Delicious! Unfortunately, didn't get a chance to take many photos of food because I was too excited to eat, but 10/10 for flavour and authenticity. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Atmosphere is relaxed, and decor transports you to Iran with beautiful artwork and artisan furniture. Serving platters are large with a variety of foods. Will be back!

Lovely Persian restaurant! We went to Darbar for lunch and we were very satisfied with the food we had! The meat was very tender and tasty. The rice was one of the best I had! Hummus and sour cream were nice as well. We had a Persian ice cream and it was refreshing and unique. At the end we paid around 25 pounds per person. I totally recommend Darbar restaurant!

Great Persian cuisine with characterful atmosphere, delicious food and great staff! Staff were lovely and accommodating for us despite being fully booked when we turned up without a booking Portion sizes are amazing and can easily feed 2 or 3 per main! Food is remarkable and the mixed tea with honey stirrers are to die for, absolutely delicious starters and filling mains. Great sizeable tables however service was a tad on the poor side, no menus brought to us and a couple of missed order i

I visited this restaurant in 2017 and had a really great experience, so I was surprised with all the current 1-star reviews. I went with a group of about 12 who didn't steal the staff at all. We ordered to let the meat cook slowly all day. It was so delicate, it fell from the bone.
