Dalchini - London

We visited earlier on a monday evening and booked just in case, but it was relatively quiet. Very nice setting with a calm and pleasant ambience. We had crispy mushrooms and vegetable crispies for starters both were absolutely exquisit, some of the best starters that I have had in a long while. This was followed by excellent mains, in particular the manchuria chicken with its rich deep flavours accompanied by the burnt garlic rice and some lovely noodles. Every dish was delightful. The service was also excellent, welcoming, accommodating, and helpful. While we were there, a family of about 14 arrived without booking. Amazingly, the restaurant took it in their stride and handled what must have been an unusual occurrence for the relatively small restaurant very well. Overall, it was an excellent restaurant, one of the best I have been to in a while.

We had an amazing birthday meal here last week. Indo chinese is one of my favourite cuisines and the restaurant didn't disappoint me. I loved their starters especially soups and gobi manchurian. I like their mains as well but felt the noodles lacked flavour. Having said that I am beyond satisfied with the meal. The ambience is top class and the service is warm and courteous. We ended our meal with coconut and lemongrass panna cota- it was extraordinarily tasty.

Lovely little restaurant, close to the tube and bus stops. We had lamb with red chilli and Hakka Chilli chicken. Both were lovely and flavoursome. We had one rice between us with Hakka Aubergine as a veg. All lovely and we will come back again.

We went for dinner. Was told it was very good and was hoping to try some good Indo Chinese but felt disappointed. The mock tail was a rip off for 8 such a tiny glass- very average. The starts were good but tiny portion. The main was a big let down. The Thai red curry was very average ,the rest also don’t taste good. I will not be going again for sure . I hope they look into this and improve their taste and quality if they charge this much.

This is simply our favourite restaurant! The food is like nothing else we have tasted anywhere. We are vegetarian and recommend the crispy mushrooms, the ginger paneer and the Manchurian dishes, but everything is fantastic. The service is superb and very friendly. It is not particularly expensive. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
