Since 1985, Archana on Belfast’s Dublin Rd has been serving authentic North Indian dishes using fresh local ingredients spices. With flavour profiles based on the 5 S’s; Spice, Sharp, Sweet, Salty Sour, all of the Punjabi style dishes are traditionally cooked and served in individual Baltis. We started with crispy Poppadoms with accompanying dips, a sweet and sticky Vegetable Manchurian, and Archana’s legendary Green Chilli Pakoras. To follow, we enjoyed the Muttar Paneer with peas and Indian cottage cheese, and a Chef’s Special with king prawns, with plenty of fluffy chilli coriander naan to mop up the delicious sauces! Whether you’re looking for hot spicy or mild creamy, Archana has someth...
Went to Archana a few times over the years although this was the first time I'd visited Belfast for 15 years. Well, it's still there! And still food is as decent as I remembered. Had the veggie thali with a particularly excellent naan. Service friendly and attentive. Hope it's not 15 years before eating there again!
The restaurant recommended to us by our hotel was fully booked so found this on the map, managed to book a table to tie in with us arriving on foot and was not disappointed.......went straight back to our hotel to tell them to spread the word, a fantastic family run restaurant; a true gem in the heart of Belfast.
Deceptively small restaurant, it's actually a lot bigger with another floor, nice atmosphere very good Indian food, very reasonably priced, thaali was very good value for money. Thank you Ashok Shama, the owner, Karthik and Pooja who were our attentive front of house staff.

Went as a group of 4 couples. Staff were very friendly, attentive and basically could not do enough for us. The food was excellent. On the whole a brilliant experience and would highly recommend this restaurant.
We booked a table for the 8 of us, and were treated so well by the staff, the food was excellent and the bill was a pleasant surprise. All in all a great night, just the ticket!!
Old and reliable. Food always excellent and great variety (extensive vegetarian menu also). Try the Achard for sure, it’s absolutely delicious. Staff always very friendly
No longer my problem , not what you want to hear when you pay for food that does not come. Avoid this place or you will end up out of pocket and hungry
