Persia Darbar — Restaurant in Mumbai

Persia Darbar is one of the few places that cater to the honest-to-goodness flavours of mughlai cuisines encompassing delicacies from North India and Hyderabad. It has an aesthetic ambience to it with a decor, precisely featured with traditional design elements. The moment you enter the restaurant, there is this sense of satisfaction that it imparts. The menu is substantial in terms of variety and extends it's culinary spectrum to Chinese cuisine as well.

While you sit back and relax in comfortable seats, some of the most enthralling and palatable meals are prepared in the kitchen of 'Persia Darbar'. The gastronomic quality and variety of dishes is admirable.

Starters Our table was loaded with a plethora of appetizers. We started off with Murgh Kalimir Tandoori and Murgh Zafrani Kebab. The quality and portion sizes of these appetizers are top notch.

"Murgh Kalimiri Tandoori" is an expertly crafted dish that offers a meld of juiciness of chicken with a coat of a creamy twist to it. It's one of the best selling dishes over here, certainly among the first rate ones in the menu. Strongly recommended by the staff and other customers who dine frequently. "Murgh Zafrani Kebab" boasts a broad spectrum of flavours. It is aesthetically pleasing owing to the rich saffron colour and is a treat to the taste buds. The kebabs are juicy and full of flavours. We also had "Mutton Turki Boti" which was delectable.

Main Course & Dessert From a range of raan specialities and arabic dishes to elegant gravy dishes rich in flavour, the menu is elaborately designed. We only focused on the mughlai delicacies, but the also serve Chinese dishes that are absolutely delicious.

"Chicken Dum Biryani" : The quantity is excellent! A full portion, easily serves three to four people with a good appetite. Talking about the culinary aspects, it is extremely tasty and has a lovely aroma. A royal delicacy, rich in every gastronomic factor that matters. "Murgh Lawabdar Masala with Tandoori Roti" : Once again, the portion size is extremely generous. The quality, without any doubt is of the highest degree. The gravy is absolutely exquisite in terms of flavour, colour and texture. Although we had it with Tandoori Roti, it has this spread of delightful flavours to offer that goes well with any Indian Bread Or even a rice dish for that matter.

They serve some of the finest desserts and confectionery. If you're having trouble with choosing which dessert to order without the fear of missing out on other flavours, go for "Honeymoon Special". It's a combination of all the desserts in the menu comprising of fruit salad, rabdi, custard, feerni, jelly with ice cream and what not. This perfectly tailored dish is one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. It is highly recommended by the staff and other diners. The portion size is admirable and served two to three people. A perfect way to seal the deal.

Beverages From the mocktails subsection, we ordered -Virgin Mojito -Green Lime Mojito -Peach Iced Tea -Blueberry Burst

The customer service is an important aspect that makes Persia Darbar exemplary. The average order time per dish is somewhere between ten and fifteen minutes. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Our order was taken by Mr. Nasim, who suggested most of the dishes that we ordered, followed by Mr. Zaheer who hosted our table throughout the dining maneuver, making it very pleasant and memorable.

Without any doubt, Versova is one of the happening and high spirited areas, priding itself with a series of phenomenal restaurants and other small food joints. The presence of 'Persia Darbar' adds to the elegance of the place by bringing in versatility of some sort with it's spread of authentic...

02 Aug 2019- 19.00 hours "Darbar for Non-vegetarians with stunning Mocktails"

A place chosen mistakenly by me without having a look at the menu because I am a vegetarian, turned out to be not a bad experience. There are limited options for veg here if you are particular about things then this place is not for you. On the contrary if you crave for Non veg then this is heaven for you. You will get diverse options here. They have three outlets in Mumbai so far, we went to the one in Versova. The interior has mesmerizing wallpapers. Also, the sofa covers are eye catchy (See pics), in addition to the decorative lights which are attractive. The staff is well-dressed, presentable and knowledgeable (especially Naseem). Service was average in terms of speed but good overall.

I had very limited options being a vegetarian so started with a BLUEBERRY CRUSH while I give some time to my brain to think. The crush was ice-cream based with various shades of blue in it; a perfect taste of blueberry with ice-cream though. I ordered PANEER ACHARI TIKKA- It was a 6-pc starter with capsicum & tomato placed alternatively between paneer. Tasted best with green chilly chutney. The onions are worth a mention as they were one of the best I have ever had. They were very pink, tender and enjoyable. We had VEG TAWA with BUTTER NAAN which was a mix vegetable subzi finely chopped and decorated with tomato at the bottom. You will find Indian desserts here such as Phirni, Rabri, Custard, etc. We chose RABRI because it could have the best flavor at this place, although we were not disappointed with rabdi but justice to desserts was provided by CARAMEL CUSTARD- It had a very creamy feel to it was adequately sweet.

Other items ordered were Green lime Mojito, Orange Kick, Butterscotch crush with ice cream & Murgh Banjara kebabAfghani tikka. The outlet is hygienic. They have group tables at the floor above in addition to the Ghaleechas which provides a home like feeling. Ghaleecha rooms are of three different size depending on the number to people. A perfect place for Non vegetarians and a less likely place to be visited by someone like me.
