" The service was kind but slow. I waited longer than expected for my food, which was disappointing. On the flip side, the Lamb Curry tasted incredible! It was packed with spices and had a rich flavor profile. The atmosphere is also nice, so I would give it another shot despite the slow service. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the minute I stepped into Darbar, I felt like I was transported to South Asia! The decor is vibrant, and the atmosphere is filled with warmth.

Overall, a lovely dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
