Modern Indian spot with broad veg and non-veg options, lively service, and bold flavors; tasty but portions and pricing draw mixed views.
Daal Roti delivers solid neighborhood Indian dining through excellent food quality and warm, attentive service that guide diners through menu choices and spice levels. However, inconsistent execution between dine-in and delivery—with portions and spice varying noticeably—prevents a higher grade, while the casual, functional setting lacks distinctive appeal. Best experienced as a reliable neighborhood go-to for traditional North Indian curries and street-food starters rather than a destination restaurant.
In a calm corner of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, this spot feels like a neighborhood hub for cravings that lean fragrant and comforting. Service skews warm and proactive, with staff guiding heat levels and first-timers through the menu; one diner noted it felt kind and helpful from the start. Expect a tidy, casual room rather than a design spectacle, more about welcoming energy and plates arriving steaming than mood lighting. Cooking leans classic North Indian with playful detours into street-food favorites and Indo‑Chinese. Curries are the draw—distinct sauces, soft naan, and steady hits like tikka masala, palak, and daal makhani—while pani puri and chaats win over snackers. Most diners praise clear, layered flavors; the main critique is portion size relative to price, plus delivery that can land milder or less generous than dine‑in. Best bets are saucy mains with fresh bread and a chaat to start; those seeking blow‑your‑mind innovation will find a polished traditional core with a modern tilt. For families, it works well: there are lots of familiar anchors like butter naan, mild tikka masala, palak, and rice; spice can be tuned down, and vegetarian options are abundant. There is no explicit kids menu, but the menu offers plenty that young eaters will actually eat—just note rice is often ordered separately and portions trend modest, so consider an extra bread or side.
