I had wanted to go for a while, so I'm glad I got to try it now; it didn't disappoint! The menu is an amalgam of Afghan and Persian dishes - there's a bit of a Persian concentration in Ealing, with lots of competition, so an Afghan restaurant needs to also cater to Persians. However, I was particularly after some Afghan food to offer my friends. The Afghan food was very impressive: the Qabuli Palao (staple of Afghan cuisine) was particularly notable for the chef putting in orange peels into the palao, making it feel like it was a "Qabuli Narenj Palao." (*FYI: "Narenj Palao" is "Orange Palao," another quintessential Afghan palao, made with orange peels.) The Qabuli was sweet, very tasty and the meat was tender and succulent, with the added orange peels proving a delightful new experience. The "Manto" (Afghan meat dumplings) we ordered were also very tasty, and so were the "Kofta" (Afghan meatballs with lentils in tomato sauce). The supposedly "Afghan" lamb kebabs were much more of a Persian style than Afghan, but they were tasty as well. (I have only found one restaurant in all of greater London that do 80% authentic Afghan kebabs - at Masa's in Harrow), and one other restaurant that does 70% authentic Afghan kebabs at Namak Mandi in Tooting Bec; so I'm used to Persian kebabs being substituted for the Afghan kind.) I was glad they had excellent green tea, loose leaf with cardamom as the Afghan alternative to the Persian black tea with cardamom (also popular with Afghans). As something to put on kebabs, they had the Iranian "sumac" but not the Afghan "ghoor-e-angoor" (dried crushed grape seeds) - something I've only come across at Masa's in Harrow. Otherwise, the naan was fine; nothing exceptional, but totally acceptable. The service was very good; a lovely Iranian lady, bringing the cultures together and happy to chat with us. All in all, yes, definitely I'd go again - a sort of creative approach to authentic Afghan food, especially with the Qabuli palao really made an impression.

Unforgettable Christmas Dinner at DARBAR Restaurant!…read more We had the most incredible Christmas dinner at DARBAR, and every dish was an absolute masterpiece! The flavours, the quality, and the warm ambience of this amazing restaurant blew away my entire team. We tried the Lamb Karahi (Karahi Goosht), Afghan Fish, Chicken Kebabs, and Lamb Kebabs, each cooked perfectly and bursting with authentic Afghan spices. But the star of the night was the Qabuli Palaw--honestly, it was out of this world! We've never tasted rice so flavorful and delicious. Afghan cuisine stands apart, and DARBAR is the best place to experience it. We can't wait to come back for more! #AfghanFood #AuthenticFlavors #DARBARRestaurant #ChristmasDinner #LambKarahi #QabuliPalaw #AfghanCuisine #FoodieExperience #BestAfghanRestaurant #LondonEats

My friend and I were looking for food in West Ealing/Broadway. We came across Rezvan and their…read morePersian/Afghan menu was appealing for diversity and affordability. My friend chose the Greek Salad and I chose the Panir-O-Sabzi and the Dal Adas. The Panir-O-Sabzi was an unusual presentation for me. It's basically greens and cheese wrapped in slightly crispy naan. The dish features walnuts, radishes, two leek stalks (potent and avoided those), feta cheese, tarragon, and mint. The Dal Adas was a thick red lentil soup. I do love my lentils. These two dishes, though small, were very filling. Great restaurant choice here!

Some of the best Persian/Afghan food I've had in London! As for the actual restaurant, the decor was very warm, it has a very rustic style, with wooden walls and classic Persian and Afghan artworks surrounding the place. Overall I would highly recommend this place, amazing food, and equally great atmosphere and service! 5*/5

I didn't think the menu was very helpful for someone not to familiar with Indian, Pakistani, Afghani cuisine. Mostly just the name of the dish, no ingredients.

Kinda hard for me to review as I know nothing about Afghan food ... So my menu selections were…read morecompletely random with the inevitable danger of finding all the dishes that least suit my palate ... So with that in mind ... Venue is one step up from the places that have selections of food in metal trays kept warm all day ... Not that I mind eating like I am a Roman ... But basically this is stew and rice or grilled meat with salad ... You can more or less watch the flat breads be cooked to order from the street. I don't know that I would recommend a trip out of anyone's way to eat here (I am sure there are more convenient Afghan restaurants if one has a burning desire to tick off another nations food tasted) but I would say if you need to eat and kill time at Shepherds bush it is worth popping in drink tea and eat. You won't leave hungry and poor which is a good thing ...
