They had really good food here! Our server was very kind and appropriately present, not overbearing in the least. We didn’t get to try the buffet, but they clearly have one. I’m guessing during lunch the place can feel a bit crowded, but that wouldn’t stop us from visiting. We are looking forward to visiting Darbar again!

This is one of the best (authentic) Indian food I have had in bay area. A very underrated place! I always get vegetarian thali from Darbar, it’s perfectly sufficient for 2 people.

Food coma time. Order the Naan with garlic and butter and it comes with pieces of silantro that make it perfect. Use that to dip into butter chicken and you find yourself on the door steps of heaven.

This place was good! I was thrilled to open up the menu straight to a page filled with vegetarian options. We tried the aloo palak, which was creamed more than others I’ve had, and the Mattar paneer, which was quite flavorful if a little too spicy for my poor tongue. Also the rice and naan were included in the price of the curry – a lovely surprise.

Great place for Indian food at a good price. Lunch times tend to be busy but the waits are not long. Great tandoori chicken and lamb.

Went with a few friends, probably the most authentic taste in Indian food I have had in bay. Their mango lassi was bomb. Ordered chicken tikka masala, fish curry and a spinach chicken curry. Loved the food. Again, don’t forget their lassi.

My friends and I have been going to Darbar for 5 years now. Darbar is hands down our favorite restaurant out of all restaurants in a 30 mile radius of Stanford. All their dishes are made with passion and love, and the taste is pure ecstasy. The portions are wonderful too.
