| - The food is definitely a 5 star, (I only give it a 3 star because of my past 0star experience there). best Persian rice I've ever had, the kabab was tender and juicy and didn't smell like old meet, $35 for a beef kabab is definitely pricy but since I really enjoyed it, I won't complain. Rice itself was $8, again overprice. The kashke bademjan wasn't good, it was toooo oily and flavorless. The service wa excellent. We had the best server that night, but to my surprise, she insisted on not talking farsi, which seems odd in an Iranian food establishment with majority of customers being Persian.
The ambiance is not like your typical kabab house, it's nice though... my first visit to Darbar was years ago when they just opened up. Back then I loved the food and ask the owner's daughter about the brand. She got so pissed and told me that she would never tell me what rice brand they use because it's their "trade secret" and that she had put on 5 kg, finding this secret rice! Other kabab places never hesitate telling you what rice brand they use. It was so odd! Since the , although I lived close by and we eat kabab every week, I didn't go back to Darbar. Tonight, I was kinda dragged there and I'm happy that I gave it a try because the food was just awesome! The best Persian kabab. But I chose to go back to other kabab houses where they are friendlier and are not scared to tell their customers what rice brand they use!!
The food is 5 star, the owner's daughter's attitude is a 0 star
I ordered one main course and one appetizer, and a glass of wine. My friend only had the wine and the total was over $100. Quite pricy for only one dish, without even knowing what type of rice you've been served! Lol
