Reviews of Archana Restaurant

P. S.

Very tasty authentic indian food, enjoyed my birthday family dinner here today. Went again yesterday, so adding more pics to old review.

P. K.

The food quality is good. Some of the dishes needs to be authentic Indian. I just tried once during my stay at Belfast. However, you will enjoy the food and ambiance.

A. G.

Ultimate taste, close to authentic Indian taste. Would highly recommend.

P. L.

Must visit. My regular place to enjoy the best Indian cuisine. Absolutely delicious and authentic Indian menu. Great service, friendly staff, communicative and caring. Best Indian restaurant in Northern Ireland. Food+service=5 star

s. s.

We went for dinner to this place with our Guatemalan friends. Tried veg Manchurian which was way too different that what we have it here in India. Also tried paneer tikka masala with roti and not only our friends, but we loved it too. The staff is helpful and polite. Ambience is great

J. M.

Food was good and nicely presented although complimentary poppadoms would have added to the experience. Nice wine but a little expensive.

P. O.

Very nice place. Curries are served in a large dish. Serves bottles of Cobra. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Good if you are heading to the cinema or going for a drink in one of the nearby bars.

L. B.

We visited tonight…. We were looked after starter and main were really pukka

J. S.

Have dined at this restaurant since 1994. Staff and owner very friendly and the food is excellent.

j. g.

We arrived in Belfast and really fancied an Indian meal , the place is small but pleasant, choice of beers was just cobra but it ok , now the food was absolutely beautiful, I had a starter, main and couldn't move after really top notch food, would definitely return when in Belfast again

v. r.

Non veg was good. But vegetarian was not good and we felt it was cooked a day before.

E. C.

Don't believe the negative reviews. This place is excellent. Pretty standard Indian restaurant prices, very nice staff and the food is just awesome. Can't fault it!

M. C.

This is my all time favourite Indian restaurant to go...we go here probably once a month or every 6 weeks and thats probably because we would be ashamed to go every week! Everything is just spectacular, from the ambience, to the staff, to the food! If you're a spicy junkie, this is definitely the place to go! It excites me every single time! And the mango dessert they have, I have been so sad they haven't been doing their desserts lately because of covid but I can recommend 10000% that this is not only top Indian restaurant, but my absolute favourite restaurant to go, ever!

P. F.

Great little authentic Indian restaurant excellent food

n. d.

M. S.

Delicious chicken thali and good service

B. P.

Authentic Indian cuisine, friendly staff.

b. k.

Terrific delivery service from a restaurant I am previously familiar with eating out in. First time using their delivery option. Food arrived 10 minutes early which was perfect. Top marks for the food itself!

K. M.

A party of 7 of us went, the staff were very friendly and attentive- especially in regards to dietary requirements. Everyone of us thoroughly enjoyed the meal and definitely will be back again. (The menu also boasts over 13 vegan options!! fantastic)

S.

Best Indian food I had in Belfast. We had Prawns Chettinad & Chicken Chilli Masala. Taste was authentic. A must try if you are searching for Indian food We are travelling around UK and Northern Ireland. And my mom and dad really had a tough time managing with food at most places we visited. This was a first place where they really loved the food.

F. A.

Good food, quantity could be better..

J. P.

The best Indian carry out I've had in Belfast. Quality food and glad it was recommended to me. The staff are helpful and friendly too. Delicious food.

M. T.

I have been going here for 8 years and it has been absolutely amazing. It’s cooked straight out of the kitchen and the waiting times are fantastic. The food is great and I would definitely recommend.

R. G.

The best Indian restaurant in Belfast. It caters for vegetarians, carnivores and vegans. I wholeheartedly trust this business in providing me with a vegan meal. I love this place.

P. M.

Visited Christmas week with a group of mates. Excellent food and service. The staff are very accommodating. The mild to hot scale on the menu is conservative so don't be afraid to try a little hotter than normal, obviously washed down with a few Cobra beers.

P. K.

Wonderful Punjabi food, went to cinema & wanted something to eat after, walked up one side of the Dublin road and down the other reviewing all the menu's. My partner is a "bit" fussy & suffers from IBS. We agreed on the Archana and delighted we did. Although it was after 21:00 we were warmly welcomed. I had a beer and one of the USUAL dishes (Turlough's special Karachi) and my partner had lamb bhuna although it wasn't on the menu. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was delicious best Indian we have both had in Belfast.

