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.
Nous avons ADORÉ notre expérience à ce restaurant! Des plats EXQUIS, une ambiance feutrée & un service exceptionnel. Je recommande fortement & nous serons certainement de retour.
I recently dined at this Indian food restaurant, & it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish! The ambiance was inviting, the staff was attentive & friendly, &, most importantly, the food was out of this world.
From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. The flavors in every dish were rich, authentic, & bursting with spices that transported my taste buds straight to India. The menu had a fantastic variety of options to choose from, & each one I tried was a culinary masterpiece.
The butter chicken was creamy & flavorful, the biryani was fragrant & perfectly cooked, & the naan bread was soft & pillowy. I can’t forget to mention the mouthwatering delectable mango lassi, which were the perfect way to start & finish my meal.
The presentation of the dishes was also impressive, showing the care & attention to detail that the chefs put into their craft. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that I left with a satisfied belly.
I can’t recommend this restaurant enough to anyone looking for an authentic Indian dining experience. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place will exceed your expectations. I’ll definitely be returning soon for another unforgettable meal!
Thank you for accommodating our group of 11 in your lovely restaurant. I know the size of our group was a bit of a challenge, but the food was great, the nan was the talk of the team & we had a great time. Thank you again I'd will recommend others to visit when in Montreal.

The best Indian food we've had in Montreal. The owner & Chef took the time to greet us & explain the menu. We were a party of 6 & felt well cared for, not rushed & comfortable. The recommended wine was perfect, the beer tasty & the food bursting with flavor. Darbar is a small space with outdoor seating. We enjoyed it all.
Birthday dinner, party of 4 & we are absolutely delighted with all aspect of the dinner. The owner & chef came several times to make sure we were happy that everything was perfect. We are used to Indian cuisine but at Darbar, we found the food to be more refined with a delicate & sofisticated taste! We loved it & surs recommend it.

Merci beaucoup pour le magnifique accueil! Le service est très courtois & chaleureux. Les assiettes sont bien garnis, un vrai délice!! Aucun assiette est pareil au goût! Un vrai voyage en plein centre ville de Montréal! Très recommandé! On a adoré!
By far, the best Indian food we have ever had. This was our 2nd visit & as usual, they did not disappoint. Both the food & service was above & beyond stellar. The staff treat you like family, most accommodating & will go out of their way to ensure your satisfaction. Darbar is the place that leaves you wanting to come back for more, & although we got our fix of the most delicious food, we already can't wait to go back. We found Darbar after just doing a random search for something new & different that we haven't had before, & what a treasure we stumbled across on. I can't recommend Darbar enough.
First time at the resto, it started with a call from the restaurant to confirm the reservation & to know if there were any food restrictions or allergies. I was impressed by the gesture. Service was very professional, helpful & friendly. Food was delicious, spiced but not extremely hot, very tasty. We had 3 different dishes & were all good. I found the servings a bit small, we had rice & nan on the side & OMG the nan was so good, & the desserts were delicious. Will be going back for sure. It's a place I would highly recommend to my friends.
