Darshan Indian Restaurant 185 Victoria Road, Gladesville, New South Wales 2111

"We went yesterday night. We book a table throughout the fork app. The place was dirty, windows floor, they only had 3 tables but even like that they were not able to pick up the plates from the tables that left already. The plates were all in a pile on the corner at the entrance of the restaurant...the floor was dirty too and the waitress just chating on the counter instead of cleaning. The food was really bad , the momo didnt even look like momo and it was cold as well as the sauce, the lamb curry , although it had tons of spices it didnt taste to anything and the samosas such a disappointment Ill never go back to that place..."

"Where do I begin? I've frequented this restaurant on numerous occasions over the years and its always been decent. This particular visit was so disappointing. The waitress was terrible - just looked at us with no acknowledgement when we arrived. We couldn't understand anything she said, mainly because she just muttered everything. The table water had a layer of oil, as did all the plates, which my husband had to wipe down with the 'serviettes' they provided, which were the type of folded paper towels you would find in a public toilet. The 'serviettes' after the wipe down were brown - disgusting. Some of the food tasted off, naans were burnt black, dosai was overcooked and one of the curries came out with 4 small pieces of lamb. My husband said the toilets were absolutely putrid (and hes pretty forgiving). Plus the restaurant was near empty but she decided to sit us right next to this couple with two screaming/crying children. On top of that, the server said she couldnt provide change in notes and proceeded to count out silver coins, which of course I declined - tip fishing I'm sure. Now I have a terrible stomach ache. Most unpleasant meal I've had in years. Never again until new management takes over - visit at your own risk."

"The woman on the desk was so rude to my husband who asked about chickpeas and was bluntly told he wasn't saying chickpeas correctly. As far as I know it's chole in hindi and chickpeas in English so why he needed English correction I don't know. I would have tolerated such rudeness had the food been good but the chole we did get was super sweet inedible and ended up in the bin . So much for mothers day dinner. We ended up eating toast which tasted better than the food from here. And before you jump to any conclusions about what would I know about food from bharata , I have an Indian ethnic background and never had I had sweet inedible chole like this."

"Pathetic food. All burnt. Not sure how you can deliver such food. See the paneer tikka in photos."

"We visited on a Friday night and there were a few diners but not too busy. We enjoyed a range of curries, dosa and naan. Favourite was probably the dosa and Daal. Dishes were good but lacking some boldness in terms of flavour and spice, just all a bit mild tasting. Prices and serving sizes were reasonable."
