Daru Washington Reviews from The Last Year
While I have been greatly anticipating dining at the
While I have been greatly anticipating dining at the establishment, I cannot say I was disappointed but I will say I was underwhelmed; To begin, the service is without rival. The host is very knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did she memorize the entire menu and have a strong background knowledge on all of the elements of each item but she seems to also be quite cultured on food in general; and seeks to actively engage and enquire about guests. I was blown away by every measure of potential expectation; service was what you would expect from a five-star hotel and not a small, unassuming restaurant in a not so nice area. The food is incredibly well-balanced. While it is trendy and fusion, I will say it leans a little too much into the conventional and avant-garde to be recognizable as Indian cuisine. However, everything has logic and flows nicely, both in terms of a single cohesive dish as well as in working with other items. Quality of ingredients is high whereas quality of execution is variable from okay to good, to great/superior. Additionally, there is enough divergence but cohesiveness between dishes to feel there is no waste nor sunk cost in ordering a lot of dishes. I laud places where you can pick your own adventure, and it is neither redundant nor pointless. Portions are okay, but nothing to write home about. Contariwise, given the price point of DC, and for much lesser fare, mind you, I wager the value of this dining experience is B to B+; a rarity, in general, much less for the surrounding area as well as when it comes to fine dining. The ambiance, while eclectic and schizophrenic, is charming. My biggest qualms are that the food is not quite as exceptional as portrayed by many; and, again, that the location is very poor. Keep your head on a swivel and travel in larger groups if coming here. Photos don't do justice for how beautiful the presentation is of each dish. It is not always easy to get a table here, but it is worth it. One of the very few restaurants I would recommend going back to, and it is exceedingly rare I return to the same restaurant more than once.
Outstanding, fun Indian spot on a sketchy corner! Worth it
Outstanding, fun Indian spot on a sketchy corner! Worth it though! All of our food was great, as was the service. Next time I may stick to vegetarian dishes because the ones we had were phenomenal (the meat and fish dishes were too). Can't wait to come back! One of the best meals I have had this year!

The absolute best Indian food in the dmv, one of the best meals I've ever had. You cannot order wrong, I promise you that.

Okay honestly if you are in the DC area and don't go here, you are doing yourself a disservice. I must say this is my favorite restaurant in DC and honestly one of my favorite places to eat just in general. The food here is unique, flavors are off the chart, staff is usually on point and make good recommendations and it's small and cozy inside so you feel like you're eating at someone's house, with grandma cooking in the back. *Food is usually on the spicer side, just a general warning for those that may not like any spice at all. Some of my favorites here are: - Daal burrata (chef's kiss) - Herb laccha paratha - Za'atar Olive naan - Striped Bass - Scallop Moilee - Blue cheese reshmi kabob
Food tasted great but both my partner and I were on the
Food tasted great but both my partner and I were on the toilet for the next 24 hours. Order was chicken tikka, burrata, scallops, lasagna, cabbage, garlic naan, and sunchokes
Had dinner here with friends.
We had a wonderful night. The service was great, and our waitress offered an overview of the menu and favorites without me having to ask-- I really appreciated this. The inside of the restaurant is small, intimate, and ambient. Chai-Teani - Delicious, sweet, and creamy. I don't usually like chai, but I thought this cocktail had a perfect and subtle amount. (5/5) Sham Valley Punch - Underwhelming. I didn't like the slightly sour flavor. The drink wasn't strong like an old fashioned, yet it was served in a similar manner and small amount. (3/5) Bread Basket - A must get if you are like me and use naan to lick curries and sauces off the plate. I loved it for the Scallops Moilee, and it was also good for dipping in the sauces of the Murgh Makhani and Nariyal Lamb Shank. (5/5) Roasted Sweet Potato Chaat - Delicious and perfectly cooked sweet potatoes with flavorful sauces. My one complaint is that it was missing a crunchy textural component. I think this would have given the dish the extra excitement it needed because the sweet potatoes and yogurt were both soft. (4/5) Scallops Moilee - Favorite of the evening. Perfectly cooked scallops with beautiful spices, tossed in a gorgeous sweet and spicy sauce. (5/5) Murgh Makhani - Delicious. A thicker butter chicken with perfectly cooked chicken thigh. (5/5) Nariyal Lamb Shank - Good but nothing too special compared to lamb shank you can get elsewhere. The curry had a nice spice. (4/5)
Terrible interaction cancelling a reservation.
