Wonderful selection of dishes, and a great vegetarian selection.
The food itself was amazing, wonderful flavours and very tasty.
My only small criticism was that the food wasn't very warm when it got to us. We were seated upstairs and the food came up in a Dumb Waiter, it was then put on the bar where it sat for quite a while sometimes before it was taken to the tables. Our starters were almost cold when they got to us, we had seen them sitting on the bar for quite some while before they were brought over.
The only other small criticism is the way the tables are set out upstairs, our table (for two) was right next to a table of 4 people, we were right on top of each other so it wasn't very private.
But these 2 small issues aside, the food was so tasty, the staff were lovely, so friendly and welcoming.
And they sell alcohol free Cobra which was a welcome treat.
The toilet upstairs where we were sat was clean and tidy, one toilet cubicle shared with all genders. I did not visit the toilet downstairs so can't comment on that.
This is a gem of a place, so glad to have this in our local area, we will definitely be returning.
Darbar was recommended to us by a friend & didn't disappoint! From the welcome greeting at the door, to the courteous exit, the service was impeccable. A Monday night birthday celebratory meal which really was special. A varied menu, steering towards the authentic as opposed to what is considered "Indian" in restaurants in the UK; even the chutneys with poppadoms had been carefully prepared and tasted more authentic than I have had outside of Asia. Excellent portion size, plenty of meat and perfectly cooked rice. Not usually ones for desserts, however, we enjoyed our meal so much, again what we chose were beautifully presented & tasty. Looking around the cosy restaurant all the meals being served looked amazing & we will be returning soon to try the rest of the menu.
The food was lovely. Spice level can be specified at the time of order. Authentic Indian recipes and wonderful chef.
The service is quick, with a polite and pleasant smile. Food is served hot! Just what you need after a fun day at the beach or for an evening out with friends.
I have given four stars mostly because the drinks we ordered ( mango lassi, and nimbus paani) could have been better. The atmosphere, although neat and tidy, didn't feel ethnic enough in my personal opinion.
Rest, all is lovely.
