About Darbar Fine Indian Cuisine

A new benchmark in Indian Dining has been reached. From the fiery Tandoor - ovengrilled chicken and mild lamb khormas from the north to the spicy dishes of the south. It is almost impossible to appreciate India at a glance, but at Darbar you will experience a taste of what India is like.

The Mughals brought with them to India exotic spices, fruit and nuts, which they combined with meat, vegtables, milk and cream to create rich mouthwatering Murghali Dishes. These are amongst the finest in Indian Regional Cuisine. Darbar Brings this authentic taste to you. Recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation mixed with melodic spices that become music to your mouth are the trademarks of fine Indian Cuisine.

Also enjoy the exotic flavour of our South Indian Cuisine, such as Idly, Dosa and Uthappam, at Darbar. We have left no stone unturned to let you enjoy the taste of the hundreds of types of dishes from all over the Indian subcontinent, categorised as mild medium or hot.

    DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT. The good reviews are from two years ago. Obviously they have changed management since then. I waiting TWO HOURS for my food and when it arrived they had got the order wrong! So they went back and I didn't get what I ordered until THREE HOURS after the order was placed.   (Lee - See my reviews (63) - May, 2013)

  • Overall 4 - Food 6, Value 5, Speed 1

    Had to call them after ninety minutes. The guy told us there had been a mix up and he'd be a further thirty minutes. He pulled up in a taxi and told us that one of the dishes we ordered, the darbar chat, was "no good", so he'd replaced it with chicken tikka. Would have been nice for him to phone us beforehand to let us know, considering we're vegetarian.

    Have always loved eating at Darbar, but the delivery service was extremely disappointing, and the food was not its usual quality.   (Jenny - April, 2013)

  • Overall 5.7 - Food 7, Value 4, Speed 6

    Food was alright, arrived after one hour. $17 for a dosa not worth it, but no one else delivering around so left with no options. overall - ok   (gaurav - See my reviews (2) - April, 2013)

  • Overall 1.7 - Food 3, Value 2, Speed 0

    Original delivery time was 1.5hrs after order. We started calling after 1hr40mins, and were told the food had left 20mins before. After 2hs, and multiple calls to the restaurant that weren't answered, we gave up waiting, cooked our own, and sent the driver away with the cold food when he finally arrived. Staff very rude when we finally reached them. Poor service.   (Belinda - April, 2013)

  • Overall 4.7 - Food 7, Value 5, Speed 2

    The food had good flavours but took an hour to deliver. This time is OK but the food was not hot enough and may have been in transit too long. Overall a good tasting meal and better than other Indian food in this area. Work on your delivery time if you want yo do the food justice. Will order again.   (peter - February, 2013)

  • Overall 3 - Food 2, Value 2, Speed 5

    Wouldn't eat from here again... Too salty, barely warm when picked up and expensive.   (Matthew - January, 2013)

  • Overall 1.3 - Food 4, Value 0, Speed 0

    Original delivery time was an unreasonable time after order. Food was eventually delivered an hour late. No notifictaton from restaurant. Food cold.

    Despite being a regular customer wont be ordering from this restaurant again.

    Very poor service.   (October, 2012)

  • Overall 6.3 - Food 8, Value 6, Speed 5

    Food and delivery was good. Did not receive as much food as other Indian restaurants we have have ordered from. Most likely will order from another place from now as we have found one which the food and service was better. However this place is not bad.   (See my reviews (3) - October, 2012)

  • Overall 0 - Food 0, Value 0, Speed 0

    Rubbish!!!!

