| - My friend LOVES this place and takes us every time we're in the area, which is about once a month. We're mostly vegetarians, so we tend to go for a selection of the impressively varied vegetarian dishes, usually the ones involving spinach or paneer.
I'm originally from England, where the curry is excellent, so my standards are quite high and I'm rather picky about how I like my curry (not overly sweet, fresh and spiced, creamy without being so tomatoey it tastes like a pasta sauce). Darbar delivers!
Though I would prefer more options on the paneer curries to match the range offer d for chicken, lamb and seafood, I found the shahi dish quite good.
The portions are a little small, perhaps, but rich and flavourful all the same - I would like to have more to facilitate sharing in larger groups, but maybe I'm spoiled by British Indian restaurants that give you so much you always end up with leftovers. At Darbar we're often left mopping the bowls clean with naan bread rather than having any leftovers!
The prices, I think, are reasonable, and the mango lassi is an excellent and generous accompaniment to the meal at about $4 or $5.
I'm definitely coming again!
