Had a wonderful experience here for a valentine’s dinner with my fiancé. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the amazing female artists that performed in the Art x Soul event. Definitely recommending to our friends and will be back again!

Great overall and will be back. Food was delicious. Great cocktails. Little busy this night, so some waiting for initial drink order, etc. Looking forward to trying the brunch next.

First time at this restaurant. We arrived for our 7:30 reservation on the snowiest day of the winter, so the restaurant was not overly busy. Group of 4 friends for trying the Winterlicious menu. After taking our jackets and getting settled, we ordered Negronis to warm up. Our server, Selena, was very engaging and, after we asked, gave us great recommendations from the Winterlicious menu. For starters, two of us each had a very generous serving of the Warm Farro Salad, a crisp mix of Snap Peas, Baby Bok Choy, Black Kale, toasted almonds with a delicious maple balsamic vinaigrette. Loved it. The others had the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken appetizer (also a very generous portion) which was and enjoyed, as was the smaller Scallop ceviche. For mains, 3 of us opted for the Brazilian Chicken Supreme, will HOT grilled jalapeno, coconut jasmine rice under tomato Tumeric Sauce and limes. Delicious. And all 4 of us finished with the Decadent Chocolate Cake (which was outstanding) and Lattes. In summary, wonderful service from our server Selena, generous portions of delicious food, and a very relaxing evening on a cold, wintery night in Toronto. We didn't want to leave... Will definitely come back again.

Wedding lunch with family went amazing! Shout out to Negar our attentive server and good cooks at Darbar restaurant!
