What Mia Saur likes about Darbar Indian Cuisine:
I’ve been coming here regularly for almost ten years and the food is always excellent. I especially recommend the Thali dinners—I normally get one for take out and it’s enough to last me a couple of days. View all feedback. What 1Aravinth S (5 2 years ago on Google doesn't like about Darbar Indian Cuisine:
As someone mentioned in their review, I don't see what all the hype is about. I ordered prawn biryani and it was awful. It seems like they have no clue how to make biryani based on my experience with this dish. At most, you can say they tried to make tomato rice but failed miserably by using poor quality meat. I definitely do not recommend this place, especially for biryani. I will never go back again. View all feedback.
