Darbar never disappoints. Menu is a mix of dishes from throughout India, and lets you really explore a lot of different tastes. From the fresh Naan to Korma to Tika, you can try something new every time.Update-Karhai Lamb is a must try. As are appetizers like the onion bhaji's!

We ordered take out for tikka masala, qorma, samosas, and gulab jamun.The qorma was extremely sweet to the point where I couldnt taste my pop. Everything else was amazing and I would definately try the other curries next time.

Disappointed. The butter chicken has 0 tomato in it, and tasted oddly like bacon, please change the name of this dish, because it is not butter chicken. The Lamb Rogan Josh was quite good. The Darbar rice was a bit too fragrant but to each their own. The samosas had probably the worst filling I’ve tasted in 35 years.

Yellow Butter Chicken??? It was not Butter Chicken. It was so sweet a diabetic would be calling 911. This restaurant is not Indian food. An hour to get it with 2 tables being served. The menu or website do not have photos so you have no idea if you have no experience in Indian food. The waiter was useless. Nope,,,never again.

I used to go here all the time. The food is always good. However, the restaurant's lunch hours have been reduced. Our lunch party was waiting for a friend to join us. We got there at noon and by 12:15 our friend had still not arrived. It was at that point the waiter came by and curtly told us that they were closing at 1 pm. As we were not sure when our friend would join us, we decided that we would go someplace else. When leaving we turned around to check the hours as we could have sworn it was 2 pm that they closed, but the sign read lunch until 1:30 pm (but not 1 pm as was told to us).Our friend showed up at 12:30 and had we not been feeling that we were putting the restaurant out we would have stayed and enjoyed lunch.The following week a friend and I went there for dinner. I would not have gone except that it was my friend's birthday and they wanted to go there. What a completely different experience. The waiters were most pleasant and the food was good.

The ambiance, interiors and setup is pretty amazing. The round window seats overlooking the streets provide a wonderful vibe. The staff is friendly however they were pretty below in serving and we had to wait for a long time to get our orders despite us being the only people who were dining in. We saw multiple delivery orders picked up during our dine in. As we weren't local to Kingston so we had no other option than to wait.Coming to the food, we had ordered Lassi in drinks that was mango flavored, we didn't expect that was coming. The Mulligatawny soup we ordered was pretty thin in consistency. The tea was okay. For the main course we had ordered chicken tikka masala which we didn't like in terms of taste and cooking. The chicken pieces didn't at all taste like tikka, it was like the same cubes used in butter chicken. The prawn phatia was too sweet in taste. The mixed veg was Average. Overall an average experience with a huge room for improvement in terms of food taste.

This place should be fined for even calling themselves Indian cuisine, worst experience ever. Mutter Paneer was just boiled and mixed, worst butter chicken, ever. Spent 70$ with delivery and tips for butter chicken, mutter paneer and one Naan. Never ever gonna order from their. They are overrated and I am sure these are false reviews. Shame on you!

This is the second time I have been dissapointed in an so called Indian restaurant at Kingston.No taste at all in any of the cuisine we ordered and they made us wait for atleast 1 hour even though we were the only one at the restaurant.

Do not order from here. I don't think I have ever written a 1 star review. I am contacting my credit card company for a chargeback for this disgusting joke of dinner". Two of the dishes we received (Shahi paneer & paneer muglai) were almost empty. Literally there was a couple tablespoons of food. Paneer was very old and hard. Very oily and disgusting. We paid $50 for empty containers of food. Avoid this place at all costs. Hopefully we can get our money back."

Between 1000 curry and Flavours of India , this has been the best experience so far by a mile. The flavour and consistency is similar to what you might find at flavours of India but the prices are MuCH much friendlier and close to what you might find at 1000 curryThe sauces are much smoother if you prefer that (I do) than 1000 Curry and Sabres, there isn't much seperation of oils and everything is brought together nicely.Presentation is good, nothing to complain about, service is extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions. Very home-like experience !My better half ordered the chicken tikka masala and I ordered the chicken vindaloo and I can confirm that the vindaloo is hotter than the vindaloo at 1000 curry, not even close. The tikka masala was as delicious as you might expect and we can't wait to go backDelivery is free over 50$, bathrooms are upstairs and overall restaurant size is on the smaller side but not too small . Pictured is the vindaloo with tikka masala in backgroundThis is 100% our go to Indian restaurant for Kingston, don't pass it by !
