" I have mixed feelings about my visit to Darbar. On one hand, the food was packed with flavor and clearly made with fresh ingredients. I had the paneer butter masala, and it was creamy with the right kick of spice. However, the service lagged a bit during peak hours, leading to long wait times for our food. The vibe was cozy, but if you're in a rush, you might want to plan accordingly. Overall, a decent experience with room for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Darbar. While the food was flavorful, there were a few hiccups with the service. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and it took a while for our orders to be taken and served. However, once the food arrived, it was fantastic! The chicken tikka masala had just the right amount of spice and the garlic naan was fresh and warm. I loved that the chef came out to speak with us and offered us some insights about each dish. It’s a charming restaurant, but I would advise reserving a table as it seems to get busy. Would I return? Absolutely! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing lots about Darbar, I finally had the chance to visit, and I am so glad I did! The atmosphere was inviting from the moment we walked in. I ordered the chana masala, and it was beautifully spiced, reflecting the chef’s dedication to authentic flavors. The naan was soft and made for perfect pairing with the curry. I would suggest making reservations, as even midweek it was busy. Leaving with satisfied bellies, this restaurant is now on my must-try list whenever I'm back in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I have visited! Their use of local ingredients really sets them apart. The dishes not only taste great but looked beautiful too, almost like art. We ordered a mix of appetizers and mains to share, and honestly, everything was delicious. The only complaint was the wait time, but given that everything is made from scratch, I understand it can take longer. Just know, the food is definitely worth it! I will be coming back to this restaurant for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Darbar was enjoyable. The food was flavorful, and clearly prepared with love. We ordered the garlic naan to accompany the butter chicken which was delightful. If there was a takeaway, it would be to consider making reservations ahead as it does fill up quickly. The ambiance was relaxed but things can feel a tad crowded when full. Still, I would return again; the authenticity of flavors is what makes this place stand out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar surprised me in the best way possible! I wasn’t expecting such a well-crafted restaurant from exterior alone. Entering, it felt like stepping into a different world with warmth in the airs and spices filling the room. I tried their fish curry, which was exceptional! The staff were attentive from start to finish and the chef did not hesitate to recommend dishes he felt I would enjoy. I would recommend this charming restaurant to all my friends and look forward to returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed dining at Darbar. The food was rich in flavor with authentic Indian spices beautifully presented. I ordered the veggie thali, which had a delightful mix of lentils, curries, and naan, all great combinations! The chef personally checked in with us, which made us feel valued as customers. The only downside I would say was that the dishes took a bit longer than expected to arrive, so be prepared to sit back and enjoy your time there. Worth a visit for anyone who appreciates good Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
