I booked on a Friday night for four. But when we arrived they did not have a table ready, though we weren't very fussed. Food was good if somewhat slow to arrive. The location is indeed nice and rather quiet for a busy Friday night.

This was not my first visit to Darbar. I liked this place very much on its first visit, the ambience is just awesome. The food was great and the service too. So I decide to take my other friends to that place. However the second visit to Darbar actually changed my thoughts about the place. The service was very bad. There was only one waitress on shift. She herself was confused. I had ordered for the Darbar Thali. The food this time was the worst food I had ever eaten. The tables were not even cleaned and set were the guests had eaten and had left long back.
Anyways I am revisiting this place cause once again to give it a try!!!

A great place to take your time, I made the mistake of going hard on the entree. The mains were delicious and plentiful.... unfortunately I was full. But a great venue for group bookings of 8 or more.

We visit Darbar regularly ever since it has been opened. All our family meeting and functions have been booked at Darbar, Darbar has steped up every single time we come to the restaurant on that note the service and food has come a long way from what it used to be. Lovely smilling waiters and very accommodative to your needs.

Food has always been good especially Darbar chat, ck-65 and stuffed egg plant curry is to die for. The atmosphere here can get noisy and loud on the weekends but I guess that's what happens if the restaurant is packed. Great setting and lovely soft music played, we throughly enjoy ourselves coming to Darbar. Keep up the good work Darbar.

Wow, what a great location. And a lovely atmosphere to have an Indian meal. However, the food was very, very average. Chicken Tikka and the Lamb Chop entree which were both advertised as being cooked in the Tandoor oven didn't taste that great because of the huge covering of unnecessary sauce. Not the best.

Then the Chicken Biryani and Lamb Tawa curry for mains were totally over cooked and not worth eating. Didn't stay for desserts. What a shame. The waiters were lovely, and they don't scratch the number on the entertainment card so you'll come back, but I don't think we'll bother.

I've been here 3 times now and can say it's probably my favourite indian restaurant in the area. The food was rich and authentic and the service was fantastic, very attentive staff who even offered to package up our leftover food to take away. The vegie samosas are delicious and delicate. I'm yet to try the masala dosa but that's next on my list. What really sets it apart is the decor, sandstone, candle-lit and cave-like. Sure it would be great if it were byo but there was a larger choice of less expensive wines, I found a great red for $22. Highly recommended!

We had my mother's 50th here in the function room. We had a Bollywood thym on the night. The place was lit by candles and we all had great fun dancing for the Bollywood music we bought (the only thing I can point out is, the management weren't able to provide music for the functions downstairs).

The food was great as always, service fantastic. The food was on time even when the restaurant was packed. Thank you Darbar for making my mother's birthday a great success.

Only thing good at this rest was the ambience. We were a groupof 12 ppl. Food was not good neither was the service. Also they do not have much variety and its not worth the money. May be a large group made a difference.
