I told the head chef that this was the best meal I've had in a while, but the more I think about it it may be the best meal I've had....... ever. The service was exceptional, the staff was so caring & welcoming, the environment was so comfortable, & the FOOD. Perfectly balanced, beautifully tender, well portioned & priced. I am struggling to put this into words. It makes sense that the staff are so wonderful & passionate considering what a high degree of excellence they have achieved. I recommend this place to anyone who likes enjoying things.View more

We had the most amazing time at this restaurant on our first day visiting Montreal from Toronto! We showed up without reservations & the lovely chef (Simar) was able to kindly accommodate us. The food was probably the best Indian food I have ever had in my life! Our waitress & all the staff welcomed us so well & went above & beyond to make sure we had a great time! My mom sis & I were so grateful for the overall experience & we will most certainly be back!!!View more

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.View more

Just great high quality food expertly prepared. The head chef was also the server & explained everything well. From classic dishes to his own take with whatever fresh produce is delivered that day, the freshness comes through. Not a pretentious place, just comfortable & surprisingly good value. Very small room so voices carry.View more

I am shocked at how amazing the food was! Like genuinely shocked! The food was finger licking good, ordered more than I could eat & still ate it all! The chefs definitely has magic in their hands, outside of home I have never had such savoury & flavourful food, the aromas & the taste of it all was so magnificent & explosive with flavour I could spend the entire day there trying everything off the menu! If you want Punjabi/South Asian food & you're in Montreal; you have to... wait you NEED to eat here! You'll never go anywhere else after!View more

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!

Stunning. The patio section created the perfect ambiance for eating al fresco on a warm summer evening. The staff, including the chef, was exceptional & very personable. All the food was made fresh upon our order & you could taste the difference. Best Chicken Tikka Masala
(& garlic naan) I have ever eaten. I can't wait for my next visit to Montreal so I can get another meal at Darbar.View more

Excellente adresse! Les plats étaient délicieux, les serveurs donnent de bons conseils & le chef est venu se présenter. On s'est senti très choyés. On reviendra!View more
via LibroThe 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.
via LibroBirthday 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.
via LibroLa nourriture était excellente & remplie de saveurs!! Première expérience à ce restaurant car nous habitons à Québec & nous voulions découvrir un nouvel endroit. Le pain naan était encore chaud & moelleux. Nous avons pris les samosas en entrée qui étaient parfaitement équilibré & la sauce piquante était au choix. Nous avons choisi le thali qui est une combinaison de pain naan, riz, poulet tandoori, poulet au cari & légumes au choix du jour. Chaque tapas était épicé différemment. Le personnel était courtois, ricaneux & gentil, même le chef/propriétaire est venu vérifier si nous avions aimé notre repas. Les prix etaient plus que raisonnables pour la quantité. Assurément nous reviendrons souper ici, quelle belle découverte! Merci pour ce bon repas!

Accueil & personnels exemplaires.
Chef à la hauteur des plus hautes attentes
J y retourne assurément
via LibroLove Darbar. The food is always great. the naans are thick & fluffy & delicious. not too oily, which i love. The head chef came out to introduce himself, he seems to really put his all into this restaurant. What i like is that the waiters do not seem to have specific tables, so you are almost cared for by every waiter, which is super convenient. Love this place. If it wasn't a bit on the pricey side i would be here every week.

We loved it
The chef is the owner & he is really genuine.
The food & the ambiance are great
via LibroDarbar 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!
