Darjeeling

Came a couple of years ago food was nice but service was rude so didn’t come again till yesterday.
The staff was throwing out plates at the table and were very rude.
My chicken pakora when cut was a perfect rectangle and tasted like frozen chicken nuggets.
One of the curries from our group of seven literally tasted like tomato ketchup.
My brothers vegetarian dishes were the only decent diahes which is a stretch saying so.
In addition his dish was competely forgotten and then was «cooked» in 2 minutes which im assuming was microwaved.
My biriani tasted like the regular rice and not close any decent buriani i have ever had before.
Our whole group agreed that the aesthetic of the restaurant was very ugly and the service was very rude and seemed not to care.
We left moat of our food and just ate out of hunger.
Plus the worker who was not the boss was cleaning his nose and coughing on his sleeves which is unsanitary.
Someone please open an Indian restaurant here you would take all the business.
If you know a think about Indian/​Bangladeshi food you know this is not it. Having been o both countries and lived in the Indian sub continent for 6 years is my experience with curry. And you can get great curries in Edinburgh or really any other restaurant.
We have come for several years andnthw quality was always OK at best 3 starts but the service has slipped and would recommend to stay away.

Decent Indian food at a reasonable price. You’ll find all the British curry house favorites on the menu.
The veggie versions of the standard curries can be a little hit and miss but the vegetable based dishes are always good.
We regularily come here for an after work curry with colleagures.

Darjeeling boasts a good reputation and rightly so. We went on a lunch time, for a a brilliant deal of £5pp for 2 courses. The food is fresh and delicious and the service was second to none. I have heard that a booking is essential for Friday/​Saturday nights.
The décor is ‘modern’ and I think it has recently been refurbished. Parking is over the road or at the public car park a couple of minutes walk away.
A strange place for an Indian in a lot of respects, but it works well… so that’s what matters!
