First time experience trying out Indian food in Nairobi.
It was my first time trying out Indian cuisine at Darwar restaurant. I have always loved my food a little spicy and quite hot. I thought Darwar opens all day and hadn’t quite looked at the opening times. It turns out that Darwar is one of those restaurants that open for about 2-3 hours during mealtimes, three times a day. Given that we had gotten lost a couple of times enroute to the location, we arrived quite late- just as they were about to close up after lunch. However, they were nice enough to still let us in. The restaurant overlooks Parklands area and you have an awesome view if you decide to sit by window. The menu has a vegetarian and non-vegetarian option. We ordered the non- vegetarian option which consisted of rice, chicken curry, bean stew and naan bread for two. The food comes with mild, medium and hot sauces as dip options. The curry was absolutely delicious and the naan was soft and buttery. The food was ravishing. They had however neglected to indicate to us which sauces were hot and we had to find out for ourselves via trial and error. The prices are friendly and the tables sit around 3-4 people each. This would be a great place for a family lunch or dinner and I would rate it as an Indian restaurant that is worth trying out! The service was amazing, given that they served us while the restaurant was closed and didn’t hurry us at all. I loved the food and I will definitely go back.
