Dar's in Camden

Nice and relaxed Great food Reasonably priced too Very warm and welcoming staff

Having recently returned from India was craving a decent curry. Found Dar's, I was not disappointed, no frills, excellent Indian cuisine. Lamb vindaloo🌶️🌶️🌶️🥵 just like over there, okra, pilau, tandoori rotis. Will be back again.

10/10! Amazing food and service. Really really great.

The ambience is very good. The staff are amazing and the food is simple delicious

Amazing lamb-on-the bone curry with flavoured rice. I usually take the waiter’s recommendation & it’s been great.

Lovely secret find in Hampstead. Delicious sizzling lamb and friendly staff.

Wonderful authentic food and service

Out with Ed Sumner and the Cheese and Wine Painting Club annual jamboree. Absolutely stunning food to suit all tastes! Friendly staff. Great food! Great night! Great fun! Thankyou! Looking forward to the next visit! Jazz

Amazing food and outstanding service!! Will come back!!

Everything is great here, special shout outs to the seekh kebabs, chapali kebab, bhindi, achar chicken, keema muttar, rice and roti and naans! Avoid the fish kebabs though, sorry it came overdone and tough. But im still coming back tho!

Lovely service and delicious food! Highly recommend!

Excellent service, warm and friendly. The food is unbeatable, delicious on every level. It won’t break the bank either

Excellent food and great customer service

I finally popped in to Dar’s this evening, I must say the member of staff was friendly and pleasant. I ordered a couple of kebab rolls which were done in reasonable time and I’ve got to say were better than my expectations. The kebabs were moist and tender, the naan was well made and the sauces were delicious. Really worth the money JazaakAllaah khayran

Chefs from Lahore are cooking a range of grilled meats and Pakistani curries. The highlight for me is the Methi Chicken. Worth a detour…

Best Indian this side of haverstock hill cooking good Indian food, there is also a great vegetarian selection with a good mix of dhal, panner and aloo options. Service was great with friendly staff and very welcoming!

Food was great and the service was good.Lots of viriety to choose from.

There are only a few "Indian" restaurants that serve nihari and haleem -- recommend Dars for this as well as their other excellent dishes recommended by others.

Authentic Indian food. Really tasty. You can watch the chef make and bake the nan breads in the tandoori oven from your table. Highly recommended. Maybe book in advance as it’s a small restaurant with a faithful clientele

We have always loved these wonderful people. Glad to have been back after so long and then to have found itso brilliant again after quite a long break.

**A Culinary Gem at Hampstead Heath: Dar’s Hampstead** Located just about 200 metres from Hampstead Heath Overground station, Dar’s Hampstead offers a culinary journey into the heart of Indian and Pakistani cuisine, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. With authentic flavors and affordable prices, this spot serves not only food but a whole experience. Our meal started with the Mix Grill, which was nothing short of a feast. This generous platter had an array of delights: tender lamb kebabs, perfectly spiced shish kebabs, succulent chicken wings, juicy lamb chops, and flavorful chicken legs. Each bite was packed with layers of spices, expertly grilled to perfection. The meat was tender with a lovely char on the outside, and every mouthful felt like a celebration of the traditional flavors of South Asia. And while the food alone would have been enough to bring us back, it was the service that truly set Dar’s apart. Miltan, who served us with food, treated us with such warmth and attentiveness that it felt as though we were dining like royalty. He anticipated our needs, made excellent recommendations, and shared stories behind each dish, adding a personal touch that made the experience unforgettable. Dar’s Hampstead is not just a restaurant; it’s a hidden gem for anyone looking to savor authentic Indian and Pakistani cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you feel the warmth, and as you leave, you’re already planning your next visit. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and exceptional service.

Was here having dinner you have your chefs and waiters making jokes with each other and laughing so loud it's uncomfortable you can't even hear yourself speak. I think it is very rude and offensive if your staff behave like this while you have customers in your restaurant.

