  • 5/5 Gunjan S. 10 months ago on Google • 127 reviews
    By far the best fine dining experience. Restaurant is situated at the lower ground floor of the Taj Mansingh. Staff was super super good and courteous- always smile on their face. Very welcoming. Food - we had a 4 course meal and they gave us one extra course so total 5 courses. Starter, soup and dessert was outstanding. Main course was also v good but too heavy. They also give pallet cleaner to have the best taste for the upcoming items. Service was top notch. For the price it was super worth it. Prefer doing table booking in advance.

    An exceptional experience overall! The food was outstanding, with chicken breast that was incredibly tender and flavorful. Presentation was top-notch too. The Patthar ke kabab and botti malai were hits, while the Gongura lamb was a delightful surprise. Don't miss out on the jalebis! The staff, especially Rashminder Singh and the manager on duty, made us feel incredibly welcomed. If you're seeking exquisite Indian cuisine and exceptional service, this is the place to be. Thank you for an amazing dining experience! 😊

    Varq, innovative Southeast Asian cuisine. The restaurant attempts to follow set menu fine dining style but it hardly succeeds both on form and substance. The set menu is in fact, not a set menu. It is divided into three courses, and each course has two options that you need to choose from. The food was not bad, but nothing to rave about particularly when you have better options in town.

    Dining at Varq is an experience in itself…it’s culinary extravaganza. We tried the following: 1. Varqui Crab- This starter was simply awesome. One the best crab dish 2. Dilli-6 curry- The tomato based gravy was too good but I would have preferred the chicken a bit more tender. 3. Tamatar aur zaitoon ke kofte- Interesting ingredients. The gravy is good but overall it is just average. 4. Chenna Paneer- The quantity was good and the taste was very nice. The fillers in between meals what they call as palette cleanser (crispy yogurt & raw mango sorbet) were really good. The presentation was really outstanding and the hospitality was outstanding. The staff was very polite and courteous.

    Follow me on insta @rajatskies Just loved the place and the grandeur The food was awesome. However the quantity was miniscule. I undersyand that it's modern gastronomy but little more daal makhani doesn't change much The daal makhani was served on a small boat like bowl which is good enough for one bite If they can improve this its a real good place to dine

    Went for dinner in Varq. The ambience is pretty good. Hygienic washrooms. Well maintained. We tried only vegetarian food and it was too good. Kurkure bhindi was something that left us amused. There Amritsari kulcha was something very different that we tried and loved. The way they explain the preparation of the dishes was also loved by the family. All in all we spent quality time there.

    We went to this place for a team dinner on a friend's recommendation. The ambiance was lovely and Mr Thomas took the order for the group. We decided to try the set menu along with drinks and some options from ala carte. While we were having our first drink, they served the dinner on the table without asking or even informing us. The sequence of service could have been better as we expect them to ask for any drinks order before serving main course. Anyways, we informed the manager and ordered the drinks after the main couse was served on the table. Appetizers and main course dishes were average. There is nothing to be mentioned as a recommendation. Desserts were comparatively good especially the crispy Jalebi with saffron. Finally, when we asked for the bill it took for over 40 mins to get the payment cleared as the payment machines were not working as expected at the restaurant. I kept trying for 3 times and at the end, I had to go to the hotel main reception to get the payment processed from my card. Overall, it was not so great experience for us so we left the place with a bag of mixed feelings.

    A really unique dinning experience with great presentation and service. The food taste is average at best but it is definitely an enjoyable experience. Do try the chicken galawat and delhi 6 chicken. The bamboo chicken was presented well but did not taste great. The breads were a little cold which was surprising. The guava mango sorbet is perhaps the best thing I have tried in a while. Mr Thomas provided excellent service and took great care of us. Definitely worth w visit for the experience.

    Quirky take on traditional Indian cuisine. Food was special, you can taste the difference of high end fine dining. Rich and decadent. We had the Fish tikka, phool ki chaat and veggie galouti kebabs for starters. The dahi bhalla tasting amuse bouche was incredible! Guava sorbet palette cleanser was also interesting. For mains we had the bhindi 2 ways and some vegetarian kofte which were both delicious. They could be a bit generous with their portion size of bread given the price charged. We didn’t have room for desserts but they seemed like they had a good selection. Service was slow to start with and they really need more paper menus. Our server was Parminder who did a great job!

