Darbar est largement reconnu comme une destination exceptionnelle pour une cuisine punjabi authentique et de haute qualité à Montréal, souvent saluée pour ses saveurs complexes, ses ingrédients frais et sa présentation soignée. De nombreux clients soulignent l'atmosphère chaleureuse et intime ainsi que le service hautement personnalisé offert par le chef et son équipe, qui prennent souvent le temps d'échanger avec les convives pour adapter les plats selon les préférences individuelles et les besoins alimentaires, incluant des options sans gluten ou végétaliennes. Bien que la grande majorité des clients décrivent leur expérience comme mémorable et de classe mondiale, une minorité de commentaires mentionne des défis occasionnels concernant la rapidité du service, la taille des portions ou le décor, mais le consensus général identifie l'endroit comme un joyau caché qui propose une expérience culinaire passionnée et familiale.
One of the best Indian restaurant in town, we tasted a variety of dishes & all of them turned out really good. On top of that, the owner & chef is really nice!
It was my first time at Darbar & what an experience! Friendly & attentive staff, fresh & tasty food, & an exchange with the chef who creates these magical plates. I highly recommend for an authentic experience.
I can't thank Chef Simar & his team enough for a very special night on the occasion of our daughter's graduation from McGill. Darbar has been our favourite restaurant in Montreal since she moved there, so it was the perfect venue to celebrate her graduation. Even better, I contacted Chef Simar in advance & he organised a gorgeous cake for her, as well as letting us get there early to decorate the table. Our daughter & her friends were blown away, as were we. It felt like so much more than just an evening at a restaurant.... It was like a great family party with the most delicious food imaginable. Now we need to find another reason to keep coming back to Montreal & Darbar!

Very delicious food & the service was top notch, including from the chef himself who stopped by the table to say hello & offer customized dishes for our kids. The Carolina reaper & coconut curry was a stand out, as were the chicken kebab appetizers. It's clear that everyone at Darbar takes great pride in their work & the restaurant. I would recommend to anyone visiting Montreal!
The food was AMAZING & the wait staff were all so so nice! The waiter recommended great dishes & everything exceeded expectations. The head chef comes out to each table to ask what specific level of heat you want for your dish. We cannot recommend this place enough!!
Four of us (myself, my wife & our 2 adult children) visited Darbar on Thursday evening. It's a smallish restaurant, not noisy with a nice atmosphere. We had a reservation but arrived early. We sat on the terrasse & had a drink while we waited for our table. The cocktails were excellent. Shortly after being seated at our table Chef arrived, greeted us & before discussing the menu noticed our son's'FROM' sweatshirt. Chef & his girlfriend are FROM fans & this lead to a discussion about the series. The chef then discussed the menu with us. All 4 of us decided on the sampler platter (I forget the name of it) along with an appetizer for 4. The'kids' opted for the meat option while my wife & I had the vegan option. Chef changed the standard vegetarian option to vegan for us. The food & service was excellent. The waiter checked in with us a few times & Chef also stopped by to make sure everything was ok. As we were leaving Chef chatted with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction (which it was) & for a general chit-chat. It's obvious that Chef is a natural'people person' as we saw him visit each table in the restaurant. We had a great time & great food....we will be back.
Had such a great experience at Darbar Restaurant! The food was absolutely exceptional & felt incredibly authentic to Indian cuisine. The lassi especially was a true Punjabi experience
The atmosphere was beautiful, & there was even live music when I visited which made everything feel extra special.
Most importantly, the service was outstanding. You can really tell the head chef is deeply passionate & dedicated to what he does, & it truly shows in every detail
Highly recommend!
Il s'agit du meilleur restaurant indien où j'ai pu manger. La nourriture est excellente. Les saveurs sont au rendez-vous. La formule qui permet de changer la protéine dans un plat est très intéressante. Le service est aussi excellent. Le propriétaire & chef est très sympathique. Le niveau de français du personnel est très bon.
What a delight this restaurant is! Chef Simar visited us at the table over dinner before taking our order, & even checked on us after preparing our meal. The garlic naan was to die for; every curry & dish we had was painstakingly made lactose-free for us, & we couldn't be more pleased. The Patialo Sunrise was delectable; the Ambala Whiskey Sour delicious. Please come support this excellent business!