    Cold, 45 mins late.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.   (Nathan - August, 2012)

  • Overall 2.7 - Food 5, Value 3, Speed 0

    Cold food. 1hr 45min to delivery with no apology and I live in the CBD. What can I say? Never, ever, ever again... Wish i would have read the reviews before I wasted a Sunday evening on this joint.   (Mike - August, 2012)

  • Overall 1 - Food 1, Value 1, Speed 1

    Food arrived completely cold. Delivery received 1.5 hours after order was placed. Never again.   (Maria - See my reviews (2) - July, 2012)

  • Overall 3.3 - Food 10, Value 0, Speed 0

    Delivery was late (took 1hr 20min we were told 40 min delivery time), food was dead cold and the order wrong, I rang the restaurant and they said they would call the driver, 15 mins later the restaurant called back I answered and the woman said hello I answered hello and then had a conversation with someone else in the restaurant for about a minute then decided to talk to me advising me that they had given our order to another customer and that they would swap I explained how cold it already was and the lady said she would call me back and arrange a discount food came another 20 mins later our order was still not complete I called again to advise our papadums were missing. The lay said the driver would come back with them. 30 mons later the driver called to say he wouldn't be back with our papadums and he couldn't refund our $ due to ordering from menu log and that he could bring us $4 by then I had given up. I am nearly 8 months pregnant and diabetic I'd had my insulin shot according to the delivery time and as delivery went over time I began to become hypoglycemic. I was disappointed by Darbars service and am appalled that no satisfactory resolution was made to me as the customer my family, friends and extended family all live in the area and go to Darbar regularly. I will be sure to tell everyone of my experience. I hope Darbar read this and improve their service. I will say that once we heated the food in the microwave it tasted great. I couldn't have the chicken as it had been left to go cold and would be unsafe for a pregnant woman to eat. I certainly will not pay a premium for service from Darbar again and it's disappointing that a discount can not be made because of ordering through menu log I am now hesitant to use this service too.   (Tara - See my reviews (2) - July, 2012)

  • Overall 0 - Food 0, Value 0, Speed 0

    I was a fan of Darbar when they first opened, but the service has gone from bad, to worse, to abysmal to completely unacceptable. Latest experience: The food took almost two hours to arrive, we received three phone calls (from a taxi driver!) to find out what our address was, the food not only arrived cold, but appeared to have been chucked around the cab with the result that the palak paneer had leaked right through the bag and the papadums were crushed. I called the restaurant to complain, got the answering machine and left a message requesting a phone call and a credit to my card. So far, no response. Sorry Darbar: that's the last time.   (Dawn - May, 2012)

  • Overall 3.7 - Food 7, Value 3, Speed 1

    Nice food, definitely better than the average call-in Indian, but the service is woeful. My meal was full of chilli, which was not on the menu, and delivery was really late. When I called to ask when we might receive it, I was told "soon" (clearly had no idea). Would be worth the extra $$ if the service was good, but it's not.   (Samantha - See my reviews (8) - November, 2011)

  • Overall 6.7 - Food 9, Value 4, Speed 7

    Have eaten in and ordered many times. This is an EXPENSIVE Indian, but the food is excellent. Well defined flavours, good meat quality, good portions. Service not always brilliant in the restaurant and a few too many wine selections. The Darbar Chat looks pretty but is pretty much the only horror story on the menu to my mind, sickly and brutal. I've eaten all the vegetarian options and sampled numerous others. Try the pancake entree! But be warned the large is too big even for two.   (Jacqueline - See my reviews (4) - June, 2011)

  • Overall 0 - Food 0, Value 0, Speed 0

    bad service. organised a party and half of the guests left without food. one of the guests asked for a takeaway and these people gave them just a curry for takeaway. this place is a disgrace in the name of service. if anyone is even thinking of having food here think twice. plus the manager and owners are too rude even for an apology,   (bad bad and only bad - June, 2011)

  • Overall 9 - Food 7, Value 10, Speed 10

    Good food, picked up in 25 mins from the order time.   (Ali - May, 2011)

  • Overall 4.7 - Food 7, Value 5, Speed 2

    delivery is kinda poor. food were cold when they arrived. :(   (elvin - See my reviews (9) - May, 2011)

  • Overall 1 - Food 1, Value 1, Speed 1

    It took an hour and a half for the delivery to arrive and when it did, they gave me someone else's order.   (Clara - February, 2011)

  • Overall 3.7 - Food 4, Value 6, Speed 1

    Awful experience. Delivery time took 85 minutes. I called the restaurant 3 times to check up but only got answering machine.

    Food was delievered cold and with a shrug saying 'we're busy'.

