Food was ok but expensive, small portions. I ordered a vindaloo I would say I got a Samber not a vindaloo even my wife could eat it. Place could do with an upgrade & it was freezing cold, had to keep my coat on. If you have low expectations you won't be disappointed.

Food was good, service was great and pleasant experience. I personally thought the Garlic naan was over priced, good taste at least. Lamb was done well and the eggplant was also delicious. Rice was good as usual. I've been there many times for lunch (great selection and price) so I would recommend for both lunch or dinner.

I had a very nice experience at Darbar. All the staff were very nice. We had to rush in there because we had a booking of The Rock Observatory at 9.30 PM and after walking from 50th St we had to walk and reach at 46th St, and then have dinner and return back. The staff understood our concern and planned everything very quick. First time in my life i saw someone took orders so quickly and brought back the delicious food. We had Paneer pasanda, jeer rice (he gave complimentary), Tandoori roti, Garlic Naan and Dal makhani..awesome mouth watering food. Hats off to service and understanding our concern.

From the time we entered to the moment we left we were waited on quickly. I started with lassie mango and it was excellent. My main meal was the chef's specialty with chicken while my wife had tiki marsala. Both were very enjoyable. The spices were perfect! Afterwards, we were treated to rice pudding and were blown away by how good it was. Thank you for a great evening meal.

We went for dinner on 28/07. The service was excellent - the food was average. Very very spicy food was served to us first time round and when we spoke to the waiter they replaced it immediately. They even gave us extra roti and Gulab Jamuns on the house but that doesn't compensate for the average tasting food. The restaurant can do with more authentic tasting vegetarian dishes !

If you are looking for "slim but good Indian food" near Grand Central, Manhattan, New York.. this is the place! Darbar - as the name says it, the courtyard of Kings and here Customer is the King. Take out (~ 10 bucks) or Dine in - Both options are great. My only complaint is they get overcrowded on Fridays, but hey, call and make a reservation and you can cut the line. Try the dahi kadi (chick pea balls soaked in spicy yogurt), Keema Naan (Bread stuffed with minced lamb), Okra Crunch, Crab Cake, Sweet Desserts. Chicken is good but their Lamb is the best. You have lots of veggie options too. Don't be afraid of the "Indian Spice"; It is mild here but you can upscale it; Ask for Jolly Chris or Smart Akaash, they can guide you through all options in just 1 minute. Ambience is ok on the 1st floor, but if you care to climb up to 2nd floor, it is still pretty. There is mini bar, with Bombay Sapphire Gin:) But you can order salt/mango lassi too. Give it a try when you are in midtown next time. Your tummy won't be disappointed:)

I'm in NYC twice a year and I make a trip or two to Darbar on every visit. The restaurant offers a nice detour from NYC's tendency towards high prices and excessive showmanship catering to tourists. They offer an authentic and stylish ambiance, fantastic menu, and servers that don't always suggest the highest priced items. Entrees always seem bigger than I'd expect and I usually leave spending less than $30-$40 per person and we order wine and apps. The owner is nice and always around keeping a eye on the floor and kitchen. There's something about that hands on approach that let's you know they appreciate their customers and staff which is a sign of a well run business.

Tonight, four of us feasted on our favorites: chicken tandoori (2 orders), saag paneer (2 orders), eggplant korma, 1 garlic naan and 1 plain naan. We like dining here because the quality has not changed in several years and it is always nice to see the friendly faces of Chris and Akas. Chicken tandoori is never dry and always perfectly seasoned. Chris suggested the rose lassi and I'm glad we tried it. I think I like rose lassi more than mango lassi. Thank you for delivering consistently good food, service and value. We'll see you soon!

My wife and I hired Darbar to cater our wedding, and we could not have been happier! We wanted a delicious dinner buffet, passed hours d'ourves at cocktail hour, and bar staff for 140 people. Some guests had dietary restrictions, ranging from vegan to kosher-lite (no mixing of meat&dairy, etc.), and Darbar's team was amazing at accommodating us. We were a little nervous about how our guests would react to Indian food. It's our favorite, but neither we nor our families are Indian, and some of them come from less adventurous gastronomical backgrounds. We had no need to worry. Everyone loved it! We received so many compliments on the food, and of course, we loved it too. Our wedding was very DIY, at a warehouse venue with no kitchen (sink only). Darbar handled all our flatware and silverware rentals and did a great job setting up and breaking everything down quickly and professionally. The lack of a kitchen did not daunt their catering team at all. Did I mention the food was great? It was great!!