    An absolutely beautiful place with amazing food, decor and service. Mr. Thomas helped us throughout our dinner with some of the delicious dishes options. This time we did a whole vegetarian meal. We ordered 2 different types of soups, one was the drumstick soup and second was mushroom soup. Both tasted really good. Drumstick soup had a dal broth making it quite tasty. For the starters we had paneer tikka, mushroom mirch malai and palak patta chaat. Our favourite one was the mushroom malai tikka and if you love mushroom dishes then this was is for you. For the main course we had dal makhni, dal tadka, chenna paneer and choley pulao. They serve dal in separate bowls and you have to order the numbers accordingly. Paneer was not that good and a little sweet for out taste. Pulao were very delicious and goes well with some raita. In our case we got a burani raita with a touch of garlic to it. They provide you with some wet tissues as well. Although we were quite full but we had to try the jalebi as it looked so mouthwatering and tasted great as well. They have 3 types of jalebi but we got them to change it to saffron only. It came with some kalakand and rabri. Overall we loved the experience and would definitely go again to try some non veg food this time. Follow us on instagram @foodntravelbliss for more updates ✅

    Price is high for the experience. Food is good but nothing you can't get somewhere else. Nothing special and it should be for the price you pay. Plating is not refined. Service is okay but not too experienced and attentive. Ambience is also rough...you feel your on a theatre set where a fake wall can move any time. What also influences the experience is the entrance of the hotel. The smell of perfume is so intense you feel the air is more polluted inside that outside the hotel.

    Went to Varq for dinner. The place has a nice atmosphere, clean bathrooms, and is well-kept. We had only vegetarian dishes, which were really tasty. The Kurkure Bhindi surprised us, and we enjoyed the unique Amritsari Kulcha. The staff's explanations of the dishes were appreciated by the whole family. Overall, we had a great time there.

    I visited The Varq Restaurant. Ambience was Awesome. Food was delicious. I loved Specially Chiken Ganderi Kebabs. One thing they can improve is Quantity of food. Also found The manager of hotel little bit rough. It might be there 'Taj Professional Atitude'. But still they can improve... Ultimately it was Taj Hotel & it was fabulous...

    This fine dining restaurant by Taj is the most favourite place of mine, been there many times, and the food is soo delicious that its actually finger licking good, and whatever they serve as Amouse-bouche is always very delectable and just yummy. And the selection of food they have is like-"yeh bhi chahiye, yeh bhi chahiye aur yeh to definitely chahiye"

    A nice restaurant with a good menu, tasty food and beautiful ambience. The menu had lots of good vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, their selection is on point. It wasn't particularly over crowded, we got a chance to take some splendid pictures while we waited for the food to arrive. Service was impeccable, they were courteous and helped us decide what to choose. We were a part of 9 and they helped us settle-in properly and gave us the time we need to decide. The best appetizer was their Masala Papad, hands down tasty and photogenic! All in all, full 5* for the food and service.

    Visited the day after Valentine's because we couldn't get a day before or on Valentine's day. Place was fairly empty for dinner and considering that it was just a day after a major busy day, the staff was very limited. Two people serving 3 families inside and maybe more in the outdoor seating area. The food had smaller than usual portions, but the preparation was really good. It had Molecular Gastronomy touch in the preparations. Food was delicious, and when service was started, Mr. Thomas and a very wonderful Sikh gentleman (could not get the name) were very attentive throughout. In between courses, we were also given palette cleansers on the house, which was a great touch. Ambience was good, location is also approachable and this is a good place to visit.

