Ordered takeout Chicken Tikka Massala which was a creamy turmeric currey and the chicken Karahi in smooth tomato sauce with fresh naan for iftar during Ramadan. Was a winner with the fam with good spices but not too much heat.

Absolutely stellar experience with Darbar! This gem offers Afghani, Indian, and Indo-Chinese cuisines. The butter chicken, chicken 65, chili chicken, and various naan options are outstanding and keep me coming back for more. The user-friendly website makes ordering a breeze, complete with weekly specials like 'spend over $40 and get a dish for free', adding incredible value. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality and flavorful dishes!
Mr. Abdul is awesome person. In this restaurant I feel like home. Food is just ?. Please visit this restaurant with friends and family. I really appreciate their service.

Had a chance to try out Darbar Halal, and it was a pleasant surprise! The paneer tikka masala had a rich, creamy sauce with a good blend of spices, not too overwhelming but with enough kick to keep each spoonful interesting. The paneer itself was soft and absorbed the flavors of the masala well. Alongside it, the naan was perfectly done with a nice chewy texture and some charred bits that gave it that authentic tandoor touch. It was great for scooping up the masala sauce. While I can't speak for the other dishes, the fluffy rice, succulent kebabs, and that flavorful looking fried rice on other tables sure made me want to plan my next visit soon. Darbar Halal offers a cozy spot for anyone looking to enjoy some classic Indian dishes done right. Definitely worth popping by if you find yourself with a craving for some good paneer!

Very delicious food. Fresh food. Excellent service. Neat and clean. Nice environment. Friendly staff.
Came to Darbar for lunch with my Famiy. Delicious food everything we got was excellent. Ordered alot of food since there was 11 of us. The service was great as well...Abdul had served us very friendly and nice person. Also the restaurant was clean and spacious. Will definitely come again.
Ate there many times with friends or just by myself. Excellent menu, authentic Afghan food served by friendly service. No wait time at the door. Large enough to accommodate 40 people dinning capability. Order to meal served is 10 minutes or less. No Alcohol beverages are served. Soft beverages are available. Including on site churned yogurt Lassie.CAUTION : customers must flag what level of hot/spicy is preferred. Chilly hot can vary between smoke coming out of the ears to lethally radioactive & served by the Hazmat team in protected gear.Tandoori dishes are divine. Don't forget to order the Tandoori Nan which compliments the curry dishes.
This place was such a great discovery. Food was outstanding and Abdul could not have been a more gracious, welcoming host. Will definitely be back!

I was so excited when I first tried this restaurant a year ago and frequently go back! Every dish has been delicious and flavorful. The samosa chat, saag lamb, and biryani are all delicious. The afghani section of the menu is all incredible!I love having an amazing neighborhood restaurant so close

This is a Sacramento hidden gem. The best thing to happen to Stockton Blvd in quite some time. I can’t stop thinking about the eggplant borani ban jan paired with the bolani. I’ve been back four times in two weeks, and everything I’ve tried has been fantastic. Please go support this awesome local business. You won’t be disappointed!
