Darbar est largement salué comme un restaurant indien intime et chaleureux à Montréal, une affaire familiale où les saveurs sont riches et les plats préparés avec soin et faits maison. Les avis soulignent un service attentif et une expérience personnalisée, avec la présence du chef qui vient en salle pour discuter des plats et les adapter à nos préférences. L'ambiance est cosy et agréable, avec une décoration soignée, des chandelles réelles et une atmosphère propice à la conversation; certains soirs une ambiance jazz live ajoute une touche particulière. Le menu est décrit comme authentique et varié, avec des plats équilibrés et des ingrédients frais, et des options adaptées aux régimes sans gluten ou véganes. Les prix sont jugés raisonnables pour la qualité et les portions, surtout lorsque les plats sont partagés entre amis. Bien que la majorité des expériences soient excellentes, quelques critiques mentionnent des temps d'attente plus longs dans un espace restreint et des plats parfois plus simples. Dans l ensemble, Darbar est perçu comme une destination incontournable pour la cuisine indienne à Montréal, un vrai bijou que les gourmets aiment revisiter.
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.

Absolument fantastique, le meilleur indien (progressive punjabi) du centre-ville. Principalement pour l'excellence de leur cuisine & l'effort mis dans le service & l'atmosphère. Vraiment remarquable, devrait servir de référence comme établissement.
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
An absolutely incredible experience. Food was superb & prepared to perfection. Head chef came & walked us through the menu, providing personalized recommendations based on our preferences. This place is a must visit!
Tastiest restaurant in Montreal, absolutely delicious food, we had a great time. Simar (exec chef) & his mother are very welcoming. Highly recommend even if you're new to indian food in general.
Food at Darbar is super delicious. If you are looking for a home cooked meal taste in a restaurant this is the place to go. Although service is a bit slow it is compensated very well with the authentic tasty Indian food. Kudos to the chef who gives personal attention to every customer. We stuck to the original Veg Thali. & it lived up to its originality.
My wife & I had a wonderful meal here on a recent trip to Montreal. The service was friendly & attentive. We each had a Thali but one vegetarian & one meat version to get a mix of curries that we shared. We really enjoyed their curries - spiced just so as to be not overpowering hot but enough that you could still taste individual spices & the food. That takes some skill to get that spicing right! Sides of samosas, naan & rice were very good. We liked the cumin seeds in the rice. Plates were attractively garnished with tasty pomegranate seeds & coriander. We tried their version of Shahi Tukra, a dessert we've never seen before, made in a puff pastry shell instead of ghee fried bread, with rosewater, cardamom, thickened sweetened milk & nuts & garnished with pomegranite seed. It was excellent!

Very small & quaint restaurant, but the atmosphere is very relaxed, the servers & service were incredible as well!! The food was to die for! Check this place out!
I had a very unique experience here & the food was great, it was personable & quaint. I would definitely recommend & also a word of advice to pre book a table as the restaurant is small.
Dining at Darbar offers an unparalleled culinary journey. Chef & owner Simar personally visits each table, offering insights into the menu & the stories behind your selections. Every dish, having been perfected over months, presents a distinctive twist on traditional Indian cuisine. The ambiance is cozy, complementing the vibrant flavors & lively atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for an unforgettable dining experience.
