    I made reservations for my gfs birthday recently the food was great, restaurant wasn’t crowed or noise and everyone from our group loved the food however the drinks were a tad bit water down, we didn’t get a warm welcome and we had to seat ourselves. I dislike the force tip on top of that the spike in sales tax other then that everything else was ok .

    We had the Lamb Bhuna, Dal Makhani, saag paneer empanada, and garlic cheese naan. All were absolutely amazing! The Taj Mahal beer was also really good! Our server RUSSEL was incredibly nice and attentive! We learned a lot about Indian liquor from him. So much so that my husband had to try Indian Whiskey—which he said was also very good. Thank you, Russell, for the amazing service!

    If you are looking for a quiet spacious environment to enjoy exquisitely prepared food with the ability to focus on your dinner guests this is the place. Service was friendly, helpful and out of the way. Food was delicious Indian cuisine at its best.

    We went to dinner at 6:30 and the restaurant was not crowded. Comfortable dining room beyond standard bar. Ask to be seated in rear. Decor not Disneyesque like some Indian restaurants but simple and nonintrusive. Service was spectacular. Manager, waiter and server all stopped by table several times-restaurant not at all busy. Extensive menu. We ordered family style. Food was very good and servings were ample. Our grandson took some home. We didn't order dessert but they brought us complimentary rice pudding anyway. All in all, very satisfying experience and we would return again if in same part of midtown.

    During a recent trip to NYC, we visited Darbar after reading other’s reviews. It did not disappoint. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is impeccable, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Darbar to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
