" I've just discovered Desi Darbar recently, and honestly, I'm still thinking about the chicken tikka masala days after. It was creamy and perfectly spiced, (not too overwhelming). The garlic naan was great, very fresh! The restaurant itself was clean and inviting although small—more of a takeout place. The staff were welcoming, offering great suggestions. I'll be back to try their specialties soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Desi Darbar weekly for months now, and I can honestly say it’s consistently fantastic. The butter chicken is some of the best I’ve ever had, and the garlic naan is always fresh and fluffy. Each time, the staff seems excited to serve, making my experience even better. If you're in the mood for truly authentic Indian food, this is definitely the place to go. The only downside is the limited seating for dine-in; however, the food more than makes up for it. I would recommend this to everyone, especially if you want to try something different from the regular fare. Also, their chicken tikka pizza is a unique take that surprised me, and I can't wait to try the other dishes! Overall, fantastic experience. Highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Looking for a great Indian culinary experience? Look no further than Desi Darbar! A friend introduced me to their chicken tikka masala, and I was hooked from the first bite. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor! Their naan has become my favorite side; fresh and perfect for scooping up all the curry. I went during a busy lunch hour and was impressed by how efficient the service was—it felt like a well-oiled machine with multiple staff members working together seamlessly. Takeout was the best route for our visit, but I look forward to their growing menu. Five stars all the way! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Desi Darbar during a weekend and it was a good experience overall. The staff was attentive, and the food was flavorful. However, I found that some dishes lacked the authenticity I was looking for, and the portions were a bit smaller than I expected. The butter chicken was delicious and very well presented, but I would have loved a bit more spice in it. Will I return? Yes, but I might explore some other dishes too. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to try Desi Darbar after hearing rave reviews from friends, and we were not disappointed! We ordered the chicken biryani and samosas, both of which were bursting with flavor. The service was warm and welcoming; the owner took time to explain the menu to us since we were newbies to Indian cuisine. I especially loved the chicken biryani—it was perfectly spiced and the chicken was tender. My only complaint was that the dining area is quite small and mostly for takeout, but we enjoyed our meal nonetheless. We will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu. A solid 4!

" Had a delightful experience at Desi Darbar! The attention to detail in service was remarkable, and the food was fantastic. I had the mutton korma, which was tender and rich. I also shared a plate of their mixed grill, which was superb! The variety of spices used reflected the authenticity of Indian cuisine. I appreciate the friendly staff who helped us pick out our meals. I can't recommend this place highly enough; a must-visit for anyone who loves good Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Desi Darbar exceeded my expectations. I was in search of authentic Indian flavors and found it here. The ambiance is casual yet inviting, perfect for grabbing takeout. I tried the lamb tikka masala, and it was divine. The generous portions were perfect, and it was clear that fresh ingredients were used. The service was very responsive, and the staff was eager to help me choose my first Indian meal. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, you won't regret a visit to Desi Darbar. " (*Curated Review*)
