Delicious big manly portions. Dametoon garm. I was told about this place some 10 years ago, but never had a chance to try it out. Don't expect a big fancy place, it's rather small, (I think they do a lot of catering services), but the food was delicious. I got a soltani and my friend got Baghali polo with lamb shack. We also had some kashke-Bademjon and roshi. The food was juicy delicious. Service is fast and friendly. For non persians: Darbari means "it's from the Royal Court". Implicitly meaning the King's type of cuisine. The restaurant carries well the name. Go Darbari!

The owner himself came over to our table a few times to welcome us and make sure we were taken care of.They also serve beer and wine. Ample free parking. Definitely try this place ??Parking: Plenty of free parking.

Darbari Persian Grill isn't just a restaurant; it's a portal to an aromatic, flavorful world I stumbled upon years ago. Every visit, no matter how far I travel from, is a testament to its incredible food and service.I've devoured my way through their menu over the years, and not a single dish has disappointed. From the crispy, crackling tah-dig to the smoky, succulent kebabs, each bite is a symphony of aromas and spices. My personal crown jewel? The chicken shish kabob plate, nestled on fragrant baghali polo with a melt-in-your-mouth lamb shank. Portions are generous, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied.If you have room for something sweet, the baklava and bastani are irresistible finales. Layers of honey-laced filo pastry and the creamy pistachio ice cream are a great way to wrap up the meal.My most recent visit was with a sizable group that practically filled the restaurant. Despite the bustling atmosphere, Mehdi and the staff welcomed us with open arms. Their patience and attentiveness were truly remarkable, accommodating all our requests with a smile. And of course, the food arrived swiftly and fresh, leaving our entire group singing Darbari's praises.If you're seeking an authentic taste of Persian hospitality and culinary mastery, look no further than Darbari Persian Grill. It's an experience you won't soon forget.

The food was good and tastes AMAZING. Even though there was a fly inside it didn’t bother us which was nice. Definitely a nice, clean place I’d recommend for people looking for a place to eat lunch/dinner.

Food was good meat was juicy and flavorful, and rice was good, but humus wasn’t the best. If you come day time it’s hot in there so be ready to sweat. Overall good experience would go back for the

Meet up with a good friend over lunch. It’s a cute restaurant. We had the tadig, soltani and skewer of chicken with mixed Persian ice cream faloodeh. It was delicious. Would definitely go back.