    Title: An Unforgettable Experience at Taj Hotel Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars) Review: I recently had the pleasure of staying at the prestigious Taj Hotel during my visit to the city, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped into the grand lobby, I was greeted with impeccable hospitality and a sense of luxury that set the tone for the rest of my stay. The location of Taj Hotel is truly remarkable. Situated in the heart of the city, it offers breathtaking views of iconic landmarks and easy access to major attractions. Whether I wanted to explore historical sites, indulge in shopping, or savor local cuisine, everything was just a stone's throw away. The service at Taj Hotel is second to none. The staff members are exceptionally attentive, friendly, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay. From the concierge desk to the housekeeping team, every interaction was met with genuine warmth and professionalism. The rooms at Taj Hotel are a haven of luxury and comfort. Mine was elegantly furnished, with a blend of classic and contemporary elements. The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a peaceful night's sleep. The amenities provided were of the highest quality, and the attention.

    I came with my friends who ordered almost 6 dishes and I who doesn’t like Indian food ordered just one dish after 10 minutes of trying to contemplate the menu. Firstly, they gave me a wrong salad and then charged me 1200 for it. I was stranded there without any food and that too charged for something I didn’t order. When I raised a complaint, they apparently didn’t even remove the salad which would’ve costed them merely 50 rupees and instead were rude and insisting that’s what I ordered! Never again.

    We ate here whilst staying at the Taj partly in response to the extraordinary press on the restaurant. It did not disappoint. This is not your traditional Indian food, rather a very interesting interpretation which would suits the most discerning palates. The food was fine, delicious, service impeccable. Room atmosphere is a bit uninviting if one was to be picky. Again, to be a little critical, the presentation was a tad contrived but that me and I guess most would be delighted. Worth a visit

    Varq was a great experience. Scrumptious and sumptuous dishes were served and worth every single penny. The food presentation was spectacular. They offer you unparalleled fine dining experience along with resplendent ambience and considerable services. Regi Thomas, Guest Service Supervisor, is very attentive and friendly. The staff was very well behaved and courteous. B. Rajesh Kumar Singh, Sous Chef, came to us for a feedback and apprised us of extensive range of varieties offered @Varq to customers for their valued and cherished encounter. Kudos to them 👍👍

    At Varq (the name means foil, and refers to the edible gold and silver foil that's used to give a regal touch to Indian dishes), well-known Indian chef Hemant Oberoi gives traditional Indian cuisine a contemporary twist with unusual pairings, innovative presentations, and use of organic produce and spices. Exotic ingredients such as sea bass, sand crab, black cod, morels and Iranian berries are used. The Martaban ka Meat (lamb cooked with pickled chilies in an earthenware pot) is one of the restaurant's popular signature dishes. There are plenty of options for vegetarians as well. If you're looking for a family fine dining experience, head to Varq, as young children are now welcome.

    The welcome was courteous. We were finicky about our table and the staff went out of their way to satisfy us - settled on a table in the open with a mix of sun and shade. The food was delicious. The Biryani - for a person who has difficulty in eating mutton because of the strings getting stuck in the tooth spaces - was a melt in your mouth variety. The desert was innovative and Chef Ankit Vij deserves kudos for having tried a pepper and fennel mix in the jalebi. Jatinder and his crew looked after us and gave us a wonderful feeling. He introduced us to a great mocktail of juice with an element of imli!

    An amazing gastronomic experience! The restaurant was not crowded and all Covid-era restrictions were followed strictly. To open up our palate, we were served a spoonful of yoghurt infused with cumin seeds and some molecules. We were served palate cleansers in between meals. Mr. Thomas, the head guest service manager, an absolutely wonderful gentleman made the experience very gracious and unobtrusive. A must-visit for modern Indian fusion cuisine !

  • 1/5 Oriental S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went based on reviews expecting a great Indian meal and a nice night out. The only thing we were stuck with was a RIDICULOUS BILL for the most terrible North Indian food we have ever eaten. It's trying to be INDIAN ACCENT - but it's absolutely NOT. Horrid, uninterested service but WORST OF ALL is the food which feels like it's been dumped out of an airplane kitchen. These were staple North Indian dishes like Dal and Naan that they just couldn't manage to pull off. Any roadside dhaba would be 1000 times better than this joint. If you ever want horrible, stale indian food and pay 17k for a meal for 4, then this is your place.

