" I have been to various Indian restaurants, but Darbar India stands out for its unique take on the cuisine. The chicken tikka quesadilla was delightful and surprisingly delicious! It's a different take on Indian food that I did not expect but thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were eager to help, although we did wait longer than expected for our mains. Overall, I would return for more fusion flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar India has been my go-to place for Indian food! The flavors of their dishes are authentic, and the ingredients are apparently fresh. The service is friendly, but I did notice some inconsistencies during peak hours. Still, it’s my favorite spot for curry and naan. I appreciate that they offer authentic vegetarian options too. Overall, a wonderful restaurant to satisfy Indian cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Indian cuisine, I had high expectations and was left a bit underwhelmed by my visit to Darbar India. While they do serve some good dishes, the fusion concept here didn't resonate with me. I enjoyed the traditional Butter Chicken, but dishes like the Indian Taco felt out of place. Still, the service was lovely, and the atmosphere felt vibrant. I'd consider coming back to give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely fell in love with Darbar India! I had high hopes coming in and they did not disappoint. The ambiance is cozy and intimate; a beautiful place for a date night or dinner with friends. The highlight was the garlic naan which was so fluffy and paired with their vegan butter chicken – heavenly! The staff was super friendly, always making sure our drinks were filled. It is definitely a place to return to for more culinary wonders. " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar India was fantastic! I loved the modern twist on traditional Indian dishes. The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the samosas and korma. The atmosphere was lovely with good music which contributed to a lovely dining experience. Service was attentive, and my server was happy to explain dishes I wasn't familiar with. Highly recommended if you enjoy a creative approach to Indian food! " (*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*)
