Great food as usual- Darbar is our go-to for Indian food that is as authentic as it is delicious- thank you Darba

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!

Un excellent restaurant, avec une belle ambiance'cozy' beaucoup de choix tous aussi délicieux les uns que les autres & beaucoup d'options sans gluten (quel plaisir que de pouvoir manger du pain naan sans gluten!), & un personnel aux petits soins. Les cocktails valent le détour aussi, une adresse à retenir!

The food was authentic with amazing flavours. The hospitality & service were excellent
Eleanor
This place deserves nothing less than 5 stars, more if possible
First - the ambiance is perfect: cosy, great smell, comfortable, the colours the music volume - all top notch!
Second - the service! The chef introduced himself to us & he is also the owner & proposed that we have a bunch of share plates brought to the table that he would decide - what a pleasure!
It was all a surprise & everything was delicious, fresh & super flavourful
Fantastic Indian food & cocktails & wine - the place really has it all!
An absolute gem I didn't expect to find at the bottom of st Laurent. I will definitely be back!

Best samosas I've had in ages! Crispy outside & stuffed generously.

My friends & I love to try a new restaurant each month, & we chose Darbar as our pick for October. Let me tell you it didn't disappoint.
Not only did each dish surpass our expectations, it was so nice to hear the back stories of each dish from Chef Simar himself. & the ambiance was absolutely delicious! & the cutie photo of his parents on the take-out box, so wholesome.
We ordered:
- Murgh Tikka Masala
- Murgh Tandoori
- Agneau Nihari
- Crevette Korma
- Saag Paneer
- Garlic Naan
- Riz pulao
- Samosay Pakoray
- Murgh Malai
- Gulab Jamuun
- Rasmalai
- 2x bottles of white wine
Total was $64 per person, for 5 ppl!

We had the butter chicken, lentil soup, & thali, & for dessert, we tried the gulab jamun & rasmalai, everything was absolutely delicious! The chef personally came to our table to introduce himself & checked in a few times to make sure everything was perfect. I really appreciated that. We'll definitely be coming back!
Maya
Myself & my partner came here for dinner a little later in the night, & we had an amazing time. Our server was the best, he was friendly, & made sure to answer any questions we had about the menu. The food was delicious. I would recommend anyone to eat here. DAIRY FREE & GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!

I said while eating: How will I survive if I never get to eat this again. SO good.
