Absolutely the best Indian restaurant in Montreal

Nourriture délicieuse, chef fort sympathique qui venait se présenter, puis prendre des nouvelles pendant le repas, serveur un eu nerveux mais efficace, poli & appliqué. Mention spéciale pour la place du français, c'est souvent difficile d'être servi en un si bon français dans un resto indien :) Nous avons aussi adoré le petit avertissement linguistique en début de menu, super pour maintenir le dialogue!

Délicieux repas, serveur attentif &, en prime, un repas entièrement sans gluten car le restaurant propose des naans sans gluten, au besoin!

Wonderful food as always, personally prepared, nuanced, & delicious. Cozy atmosphere in winter & a pleasant patio in summer. Darbar on Saint-Laurent has been our restaurant of choice on every Montreal visit for years.

La coutellerie est en cuivre, les saveurs sont décadente & le Chef est très attentionné. Tradition familiale soutenue par le chef en honneur de son père

We always have such an amazing time at Darbar, but yesterday's Valentine's day was special. The newly added Jazz band just elevated the experience even more. As usual, the food was impeccable & all my thanks to chef Simar who I unfortunately did not get to say hi to, understandable of course. To the front team, you guys did an amazing job, the polaroid was a nice touch & to see your parents on the take out box was adorable. Cannot wait to visit again soon whenever the Indian cuisine crave comes in, 10/10 as always

Nous avons passé une très belle soirée. La nourriture est divine & le personnel absolument extraordinaire. Nous venons tous du milieux de la restauration donc un peu critiques, mais le Chef & le personnel savent créer une expérience unique & chaleureuse. Une belle découverte culinaire mais humaine également.