D. M. K.

Excellent experience at this great restaurant. Service was brilliant, staff recommended starters and mains and were excellent. Highly recommend, support local independent businesses.

T.

Great place to eat. We have had our Indian colleagues over to Belfast and have taken them to several indian restaurants. They always wanted to go back to Archana. Lunches are also superb too. You can get a meal in here for less money than a sandwich out of some shops. Great food and nice staff. Do yourself a favour and try it out. Highly recommended.

I. m.

Great menu for Gluten and dairy free.. I would be giving them 6 stars if there was six.. Top class..

E. B.

Oct 2016: I visited Belfast and ate at Archana three times because the food was so good. It was fragrant, spicy, tasty, and steaming hot. Portions are very generous. Really nice staff too. Highly recommended.

J. M.

Just up for the weekend and was looking through different restaurants in the area. Found this place and read some of the reviews. Tried the book online got an email to confirm the booking arrived at correct time and sat down to enjoy a beautiful meal along with a bottle of wine. (total after 2 starters and 2 main courses with 1 side and 1 bottle of wine was extremely reasonable) 1st time visiting and visited on people's reviews. (from managing a business myself I understand how reviews are extremely important for family run business. All in all I would deffo come back. Gr8 experience

D. W.

Arrived without a reservation,restaurant fully booked ,but with a bit of moving things around the staff managed to find us a table. Excellent first class service! Excellent first class food! Excellent staff! This is why I keep going back.

D. n.

Five stars for the food and service. My only criticism is that the menu was greasy to the touch and almost put me off staying for dinner. Im Glad I did stay as the food was delicious. Guys, wipe the menu's with warm soapy water, it will keep fussy diners like me happy!

A. S.

Seriously have to agree - no idea why such negative reviews! fabulous wee restaurant, fantastic good and friendly accommodating staff - nothing too much trouble. We like authentic Indian food and have never had a bad meal and we have been going regularly for over 15 years. Ignore the bad reviews and judge for yourself!

A. B.

Went for lunch and had their vegan thali. It was very tasty and only £5. They also have a massive selection of vegan curries on the main menu too. The service was 10/10, very friendly and helpful.

C. M.

Actually can't believe some of the reviews of Archana on here. It is truely one of the best restaurants in Belfast. The food is top notch and the service is good. It has a large vegetarian and vegan menu, but for me the lamb dishes are sensational. Don't believe the negative reviews, I'm not sure what their angle is.

P. D.

One of the oldest Indian restaurants in Belfast, for a good reason. The food is great. Plenty of vegetarian options and everything is gluten free. Very relaxed atmosphere.

P. M.

Best Indian restaurant in Belfast, very original and great service.

C. P.

Good food and service. Told us we had to book meercat offers 24hrs in advance however a couple came in when were there and they told them that they were only valid on lunch times. Appears they don't want people to use them offers. None the less the food was good.

S. B.

The last time we were in Belfast five years ago we discovered this gem of a restaurant. As we are born and grew up in Bradford we are well qualified to comment and Archana is well worth the journey. Every item was freshly made, plenty of meat and presented by excellent staff....we were welcomed as old friends. Thank you all....you deserve the five stars.😌

A. M.

Fantastic and extensive vegan menu. Very tasty food at affordable prices. Very friendly and helpful staff. Loved it! Highly recommend.

K. P.

Good food served. Apt spice level. We were surprised (happily) about the food quality. Service was good. Would definitely visit again if visiting Belfast.

A. L.

Best Indian and best value for money. I go every couple of weeks and get the same quality staff who are friendly and welcoming. The food matches and i have never left not satisfied. I would reccommend to everyone to give it a try.

A. W.

Excellent service, pleasant surroundings and generous portions of delicious & well presented food . We were in the more spacious upstairs dining area and had a lovely evening with friends. Honestly can't fault it, and will definitely be back.

a. s.

My husband and I happened to vvisit belfast for 2 days .we had dinner on both days. Quality of food was good..our favourites were chicken tika and chicken tikka puri .

Super quick with the delivery. And the food, oh my, from the Alu Chole Chat and the Daal Tarka to the Karahi Gosht, it was first rate. Aromatic and flavoursome with just the right amount of heat. Combine that with generous portions and I can guarantee that Archana will become my go-to curry house.
