    Butter chicken chicken, tikka masala, Chana masala
    Joey B.

    Great service great food clean environment. Great music !! We will be back again soon. Mobin was great thank u !!

    Jan Z.

    We stopped in for an early dinner, 4 in our group. The reviews were right, Darbar is amazing! We had delicious vegetable Pakora while we decided on our other courses. After some deliberation we ended up with a beautiful Hyderabadi Veg Dum Biryani , accompanied by Butter Chicken, Vegetable Korma, Borani Banjan (a delicious Afghan eggplant dish), Shrimp Curry and a Paneer dish. Beverages were tea, rose milk, and the best mango lassi! The service was great. Parking is easy. Neighborhood isn't terribly inviting however we will definitely go back for this food!

    Very, very delicious panipuri! A must try.
    Gale K.

    To be sure, for me, the dicey parking situation is almost enough to keep me away BUT, I'm so glad I didn't let it! This is my second time here, but it has been a while. The food is tasty and well prepared and offers a great variety of options from snacks to entrees and desserts. The service was good and the room is large and comfortable and can accommodate small groups or families easily. There is also an electronic billboard that showcases some of the foods and is behind the counter. I began with panipuri as an appetizer. How does one describe these most delicious crispy cups of chutney, potato and chick pea? Just DELICIOUS and fun to eat! I enjoyed them so much. There are 6 pieces to an order and designed to share. But it was only me and I enjoyed each one of the six (maybe why I had so much of my entree to take home!) I ordered Lamb Saag. The portion is enough for a second meal, if alone. I actually ended up having 2 meals at home with the remainder. The lamb saag(spinach) was tasty and the meat was quite tender and spiced just right for me. I asked for less spice and was happy with what I got. The rice was separately priced but a large portion. I ordered the plain naan which proved a wonderful accompaniment for scooping the lamb. It was flaky, hot and tasty! I am already planning a return with my niece for our September monthly luncheon outing. They also offer Chinese and Afghani dishes. Perhaps I'll try their Afghani fare next time. I like Afghani food too. Do yourself a favor when in the area and enjoy a meal here. If you like Indian food, I don't think you can go wrong.

    Borani Ban Jan and Plain Rice
    Jonah W.

    Somehow I had never heard of Darbar until recently, so imagine my surprise when it turned out to be some of the best Indian food I've ever had. An extensive menu featuring Indian, Chinese, and Afghani cuisines offers many classics that American diners are likely familiar with, plus several new options to try. My party of 3 had a reservation on a Thursday evening, but the place was spacious and far from full. We started with vegetable samosas, which were crispy on the outside with a light, flavorful potato and pea mixture inside. For entrees, we ordered aloo gobi and the Afghani eggplant dish Borani Ban Jan, as well as a side of plain rice and naan. Everything was delicious, but the highlight was the Birani Ban Jan. Served with yogurt and a creamy, slightly smoky tomato base, it was rich and delicious to eat over rice or on its own. I would 100% order it again. The only spot on the experience was our server getting busy and forgetting to bring a mango lassi we ordered. But he was very apologetic about it - and honestly, the food was so good that it really wasn't a big deal.

    Ask the Community - Darbar Halal Restaurant

    Is there a buffet for dinner or lunch?

    No.

    Are there any gluten-free options?

    Lots. I can't give you the names without a menu in front of me, but there are probably two dozen entrees without gluten.

    The menu looks great! Are some of the vegetarian dishes also vegan?

    In our Vegetarian dishes Bingan Bharta and Bhindi Masala is Vegan.

As for the pies, the Banana Cream Pie was awesome. Actually, it was borderline Epic. The Chocolate Cream Pie was a miss. Too much cream and the chocolate didn't go well with the crust, which was too salty. While the banana pie hide the bad crust, the chocolate wasn't able to. The service was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and done well. The restaurant itself mimicked a very narrow club/ bar with some tables and dining behind. Felt like a darker and more expensive P.F. Chang's. I'd only go back for a slice of the Banana Cream Pie ($10), to go.

The good - my order was prepared quickly, and the amount of fish was very generous. The fish was tasty and spicy. The house chow mein that I also ordered had decent (read below) flavor. The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.

Its been so bad the past decade that we decided to give it another chance. Different management, different chefs, different everything basically. The fried flounder was so fried that I could not separate the bones, not only that, you could barely get any meat out of it. Our table had nine people and they only provided 6 buns with our peking duck. I thought they didn't have enough steamer space and was going to bring more but nope. The shrimp in their salted egg pumpkin and shrimp dishes was overcooked and their deep fried pig intestines were extremely stinky. Their portion sizes downsized like crazy and it's so bad that we didn't even finish any of the dishes. The best dish was a stir fry cauliflower dish that I could make at home. It was supposed to come with pork, but I only saw itty bitty pieces of meat. The service was also super bad and slow. I was eating their fried rice and bit on a piece of broken yellow plastic with multiple sharp points. Prior to that, I was feeding my toddler the rice so THANKFULLY it didn't go to him. When we told the server, which was an older lady with glasses and bangs, she's like oh... then she took it to the kitchen and pretended that nothing had ever happened when she came back out. Shes been there for years, and I remember seeing her when we were regulars. I wasn't expecting anything, except for some accountability. I used to love this place so it's pretty sad to see how much it went downhill.... This business needs to be scrapped. The current 3 stars is giving them too much credit and it must have been due to when they used to be good, in the past.
