Darband - Bangaluru India

Amazing ambiance with a lot of seating capacity , food is just awesome..The food has so much of flavour.. great place to hang out with friends.. should definitely visit this outlet. Value for money...

An old time favourite of mine. I have so many good memories which revolve around this quaint, little restaurant with it's unique décor and delectable Persian dishes. However, I preferred it a lot more when the previous owner was around as he was a good natured man who always made it a must to enquire about the food and chat a little with the customers. The only downside to this place is that it is a bit difficult to locate. I would highly recommend their negindar kabab a mixture of lamb, beef and chicken)

This place serves some of the best Persian food in Bangalore. I would love to add 'authentic ' as well because if this is the real deal, then Iranian food rocks!<br/ <br/ I 've visited this restaurant quite a few times and have been met with friendly service and mouth watering meat platters every time. The menu can be daunting which is why it 's advisable to turn to the staff for help deciphering it. They do a good job of explaining the dishes and helping you choose.<br/ <br/ The kebabs are moist, superbly done and packed with flavour. Enough said. The Persian bread, essentially a super huge naan, is a nice dry naan which is a delight to look at. They have kuboos as well which is chewier and softer. Both are pretty good.  <br/ The curries are smooth, very different from Indian curries in that they lack the spice punch that we 're accustomed to. They do pair well with the breads but from my experience, I would say it 's a bit of a hit or miss game because some have been downright bland.<br/ <br/ I invariably order black tea every time I 'm here so the drinks remain a mystery. <br/ <br/ Dining here is a wonderfully laid back and relaxed experience with simple decor and a breezy out doorsy ambience.

Loved the Mutton starters, perfectly spiced but a wee bit too over on the seasoning, but perfectly cooked. Not a major fan of the main course, on suggestion of the gentleman on the other end of the phone, ordered a gravy the bread, the gravy was so undercooked, that the only taste, that I was able taste was off raw tomato ginger. I actually in a kind of a way liked the taste of fresh raw grated tomato which was spiced perfectly but the huge amount of ginger gives you a taste bud burn. Very steeply priced though, but for me starters did the job.

Food: Distinct taste of every dish that we ordered. But quantity was not good.<br/ <br/ Ambience: Great!<br/ Service: Takes long time to prepare food, but the waiters are friendly.<br/ Price: Although food is tasty, the serving is also quite small. I would say it's overpriced.
