Josh KennyDecember 5, 2014Darbar has very good Indian good. Be careful when offering takeout, they often forget all the sides, a helpful reminder wouldn't hurt :)
Luke BornheimerFebruary 11, 2015You 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.
- Sue MarksMay 19, 2012Food 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 BulkowskiFebruary 21, 2015Vindaloo ! Lunch buffet ! Hearty north indian standards, but also a south indian ( dosa et al ) subportion of the menu.
Caroline DengJune 27, 2015This place has a great lunch buffet! One of the best Indian food places in Palo Alto!- Josh KennyDecember 5, 2014Butter chicken and chicken tikki masala are both amazing with the garlic naan :)
Fred JohnsonJuly 29, 2013If you order the Thali, ask for gulab jamun for dessert instead of the rice pudding--a real treat!
Venkatesh HodavdekarMay 16, 2012Tried the butter chicken but it wasn't anything great. Chicken saagwala was really good so was the garlic naan.
- The Chicken Tikka Masala is the best thing in the world! 5/5 A+
David SmithNovember 9, 2011The lunch buffet is fresh, delicious, has lots of varied options and is great value.
Dylan HarringtonDecember 21, 2016CTM and samosas are good but they don't serve them in the lunch buffet :/
Order the Tandoori sampler and Chicken Tikka Masala. Best in the world.
Victoria HarmanJanuary 9, 2013On weekdays they close at 9:30 sharp. Do not show up at 9pm or later. They'll only offer you take out and will not seat you :(

"Love Zareens! The food is delish! Palo Alto location gets super crowded so be prepared for wait. Their lamb, naan, boti kabobs and chicken burger are delish"
