  “Very disappointing experience. We travelled all the way from Edinburgh after booking a table for 8:45 PM on 2/8/2026, but when we arrived the staff couldn’t even find our booking. After refreshing the system, they found it and then told us the kitchen would close at 9:15 PM and the restaurant at 9:30 PM. If that’s the case, why accept bookings at 8:45? The lady at the front desk was very rude, had a lot of attitude, and wasn’t welcoming at all. We ordered 5 Mango Lassis, 2 Samosas, Chicken Tikka, Shahi Paneer, Garlic Chicken, Chicken Madras, and 6 Plain Naans (£114 total). They only served 2 lassis at first, the Garlic Chicken tasted like pickles, the Shahi Paneer was overloaded with cardamom (elaichi), and the plain naan was greasy with butter. To make things worse, they were still seating new customers around 9:10 PM. We spent £114 and left disappointed. I work in hospitality myself, so I know what good customer service looks like, and this wasn’t it. I wouldn’t recommend this place.”

  “Very disappointing experience at Namaste by Delhi Darbar, Glasgow. We booked a table for 8:45 PM today 2/08/26 and arrived at 8:50 PM. Instead of welcoming us, the waitress was rude from the moment we entered. She couldn't find our booking at first, then immediately told us the kitchen would close at 9:15 PM making us feel rushed. If the kitchen closes that early, why accept our booking? What was even more surprising was that they seated new customers after 9:10 PM. The waitress had no smile, spoke rudely, ignored our requests, showing attitude and even got our order wrong by bringing only 2 mango lassis instead of the 5 we ordered. The food was very disappointing. The Shahi Paneer was overloaded with cardamom, the Garlic Chicken tasted sour like pickle, and the plain naans were covered in butter/oil. We were all very hungry, which is the only reason we managed to eat a little of the food. Otherwise, we would have left it untouched. A waiter later came to ask how the food was. We honestly shared our experience, but instead of offering to replace the dishes he simply said, Sorry for your bad experienceand walked away. We travelled all the way from Edinburgh after reading the good reviews, but left feeling unwelcome and disappointed. The owner should seriously improve both the customer service and food quality. I would not recommend this restaurant. Thank you for ruining our friendship day..”

  “Had a wonderful dining experience at Namaste by Delhi Darbar! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and every dish was prepared to perfection. A special mention goes to the masala chai—rich, aromatic, and one of the best I’ve had. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The service was equally outstanding. Jaslin was incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Her friendly attitude and excellent hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable”

  “The food was a mixed experience. We ordered two curries, and the Chicken Korma was definitely the standout dish. The coconut flavor worked really well with the curry, and it paired perfectly with the rice. The Mango & Ginger Lassi was also refreshing and enjoyable. For starters, I would recommend the pani puri, which came filled with yogurt, potatoes, and chickpeas and had a great balance of textures and flavors. However, the other small plates we tried were fairly underwhelming and not something I would order again. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. We waited over 10 minutes just to place our order, and there were also long waits for the food and later for the bill. What made this more disappointing was that the restaurant automatically added an 11% service charge. We paid it, but based on our experience, I did not feel the level of service justified the extra charge. There were also several small details that affected the experience. My Mango & Ginger Lassi was served with some of the drink spilled down the outside of the glass, and I had to wipe it clean myself. When we paid in cash, our change was not returned straight away, and it seemed like the staff member had to go to the back to get it, which added to the delay. The seating arrangement was also a bit odd. We visited in the afternoon when the restaurant was fairly quiet and there were several more spacious tables available, but we were initially seated in a corner. One side of the seating had a panel behind it, meaning the chairs could not be pulled out properly, so my friend and I were squeezed together on the same side of the table. We were only moved after my friend raised the issue. One final question: is water only available on request? We were never offered any water during our visit, which felt unusual compared to most restaurants. Overall, the Chicken Korma was excellent, but the slow service, seating issues, and automatic service charge made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been. If the restaurant is struggling to keep up with service, it may be worth considering adding more staff.”

  “If comfort had a flavour, it’d be served in a bowl of spice at Namaste. From the moment you walk in, the place wraps round you like warm naan straight out the tandoor. The atmosphere is relaxed but buzzing, that perfect middle ground where you can settle in without feeling rushed. The staff are genuinely lovely too, attentive without hovering, and always happy to guide you through the menu if you’re torn between options. Now, the food… absolutely packed with flavour. Every dish feels like it’s been cooked with care rather than rushed out. The curries are rich, aromatic, and properly satisfying, with just the right balance of heat and depth. The chicken was tender, the sauces silky, and the sides like pilau rice and naan tied everything together perfectly. Portions are generous, so you definitely won’t leave hungry, and everything arrives fresh and piping hot. Overall, Namaste is one of those places you’ll find yourself thinking about the next day, craving “just one more bite.” Whether it’s a casual dinner or a catch-up with friends, it hits the spot every time.”

  “We walked into this restuarant, there was a very weird smell, i don't know what scent they were pumping into the air but it wasn't pleasant smelt a bit like menthol or vicks, this was a very overpowering smell making it uncomfortable eating inside. The staff were the best bit about the place, i hope you look after the staff and give them some pay rises especially since your prices are sky high and portions are tiny. The popadoms only came with one sauce which is pretty lame, We ordered one dish between me and my brother mix grill thinking it would be pretty big as it is in most places, this one was very expensive here, so when we recieved it, 2 pieces of everything apart from lamb chops and tandoori leg there was only 1 piece, this was very poor portion size for a main course, this is usually a mix grill size for a starter everywhere else. The food itself was nice apart from the sheek kebabs they tasted a bit odd. Chicken wings were also not the best, chicken tikka was lovely and so was the tandoori leg. The only thing this place has going for it is the staff is lovely, cmon boss owner sort the food out and portions. I don't remember the last time i spent close to £100 and left hungry like this occasion”

  “This was our recent visit to Namaste by Delhidarbar at St Enoch Centre and I can confidently say that the NEW Canteen Menu deserves way more hype. This menu is all about beautiful flavours, proper comfort food and it’s absolutely amazing (and wallet-friendly)👏 Here’s what we tried from both menues: 🥙Mini poppadoms with spiced onions: it was light, crunchy, the perfect start 🔥 Masala chicken wings: oven-baked, packed with spice, and super addictive 🥦 Vegetable pakora: golden and crisp 🍛 Chicken butter masala; it was rich, comforting, medium heat, and full of flavour 🍚 Basmati rice + sweet naan: essential, obviously 🌯 Chicken pakora naan wraps: elite canteen food, my favourite dish on the menu (Canteen) 🥔 Chicken chasni baked potato: sweet, saucy, and super cheesy (Canteen) Finished with a chai tea that tasted like dessert ☕ The place was lovely and cosy with great service, and food you definitely want to eat again. Simple, comforting, and full of flavour… but what’s your thoughts on it? I review Glasgow food spots so you don’t waste your money! Follow for honest reviews & hidden gems”

  “My Husband and I visited for the 1st time for lunch and the food was delicious. The cocktails were on offer and we tried a few. I can confirm they were so good! The best one was spiced apple and pear mojito. Highly recommend. We were served very quickly by Hemant, who was helpful and pleasant. The restaurant was beautiful to look at. Lovely atmosphere.”
