The owner is so friendly, the food is always amazing, & the cocktails & specialty teas are great too. It's a cozy & quiet atmosphere that works well for conversation, & a great date spot. The menu changes seasonally so there's always a reason to go back to try something new.
From the food to the staff, RestoDarbar offers a truly unique dining experience. The authentic dishes are carefully crafted to excite the palate, with each bite showcasing a blend of flavors & textures. The service was attentive & knowledgeable, enhancing the overall ambiance. As a standout in Montreal, it's a must-visit for foodies & anyone who appreciates exceptional cuisine.
Hidden gem that is now my favourite Indian restaurant in Montreal! Chef Simar Anand & his wife gave my family & I such warm hospitality & got to know us before making personal recommendations from his winter menu. He not only considered our dietary restrictions but also our spice tolerance levels & preferences across the meal.
We were 5 people celebrating a birthday & started off with 2 entrées: the samosay pakoray (plate of samosas & onion bhaji) & the murgh malai, whose presentation wowed us. Then Chef Anand recommended sharing 4 plates family style accompanied with enough rice & a variety of naans. We discovered the Saag Paneer (& option that never dissappoints), the Lamb Nihari, the Murgh Tikka Masala (the best tikka masala/butter chicken we're EVER had), & a new creation: Shrimp marinate for 9 hours in a spiced coconut sauce, currently being refined for the summer menu. Every single dish brought unique warmth in their spices, blended beautifully in their creamy sauces, & adjusted perfectly for our spice levels. Ending with a sweet note were the Gulab Jamun & the Ras Malai, which we all got to share & enjoy. I won't forget to mention the unique & fragrant teas on the menu, carefully selected & crafted by their in-house expert. Both the Leela & Firdaous teas delighted us, having herbs or spices we didn't know & don't normally see in tea blends.
Darbar is a restaurant where you take your time for an amazing meal, rediscover classic indian flavours, & feel the love & care in their meals & service in a way that stays grounded & authentic through it's spirit!
Meilleur restaurant indien de montréal! Tout est frais & savoureux!!!! Les crevettes Korma sont incroyables!!!!
Aucun regret! Quelle belle expérience, tout etait délicieux & Simar prend vraiment le temps d'être avec les clients, de leur parler il nous a meme fait des suggestions. :) 10/10 pour le THALI non-végé & les crevettes korma dans une sauce excellente.
The food was amazing! Extremely flavorful with an outstanding presentation. The head chef personally greeted us & made recommendations that were spot on! We would highly recommend this hidden gem!
Super expérience! Le service était rapide pis la bouffe goûtait le bon. Personnel sympathique & musique d'ambiance excellente. De plus, ça m'a coûté vraiment pas cher pis le chef m'a même montré son four à pain. Je recommande à tous ceux qui aiment manger des affaires indiennes. Le pain était sur la coche pis le poulet était plus tendre que celui du St-Hubert. Y'a des options végétariennes pour les gens végétariens. Je vous conseille toutefois d'être tolérant au piquant parce que c'est épicé sur un méchant temps! Bref, mon expérience était très bonne & j'y retournerai certainement. Solide 5 étoiles! J'aimerais pouvoir en mettre 6, mais on peut pas sur google maps...
Darbar is by far my favorite restaurant in Montreal. The flavors are amazing & everything is just spicy & delicious. The service is on point, always friendly & attentive. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed. It's a family owned restaurant & I have fond memories of the father, Babu. I've been eating there for years. Believe me, you'll want to go back!
Excellent service, un accueil chaleureux & un repas exquis. Je recommande à tous ceux qui veulent expérimenter la cuisine traditionnelle indienne dans un restaurant familial, riche en histoire. Vraiment, ça vaut le détour.
Très bon restaurant, belle ambiance, la nourriture indienne est délicieuse & les propriétaires sont très accueillant & présente très bien leur culture.
Une très belle soirée avec mes amis. Accueil chaleureux, mais surtout un nouveau délice culinaire que j'ai pu essayé.
Nous sommes allés avec deux groupes de 5e secondaire; une magnifique expérience! Chef Simar & sa conjointe ont pris le temps de nous expliquer l'histoire familiale derrière cet incroyable restaurant. Ce petit bijou de Montréal offre une qualité inégalable! Je recommande X 1000!
This was hands down the best Indian food I have had in Montreal. from flavor to presentation we were stunned. My personal favorites & recommendations would be to try the seekh kebab, bhindi, chole bhatura & the garlic naan. My absolute favorite was the bhindi, the ingredients are so fresh & so well cooked. I was completely floored I can't praise this place enough. Highly highly recommend !!
Without doubt the best Indian food in Montreal. The atmosphere is great, the hosts are welcoming, gracious & accommodating, & Chef Singh himself came over to our table to chat with us & ask about the food, which by the way was incredible to say the least. I am beyond impressed & I'm grateful to Darbar for this wonderful experience. Cannot recommend enough!!
Acceuil chaleureux & personalisé, plats savoureux & rafinés, ambiance musicale moderne & décontracté. Un must pour toute personne qui apprécie la cuisine Indienne!
J'y suis retourné 2 semaines plus tard & je suis toujours charmé. Je vais devoir y manger régulièrement pour découvrir les 3 menus saisonnier proposé chez Darbar 😀
