Went for dinner here while visiting from out of town & had the best time. Chef Simar & the whole team were so welcoming & helpful with recommendations. The food was incredible. We started with the samosay pakoray, then the murgh tikka masala & the madrasi bakra with rice & garlic naan. For cocktails we had the patiala sunrise & the gulaabo. Highly recommend & can't wait to come back. Thanks, Darbar!

Our family of 5 went to Darbar for our 8p reservation on last Sunday. We ordered masala tea, chicken malai kebab, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, malai kofta, garlic naan, & gulab jamun. The food was wonderfully delicious. The lady who waited our table was very friendly & attentive. Coming from NY, we are not easily impressed with Indian food. This small family run restaurant is a gem. Highly recommended!

Made a last minute reservation here for our last night in Montreal & we were incredibly impressed. What a demonstration of hospitality & passion for the food - the staff & head chef's warmth & attentiveness made this meal stand out above every other restaurant we visited. Our meals were flavorful, fresh, & the portions were generous. Truly felt like being welcomed into someone's home for a meal, but the ambiance was romantic & intimate. Highly recommend checking this restaurant out - it has entered the top of my list (& I'm based in NYC)!!

I've been to Darbar Restaurant several times now, & it just keeps pulling me back! This time, I celebrated my birthday dinner on July 8 with my son & my boyfriend, & once again, the experience was exceptional from beginning to end.
The food was absolutely amazing-delicious, rich in flavor, perfectly seasoned, & beautifully prepared. Every bite was a treat. Even my boyfriend, who isn't used to spicy food, absolutely loved his meal, which says a lot!
One thing that truly sets Darbar apart is the hospitality. The chef & owner is incredibly welcoming & takes the time to personally visit every table to make sure everyone is enjoying their meal. That personal touch makes you feel like more than just a customer.
The food, the service, & the warm atmosphere are why I keep coming back. I highly recommend Darbar to anyone looking for outstanding Indian cuisine. We can't wait for our next visit!
