Darbar offre une cuisine indienne authentique et raffinée où chaque plat est préparé avec soin à partir d’ingrédients frais, et les saveurs y sont décrites comme explosives et parfaitement équilibrées; le cadre intime et chaleureux, avec une ambiance cosy en hiver et un patio agréable en été, invite à la conversation et à la dégustation, des soirées avec une touche de jazz ayant aussi été saluées; le service est généralement chaleureux, attentif et personnalisable, avec des recommandations adaptées aux tolérances et régimes alimentaires, et l’équipe n’hésite pas à venir à table ou à ajuster les plats; beaucoup considèrent Darbar comme le meilleur restaurant indien de Montréal, voire une perle cachée, et citent des plats phares tels que dal makhani, murgh tikka masala, nihari et bhindi bhaji, ainsi que les naans et des options véganes ou sans gluten appréciées; des retours mentionnent aussi des expériences mémorables grâce à l’implication personnelle du chef et parfois l’ajout d’un groupe live, quelques avis notant un service plus lent en période d’affluence, mais l’ensemble demeure largement positif, soulignant le rapport qualité-prix, l’authenticité et l’esprit familial de l’établissement.
Had a great experience at Darbar last night. The staff was so friendly, attentive, & welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. I also loved the space. Highly recommend & will be back for sure! :)
Our favorite Indian restaurant in Montreal hands down. Our Valentine's meal was wonderful. Food was delicious as always & the atmosphere is cozy & conversation with fellow diners was inspiring. Staff are warm & always go above & beyond. Highly recommended.
Delicious food! Chef makes everything from scratch, very attentive staff & very talented head chef. All their meats are halal which is also a huge plus. Highly recommend
This is such an amazing restaurant! The staff are amazing! The chef came out to our table to talk to us & customized our meals for us! Highly recommend!
I had one of the most delicious, flavorful Indian meals ever at darbar the other evening. I am so glad I discovered this special place. The vegetarian thali platter was exceptional, as was my appetizer of sizzling chicken on skewers served with mint sauce. Plus, wonderful chilled white wine on a hot Montreal evening. I will be back whenever I'm in town; so many dishes on the menu are mouthwatering! The staff is so incredibly friendly & gracious, as is the chef/owner Simar. I also love that darbar is off the beaten path. The real deal, authentic, family run. I highly recommend!
Wonderful food & service. The owner & chef came out to our table & was so welcoming. He recommended dishes & they were all delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant

The food was amazing! Extremely flavorful with an outstanding presentation. The head chef personally greeted us & made recommendations that were spot on! We would highly recommend this hidden gem!
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!
This was hands down the best Indian food I have had in Montreal. from flavor to presentation we were stunned. My personal favorites & recommendations would be to try the seekh kebab, bhindi, chole bhatura & the garlic naan. My absolute favorite was the bhindi, the ingredients are so fresh & so well cooked. I was completely floored I can't praise this place enough. Highly highly recommend !!
Darbar deserves all the stars! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm & inviting. The food was simply incredible-authentic Indian cuisine at its finest. The attention to detail in the flavors made each bite unforgettable. You must also try their one-of-a-kind drinks! The service was just as impressive-attentive, friendly, & efficient. They went above & beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect. If you're looking for an exceptional Indian meal, Darbar is the place to go. Highly recommend!!!!!!!
Highly recommend! We stopped in on a Saturday night without a reservation & they were super accommodating even though it was busy. Maybe call ahead to give them a heads up if it's a weekend night, this place is in high demand! The food was insanely good-- very dynamic flavors, each dish distinct from another. It all felt healthy, fresh, & tasty. The service was lovely & the chef-owner greeted us & gave some background about the restaurant's roots. We came to visit Montreal & it was important to us to support locally owned businesses & Darbar is just that. This is a family restaurant, well worth the visit & the wait if it's busy. Definitely try Darbar.
Love the place! Highly recommend it. After a long day of roaming around, this place felt like home cooked meal! Bangan Bharat & dal tadka were genuinely great!
Our favourite Indian restaurant in Montreal. The food is outstanding; presentation is lovely, flavours are delectable. Great vegan friendly options as well. We always visit Darbar when our family is visiting from Australia. A memorable evening on the terrace thanks to the great ambiance & hospitality of the staff & owners. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend! Thank you Darbar team.
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!
