I've had the privilege of enjoying Indian cuisine across many countries, & this restaurant easily ranks among the very best. My colleagues & I had an outstanding experience from start to finish. A special thank you to the owner/chef for taking the time to speak with us personally & for the excellent recommendations - they truly made the meal memorable. 🙏

Only great things to say! Thank you to chef Simar & our waiter Arindom. An amazing experience as usual from the food to the service. They provide an unique experience & personalized menu which shows how much they care for their clientele. My favourite indian restaurant in Montreal, by far.

I've been a long-time fan of this place, but hadn't been back since the father & original owner passed & his son took over. I'm so glad I returned.

We were greeted by the son/chef himself, who was warm, attentive, & clearly committed to carrying on his father's legacy with care & passion. He took the time to ask us a few questions to'get to know us,' then chose our dishes himself, which made the whole experience feel personal & thoughtful.

I love when there's a real family story behind a restaurant, & you can feel it here.

The appetizer was outstanding - a chicken kebab dish served in an oven-style presentation, full of flavor & beautifully done. Our mains & dessert were equally delicious. Best naan I have had in a while.

My friend & I both loved the experience. We ate very well & found the pricing fair for the quality & care. Service was warm & attentive.

Will definitely be back.

This is one of those lovely, little'hole in the wall' restaurants with an owner chef who takes pride in what he serves. If I lived in Montreal I would be a regular. We enjoyed every bite!

Darbar has been one of my partner & my favorite restaurants in Montreal & we often celebrate special occasions there. The chef & staff are always accommodating & friendly & the food & drinks are fantastic. We always try something new when we're there & are always amazed by the complexity of the flavors & the quality of each dish. It's clear how much work & intention goes into every detail. Last night we went for my partner's final night in Montreal before he leaves for the summer & we had a wonderful experience. We ordered the non-vegetarian thali, the seekh kebabs, & the madrasi bakra to share & were blown away by everything we ordered. I also highly recommend the cocktails on the menu, especially the whiskey sour which is phenomenal.

This was fantastic!! The most delicious & innovative Indian cuisine. The service was excellent - the server was knowledgeable & prompt. The owner & head chef visited the table personally to check in as we ordered & as we ate - he is a lovely man who is so wonderfully passionate about his work! We can't to go again & again whenever we visit Montreal.

This is an incredible restaurant. The chef came to our table & helped us craft a perfect dinner. We were with our two young kids who'd always been lukewarm on Indian food. Now they want to drive 5 hours to go back again.
