Destination India

... read more This place is a gem! Sumid was our waiter and bartender. If you go here, see Sumid! He made my mother and I coconut and mango margaritas and honestly, they were the best cocktails we’ve both EVER had! Soooo good!! For lunch we had veggie samosas, butter naan, chicken tiki masala and chicken korma. EXCELLENT! Everything was brought out quickly and hot. Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection! This place is amazing! We can’t wait to go back and try other dishes Sumid recommended. We are of Indian decent but don’t know much about the culture, so Sumid answered questions and taught us about India. He’s the best! We can’t wait to go back, this will be our new regular spot! I also loved the natural light sitting by the window watching people outside walk by. I loved that it’s located downtown Derry (an adorable downtown if you haven’t been). Parking was easy when we went. The resturant is clean, had good music and a giant bar. I’ll be dreaming of my next meal there until I return. YUM!

... read more I ordered 2 dishes, the Kashmiri lamb curry the Goat curry. Goat curry - The flavor was great, but I’m offended by the graveyard of bones I pulled out of my mouth. 75% of the dish was bones, some needle point and others bladed. Not sure if this is how this dish is made regularly but it’s extremely dangerous and unfit for any restaurant to serve to the general public. Oh we were waiting for an hour too for this dish in the restaurant without any indication of how long we’d be waiting. Not good.

... read more Today was our first, but definitely not our last, lunch at Destination India. The restaurant is clean, and the service was extremely welcoming! Our server was not only friendly and pleasant but offered whatever assistance we needed with the menu and even explained that the menu was not all inclusive so if a diner requests something that isn't specifically on the menu, they will gladly prepare it, if possible. The food is delicious, came to the table hot, and the serving sizes are generous. The nan was fresh and baked just right! Since I don't eat meat, I was particularly delighted with the vegetarian options and there were several dishes that my husband was interested in trying. We both enjoyed our selections and plan to return to continue trying other dishes in the future. I highly recommend Destination India!

... read more Great first time experience for my friends and I. The staff were friendly, and very willing to answer any questions I had. My friends and I had a delicious and filling meal that left us craving more. Half of us are vegetarian and half are omnivores, and on all fronts they impressed. The Naan was great, I've never seen so many Naan flavors.

... read more My mom and I just moved to Derry and we decided to try some Indian food downtown. This place was awesome. The staff was very friendly and professional. And the food had great flavour. The staff made sure it was made just how we like it. We will definitely be coming again.

... read more Finally stopped in to try this Indian restaurant near my home. Glad I did! The food was delicious. They even made a lamb biryani dish for me that was not on the menu. The food was fresh, large portions and the owner/chef came out to chat and make sure all was to my liking. His bartender was also sweet and made a nice cocktail. I'll be back for sure.

... read more Food was fantastic with the perfect amount of spices. Atmosphere was comfortable and the staff was outstanding. Loved our experience highly recommend.

... read more Very good and authentic Indian food! We were surprised how much attention they pay to their guests - even children, great service! Great spice level gradations for seeking something super mild or super hot. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

... read more Fun atmosphere and great service! We love Indian food and exploring new restaurants so we had to give this a try. The food was good, not out all time favorite though. The drinks where fairly small and mostly fully of ice but definitely full of flavor!