Very authentic and tasty food. Especially the grill chicken and special lamb karahi. Great value and excellent friendly customer service. Definitely worth regular visits.

Blooming marvellous ! Best lamp chops in London.

Lovely people and food been going for 7 years and I’ve never been disappointed!!!

truly superb food, in an unpretentious small restaurant near the Heath. Service is friendly, and the lamb vindaloo is divine (so does anything else, actually). My favorite Indian restaurant in London!

Super value, great atmosphere, lots of spice, hugely recommended!

The worst food in the London and the most over charge price never gona recommended any one to go there and warning for the pp around be careful you will get 🤢

I have eaten here a few times and the food has always been exceptional. It's probably the best curry I know in London. The place is centred around good food. The decor is very modest but in a pleasant way which adds all the more to the quality of the food. A resteraunt should primarily be about food and all the other stuff comes next in my opinion. The service is great, very nice chilled waiter who I usually have when i go. The price is another stand out feature of this place, its really nice prices, especially with bring your own alcohol. I wouldn't be surprised if this place was in some chefs book about places to eat in London or something, it's really a hidden gem for sure.

Recommend and would go back! There were 7 of us and tried a variety of vegetarian and meat options. Lamb tikka, chicken seekh, panned tikka, onion bhaji, lamb shashlik, lamb bhuna, palak paneer, butter chicken, potato and aubergine. Enjoyed the items from the grill very much. The mains are cooked home style which is nice. The gajar halwa made in house was also good! The place is spotless and the service attentive without being overbearing. I haven’t rated the atmosphere as it’s a small place with a few tables. We are an amateur wine group and honed in on Dar as the BYOB place to go. It delivered!

Great Food, personal service. The no frill atmosphere is perfect for the experience. Weed love to come back.

Amazing spot! Super affordable and delicious, the grilled items like chicken wings and lamb chops were delicious and amazing spice level. The curries were also very good! Staff were so accommodating to a booking of 30 people, would definitely recommend and will be back to try more 🫶

Amazing food, ordered the Bhindi Ghosht and it was one of the best curries I’ve ever had!!!! Other side of London from where I live but I will definitely be coming back

Great good value Especially lunch time deal ,, Check it out ,,! Ill be back to work my way through the menu , 'x Worked my way through the menu and its all virtually the same old basic flavour of curry sauce with only little amount of chicken , up your game guys ,!!!!

Another visit to Dar’s. So good. Faultless food. Faultless hospitality. Highly recommend and I look forward to coming back.

Delicious 😋 , excellent service.

Excellent food and even better value. A real gem in the area. The service is outstanding as well - can't recommend enough!

We went to this place as it was nearby where we were staying for our trip. We went in with average expectations and were blown away by the experience. The food was delicious. We got the Nihari and a half grilled chicken. The chicken was juicy and tender with a very good glazed sauce on top. But the real star of the show was Nihari. It was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. It is difficult to find such delicious and authentic Nihari outside of South Asia. Definitely worth a visit for a casual dinner or lunch. It will blow you away!

Unreal scenes from the team at Dar, best curry this side of the equator - highly recommend

The food is hot hot hot, so if you have milder tastes beware! The peshwari naan was the most delicious naan we have ever tasted. Mitlon provided brilliant service too...

Best curry I’ve had for a long time. Well priced. Can buy beers next door at the off licence and bring them over as well

Delicious food! The curries were very flavourful and the service was friendly. Best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. The butter chicken wasn’t as creamy as my family is used to, but very enjoyable.

We really enjoyed our evening at Dar's, an unassuming Tandoori restaurant just a few minutes walk from Hampstead Heath station. The staff here are friendly and will happily recommend dishes to your taste. They have a good range of vegetarian options available on the menu. I had the lobiya daal and my friend the karahi chicken, with naan, rice, and samosa to share. The portions are tasty, plentiful, and all reasonably priced. We'd also recommend the mango lassi. The restaurant is BYOB, and you can also order food to take away. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Amazing food , recommended to taste....

