Got to try some of their Indian fusion pizzas at an event. They were fantastic. I've had other attempts at Indian fusion pizza, but this is by far the best. The ratio of toppings to curry was perfect. The pizza was also cooked through, with the right amount of crunch. Didn't get a chance to try any other items from the menu, but will definitely be back at some point.
I tried the Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza at Darbar India, and it honestly surprised me in the best way. The flavors hit perfectly the creamy masala sauce, tender tikka pieces, and the cheesy crust all work together. I had it for the first time today, and it instantly became one of my favorite pizzas in Connecticut. I can easily say this is one of the best pizzas in CT. Give it a try if you want something different and really good.
What a delightful and delicious Indian restaurant! Elegant and quiet! Really enjoyed the Naan and Poori bread! Loved the curry and chutney! Service was so friendly and efficient! One of my favorite Indian meals in recent memory!
We recently visited Darbar in Branford for its Indian fusion food and it was well worth the drive. For appetizers, we tried the Chicken Lollipop (huge pieces served with a flavorful tikka masala chutney) and the Onion Rings in Dosa Batter — a creative and delicious fusion dish. Drinks were equally impressive: a refreshing Strawberry Lassi and a Desi-style Old Fashioned infused with cardamom. For mains, we ordered Lamb Vindaloo Tacos and Paneer Tikka Tacos (both medium spicy). The tacos were massive, stuffed, and full of flavor, with an extra vindaloo sauce on the side to adjust spice levels. We ended the meal with a Mango Kulfi that was creamy and satisfying. The food was outstanding, portions were generous, and the staff — especially the lady owner/manager who helped with our table — was
Came here on a Saturday night. 2nd time coming here and this place is delicious!! Samosa chaat, Chicken korma and Chicken madras was great. I ordered the Korma extra spicy and the gentleman that took my order was very nice and asked what spicy level I wanted and I let him know 1-10 i wanted it a 10. It was perfect. Also ordered plain naan which good too. The portions are great. Its a comfortable atmosphere though when its busy it can seem very loud inside from other diners. I will be back!! Everyone working here was pleasant as well.
