Amazing flavors layered into every dish. A real conversation with the chef who sought to build a meal meant for our tastebuds. A tour de force from the first bite of samosas to the last bit of naan soaking up what was left of any curry sauce. We don't live in Montreal, bit we'll back at Darbar for sure!

The restaurant had great dining atmosphere & the food was outstanding with a capital O. But what took the restaurant to a new level of classification that cannot be scored on any review is the chef & staff wanting to learn the perspective of their customers to personalize the dining experience. That took the restaurant to what I think is beyond a Michelin Star category.

Good authentic & amazing taste. We ordered shahi paneer which is definitely as recommended the best, dal makhani I would say was average, chicken was also good. What we really liked were the seekh kebabs they were different & nice. Although food options for vegetarian are limited & the ambience of the place is again something to not to expect too much from. But if you are looking for taste you can give it a try.

Mon fils m'a fait connaître ce restaurant de tradition familiale. Il est situé dans un quartier de Montréal où je ne vais plus souvent. Ce resto est un trésor caché. Tout était délicieux & raffiné & le service était chaleureux & impeccable.

I visited this restaurant recently & had a mixed experience. The service was excellent-friendly, attentive, & prompt, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the expectations. The flavors were very average & lacked the richness & depth typically associated with good Indian cuisine. Given how expensive the menu is, I was hoping for much better quality & taste. Great staff, but the food doesn't justify the high prices. Not sure I'd return.

Samosa: 2/5
Murgh Malai: 1/5 ( It was very salty)
Murgh Tikka Masala: 3/5
Garlic Naan: 1/5 ( Didn't have any garlic flavor)
Mango Lassi: 4/5
