About

Darbar presents a robust selection of traditional Indian cuisine with a distinct emphasis on vegetarian preparations that highlight regional spice profiles. The menu focuses on the technical execution of classic curries, lentil-based dals, and freshly prepared breads baked in a traditional clay oven. Ingredients such as paneer, chickpeas, and seasonal vegetables anchor the offerings, ensuring a diverse range of plant-based flavor experiences for diners. The interior environment prioritizes functional simplicity, creating a focused atmosphere where the complexity of the aromatic spices takes center stage. Every dish maintains consistency in texture and heat, reflecting established methods of preparation common to the subcontinent. This establishment provides a comprehensive culinary narrative through a steady rotation of meatless staples that are crafted to provide substantial nourishment and authenticity in every portion served.

C'est bien mais en rétrospective nous avons trouvé l'addition un peu élevé par rapport à ce que l'on a connu. Je sais que les temps sont difficiles mais ça fait réfléchir. Aussi il serait bon d'offrir plus de combinaison de plats.

food was excellent; service very attentive. Unfortunately they had run of beer which we prefer for Indian cuisine, but the cocktails & wine were equally delicious. It is a small space so a little tight especially with bulky coats.

Nous avons eu le grand plaisir de souper dans un restaurant chaleureux, aux plats exquis & au service plus qu'impeccable. Le Darbar est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs restaurants indien de Montréal. La nourriture est délicieuse, les épices & arômes sont bien balancés, & les employé·e·s sont d'une gentillesse inouïe. Nous recommandons à tous & à toutes ce restaurant, où nous retournerons assurément !
