivering food when it hadn’t been, never ordering from here again unfortunately

Food lacked any flavour at all tonight, the lamb bhuna was FULL of tomato, there was more tomato than lamb

60 minutes late disgusting food was so bland will never waste my time and money again on this vile food and the fact I sent a message for them to text me and still now no text… appalling service

Lamb was cooked perfectly, only downside was the containers were only half full

Stunning and amazing menu, will definitely be ordering again

Always fantastic, really hot, always have a mixed tandoori ,

I’ve eaten Xacuti many, many times and this was nothing like the others I’ve eaten. There was a wired slimy texture to the sauce that reminded me of packet mixes. The Sag Paneer had way too much onion which was under cooked.

Nothing short of amazing. Definitely worth every penny

Great food as always, thought we would give the lamb bhuna a try and it's amazing

Fantastic food and excellent service provided by Ali - I definitely recommend and will order there again

Good food & good friendly service from delivery person Ali, always polite and professional.

Food was FANTASTIC oh my goodness the chicken I had snobby left over for next day and it tasted even better. The korma is so sweet and succulent and the peshwari naan to die for. Love this place been using for years.

Beautiful as always. Best curry house in the area

The customer service and food is always 10/10. They go the extra mile to make me happy. Been ordering from them for around year and half now an I have never been disappointed! Best Indian around!

Indian food in England so much better than U.S.A. especially this restaurant. Love the atmosphere and quality and freshness of the food amazing. Highly recommend this place. Lastly the owner is very attentive. Much love.

Fantastic food. Chilli and coriander Naan blows your socks off. Very pleasant place to pick up from, will eat there next time. 😜

Collected a take away. Everything was really fresh, hot and delicious. Thank you!

Good food, delivery at the max time stated (Not earlier).

Food was great as always, special thanks to Ali the delivery driver for being so helpful

Husband loved the shank of lamb. I am about to order again for him 😁

Always great food nice and hot on arrival great portions and flavours always perfect the go to curry house in south east London never disappoints!

Second time ordering both times took over an hour to deliver both times food was cold so won’t be ordering again ..

The best 😍 huge portions and delicious

Had a really good meal here on Saturday evening whilst staying the weekend near Lewisham. Food was very tasty & large portions. Staff were very friendly & gave great service. I would definitely go back if in the area again.
