The food was delicious! So good that I forgot to take a video and dug right in! Even my 4 year old son loved the food and forgot all about his fries! Jess was so kind and thoughtful during our entire visit! Her bubbly and friendly personality made the experience top tier! Definitely coming back again with family! Thank you Jess and the Darbari team for a wonderful dining experience!

We were too hungry to remember to take pictures, so words will have to work. The lentil soup was delicious. It had a lovely aroma and the taste was balanced well. Each of the shish kebabs was great as well. We tried spicy chicken, regular chicken, and beef. To call it beef is inadequate because this place serves filet mignon! The presentation of saffron ri e on jasmine is colorful and appealing. Staff were so attentive and caring. We highly recommend this restaurant.

First time at Darbari and I had the Chicken and beef koobideh combo, Tahdig & Gheimeh and the house made doogh. The koobideh was so flavorful and juicy. Rice was amazing and tahdig super crunchy. The gheimeh’s flavor is great but I wish it was a bit thicker. Doogh was my favorite, tastes just the same as how my family makes it. Service was very friendly and kind. Overall amazing. Will definitely come back! And Nowruz Mobarak to you all!