We notified the restaurant that a member of our party had tested positive for COVID, and then they proceeded to charge us a no show fee and implied we should've come anyway. Owner was incredibly rude over the phone.
It is hard to churn out better Indian food than the
It is hard to churn out better Indian food than the juggernaut called Rasika (both locations) does, but, in my humble opinion, Daru accomplishes this! This is high praise from a huge fan of Indian food, first, and Rasika, second. The food is fantastic! For starters, we had scallops in a beautiful sauce of coconut, curry leaf and "gun powder" masala. Crazy good! The sauce was so good that we took our bread and sopped up every drop. Our second starter was Blue Cheese Tandoori Chicken kabobs! Yes, blue cheese and cherries!!! So unique and, like the scallops, had a wonderful sauce. Both dishes were perfectly balanced with all the exotic spices available to Indian food. As the food rolled around in our mouths, the various ingredients set off different taste buds - first the heat, then the deep dark sweetness of the sour cherries and finally the blue cheese (in the case of the kabobs - seriously, who EVER heard of blue cheese in Indian food???). And on and on. I do not know how they created a sauce that perfectly complimented the protein while retaining the individual component tastes - BUT THEY DID!!! It was beautiful and reminded me of why I love Indian cuisine so much. Our main courses were Chicken Tikka Masala and Nariyal Lamb Shank. The lamb shank was a huge piece of lamb with fork tender lamb perfectly cooked. Delicious! The sauce here was very robust - strong and luxurious! The spice took me to the brink of excess but stopped short thankfully. I loved each bead of sweat that popped on my forehead! But - as good as that lamb was - it was the Tikka Masala that was by far the star of this show! I have never had such delightful Tikka Masala. The sauce was so unique and so great that I am not sure I would have identified it as Tikka Masala if I had not ordered it myself. It did not taste of tomatoes so much as a creamy sauce made of perfectly balanced Indian exotic-ness. Again, the balance of each ingredient was amazing; one minute tasting hot spice, the next a luscious creaminess that took my mouth in a different direction. Perfection! Without a doubt, this was the best chicken Tikka Masala I have ever had - certainly way better than I have had at Rasika (either location). The dining room is pretty bare bones. An old Washington DC rowhouse that was renovated - we have seen these all over the city. You do not go to Daru for the elegant interior. You go to Daru for the perfect party of Indian spices that delights and makes you crave more. I am certain you will want to lick each plate! The service was fantastic too. Each staff member was happy to explain the dishes and take time with us. It is a loud restaurant so listen carefully. Highly recommend Daru to everyone! Call ahead and make reservations - for sure - because the dining room is small. But get there as soon as you can!
I enjoyed the food.
It was surprisingly a lot so we got full fast. Good atmosphere and service too!
Food was delicious.
Make sure you have reservations. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We got the lamb, chicken, sweet potato appetizer, naan, and eggplant. I was pleased, thought the price was reasonable. I would highly recommend. The ambiance was pleasant and cozy. Perfect spot for the winter.
We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Daru.
We had the dahi puri, bison momo and scallops for starters and all were excellent. Then we had the lamb chops (2), butter chicken, and bread basket. The lamb chops were divine I still think about them, best item on the menu. The butter chicken tasted differently from what I've had in the past and we were not big fans. But everything else was great including the two mocktails. Also like that the music was good but the volume was low enough for us to enjoy it and our conversation at the same time. Highly recommend Daru.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
