" After hearing great things about Darbar, I finally visited last week. Their menu is impressive, showcasing a wide array of Pakistani delicacies. I particularly enjoyed the Paye, which was incredibly rich and comforting. The only downside was the somewhat disorderly hustle and bustle in the place, which detracted from the overall experience. Still, I would highly recommend trying their food for its fantastic authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar has charm and authenticity. The menu features a wide variety of dishes that reflect Pakistani culture. The Saag Paneer and Biryani were standout dishes. The waiter was polite and efficient. I suggest visiting on weekdays for a quieter experience; it can get quite packed over the weekends. I will definitely return to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Darbar, and I left with mixed feelings. The highlight was the food; everything we ordered had the signature flavors of Pakistani cuisine. The Lamb Curry was particularly outstanding, full of spices. However, the service was quite slow, and the atmosphere felt a bit chaotic, especially when it was busy. I would recommend it for the food, but management could improve the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" At first glance, I was impressed by the decor and cleanliness of Darbar. However, when the food arrived, I was a bit let down. The Chicken Karahi looked promising but was lacking in spice. While the chaat was flavorful, I expected more consistency across the board. I would visit again to see if it might have just been an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Darbar for dinner. I was expecting more based on the recommendations but found the food just okay. While the Chicken Karahi was decent, I felt some dishes were slightly bland. The service was also slow, which didn't help. Yet, the ambiance was nice, and I might return hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)
