" Dining here was an interesting experience. While I appreciate the effort of fusing Indian flavors into pizzas and tacos, I personally prefer more traditional offerings. The service was friendly and quick, but the unique dishes left me confused. I think this restaurant is great if you're looking for something different, but I missed the authenticity. I would still suggest trying it for the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been visiting this restaurant for years and it continues to impress! The menu is always evolving with some amazing fusion dishes but they maintain the authenticity in their flavors too. Whether it's the butter chicken or the Indian tacos, everything is exquisite! The service has always been top notch, they know how to treat repeat customers, and the atmosphere is always cozy. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fabulous dining experience! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles. My friends and I tried a bunch of fusion small plates and traditional entrees, and every dish had its own personality. The Chicken Tikka Pizza was unique and so flavorful, while the Chicken Lollipops were a joy to eat! I highly recommend their spicy mango lassi as well – refreshing and not overly sweet. The ambiance is friendly and inviting; I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Darbar India and was blown away by the authenticity of their dishes. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was perfectly spicy and well-balanced. The naan was fresh and paired excellently with the curry. The service was impeccable, my waiter was prompt and very accommodating. The ambiance was lovely with tasteful decor that made for a great dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for genuine Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I had a less than stellar experience at Darbar India. The food was overly salted for my taste, which overshadowed the otherwise fresh ingredients. The service was decent but not remarkable, and I waited quite long for my food during a quiet night. The environment and décor were pleasant, which was a saving grace, but it wasn't enough to get me to return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Darbar India. The service left a lot to be desired with a long wait time and cold food once it arrived. The butter chicken didn’t have the rich flavor I anticipated; instead, it was bland. The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant decorated well, but the food quality has to improve for me to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just left Darbar India and I can't stop thinking about the food! It was an explosion of flavors. The lamb samosas were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – perfectly seasoned! I also sampled the paneer tikka pizza and it was remarkable. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the staff treated us wonderfully. I will undoubtedly return! " (*Curated Review*)
