" Not worth the wait and hype! I had heard amazing things about their biryani, but it was just okay. The lamb was nice but the spices were lacking. Service was slow, although the staff was apologetic about the delays. Disappointing overall for me, might give it another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Royal Darbar last weekend with my family and I must say the experience was quite mixed. The biryani was flavorful, but the chicken had a slight overcooked texture. Service was a bit slow at first which was disappointing, but the ambiance made up for it. I think they have potential; I just hope the kitchen keeps improving! " (*Curated Review*)

" Royal Darbar is a hidden gem! The lamb curry was out of this world—so tender and beautifully spiced. I'm usually picky about Indian food, but they nailed it here. Perfect amount of heat and spice blend; not overwhelming at all. The decor added to the nice vibe, perfect for family nights. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience here. The food was flavorful, but the servings were on the smaller side compared to other Indian places I’ve visited. The waitstaff were friendly but took a while to attend us. I would recommend this place for takeout rather than dine-in. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at Royal Darbar. The food was okay, but there was nothing exceptional about it. The ambiance felt a bit crowded, and the server seemed overwhelmed. I ordered the butter chicken, hoping for something traditional, but it just had a heavy sweetness rather than the usual depth of flavors. Won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Royal Darbar last week and it was a delightful experience. The ghee roast chicken biryani was aromatic and had the right spice levels. The service was excellent with quick responses and friendly staff. As someone who loves Indian cuisine, this place felt authentic—each dish reminded me of my grandmother's cooking! A definite five-star spot on my list! " (*Curated Review*)

" Royal Darbar is a go-to for any occasion! The ghee rice served with their curries adds a unique touch, which I loved. I also appreciate how they cater to spicy preferences—mine was just perfect! The staff were friendly and check in frequently enough to keep me happy. Wish I could come here every week! " (*Curated Review*)
