Darbar Fine Indian Cuisine

Jal Pari Hariyali ($17) pan-fried Tasmanian salmon fillet, presented on spiced potatoes, is beautifully cooked. Hiding under a crisp skin, the tender flakes of pink flesh suit the spice blend of turmeric, cashew paste, cumin and coriander powder, turned into a marinade using lemon juice. Tucked down the bottom of a two-page entree list, Bamboo Charcoal Tuna Fish ($17) would be easy to overlook. It reads a bit like a science experiment, and appropriately our tuna spheres arrive in a lidded glass jar.

The clever bamboo charcoal infused cornstarch skin keeps the tuna wonderfully moist, allowing you to appreciate its treatment with fenugreek, mustard seed, garam masala and mint.

It is a bit of a joke that butter chicken costs $22 and it's probably not as good as the butter chicken you can get in a takeaway place for half the price less. Their service was slow and yeah I just could not justify the prices at all.

Ordered take away for home delivery and it took nearly 2 hours to arrive. I live 950 metres away. Food arrived cold and tasted horrible. Expensive too. Never again.

I was there last night 19/05/2010 and I am regular customer as well.However staff does not treat me nicely.I always use coupons for the meal and get discounts.I always use my mobile to do that as its hard to carry coupons on paper all the time as we never know with friends we can have dinner anytime.Yesterday the battery was low on my mobile and staff did not give me any discount.I had such a bad experience I will never go back there again as I felt embarrassed.Being a regular customer I should have been treated differently. There are many nice restaurent around Sydney and in this time of competition I think its important to keep the customers happy.Otherwise we will go somewhere else.I will not go to Darbar again.

Good Food. Good Ambience as ever. The staff was good as well. Food varieties are good but I would like to see some more choices as they haven't change their menu for a long time. Over all, a good place to spend time with friends, family and someone special.
