Curry and Shakes

I have been to India –I’ve eaten in hole in the walls, I’ve eaten in fine restaurants, in big cities, in small villages, in homes, the works. Darbar is damn good Indian food. The owner hails from the Taj Hotel in India, famous for its food, and he does not disappoint.

Every bite is rich and flavorful and makes you want to do a little shake dance (is that just me?). The meat is perfectly cooked, the sauces are decadant, the naan is soft but somehow crispy also. The saag paneer is one of the tastiest I’ve ever had, the lamb roganjosh just makes me smile (this is awkward when I am by myself), and then there’s the mama of all Indian food – chicken makhani. You know that scene in When Harry met Sally where Sally fakes an orgasm at the diner, and the people next to her say, “I’ll have what she’s having”? I am 99.8% sure Sally was eating this chicken makhani.

Overall, thank you, Darbar, for the curry, the shakes, and the food-gasms. Job well done.