    Very poor.   (Amanda - January, 2011)

  • Overall 5.7 - Food 8, Value 8, Speed 1

    Food was good but EXTREMELY late. I had to ring up the company to talk to someone to find out that my delivery had been delayed..but no one had informed me. Not worth the two hour lateness.   (Ben - See my reviews (3) - December, 2010)

  • Overall 7.3 - Food 9, Value 8, Speed 5

    excellent food, highly recommended!   (Michael - See my reviews (9) - November, 2010)

  • Overall 2 - Food 3, Value 2, Speed 1

    Our food was 90 minutes late. Ridiculous. We will never order from here again. Don't bother.   (Mark - See my reviews (2) - November, 2010)

  • Overall 7 - Food 8, Value 6, Speed 7

    The food was tasty, but I''m not sure it is significantly better than many other indian places, which are much cheaper. Also, although the website said the expected delivery time was around 30 min, it was closer to 60. But they have some good deals, so would consider ordering from here again.   (Marija - See my reviews (5) - November, 2010)

  • Overall 2.3 - Food 2, Value 4, Speed 1

    The food was delivered cold and took 2 hours to be delivered. :(   (Scott - See my reviews (4) - October, 2010)

  • Overall 1 - Food 1, Value 1, Speed 1

    the food was 90 minutes late. I am just speechless that service like this is even allowed   (daisy - August, 2010)

  • Overall 8.3 - Food 9, Value 8, Speed 8

    Food was excellent although the korma was a little spicier than expected   (Vikki - August, 2010)

  • Overall 3 - Food 4, Value 3, Speed 2

    Had the Chat Pat Chicken and Apollo Fish. Foods were substandard, portions were so small for the price and they arrived late.   (Ewan - See my reviews (33) - July, 2010)

  • Overall 3 - Food 4, Value 4, Speed 1

    Terrible experience. Food took 2 hours to arrive. The driver wasn't apologetic at all, and didn't seem to care.

    Worst service I have experienced in my lifetime.   (Andrew - See my reviews (3) - June, 2010)

  • Overall 9.3 - Food 10, Value 8, Speed 10

    Fantastic flavorsome food, will definitely order again! Shame it's so pricey!   (lescarleton - June, 2010)

    • Overall 8.3 - Food 9, Ambience 7, Value 8, Service 9

      Been meaning to try Darbar for a while. We weren't disappointed. The food was excellent (and different from the normal Indian fare). The service was excellent - we didn't have to wait for anything. A minor point was that it was a bit noisy inside, but this didn't really matter. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old building and it was worth a bit of noise to have the experience. I'll be back.   (benster - See my reviews (11) - November, 2011)

    • Overall 1 - Food 1, Ambience 1, Value 1, Service 1

      I would not recommend any one go to this restaurant. When we arrived it seemed nice enough apart from it being cold inside, we sat down and were given the menu's and ordered or entrée came out and was smothered in some kind of chutney like substance which completely overpowered the dish, and left an unsavory taste in your mouth. Next our mains took over an hour to be brought to us and other parties whom arrived later than us were served first. Our main finally turned up, as well as looking unappetizing the lamb dish was overpowered by a salty taste which spoiled the entire dish. Over all poor service bad food and terrible mango lassies.

      I would not recommend anyone go to this place until they pick up there act and learn to cook.   (June, 2009)

      Very pleasant this time, as not too many people so the noise levels were tolerable. This was my only complaint last time we ate there. Excellent food and ambience, plus the service were very good. Would definitely recommend, but not Friday or Saturday nights, just too noisy!   (March, 2007)

    • Overall 6 - Food 9, Ambience 6, Value 7, Service 2

      I had heard about the food and wasn't disappointed. We were let down by the service. The waiters were rude and couldn't be bothered. The waitress was good. We had to ask for menus, wine lists and water. The TV screens aren't necessary.   (John - February, 2007)

    • Overall 8 - Food 9, Ambience 8, Value 8, Service 7

      We have been going to Darbar for more than 18months - the food is consistently very good. Service at lunch time can be challenging as the chef is also the waiter! On a crowded evening, the ambience and service is very good. Good value for money and a different 'Indian' restaurant.   (roulette - September, 2006)
