" The food at Darbar was incredible, with such vibrant flavors that it's easy to forget you're in Montreal. My companions and I couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything tasted! The service was attentive, and I was impressed by how the chef made it a point to connect with everyone in the restaurant, sharing stories about the items on the menu. I opted for the chicken korma which was creamy and not overly spicy, edging on the perfect balance. Definitely coming back for round two! " (*Curated Review*)

The chef was kind enough to personalize some dishes based on our preferences, which added our own twist to a few celebrated recipes. I left feeling satisfied and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to try some authentic Indian fare in Montreal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Darbar left a lasting impression on me! I visited during my trip to Montreal and went for an early dinner. The flavors were out of this world—spicy but well-balanced. I ordered the shrimp curry, which was generously portioned and came with an amazing side of saffron rice. The cocktails were also worth mentioning; they added a unique flair to our meal. If you’re looking for a place that values authentic cooking, this is it! Just be prepared for a possible wait as the restaurant was quite busy, but trust me, it’s worth every moment!

The ambiance felt intimate, and the staff was attentive without being overbearing. I can’t wait to return and try more from their enticing menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to have dinner at Darbar on a Saturday night and it was truly an incredible experience. The first thing I noticed was the inviting ambiance, with soft lighting and cozy seating that made us feel right at home. The chef personally greeted us at our table which added a special touch. The menu was filled with traditional Indian dishes that showcased authentic flavors, and I opted for the butter chicken. It was rich, creamy, and spiced perfectly. The naan was fluffy and paired beautifully with the curry. The service was impeccable, with our server attending to our every need without being intrusive. Overall, an amazing evening, and I will definitely return soon! " (*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*)
