The Durbar Restaurant: A Flavorful Journey into Indian Cuisine in Londonderry

Great place to get Indian food. I recommend the Lorient special chicken which is their restaurant special. It's chicken, peppers , and onions in a creamy sauce. It's not spicy though if that's what you're looking for. Very friendly service. I actually spilled my mango lassie all over the table and my clothes and the waiter offered to give me a free refill. Very clean and spacious inside.

So I ordered a chicken vindaloo an onion bhaghee, a garlic naan bread and a half tandoori chicken via Uber. What did I get, a chicken korma, and a chicken saag. 
Nothing that I wanted to eat! I was so so dissatisfied because I I was looking forwards to a meal from"one of the oldest Indian restaurants in London". If this was their fault then I can't believe they have survived this long. If it was Ubers fault then I got the wrong curry and paid £25 more than I should have! I tried to tell Uber but absolutely got nowhere! Am considering not using
Uber food again and would advise everyone to think carefully before they do!

tried this place a friend and I got the chicken vindaloo and she got the kolhapuri chicken. So good and spicy the naan was delicious as well.  The service is good and the outside seating is cute.

Since my "local" curry house closed several years ago, I have been coming to this one, and it has now become my new "local." The food is outstanding and they remember me every time I walk in the door. 

It is very clean, the food is fantastic- but make sure you know that if you request it hot- it will be HOT! 

The beer is cold, Poppadoms crisp and the food sizzling. Plus the staff are friendly and genuinely glad to see you.

Food was phenomenal, and staff is friendly and helpful! Loved the house special with the lemon rice and garlic Jann.

On a visit to England and Scotland from the States we were craving z Indian food. The place was brilliant. Super friendly, nice atmosphere and excellent food. We went with South Indian dishes and they were great. Highly recommend.

Quite nice looking place, interior has been probably renovated not so long ago.

£22 for poppadum, rice, naan and chicken tikka jalfrezi. And a large Cobra. All were clearly above the average, also size of the dish was about right. 

Here "hot" actually means something so jalfrezi certainly made my nose run. But that was in a good way! Anyway their "very hot" dishes are probably best left to the proper experts...

Maybe 1/3 full around 7pm on Wednesday evening. Service was extremely fast and friendly, I have waited far longer in many "fast food" restaurants than here. 

Would I return? Yes sure, one of the best Indian restaurants I've visited in London though not quite perfect as such

Cheap comfy easy unpretentious little place which for us fit the bill perfectly. Great spice kick and very generous servings. I have always dreamed of Indian food in London. Check another off my food bucket list.
Had the chicken Xacuti and naan with a cucumber and tomato side. The surprise was the side, fresh and clean it cut through the beautiful Xacuti and rounded out a wonderfully flavoursome meal, after which I finished off Keeno's eggplant dish and then D2's murgh makani.
And D1's naan. And some birani. I am actually starting to round out myself.
Yum

This restaurant has been around for 55 years. Can you imagine how cool that must have been, going for Indian food in Notting Hill 55 years ago? Edgy stuff. 

This is not just any Indian restaurant -- this place is absolutely delicious. My favorites include their creamy Lorient chicken, dal misron, and their rotating specials. 

Every time we come back, the staff are incredibly friendly and we feel at home here. It strikes the right balance between homey-casual and a more dressy, formal atmosphere. On top of everything, the service feels personal and from the heart. That's what makes it great for a range of occasions: dinner with work colleagues, casual dinner with friends, or a nice-but-not-fussy date.

Gluten free notes: Most Indian food is naturally gluten free and they are happy to advise on what did and didn't have gluten.
