My family & I ate here last night & everything we ordered was delicious, authentic, & spiced exactly according to your taste. Love the ambiance & decorations (like a place court, as reflected by the name Darbar). Great cocktails & the best mango lassi I can remember having, ever! We started with the Samosa Pakoray then went with the saag Gosht, shahi paneer, Bhindi Bhaji, Chole Buturay, butter naan & onion kulcha, & veg biryani. Everything was great! The chef personally came out to the table to welcome us & manage our experience throughout the night. As a family owned restaurant, they really seemed committed to having each guest have a wonderful experience from start to finish. & the best part on top of the great food was how affordable it was for a family of 4! With inflation & prices going crazy everywhere, this place is a rare exception where you get high quality, authentic, high class food at a reasonable price. Great food, ambiance, price & most importantly, great people. As I'm from New York & have experienced an eclectic & wide variety of Indian food, this place ranks as one of the best without a doubt!
SO delicious & amazing, attentive staff! will definitely be coming back!
Food was amazing with fresh locally sourced ingredients. Traditional hearty dishes with a modern twist & a wonderful backstory to the restaurant. Owner/chef helped us choose our dishes & told us a bit an about the restaurant. He's a lawyer by day & chef by night & you can really taste the passion on his dishes.
Best shahi paneer I've eaten in my life. The chef came out & personally talked to us about how he makes the food from scratch with fresh ingredients & spices. If anyone is visiting Montreal & looking for a 5 star Indian cuisine please be sure to visit here, you won't be disappointed.
Having been going there for over a decade now, the food is always utterly phenomenal. The Murgh Jalfrezi & Saag Gosht are go-to meals, but you can count on anything you order being delicious! Great value, & a truly lovely scene! Always gets a recommendation from me!
Came here on a whim & couldn't be happier with how it went! Great atmosphere, great food, lovely service. Would definitely come back!
My group & I had another incredible dining experience at Darbar. I am a regular at this restaurant, the chef/owner came out to personally greet us & welcome us to the restaurant & go through the menu with us. The service & atmosphere were excellent as well, & my group couldn't stop raving about the food. All items we ordered were on point & came out piping hot, the team also took all of our dietary restrictions into consideration & adapted the menu accordingly. Make sure to make a reservation as this restaurant can get quite busy!!
Darbar, c'est un voyage culinaire en Inde, riche en saveurs & en sensations fortes ! Premier date avec mon mec, moi en mode'je gère les épices, no problemo'. Alors là, dès la première bouchée, BAM ! Le volcan en éruption ! J'avais l'impression d'avoir léché le soleil. La goutte au front, l'alarme incendie prête à se déclencher à cause de la vapeur qui s'échappait de mes oreilles. & pendant ce temps-là, mon copain ? Le nirvana ! Il était en train de communier avec Shiva & les épices, genre il les connaissait tous personnellement. Il m'a regardé comme si j'étais un enfant qui goûte à la moutarde pour la première fois. Moi, je luttais pour ma survie avec un grand sourire figé, j'ai failli pleurer dans mon naan. Deuxième fois, on décide de faire les choses'à l'indienne', assis par terre. Sauf que là, surprise ! Lui, en mode contorsionniste, les jambes derrière la tête, genre'Regarde, je suis un croissant'. Moi, par contre, j'étais plié comme une chaise de camping. En vrai, un poteau électrique a plus de flexibilité que moi. Les jambes engourdies en moins de dix minutes, & chaque bouchée devenait une épreuve d'équilibre. Mon copain rigolait en voyant mes tentatives désespérées pour rester assis sans tomber en avant. Ça m'a pris trois jours pour m'en remettre. Mais bon, faut avouer, leur butter chicken, c'est de la bombe, ça valait bien une séance de kiné après. & le curry d'agneau... mon dieu ! T'as l'impression que ton palais danse le Bharatanatyam. Mais le clou du spectacle, c'est la variété ! Chaque plat, c'est une surprise. Tu te demandes si cette fois tu vas te transformer en dragon ou simplement fondre de plaisir. & le personnel ? Adorables, ils te regardent avec ce sourire complice genre'Oui, tu as sous-estimé nos épices, jeune padawan.' Franchement, c'est le paradis des papilles & l'enfer des amateurs de positions de yoga. & je vais le dire direct : c'est parfait, rien à redire ! Le service, l'ambiance, la bouffe... 5 étoiles partout, les yeux fermés ! Juste un conseil d'ami : si t'es aussi souple qu'un parpaing & que ton seuil de tolérance aux épices s'arrête au paprika, prévois une table, beaucoup d'eau, & peut-être une médaille de bravoure à la sortie !
Served beautifully & super delicious. Every dish we tried was perfect. Thank you!
This is the best 5-star Indian restaurant I've been to. You can tell it takes a lot of prep work to make these dishes. So much flavour!! My girlfriend is pregnant too, & the owner even came over to make sure she was eating certain foods that was allowed for pregnant women.
Excellent restaurant de quartier. Les saveurs sont riches & délicates, & les portions sont généreuses. L'ambiance est cozy & calme, parfaite pour y tenir une conversation. Qualité très fiable!
Highly recommend! We stopped in on a Saturday night without a reservation & they were super accommodating even though it was busy. Maybe call ahead to give them a heads up if it's a weekend night, this place is in high demand! The food was insanely good-- very dynamic flavors, each dish distinct from another. It all felt healthy, fresh, & tasty. The service was lovely & the chef-owner greeted us & gave some background about the restaurant's roots. We came to visit Montreal & it was important to us to support locally owned businesses & Darbar is just that. This is a family restaurant, well worth the visit & the wait if it's busy. Definitely try Darbar.
Simmer & his employees were so accommodating & welcoming. Some of the kindest people we met on our anniversary in Montreal. The soup & the Tahli were a great value & tasted delicious.
The owner is a delight, literally made a plate of food for my dog. Humble, honest, & flavorful. You must go
Love the place! Highly recommend it. After a long day of roaming around, this place felt like home cooked meal! Bangan Bharat & dal tadka were genuinely great!
