Darbar - Piatti

I highly recommend this restaurant. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all delicious, reminiscent of the amazing food we had while traveling in India. The staff was attentive and it's a great place to go with friends and family, whether they are omnivores or not.

The food at this restaurant is fantastic, and I always enjoy visiting. During a recent short trip, we had the chance to go to Darbar. We sampled their Paneer Do Pyaza, Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, and Lamb Curry. I highly recommend checking it out—you definitely need to try it!

Darbar deserves a 5-star rating. I’ve been coming here for over a decade, and it is the comfort food I always crave whenever I’m out of the Bay Area. The chicken korma and shahi paneer are the stuff dreams are made of. Their sauces can’t be matched anywhere else! Staff are kind and attentive too. Visualizza piatti

The Indian cuisine at this restaurant is exceptionally flavorful and delightful. The Shahi Paneer and Malai Kofta dishes stand out as particularly excellent choices. However, the prices tend to be on the higher side. Some customers might find it unappealing to pay $18 for a plastic container of food.

This restaurant in Palo Alto offers some of the finest cuisine, particularly for vegetarians like me. The Shahi paneer, mixed vegetable curry, and malai kofta are all delectable choices. The freshness of the food is evident even from a distance, creating a wonderfully enjoyable dining experience. I always leave this place feeling delighted and fully satisfied.

The lunch buffet offers a decent selection of North Indian cuisine, although it's not the most extensive. There are plenty of vegetarian options available, but unfortunately, there isn't a paneer dish. The dessert selection is just okay. The naan is served fresh and is quite enjoyable. The service is standard, but not unsatisfactory. The price is quite reasonable, especially given the prime location. Visualizza piatti

As someone else noted in their review, I don't understand what all the excitement is about. I ordered the prawn biryani, and it was terrible. From my experience with this dish, it seems they have no idea how to prepare biryani. You might say they attempted tomato rice, but they completely missed the mark with the poor-quality meat they used. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place, especially for biryani. I won't be returning.

This restaurant offers fantastic food. While they don't have a separate vegan menu, they do have vegetarian options. As a vegan, I find it challenging to dine at Indian restaurants since many dishes contain milk or ghee. However, the staff here are always incredibly helpful in identifying which dishes are vegan and which ones can be modified. If you visit, be sure to try the vegan versions of the mushroom bhaji or baingan bharta (eggplant). Their chana masala is also delicious and completely vegan. Unlike many Indian restaurants, the meals here aren't overly oily. Even when I request vegan options, they substitute naan with roti made from whole wheat flour. I highly recommend this place!

My recent takeout experience at Darbar in Palo Alto left a lot to be desired. While it was busy on a weekend evening, which is understandable, the overall quality of the food fell short. There's only indoor seating available, so keep that in mind if you're looking for an outdoor dining option. My takeout order took a significant amount of time to be prepared around 40 minutes. Masala Chai: This was a major letdown. It was watery and lacked the typical sweetness and robust spice profile of a good masala chai. Aloo Tikki: This was a complete waste of money. It was essentially just plain potato chunks, lacking any seasoning or traditional aloo tikki ingredients. The absence of chutney and the w... Visualizza piatti