My wife and I stumbled upon Darbar and thank goodness we did. We didn't have much time to eat since we were heading to an off Broadway show that evening and were nervous if we had time for a sit down dinner. We are thrilled we did. We didn't order a huge meal, but what we ordered was fabulous! We were shocked to receive a complimentary dessert before we left too. A huge thank you to the owner for a great evening.

Entrees have decent portions at a slightly premium price (~$18 entree), and the chicken vindaloo was spicy and left my mouth pleasantly burning and my lips tingling. The garlic naan was crispy and seasoned well, but the rice was underwhelming and the portion was very small. Altogether the food was pretty good, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the decor was pleasant.

I was a little nervous about the beets, but trust me, they were perfect. “Be adventurous, try the special.” Words to live by. There’s a reason why people travel just to eat here. Also, don’t forget the garlic naan (fluffy goodness). I will 100 percent be back. Everyone is so kind and attentive.

Really good sit down Indian food restaurant in midtown. Prices weren't bad for the area. We started with the potato cheesecake and vegetable samosas, and continued on with butter chicken and the Madras Curry for our mains. All were delicious. Both meals came with rice and you could request more as needed. Service was very attentive, water was refilled often, and the place had a nice ambiance (tablecloths, candles on the table) I would definitely go back next time I'm in the area and craving Indian food.

Authentic Indian food is served in a buffet style, eat all you can over lunch. It's popular and excellent value for money. Fully recommended for those who'd like a quick, complete but well-priced meal.

Went here for the lunch buffet, which was really good. It's only $15 and there are a lot of options in the buffet to choose from. The staff is very friendly and I enjoyed the atmosphere at Darbar. Would definitely go back again.

Had Indian buffet here and the food was pretty good. They had great service - the waiter was very attentive and always refilled our water when needed and the check came promptly when asked for. Their dessert was some type of flan that tasted a bit like egg custard which was pretty unique to other Indian buffet places ive been to that had rice pudding and other stuff. Would recommend!

Really, really good and for a good price. Was traveling for work when I ate here and I had been craving Indian food for a few days. They did not disappoint! Had the chicken tikka masala, plain naan, and an apple martini. Food was good, service was prompt, atmosphere was casual, and the service staff were very friendly. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by!

I enjoyed the lunch buffet here. It was also competitively priced relative to the similar places in the area. Tax inclusive, it cost $17.35 per person on a weekday. I will definitely go back.

I visit this place a lot since I work right next to it. I have to say the service is always awesome and they keep the place well organized constantly. Pricing is fair and they serve large portions.

One of my favourite go-to restaurant is the Darbar-Best Indian Food. I loved how wide-range their buffet is with a fare price. Great drinks, amazing location and excellent service! I am surely coming back.

Good Indian restaurant in NYC. I felt I was having food in India, and not outside India. Great taste, served food readily and overall well maintained.

The eggplant bowl is absolutely addicting. The pork belly and rump bowl was way better than it should be. What amazing spices. Definitely get the naan. You're going to need it to scoop up all that yummy goodness.

Great sit-down restaurant. Loved their buffet option. Food was made with love. My only issue with this place is they don't accept samsung/apple pay.

We stopped in for lunch and both had the buffet. This place as a very friendly vibe about it. They had a very large selection of dishes at the buffet and like I always do I tried and sample as many as I could. I can say I did not have one thing that I did not love. The naan bread stands out for me. They do have the option to order off the menu if you rather do that.

Food was tasty, waitresses were kind and helpful. But the waiter who managed the payment, he asked for tip. He was not able to accept the fact that we were not allowed to give tip by corporate credit card, and the top on it, we did not want to. Why? It was a self service all you can eat type restaurant. Our table looked like a slope with 10..15°. And our place were small. That is why 3 stars as an average..

We dined here while in a recent trip to NYC. They offer several different nanny options and we tried a few. All toasted to perfection. I had a chicken korma and ordered a chicken curry to take home. Both were exceptional and pretty reasonable priced at $20 and under.

Great little place to get some Indian food that is easy to find. Has some more space to sit than a lot of the other Manhattan restaurants I have seen so we didn't feel rushed and the upper level has a private dining area. Their chicken is excellent and two can dine for a reasonable price.
