Most Disliked
Some diners mention lengthy wait times for food during busy periods, particularly on weekends when the kitchen is bustling. While the food quality generally receives high marks, infrequent comments about inconsistent service can surface, especially if the restaurant is at peak capacity. The decor is another common point of critique; though the atmosphere feels cozy, it may not invoke the quintessential Indian dining aesthetic that some guests expect. A few visitors also express disappointment regarding the lack of availability of certain menu items during busy hours. Being mindful of these aspects can help set realistic expectations before visiting.

Dropped by here last night after working in the area and was amazed by this place. The food was incredible. We had the chicken curry cooked in a wok (fantastic), fried rice and real quality naan breads. We sat in the back as it was quiet and the lady that served us was so helpful with helping us navigate the menu. Great food and amazing service. There's parking just to the side too. 10/10. 👍🏻

"I recently dined at [Darbar] and had the pleasure of being served by [Sageer]. He was incredibly attentive, always making sure our drinks were filled and that we had everything we needed. He was also very knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. The service was outstanding, and Sageer made our dining experience truly enjoyable." Environment was peaceful and food was 10/10 will go again and want to serve by sageer 😍

Good taste and clean restaurant. If they start opening in morning time as well then it would be more convenient and good but still they close late night around 1:30am daily.

I had a lovely evening at this restaurant. I ordered a lamb karahi, egg fried rice, a peri peri burger and a mixed grill. I don't get what those 1 star reviews even mean, the food here was cooked exquisitely. The price may be a little hefty but trust me it will be worth it. They also have a large dining area in the back so it's suitable for party's and weddings. Definitely coming back another time.
