Darbar has very good Indian good. Be careful when offering takeout , they often forget all the sides, a helpful reminder wouldn't hurt :)

Luke Bornheimer

You can get a box to fill up at the buffet and take out for $13, and it comes with naan . Great deal for two people willing to split a box. And there's more than enough food for two people in the box.

Curtis Gross

If you like hot food, the vindaloo is fantastic.

Sue Marks

Food was great. Chicken Curry , Butter Chicken and Tandoori Chicken were really good. If you don't like spicy - order mild. Spinach Palak Paneer is fantastic!

Brian Bulkowski

Vindaloo ! Lunch buffet ! Hearty north indian standards, but also a south indian ( dosa et al ) subportion of the menu.

Caroline Deng

This place has a great lunch buffet ! One of the best Indian food places in Palo Alto!

Josh Kenny

Butter chicken and chicken tikki masala are both amazing with the garlic naan :)

Alice Fang

Great for catering . For eating in, hard to get both your meats & veggies .

Gloria Kreitman

Aloo Goni, Chana Masala , Masala Dosa....fresh and delicious

Fred Johnson

If you order the Thali , ask for gulab jamun for dessert instead of the rice pudding--a real treat!

Zach Meyer

The Chicken Tikka Masala is the best thing in the world! 5/5 A+