Dar’s food is delicious especially meat based items. We were in Belsize park for 3 days and almost everyday we ate at Dar’s.However If you are strictly vegetarian then should avoid this place as vegetarian items has some kind of meaty smell and taste.

Wonderful authentic food with excellent service. Lamb Nehari and Spring Lamb are brilliant and you can't beat a Tarka Daal.

Really nice food, throughly enjoyed.

The worst currys ive had in my life… watered down with zero flavour

Ordered via deliveroo and was optimistic, having read these reviews. Samosa chaat was very good. Naans were good (keema naan particularly good) But the curries were a bit bland. They weren't bad, just not good.

Pretty decent place with good Indian food options, and just a min or 2 walk from Royal Free Hospital. They offer NHS discounts and also slot takeaways, but you need to tell them about the time. The wraps are a good option for quick bite. But, if you work nearby and have time, then grab their meal deal during the lunch time throughout the weekdays.

I came to England for 12 days mild around all over England. I found this restaurant on the street of London and was by far the best food. The best service in time I had in London.

Visiting from the U.S. and this was my favorite place I've eaten at yet. The curry was excellent!!! The Samosa Chaat was possibly the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, it was packed with so much flavor. The servers and cooks were very nice and polite. Prices were fair and it was clean and safe.

Really good and authentic food! Service was top notch and the waiter was really nice to our 3-year-old daughter. We will come again! The Palak Paneer here is a winner.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had!

Great food and friendly service. Flavoursome and great value! BYO which is nice (next door). Thank you!

Wonderful food and great price. Thanks!

Milton was an incredible server. Compliments to the chef. The food was incredible!!

Best chicken korma in north London!

Delicious food. I’d love some music to be playing otherwise I’d probably dine in more. My fave is a take out

I usually go for the lunch meal deals . I got a kebab roll with Nan bread , salad, chips and drink for just £8.50. Yummy

The food was amazing, i had the chicken jalfrezi, biryani rice and paneer tikka👌🏻 also the staff was very nice!

Decent Punjabi food and well-priced. The roghni naan, mango lassi and rice were perfectly prepared. My friend really enjoyed their grilled chicken. I ordered the bhuna gosht but wasn't quite satisfied with the portion size. The staff were accommodating and friendly! I would recommend going for a well-priced Punjabi meal in Hampstead

Incredible curry for an incredible price.

Dars Restaurant is one of my go-to places whenever I’m on duty. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, making it a great value. I will definitely keep coming back.One of the best authentic indian restaurant i’ve been to. Definitely worth a try.

We had the lamb (special) and grilled chicken. The chicken was amazingly moist and the onions tasty too. The lamb went well with pilau rice. Good service - friendly people and attentive.

Amazing lamb madras and garlic naan! Friendly service, highly recommend

Delicious food, friendly service, great value - can't complain!

Beautiful food, extremely professional

Fantastic food in a cosy and comfortable BYOB restaurant. Incredible range of dishes and brilliant portion sizes. Highly recommend and family friendly!!

It’s very delicious, especially the curry is different from what I’ve eaten in China before. It’s great with rice and pancakes. It feels like the best meal I’ve had in London for so long.

Very nice people, good vibe as well as amazing food. And I mean proper amazing. I highly recommend as this is the best curry I have ever had!!!!! Would defo recommend.

Good experience..We were served well by Milton. He was really nice and kind and gave us a very satisfactory customer experience. Thank you Dar's

Food was absolutely spot on. Service was perfect, very friendly staff. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Delicious food, can recommend the succulent chicken tikka this evening. Excellent friendly service (as always) and Good prices. Never fails to please

Unpretentious and delicious. Some of the best Indian food we’ve had in London. Ee love the fish karahi, the methi gosht, and the pilau rice. The people are very friendly and there seem to be many regulars.
