DARBAR INDIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Amazing authentic Indian food, family owned and run business.We could see how much to go order picked up that reflect the high quality food they are delivering to the customers.Very friendly staff , I think brother and sister and they are helpful and knowledgeable.This will be a must to visit when we are in Baltimore.

Very pleasant customer service and good food! Tandoori grill mix especially the lamb kabob was amazing! 12 spice chicken curry and gobi paratha was incredibly spicy, and chicken biryani was good too! Very rich pistachio kulfi to round everything off.

I usually order take-out from Darbar (the food is fantastic) but recently went for a sit-down meal with my bf and loved it! The service was terrific. Our server was lovely and helpful and the food was - as always - incredibly delicious. The spot is intimate and quiet- a nice respite from Fells. I can't recommend enough!

AMBASSADOR DINING ROOM REVIEWS

We love the Ambassador dining room so much for a delicious, relaxing night out. The flavors are superb, service attentive, and atmosphere is elegant and restful.

The best Indian food in the area, hands down! Amazing buffet. So yummy and nourishing and just the right amount of flavor. The mango lassi is so good.

This is a hidden gem! Excellent food, awesome space. And so close to the Homewood campus! As someone that just moved into the neighborhood, my wife and I are definitely gonna walk over here again soon.

NAMASTE BALTIMORE REVIEWS

I can't say enough about this hidden gem. The service is spot on, and the food is to die for. This is my 3rd time coming to this restaurant, and they did not disappoint. I had the Lasuni Gobi for an appetizer (I actually ordered a second one to take home.) and Namaste Baltimore Crab(medium spice was very spicy to me.) which came with their delicious garlic Naan bread. My friend had the Chicken Tikki. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. If you want authentic Indian cuisine in a great atmosphere then you have to come to Namaste Baltimore.

We dine in and get carry out here all the time! One of my favorite spots for Indian/Nepali in Baltimore. One thing I LOVE about Namaste is that they do vegan versions of a lot of paneer dishes. I could eat chili tofu pretty much everyday.

The whole staff made our party feel so welcomed and at ease! Service was great and the birthday celebration was truly sweet and lovely. And the food was excellent! We'll be back.
