Premier date avec mon mec, moi en mode'je gère les épices, no problemo'. Alors là, dès la première bouchée, BAM ! Le volcan en éruption ! J'avais l'impression d'avoir léché le soleil. La goutte au front, l'alarme incendie prête à se déclencher à cause de la vapeur qui s'échappait de mes oreilles. & pendant ce temps-là, mon copain ? Le nirvana ! Il était en train de communier avec Shiva & les épices, genre il les connaissait tous personnellement. Il m'a regardé comme si j'étais un enfant qui goûte à la moutarde pour la première fois. Moi, je luttais pour ma survie avec un grand sourire figé, j'ai failli pleurer dans mon naan. Deuxième fois, on décide de faire les choses'à l'indienne', assis par terre. Sauf que là, surprise ! Lui, en mode contorsionniste, les jambes derrière la tête, genre'Regarde, je suis un croissant'. Moi, par contre, j'étais plié comme une chaise de camping. En vrai, un poteau électrique a plus de flexibilité que moi. Les jambes engourdies en moins de dix minutes, & chaque bouchée devenait une épreuve d'équilibre. Mon copain rigolait en voyant mes tentatives désespérées pour rester assis sans tomber en avant. Ça m'a pris trois jours pour m'en remettre. Mais bon, faut avouer, leur butter chicken, c'est de la bombe, ça valait bien une séance de kiné après. & le curry d'agneau... mon dieu ! T'as l'impression que ton palais danse le Bharatanatyam. Mais le clou du spectacle, c'est la variété ! Chaque plat, c'est une surprise. Tu te demandes si cette fois tu vas te transformer en dragon ou simplement fondre de plaisir. & le personnel ? Adorables, ils te regardent avec ce sourire complice genre'Oui, tu as sous-estimé nos épices, jeune padawan.' Franchement, c'est le paradis des papilles & l'enfer des amateurs de positions de yoga. & je vais le dire direct : c'est parfait, rien à redire ! Le service, l'ambiance, la bouffe... 5 étoiles partout, les yeux fermés ! Juste un conseil d'ami : si t'es aussi souple qu'un parpaing & que ton seuil de tolérance aux épices s'arrête au paprika, prévois une table, beaucoup d'eau, & peut-être une médaille de bravoure à la sortie !
We were delighted with the quality of the food. Everything from the daal soup to the chicken masala, customized aloo saag for me & my wife's lamb curry was delicious!! The mango lassi was amazing. We also had a tea that was out of this world. It was not on the menu, but recommended by our host, it is did not disappoint! We highly recommend Darbar & we will return!
I enjoyed my food & drink at Darbar. I really enjoyed the fact that the head chef is out & about. The head chef was actually the person who took our orders & gave his personal recommendations. I didn't like that when the chef was taking our order, he was very excited to tell us the types of naan (& make recommendations) but he doesn't mention that the naan costs $6(or $8) extra. So when I got hit with an $8 naan charge, I felt blindsided & a bit taken advantage of. I would've gotten the rice with my butter chicken instead. I also didn't love the time it took to be served, but I think that's more a personal thing. I'm sure some people love the time between dishes to give time to schmooze, but I was antsy by the time the main course came. It took over an hour after the appetizers to get the mains. Overall, I don't have any complaints about the food itself, I just feel like it was expensive for what it was. I think it I had known about the naan I would've done things differently & been a happier customer. Or at least I would've anticipated the charge. I complained & they took off $2, but I should've been more assertive about it. I didn't leave feeling good about it. I guess my feedback if the staff read this: when presenting the types of naan, mention the added costs. Specially if you get the impression someone is new.
What a treat! The food was mouth watering incredible! The chef & owner was so hospitable & welcoming. He not only was in the back, but was also managing the front & serving. Treated us to a new dish he's curating on the house. Presentation, taste & texture of all of the dishes were on point. A hidden gem in Montreal. Definitely coming back. We ordered: tikki chaat (not currently on the menu), chicken saag gosht, lamb nihari, the most incredible malai kofta (nothing like I've ever tasted before), & bhindi. For dessert we had mango cotton candy kulfi with bits of spicy red chili chocolate ganache, & bourbon flamed gulab jamun.
As per the prices charged here, food is not that great! I ordered Non-veg thali & Tandoori Prawns. Thali was sufficient for one person meal it includes 2 sabji, dal makhani rice, roti, papad, & 1 piece of tandoori chicken. Tandoori Prawns was ok it was smelly & too lemony. But they have good options for Cocktails.
A mixed experience overall. We ordered the garlic naan, butter chicken, lamb nihari & saag paneer with rice. The sauces for the curries were all very good & left a really strong first impression. Unfortunately both the meat & paneer were incredibly tough & overcooked. The lamb was mostly bones & fat, the chicken was cut too thin & was chewy, while the paneer was almost like overdone tofu. It's a shame because the flavours were all there but costs were cut with the main ingredients &, at $24 for an entree, the portion sizes didn't make up for it either. Overpriced as well to make matters worse. The mains should have been no more than $18 like most the other Indian restaurants in Montreal. While not pictured, I also have to call out their naan as the worst I've ever had at any Indian restaurant. It was thin, burnt & had the texture of overcooked pizza dough rather than naan. Finally, as a positive note, the service was incredibly warm & friendly when we both arrived & left. However, all the other reviews are correct that you'll never get a refill of water or any attendance during your meal unless you go out of your way to flag someone down. Warm atmosphere & I hope they're able to improve as the basics are there.
First of all, the ambience sucks! It feels choke. 2. The food takes forever to arrive & we weren't told this 3. They didn't ask for how spicy we want it & when we got the food it's just too sweet first for a chicken masala & a lamb korma 4. When we complained, they said it's our fault, we should have asked or our server should have told us (which they didn't) 5. Lastly, the worst part is that the place is packed & everyone seems to be happy which is funny cos it's either people here don't know what Indian food should taste like or what good service is. How mediocrity thrives in Montréal scares me! I'm giving it 2 stars just to be a nice guy. Oh I forgot, even the Nan bread sucks & the food quantity is just too small.
Food is not authentic Indian food. Biryani had cherry tomatoes in it. Murg tikka masala tasted more like butter chicken . Garlic naan was like a store bought naan
I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala to take out -- while it was quitey tasty the portion size was measly. Sad to say, I didn't get my money's worth.