    1. the select menu is very limited hence ala carte is better than booking via dineout passport 2. food taste was average when compared to a place like delhi 3. food experience was great, as all were following corona guidelines properly with double masking alternate table were vacant, complementary fillers between meals . 4. payment was not accepted there via dineout hence the discounts offered by dineout were not valid. 5. We ordered palak patta chaat, delhi 6 chicken curry, varqui crab, chenna paneer, shahi toast.... palak patta chaat was pathetic as it was more of a mangodi / pakoda not dumplings as listed.. delhi 6 chicken curry was okaish looking at a place like delhi.. chenna paneer was too much in quantity but was fine... dessert and sorbet offered in the form of guava ice cream was great.. varqui crab was too much in quantity and can easily be shared between 2 . taste was good., garlic nan was awesome...

    Celebrated our milestone 25th anniversary here at Varq, and I must say that it was one of the best culinary experiences I have savoured in my life. Mr. Reji Thomas and Dheeraj took brilliant care of us throughout our time there and the theeka tamarind made us crave for more. Special thanks to chef Aditya who ensured each and every course was explained in detail and catered to our preferences. It was a superb time filled with mind blowing food. The Chena paneer was delicious, so was the pepper prawn and was highlighted on our palate because of how fresh it was from the amazing sorbet. The entire meal felt like an experience that captured everything I would want. Definitely looking forward to visiting the next time I am in Delhi.

    This is an outstanding hotel that exceeds all expectations. With its impeccable service, luxurious accommodations, and exquisite dining options, it truly sets the standard for excellence. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, making me feel like a valued guest. The rooms are tastefully designed, spacious, and equipped with top-notch amenities. The highlight, however, is the culinary experience at Varq. The restaurant offers a gastronomic journey of flavors, with dishes crafted to perfection and presentation that is nothing short of art. Each bite is a delight to the senses. Overall, Varq is a haven of luxury and culinary indulgence that leaves a lasting impression.

There are nice seating options with indoor and outdoor options as well as private dining table. We didn't find the preparation time for the food to be too much and there were accompaniment served in between. Overall its an experiance worth taking.

    I have always loved the Man Singh - but I always either end up eating in Machan or having room service. Thankfully I broke that jinx and it was an experience that was worth it. The food, service, attention to detail, taste, flavour, presentation are well and truly indescribable. Mind you, a vegetarian can also get a fantastic meal here that does not just include paneer and potatoes. Go as hungry as you can. You will never rue that you did.

    I took my much older relatives to eat at Varq, a little nervous about what they would think of the experience. I needn't have worried. Mr Ravinder, and our waiters, Ravinder and Soinudeen, worked as a nurturing team so that my Uncle and two Aunts, sometimes given to easy displeasure, blossomed within their hospitality. The food was beautiful to look at, and mostly delicious; the different fusions were explained to traditional tastes with patience, and we all ended up beaming with contentment. Thank you, Varq!!

A big thank you to you and a congratulations on having a truly memorable restaurant experience.

    It's Taj Hotel branch. It's very near to the embassies area. If you are visiting Delhi for the embassy work, would sugegst you stay in this one. The nearby area is really great. Taxis and uber easily approchabl. Even Uber eats and zomato delivery guys come to the doorstep. We purchased the staying package for 4 days from Xpedia. The offer was worth it. There is Wi-Fi included. Rooms were geart, tidy, neat. I loved staying the hotel. It's been maintained in a traditional style. We asked the staff members to arrange for an extra bed in the room. It was quite easy and quick. Before arriving from overseas we called multiple times to confirm some things like early check-in etc. It was approchable and communication was great. Staying in this hotel was worth the experience. Food was amazing. The only issue we had was with the complemantary breakfast, which the staff miscommunicated us and later we saw it as charged in the final settlement. It became a little heated disscusion but apart from one rest all staff memebers were great and warm welcoming. Overall, the experience was amazing and definitely recommended.

