I came here for a girls' night dinner, & honestly, everything was perfect. The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the service ; so friendly, attentive, & genuine. It's rare to find a restaurant that still has that personal touch, where you feel truly welcomed & cared for. Darbar is one of those rare gems.

One of the best curries I have ever had, certainly in top 10 ever! Chef asked how hot we wanted & personalised it to our tastes, he put his personal stamp.on each dish, my Jalfrezi was wonderful, my wife really enjoyed a slightly spicier tikka.

Amazing experience! We celebrated my dad's 60th birthday here & the food was amazing - the chef Simar was so kind & gave us recommendations based on our tastes, things to do in Montreal, & took the time to get to know us! All the food was delicious - we had the most wonderful time & will be coming back again when we visit Montreal.

We dined at Darbar on Sunday evening & had a truly memorable experience. The chef personally introduced himself, walked us through the menu with recommendations, & even took our order before preparing it - a thoughtful touch that made the evening feel special. The food was outstanding, the staff were warm & welcoming, & the chef returned during our meal to ensure everything was perfect. Five stars all around - Darbar is an absolute must if you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Montreal!

Truly such a pleasure & wonderful experience eating at Darbar with my family. Having grown up in the GTA, I've had great Punjabi food but this place is exceptional. Chef Simar & his staff are so warm & welcoming. The food itself is incredible, you can taste the authentic technique & use of fresh ingredients in all the dishes. We will be back again for sure.
