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.

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!
