    I went to Darbar Grill with a close friend. For starters, my friend ordered the Gobi Manchurian (Battered Cauliflower) and I ordered the spicy Chicken 65, one of my favorite Indian dishes. For our main dishes, my friend ordered Chicken Mango and I ordered Lamb Rogan Josh. We shared the rice and Garlic Naan. For dessert, he had Gulab Jamun (Deep Fried Cheese Balls) and I had Kheer (Rice Pudding). Both the food and the service were excellent.

    What a wonderful restaurant!!! The food was delicious. The service was impeccable!!! My mother-in-law is hard of hearing. We asked for a quiet table and we were accommodated. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food was soooooo good, very flavorful and so enjoyable. The atmosphere great for having a good time conversing with friends. The servers were so attentive. Definitely calls for another visit. The Lamb Vindaloo was so good and spicy and the rashmi kebab was so smoky and delicious.
