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.
This is the type of restaurant we love dining at. Family run with absolutely amazing food (which mom is making), amazing wait staff who were able to explain all dishes ordered as well as make recommendations on the order so as not to duplicate too many flavours. It is close quarter without the cramped in feeling. Everyone in the restaurant was clearly enjoying themselves & their meals. From the appetizer to the dessert & tea everything was exceptional.

We Looooove this authentic family owned Indian resto....Great friendly service & delicious food! My fav is the tandouri chicken & my husbands' is the saag paneer....& dont forget to order the homemade naan bread- Its marvellous! Enjoy!
It was a really good restaurant. Service was prompt for drinks but we waited awhile for our food. The Malai Kofta was good & I thought the onions in it were a different take!
Darbar has always been one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. We were a party of four, & the staff did everything to make our visit a joy. They even put a couple of tables together for us on the patio. We had the tandoori fish, butter chicken, naan, & a couple of thalis that were absolutely delicious. The chef even made a special mint-coriander chutney for one of my friends, & omitted the yogourt, as she is lactose-intolerant. Thank you, Darbar, for a memorable evening!

I heard lovely things about Darbar so was excited to bring dear out of town friends there for dinner. We were thrilled with the whole experience! The food was outstanding--traditional dishes, but impeccably cooked. You could taste the love that this family puts into their meals. Even better, was the friendly & helpful vibe from everyone working there. Such nice people! What a fabulous evening. I live in the neighbourhood & can't wait to go back. The best onion bhaji we've ever had, delicious bhindi, tasty tandoori fish... the list goes on. Bravo!
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.
