    Came here for Thanksgiving, and I loved the food so much! Just the perfect kind of feeling you want to have on that day: warm, full, and satisfied! The rice pudding was honestly my favorite. I do wish the portion was bigger given how a bit pricey it was, but it was good food nonetheless. I understand it’s a business, and the owners were very kind and care a lot about their work 😊

    My wife and I enjoyed lunch here today. We are still getting familiar with Indian cuisine and asked the server for some suggestions regarding the amount of spice in each of the dishes. My wife had the Malai Kofta (vegetable and cheese dumplings served in a creamy onion, cashew and herb sauce). I had the Darbar Special Chicken Curry. Both entries were excellent. We had Tandoori Roti and Mango Chutney on the side. We were I thoroughly satisfied with both the food and the service. Great thanks to our server. He was excellent!

    It was our first visit and I think paid reviews wasted our money. We ordered 4-5 different things including this kheer which I uploaded in picture. Everything was below average in taste and the Kheer was so bad in taste, I would say, it would be insult of kheer to say this Kheer. I would not recommend and I am not gonna waste my money again. Horrible experience.

    We’ve had Darbar delivered as well as dine-in, and it is always delicious! Absolutely amazing service and the food (and portions) are perfect. We went for lunch, so no complimentary wine, but will return for dinner sometime soon. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

    Really an excellent experience all around. I have lived and traveled extensively in India, and this was one of the better meals that I have enjoyed. The food was very flavorful and the waiter was great. His suggestions regarding shared appetizers were helpful and spot on. The samosa chat and vegtable jalfreji were especially outstanding. Nice touch of a free glass of wine. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend when you seek some North Indian food.

    We ordered Chicken and Spinach soup, Dal Tadka, and Gulab Jamun for dessert. The food and service were top-notch. However, there was a noticeable odor in the restaurant, reminiscent of a damp cleaning cloth left out for days, resulting in a musty scent. This could be addressed by the restaurant by ensuring proper ventilation and utilizing professional cleaning products and fresheners. On the food front, it was not only delectable but also reasonably priced.

    Came here late on a week day night, we live close and wanted to try it out. Service was welcoming when we arrived. I forget our waitress’s name but she was really sweet and gave great service. We were quickly greeted with water + complementary papadum and 3 sauces (DELICIOUS!) and the server told us their specials. We ordered the Bombay Shrimp, Chicken Tika Masala, and Garlic Naan. Everything was really good! The Bombay Shrimp were super flavorful (almost like a Chinese dish) witch was awesome. The Chicken Tika Masala was well seasoned but a little heavy on the cinnamon and it could’ve been spicier in my opinion. We enjoyed it tho! Garlic Naan was 10/10. The rice they serve with the Tika Masala made the dinner. Super fluffy. So good. The restaurant itself is a little bit outdated and could use a little refreshing. But that’s okay. Bathrooms were very clean. Over all the service, food and price/value were all great. We will definitely come back next time we are craving Indian food!

    This place holds such a special place in my heart . The food is absolutely incredible, the staff are hospitable, and the glass of wine with your meal is a perfect touch . This place just feels like home when you walk in . Thank you Dar Bar for consistently amazing dining experiences.

    Service was very nice and fast. Food came within 15 minutes. Quick to refill water. Only critique would be the flavor of the paneer tikka masala, it was very sweet compared to many other Indian restaurants. Naan was great. I would be back if the sweetness is turned down a bit.

    Good to go for the first time. Recommended for Indian food with plenty of options. Buffet options are also available. Indian vegetarian food options are also available. Reasonable price with dine or take out options. I will recommend it for one time as you will get some taste of Indian foods.

    We’ve ordered takeout from Darbar many times, but this weekend we decided to try the Saturday/Sunday lunch buffet. It was very good! All fresh and hot. A great value, with lamb, chicken, and vegetarian options. We will definitely be back.

    Great food, prices, and service. Ordered two lunches and a third dish and had plenty to share with four people. Got to try a good variety and figure out which dishes to get next time. Our waiter was really nice and our two favorites were his recommendations. I was skeptical about the rice pudding but was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. This is my new favorite Indian restaurant and I hope to get the chance to visit again.
