  “I visited Darbar with my cousin for the first time on a Sunday around 4pm for an early dinner. We were welcomed in by incredibly friendly and smiley staff. We admired the Persian interior and the warm atmosphere around us. The menu was diligently explained to us and the waiter adjusted the dishes to ensure we had the best experience. We ordered: - Hummus - Kashk e Bademjoon - Chips - Flat bread - Momtaz - Lamb mince skewer and chicken - Barberry rice Everything was yummy! Super fresh and the meat was moist and tender. No flavour was to overpowering and each bite complemented the next. Thank you for your hospitality. I’ll be sure to bring my family again soon!”

  “The food here was absolutely amazing! The grilled meat was so juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the rice was authentic and delicious. The ice cream was also incredibly nice — creamy, refreshing, and beautifully presented. On top …”

  “The food was noticeably under-salted, so we had to add salt ourselves. Unfortunately, adding salt afterwards to bland food does not really work well, and it made us extremely thirsty afterwards. I understand that the restaurant may be trying to be cautious for customers who prefer low-salt food, but in this case it affected the overall taste. The shishlik meat was tough, and the rice served with the dish seemed to be Indian-style rice rather than the kind usually expected with Persian food. Aside from the disappointing food experience, the owner was very friendly and the staff were pleasant. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also nice and welcoming. I hope the kitchen team pays more attention to the quality and flavour of the food in the future.”

  “All good, service was a bit with delay and slow but I understand they were super busy after Iftars. The food was great, it's more specialised in northern Iran's food which is very delicious. We definitely visit this place again for a second review. As for time being I rate this place 5 stars. All good. Highly recommend”

  “Darbar is my favourite Persian restaurant in Manchester! I've been visiting for years and the quality of the dishes has remained consistently high. The food is always so fresh & delicious and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. I would recommend the joojeh & koobideh kabob (momtaz) - the chicken is very succulent & well seasoned. Hope to visit again soon!”
