I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The standout, however, was the guy with glasses who served us. He was absolutely excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and always checking in to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Now, onto the food—everything was fantastic, but the Paneer Tikka Masala deserves a special mention. It was absolutely delicious! The paneer was perfectly cooked, and the rich, flavorful sauce paired with just the right amount of spice was the highlight of the meal. It’s definitely one of the best I’ve had! The other dishes we tried were equally impressive, and the portion sizes were generous. I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. If you’re looking for great food and top-notch service, this is the place to go. Don’t miss out on the Paneer Tikka Masala—it's a must-try!
Always an amazing dining experience here at Darbar. The taste and quality of the food are consistent. My husband and I like celebrating special occasions here ❤️
Family owned business Lucky Pajji and Harpeet Kaur are very humble guys., Authentic Indian taste,Malyadri took care of us , we had kababs, Dal Makni with Garlic Naan (yummy).The place has been decorated meticulously.
Loved it amazing date night spot. Fast and amazing service but the food tops everything. Good portion sizes for the price and so flavourful. Definitley options for everyone also can customize to your spice desires!
We've ordered delivery quite a few times and love it!! Their heat scale is good and spicy, so we order the second from the hottest rather than our usual hottest. Their sauce is nice and thick, so it properly sticks to naan & roti when dipping. Their chili pakora are the best we've ever had and mix pakora are delish, too. We eat Indian everywhere we go, across many countries - The quality here is among our favorites! Highly recommend!!
Great Indian restaurant, my go-to in Minneapolis, with very reasonable prices. The spiciness levels are pretty strong, so I’ll stick to levels 0-2 (out of 5). The tikka masala was very good, and the okra curry was great too. The darbar tandoori platter was a bit dry, but the veggies, spices, and value were fantastic (it comes with a side veggie curry and naan). Will definitely come back.
I went here for a date with my partner after just moving to the area and I am in love with this place! It’s affordable, delicious, and has a very classy atmosphere with beautiful decor. The food was delicious! For an appetizer we got the cheese pakora, which was nice and crunchy and came with a wonderful tamarind sauce. For my entree I got the Bangan Bartha which had a lovely Smokey flavor and was a great warm comfort on a cold day. My partner got the coconut vegetable curry which had the perfect amount of coconut to complement the curry spices. Wonderful experience and we will be back!
