Reviews of Darbucka

We used the 50% off your food deal at Darbucka which turned out to be good value. The starters tasted great and were well presented and although both myself and my girlfriend were not impressed with the vegetable Moussaka the mains were pretty good! Service was excellent until we asked for the bill...15mins later we asked a 2nd time then were disappointed that the waitress (who only had 3 tables) took another 10 mins or so to collect payment. A nice meal on the whole but i prob wont return

The food at Darbucka was very nice, and great value for money. Quite a lot of food and at the special offer (50% off the set menu), it was great value for money. The only downside was the restaurant was quite noisy--seems a lot of people there in large groups having dinner before going to the club downstairs. Tables upstairs, then, were a bit cramped, but overall, an enjoyable experience.

Lets start with the important bit- the FOOD. Coming for a half itailan half middle-eastern family, we grew up with standards of food. I must say that I was surprised by the freshness and great taste of everything. Ordering tabouleh in London you never know if you'll get freshly chopped products, just as well as the couscous and I must say IT WAS ALL FRESH AND EXTREMELY TASTY. unfortunately I couldnt say the same about the waitering. despite being nice they arent really good at their job...

Great atmosphere in the music lounge - fab venue for a party. Restaurant was nice too but there wasn't anything really original or great about the food - pretty average lebanese cuisine...

Set menu was very good. You get all of the hot and cold starters, then choose meat or veggie option as a main. We were so full ... there was no room for dessert! Would recommend with TT offer.

Darbuka was fantastic for a slightly alternative group meal out. The food was amazing-although very meat heavy so would recommend having one veggie set meal in a group to share. The wine was reasonably priced, food amazing (especially the chick pea and aubergine veggie dish) and the belly dancer was spot on.

Had the 50% off set menu offer from toptable. Starters were very good, the main was not colourful enough but not bad. Atmosphere was good... with offer good value (£10pp), without offer (£20pp)

We ate at Darbucka using the Toptable 50% deal which made the meal excellent value, as the food was very good (particularly the starters which were delicious), and the service was top class - very attentive and eager to please.

Though the staff were friendly they were hard to pin down and seemed distracted which, considering we were the only two diners in there (at first), is pretty poor. The food was nice and with the Top Table offer was good value for money. I wouldn't recommend it to pre-theatre diners as it seems to be catering more towards after-work drinkers/diners.

Had a lovely evening at Darbuckas. Went for set menu. Good food, plenty to eat. Restaurant was packed. Nice Eastern decor. Good atmosphere and our waiter couldn't have been more helpful. Our only disappointment was that the bar downstairs was a bit quiet (it was the Thursday before Easter weekend). Still managed to have a dance though. A great place!
