    The location of the restaurant is really in good place and big restaurant with everything inside. The menu is great with having all kind of food. The food 🥘 really delicious but the only reason I am giving 4 stars ⭐️ 🌟 because they’re waiting time is too long, I have waited more than 45 minutes to complete my order.

    I observed the male Indian manager talking to a female Rwandan employee infron of everyone very rudely, condescendedly, and embarassingly loud. He was chastising her for... who knows what? Thats not the way you talk to any human being. I really disliked that. The food came out relatively quickly. Tastewise, was ok. Servers were nice. setup is nice.

    For the restaurant ->Any requirements you have for an absolutely revolting experience will be completely met by this establishment. Any inconvenience and disservice you can hope for will be fulfilled. Starting from the very first thing in any restaurant, the service, completely non-chalant and rude staff which will already demotivate you from placing your order. God forbid you get to that point, be ready for unhygienic, HAIR-RIDDEN food that is sure to make any sane person hurl out their guts, as it did later that night in addition to diarrhea and food poisoning. And to finish it off, make sure you're not expecting to pay with the most popular payment method (MobileMoney) in the country because they won't support that either. If any place deserves negative ratings, it's this one.

    It was like I walked into heaven. The place was a surprisingly beautiful environment. The food was beyond my expectations and the servings were NOT stingy. God!!!! Me and my husband love Indian food and what we ate was beautiful. We had biryani, kebabs, and Tikka Masada. Please just don't deny yourself the best food experience of your life. You will hate yourself that you didn't come sooner.

    I have always loved Delhi Darbar, The authentic indian food can be found in this restaurant. You will fall in love with the Bread Naan here. Nice Ambience, Free WiFi and good customer services. Rates are reasonable. However Parking space is small but ok for me. ❤️

    Had the opportunity to stay overnight in their Villas’ newly renovated rooms. I must say it was a sub par experience. The rooms lacked basic amenities like towel, glass, water and coat hangar. Infact no clothes could be hung in L the cupboard. The restaurant says it’s open for breakfast but no one from the staff was awake till 11 am. The washrooms were filthy and didn’t have running water. It was a horrible experience so I had to checkout early morning on the next day. Giving them one star coz even that can’t be removed

    Everything was good except the crunchy Momos. Also, do mention them about keep the preparation mild, else it can get very spicy.

    Very nice Indian restaurant on KG 9 ave. Doesn't look much from the outside but is actually quite nice once you walk in. Focus is on indian dishes, but also serves chinese food. We had a very nice reception as we walked in and service continued to be kind and quick through the meal.

    The interior of the restaurant is very nice and cozy, creating a pleasant atmosphere. I have visited this place several times and enjoyed their delicious food. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing good service. However, I have noticed that the restaurant manager is not always focused on customer satisfaction. It would also be helpful to have pictures on the paper menu, as visual representations can enhance the dining experience.

  • 4/5 Mohit S. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are still confused on visiting this eatery, go tonight. Clean, not so peaceful (since it's crowded by Indians most of the time) but delicious food. One of the few budget friendly restaurant in Kigali serving Indian cuisine that will surely make you droll for more. Quantity + Quality makes it the best from the rest. Enjoy!

  • 4/5 Raju T. 2 years ago on Google
    The service is good, the food is very authentic compared to other Indian restaurants in Kigali. The ambience is ok. Overall a good restaurant to taste experience indian cuisine.

  • 4/5 mercy i. 2 years ago on Google
    Serene place and good customer service but only Indian foods are sold here.

  • 4/5 Ziithe H. 5 years ago on Google
    It has a wide range of amazing and mouth watering Indian cuisine. With great customer care and waiters that will treat you like royalty and actually make recommendations for you if you're a first time visitor. The food is worth it for the prices they offer. It is a quite place which is perfect for family time, never too crowded or noisy. The slow Indian music is also a plus!

  • 5/5 Vysakh R N. 5 years ago on Google
    The Nan at Delhi Durbar ( they do not call themselves Blueberry any more) is by far the best in Kigali. All tandoori items are very good. The curries unlike many other Indian restaurants in Kigali do not all have the same base. They make their own paneer and it is really soft and tender. Their grilled paneer dishes are a must try. Tandoori chicken is also highly recommend. Usually they are fast to serve but sometimes when they are busy it can take some time.

  • 4/5 J L. 4 years ago on Google
    Best Indian food in Kigali hands down. Does not look like much but go there for the tandoorie chicken dishes, nann bread and paneer handi. Also do take aways and deliver to you.

  • 5/5 Daksha 1 year ago on Google
    Controversial opinion but they’re better than Khana Khazana! Great ambiance and great food, you must try their indo-Chinese dishes! They even gave us a complimentary dish when we went in a large group 🥰

    Ambience was good. Had great kababs & balls.

  • 3/5 David W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good Biryani..the mutton one...you are better off ordering for a home delivery. First time visit experience was good, hence decided to go back. Toilets lacked water, untidy and smelly..it didn't seem like a one off. The servers took ages to respond to calls despite the little gadgets provided at every table which I would press multiple times. I think I will go back at some point just to confirm this isn't the norm.

    Beautiful with very tasty cuisines, if you are in Kigali and haven't been here, then you need too

  • 1/5 Rihab G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food took 30 minutes to be prepared even though the restaurant was empty, only for it to be a wrong order. I asked them to change it, explaining that I ordered it plain, and that I couldn’t eat what they brought because I was allergic to it, they took it back and didn’t come back with anything for the next half hour - my friend had already finished their meal at that point. It was getting late (an hour had passed since ordering) so in order to save time, I asked them to pack the fixed order for take away. I got home and found that they’d packed the exact same wrong order for me as take away. Not going back there again, which is unfortunate because the restaurant itself is really lovely, especially at night.
