    Don't try this place .I wanted to try Pakistani food in Istanbul.went this place because of Good rating which I doubt is fake.I m so disappointed. Hygiene was very bad I witness the man had licked his finger before putting nans into the microwave.they don't have any soft drink and I had to go to find Pepsi cans myself.no any food option just Karahi or biryani.i think it's over priced.i had been charged less than 1 kg for 1400 lira which is 40 British pound and 15000 rupee kg in Pak currency. price like this nowhere else even in all UK. He says he will give me salad but when I asked he said no salad and not sauce.owner was full of lie.he told us before order we ll have nans but we been served half cooked white flour chapatis.. horrible and worst experience in Istanbul

    My husband and l are visiting the beautiful city of Istanbul, we will stay here for about two weeks. We did our exploring throughout the city, such as the grand bazaar, famous mosques and other historic locations. We stopped by at the Lahori Darbar couple of days ago, the food was very delicious, the customer service was professional. We loved the food and the service, we recommend people to visit the place at least once, we guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

    I ordered starters from Lahori Darbar yesterday and they arrived on time. Everything was mouth watering and my overall experience was great. Will definitely order again soon.

    They serve breakfast and dinner however they will still closed when we went there 11:26 in the afternoon. I called them and the owner said he lives upstairs and will just send someone down to open the restaurant. Lady came downstairs and she didn’t even washed her face then a girl appeared holding yesterday’s night pan with lentils. The first lady started organising chairs and the girl switched gas. Cannot believe they are in front of one of the most famous breakfast places in Istanbul and they haven’t learnt anything from them. Right opposite is breakfast outlet and people were queuing to be served and these guys were sleeping. On top of this owner is saying provide evidence that if had been there. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE.

    Very disappointing! The food was not authentic and tasty as you known Pakistani food! A very small selection of dishes. And the hygiene and location of the restaurant is miserable! I cannot recommend it.

    As a Pakistani, I can say that the taste is very authentic and really delicious. We ordered Biryani , Aloo Keema & Jalfrezi. Everything is great. They served it with Pakistani style Salad and Raita. I would highly recommend this restaurant ;)

    If you're tired of eating the wraps and all the Turkish cuisine. Then this is the get away place for you. Food is good. Offers almost all the Desi Pakistani dishes and the taste is good too keeping in mind the price tag it comes with. Do give a visit if you're in Istanbul and craving for cheap Pakistani food Don't expect miracles as the price is on the lower end. But the location is also accessible. 5 stars

    I was coming this place regularly for biryani but probably owner changed. Now they become scammers! For biryani they provide two small pieces of chicken. I asked whether it s normal to serve this amount of chicken. They said yes. You can go Asia Lounge in Fatih to eat proper chicken Biryani with cheaper price. i won't come this place anymore.

    Desi lahori taste in Istanbul. Very delicious food. Their chicken karahi taste like popular butt karahi in Lahore. They make fresh food. Their chicken biryani was really tasty. Paratha and chai was great too. Place is run by lovely husband and wife.

    Excellent experience dining at Lahori Darbar. We went as a family of 8 and we wanted Aloo paratha. They didn’t have it on their written menu but kindly offered to make it for us and it was amazing! The chai was also fantastic tasted just like home. It was so good we went back twice on our trip. Great place to visit if you enjoy authentic Pakistani food - highly recommend 5*. The owner is also a lovely guy and good chat.

We understand that trust is paramount, and we're committed to being as transparent as possible with our customers. If someone is submitting a genuine complaint, then kindly attach your receipt along with it. Because we have recently seen some fake reviews spreading around, solely for ruining our brand's image. - Pricing tiers: We offer a variety of pricing tiers to meet the needs of different budgets. Each tier includes a specific set of features and benefits. - Additional costs: There may be additional charges for certain services, such as rush delivery or customization. However, we will always communicate these costs upfront before proceeding with any work. - Special offers and discounts: We frequently offer special promotions and discounts.

Please feel free to contact us directly! This is what I have seen from the owner's post. Please look into this before making your decision. I have personally visited Lahori Darbar multiple times and had a great experience. Indeed the prices might seem high, but that's how it is everywhere in Turkey due to inflation.

    Prices are 20/dish-meat and chicken! 15-daal! The place is not clean. Find an insect in my food! As for taste, not authentic! I brought a Turkish friend here because reviews were good but was highly embarrassed! Location is also not great! Okaish place! Biryani+krhai+2coke was for 56Tl!

    I got obsessed with Pakistani cuisine. And this is some gorgeous Pakistani food. The Lahore speciality. Been twice already and coming again. Also rather budget compared to some other Pakistan restaurants in Istanbul. And the naan texture here is beautiful. AllINAll approved.

    FINALLYYYY SOME GOOD FOOD IN TURKEY!!! The taste of their daal is exactly like that of Lahore, the ingredients are too good, the taste is to die for! The aroma, the spices 🤤🤤🤤 and the prices are super affordable! They serve in convenient portions so you can try so many different dishes. A must try if you're in Istanbul!

  • 2/5 Sam 10 months ago on Google
    I have never been to a restaurant which was so dirty in my whole life. Anyway as we came here after reading reviews, we ordered and to my surprise Food was good in taste as compared to a lot if other countries I tried. But nevertheless, I could not eat the food due to the unhygienic and dirty tables and sittings.

  • 4/5 Naveen H. 6 months ago on Google
    Very good food. Freshly prepared mostly. Reasonable price. They treated us very nicely. Typical Pakistani taste. Its a small set up managed by a nice couple. If you are expecting a Big Restaurant, with elaborated menu, very good seating arrangement, then this is not the place.

  • 5/5 Kunal B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, good prices and very friendly owners.. definitely going back. I had the chicken korma with some Naan.

  • 5/5 Hector L. 1 year ago on Google

Unfortunately we couldn't get Naan and the roti was cold, but chai is a must try!!!! Ps. Jinne Lahore vekya nahi o jummya nahi ! You ain't woke if you haven't visited Lahore.

    They don't have a really nice test but the only thing is that they have Pakistani food and when you go there you feel like it's your own City and you feel comfortable and also speak Urdu

  • 4/5 Iqra K. 1 year ago on Google
    I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal in . I had a 3 course meal, with white rice. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want an authentic taste of desi food,,, highly recommend

  • 1/5 Shuja K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wanted to have something desi for the breakfast and found this place nearby. It was almost 11:30 and they were still cooking, luckily Channa was ready, I wanted to have it with paratha but it could take a while since they were already using stove for cooking other dishes so I asked for naan with Channa and cup of tea. Chanda was not properly cooked and was bit hard, the taste too was average and I can make better channa at home. The tea too was very heavy and you could hardly take some sips as it was too heavy, maybe because of milk or cardamom but just couldn’t finish it. Paid 55 liras for all three items.
