" We visited Darbar as a family, and I have to say it was a delightful experience! I particularly liked the vegan options available. The food was top-notch, truly capturing the essence of Indian flavors. The ambiance was inviting, and the décor created a lovely atmosphere for our meal. Service was friendly too, though it took a little while for our orders to come out, likely due to the busy dinner rush. Overall, great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar offers a diverse and authentic menu that keeps me coming back! The variety is fantastic; whether you’re in the mood for something spicy or on the milder side, there’s something for everyone. I especially appreciate their vegetarian options, which are full of flavor. Eating there is quite an experience—the place has a warm environment, and the servers always seem enthusiastic. A little pricey, but worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for authentic Indian cuisine in this area and finally found it at Darbar! The lamb curry was so tender and packed with spices, and the garlic naan was the perfect companion. The only downside was that the place was pretty crowded, and we had to wait a little longer for our food to arrive. However, it was worth the wait. The staff was friendly and quickly addressed any needs we had. Overall, a fantastic restaurant that I'm looking forward to revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Darbar, I finally attempted their takeout service, and I was not disappointed! The chicken biryani was aromatic and generously spiced. The portion sizes were excellent for the price; I had leftovers for two days! The associated desserts, although limited, were quite pleasant. The only issue was that they forgot one part of my order, which was a tad disappointing. Still, I would return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar has won me over! The moment I stepped in, the warm atmosphere welcomed me. I started with paneer pakoras, which were delicious, and followed it with a rich butter chicken paired with naan. The food was superb—authentic and comforting. Service was friendly and efficient. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the order arrived. Overall, a fantastic spot for Indian food lovers. I can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff who immediately made us feel at home. The menu had a variety of options, which made it hard to choose! We finally settled on a thali which came loaded with different curries and sides, and we practically rolled out of there afterward! The food was delicious, and you could tell it was made with love and high quality ingredients. I appreciated how the restaurant maintained a clean and inviting atmosphere. Definitely on our list to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Darbar was quite mixed. The ambiance of the restaurant is charming, it has a cozy decor that sets a nice mood. However, I wasn't thrilled with the samosas; they were a bit soggy for my liking. On the flip side, the butter chicken had a lovely flavor. The service could have been better; I felt neglected at times even though the restaurant wasn't packed. Overall, I'd say it had its highs and lows. " (*Curated Review*)
