Darbar Halal Restaurant

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!

We found this Halal restaurant recently and it is one of the most reliable, authentic, and worth-every-penny restaurant in the Sacramento area.
The menu has various options and the food is excellent with perfect spice levels and flavors according to the dish.
Darbar does a great job in satisfying the back-home cravings by recreating those familiar flavors, especially in South Indian dishes.
As of now we have tried their Lamb Vindaloo, Garlic Naan, Vijayawada Chicken Biryani, Kabuli Pulao, Chicken Lollipop, and Shrimp Noodles.
All the dishes tasted better than our expectations, and came with large portions.
The staff are very friendly and polite.
Till date, we have only done takeout orders, but we are planning to try out the dine-in option soon.
From our experiences, all I can say is that the chances of disappointment in ordering from this restaurant are fairly low.

The worst Viyajawada chicken biryani i have tasted.
The worst dish award goes to their raitha, it was spoiled with too much pungent smell.
I have never tasted such spoiled yogurt in my whole life.
I had to vomit twice remembering the taste. I thought the batter around the chicken pieces was not cooked but when I checked it the chicken was also uncooked. I have no idea how no health inspectors caught these guys. I saw the reviews and ordered the food but honestly if you like to get sick 🤢 try these guys. If you cannot provide fresh food or if you dint have supplies please cancelnthe order but dont spoil our health. MY RATING 0/5 I gave a call to the restaurant he was like you are not the only customer.
He said raitha was not bad after telling him how it was. One thing Mr.
Owner, I am consuming raita or plain yogurt from 30 years every day.
I know when its spoiled.
I tried to inform you and request you not to use it in return you don’t have to back fire.
