Easily one of the top five culinary experiences of my life. Chef Simar gave us the absolute star treatment. The flavours were otherworldly, the service was outstanding & atmosphere was perfect. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Can't wait to come back again.

By far one of the best hidden gems. The chef was so kind & made our experience one to remember. He was able to cater to our specific needs & wants. As new comers to Indian food, the chef & his colleague made sure we were comfortable & enjoyed every bite. I would recommend this place to anyone

The head chef/owner came to our table to talk about his restaurant & the food. Incredible service & all items we ordered were delicious. Will definitely return.

One note - due to the extreme cold weather, you need to use the side door (to keep the main door closed & the dining area warm) which isn't super obvious to a first time visitor. It feels like you might be going into an apartment, but it's the restaurant!

Owner was super nice; came up to our table to suggest items on the menu & he even went off script & prepared us a dish from the next seasonal rotation!

Had an amazing meal here tonight. So nice for the chef to come to each table & speak to the dishes & ask if we had questions. The food itself was sublime. The best chicken tiki masala we've ever had & the agneau nihari melted in your mouth. A small place so make a reservation! What a way to kick off the new year.

If we could give this place more than five stars, we would. Definitely try the Mardasi Bakra, Aloo chat & honestly, you should try something from every course to really get the full experience.
The service was super fast & friendly, & very attentive to taking our orders. The chef was also very welcoming & clearly passionate about his food, while even taking the time to talk to us about his story & Montreal as we were visiting.
The restaurant itself is intimate & quiet, perfect for a relaxing dinner. You can really enjoy & appreciate the food while not being rushed.
We would recommend anyone to try!

We discovered this place (without realizing it's a fine dining) by chance during our last trip to Montreal, & it turned out to be a hidden gem. The food was delicious - full of flavor, authentic yet modern, & perfectly balanced. What really made the experience special was the service. Chef & owner Simar was so welcoming, patient, & gave great recommendations. We'll definitely be back to try more!

My wife & I eat at Darbar often, & the cuisine is definitely a few steps above your typical Indian restaurant experience. The cocktails are thoughtful & delicious, & the staff are among the most welcoming I've encountered anywhere in Montreal. It's rare to find a place that balances warmth, flavor, & atmosphere so effortlessly - Darbar does it beautifully.

Sometimes in life you know what your want to eat & where & this place is great for that, the menu is full of high quality great food. But if you are wandering around the snow covered streets of Montreal not knowing what you want other than to eat this place is for you as well. The owner & staff are there to help you have a great night & serve you meal akin to a mosaic of flavor. They are also super accommodating to dietary needs (vegan in our case). If you are in this city you need to eat here!