    Went for a family lunch and the experience was overwhelming. During this pandemic period going out is always tagged with a sense of fear... But here with alternative service tables and adequate space makes us feel secured. The food was very tasty and appropriate quantity for an average eater. Mr. Thomas made us feel at home with his native touch . Overall a n ideal place to hang out if one is ready to cut the coat little bit more than average.

    One of the best fine dinning experience, thanks to Rashminder Singh! From suggest of the wine bottle to the assistance in selecting the course you were really helpful. Varq doesn't serve the official Dum Biryani but their version of Mutton rice dish, I would say exceeds expectations of an authentic Biryani. Must try!

    An Absolute Delight Dining at Varq is something else, it is more like an experience which is really unique. I went for the three course meal with a friend of mine. Firstly i had the "Chicken Galawat" which was so smooth, that it just went in my mouth and popped like a cracker of flavours and then mildly disappear. The flavours were really balanced that you can feel every little details in it (And this is with every other dish that we have ordered). To complement the starters we've ordered an Old Fashion, which was really smooth and enjoyable. After the starters we got the "Dilli 6 Chicken" and "Chenna Paneer" with "Khameeri Rotis" and there special out of the menu "Mirch Paratha" (which they suggested us). "Mirch Pratha" was so crispy and the flavour was more like sour chilli (as it was made of jalapenó). And at the end we got the desserts which was the three different ice creams and "Rabri Jalebi", which included three different kinds of jalebi. I really enjoyed the jalebi with the Rabri It was really yummy also there was Kalakand with that. Apart from the food, the ambience, the music, the service and everything was on point. And i would like to thank Mr. Thomas who was attending us for most of the time, not only he was really polite but really informative with everything that was being served to us. In the end i would only say this, It is something like a "Once in a lifetime, experience" and if you can then please have this experience to dine at Varq. I can bet you won't regret this.

    You know how they say the best experiences are those where you forget to take a picture? Well our experience at Varq was right up there and it was only around dessert when I finally remembered to click a picture. Nevertheless, thanks to Rashminder’s Amazing hospitality and warmth, our evening was nothing short of brilliant. Due to restrictions they were offering only a fixed menu, but the dishes are curated beautifully to ensure that all your needs are taken care off. Everything was just amazing. Right from the starters with the juicy prawns and chicken to the main course of perfectly cooked chicken with an amazing variety of breads and finally to the dessert with the “oh so good!” Jalebi and quinoa kheer! Definitely coming back for more soon!

    Amazing food overall ... The bread sizes are very different than any other general indian restaurant so order accordingly after consulting with the restaurant staff. Shahi tukda was amazing ..and a mist try along with the 3 jalebi

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Varq restaurant, and I can confidently say that it was a culinary experience beyond compare. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was captivated by the elegant ambiance, attentive service, and, most importantly, the sensational flavors that danced on my palate throughout the evening. The moment I settled into my seat, the warm and inviting atmosphere enveloped me, setting the stage for an unforgettable gastronomic adventure. The contemporary yet tastefully traditional decor, adorned with beautiful artifacts, created a perfect blend of luxury and authenticity. The attention to detail in the interior design was truly commendable, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to creating a memorable dining experience. Varq's menu, a harmonious fusion of traditional Indian cuisine with modern flair, was a testament to the chef's ingenuity and dedication. The dishes were thoughtfully curated and presented with artistic precision, making each plate a visual masterpiece. Every bite was an explosion of flavors, seamlessly blending spices and textures to create a symphony in my mouth. The quality of ingredients was evident, and the culinary team's expertise was showcased in each meticulously crafted dish.

    A nice restaurant with a good menu, tasty food and beautiful ambience. The menu had lots of good vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, their selection is on point. It wasn't particularly over crowded, we got a chance to take some splendid pictures while we waited for the food to arrive. Service was impeccable, they were courteous and helped us decide what to choose. We were a part of 9 and they helped us settle-in properly and gave us the time we need to decide. The best appetizer was their Masala Papad, hands down tasty and photogenic! All in all, full 5* for the food and service.

    I found out about this restaurant from a sketchy promo team. They're trying to get people to rate it five stars, so I wouldn't recommend eating there. The food might not be very good.
