Daryaganj Restaurant - North Indian restaurant in New Delhi - New Delhi, India

Tried this place as part of a stop over while travelling back to Melbourne - their butter chicken was highly recommended to us by a few friends. Found the butter chicken taste as good but not as good as what we expected it to be (hence 4 star). The service and atmosphere of the restaurant and places near by was great. I would recommend trying this place.

Nestled in the bustling heart of Aerocity, Daryagang presents a tranquil oasis with its serene interiors. But a word of advice: on weekends, ensure an early booking, or you might find yourself waiting for a table longer than anticipated. My recent visit on 2nd October provided a mix of experiences. The wait for a table, owing to our lack of reservation, was around 30 minutes. Once settled, we began our culinary journey with the mutton burrah appetizer, which, though flavorful, was a tad dry for my liking. Our main course featured chicken rara paired with laccha paratha and tandoori butter roti. Unfortunately, the chicken rara fell a bit short of expectations. We wrapped up the meal with a keser pista kulfi dessert, which was decent but not exceptional. A consistent observation from my visits is the rather cold demeanor of the staff. Their lack of warmth and welcoming gestures is noticeable, leaving one to wonder about the reasons behind their indifference. Overall, Daryagang offers an average dining experience that has room for improvement, especially in the hospitality department.

I tried this restaurant while meeting a friend coming from Canada. We wanted to try something Indian with some authentic desi food. Loved every bit of it. Tasty food, nice ambience and attentive staff

Placed on the basement in Aerocity Worldmark1. Great staff, even though we did not have a table reserved, they tried to accommodate us at the earliest. I am not saying that they deviated to give us seats. But they did their best. Heera was the guy who took our orders and he was patient to help us with the right ones. Food was hot and tasty. Even after the final ordering time, we still asked for another curry, and he was glad to try push the kitchen to make us tht extra one. These kind of staff is required to keep you smiling and enjoy your day at a restaurant. Hats off to the team, especially to Heera.

So this outlet of Daryaganj in Aerocity was the first one to open back in 2019! But I only visited this place a few days a go for the first time to see if the Shark Tank India hype was real. The place serves 2 kinds of Butter Chicken. One is the Original 1947 Butter Chicken and the other is Today's Butter Chicken. Looking at the names on the menu it feels like one is a stale item and the other is freshly prepared on the same day, but it actually means it is cooked in the way it was cooked in 1947 and the other one is more modern. So since the hype was around the Original 1947 Butter Chicken, we ordered that along with 1947 Dal Makhni, Chicken Malai Tikka and Subz Biryani. The Butter Chicken has a coarse gravy owing to the handcruched tomatoes because they didn't have blenders back then. Even though they mention using only butter in this, the Butter Chicken lacks the flavour and fragrance of butter. As you eat, you get only the tomato flavour and after a point you feel the raw tomato flavour. Should have gone for Today's Butter Chicken. The Dal Makhni on the other hand was absolutely delicious. It was creamy and flavourful and you can just have it by itself! The Malai Chicken Tikka wa smildly flavoured and the chicken was moist and juicy!! The service here is very prompt and the outlet has a beautiful ambiance. It sure is a pricey place, but definitely worth visiting.

So ordered bharwan paneer tikka from Daryaganj restaurant and I just loved the packaging. Two glass bottles filled with mint chutney and sirka onion, paneer tikka in good quality disposable with saunf and mishri in small cardboard packages. It was simply great 1. Taste was delicious 2. After having that, there wasn't any place for dinner in my belly 3. The packaging was great and I m keeping that with me

Wow! The best Butter Chicken I have had for some time. This restaurant advertises that it is the inventor of the original Butter Chicken and offers the original, less creamy, version on the menu as well. (I highly recommend you try the original recipe). So food quality was excellent and not too expensive BUT... The service was SO slow. The restaurant was busy in the early afternoon I visited. However, there was a table for my group. The waiter took ages to deliver the menus, then ages to get drinks order, then ages to take the food order. Must have been nearly 1 hour from entering to getting food on the table. I hope this was unusual or this restaurant won't survive.

There is a reason why this restaurant has such a grand legacy and is famous. I went there along with my family and it tirned out to be best decision. We celebrated our new year with all the other customers. The food is delicious. Their daal makhni is awesome. There pineapple mojito is a must try those who like sweet drinks. Service is up to the mark.
