Desi Fusion food. Good flavors on most of the things we got. Loved the chicken tikka quesadilla and shrimp puri the most

Good flavors but the price is more reflective of their location because the portions were smaller than expected, even the included rice ran out quickly. And spice levels reflected the community they’re located in too, “medium” was a mild in other towns.

I was in town visiting family, and they said this was their favorite Indian restaurant around, and I can see why! This was my first time here and the food was amazing. The strawberry lassi wasn't too tart and had the right amount of sweetness. The tacos were my favorite, the paneer in the paneer tacos were so soft and the lime balanced the acidity of the onion. The paneer bao buns are new to the menu but also so good, the green chutney really balanced out the other ingredients. Their paneer pizza is also a must try item! The pizza was crispy and very flavorful. The malai sauce elevated the taste too! The staff was so kind, the owner came to chat with us and made sure we got anything we needed. He also provided great recommendations on what to order. The ambiance was nice and not too loud. We came on the weekend, and the place was packed by dinner time (around 7pm), so I recommend coming early or making a reservation.

Awesome Indian food and good value for the price/portion size. Staff are attentive and helpful with recommendations if you're not sure what to order. Hope they expand the outdoor seating area for warmer weather days.

Darbar India is one of the tastiest Indian fusion restaurants in Connecticut! There is so much incredible flavor, your tastebuds and stomach will thank you!Here’s everything you need to try:+ Indian pizza… ORDER THIS. YOU WON’T REGRET IT!

Sunny and his family spent quality time engineering this menu, and it shows! Between the indian pizza, carrot mezcal, indian tacos, and everything in between; THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!The drink menu is excellent! Keeping things traditional with a few favorites like smoked old fashions, and traditional indian lagers. I was blown away by the flavors combos and staff atmosphere. This place is a 10/10 and WILL DEFINITELY have my return business. Anyone wanting to give them a shot, you should do it!
