Masala Darbar is a small, nine table Indian restaurant that is modern yet modest. They offer both Northern and Southern Indian dishes, and boasts 15 varieties of dosa. As soon as we read over their menu, we noticed how authentic their Indian cuisine is. Our waiter was pretty confident we’d enjoy anything on their menu, though did suggest starting with a dosa. We gladly took him up on the offer.
I dream of Darbar!😍Masala Darbar that is. A perfectly positioned Indian restaurant in Cleveland Street, Surry Hills.
If you’re a fan of Indian cuisine you won’t be disappointed with the exquisite variety, bold flavours or even the price of Masala Darbar’s delicious dishes🍴
Not only is this Indian restaurant easy to find, its interior is a welcome change from the over-the-top extravagance frequently used to decorate these places. The restaurants clean design, with just a splash of classic Indian decor alleviates the usual sensory overload and allows you to focus on the real star of the show, the incredible Indian food!🌟
Any dish here is an absolute treat!👌 And if you happen to have leftovers, take them with you for a second sumptuous sitting.
Had ourselves a little feast with a little goat and lamb. Two of my favourite meats. The goat was cooked in a traditional Chettinadu style gravy with whole spices, tomatoes, onions and coriander. The flavours from this dish were thick, fast and explosive. The goat itself was so lovely and tender and it was just falling apart in the curry. As for the lamb, well this was a flavour hit with my palette. It was marinated over night with whole spices and cooked with rice “dum Pukht style” (slow fire cooking) This was the stand out winner 🤗 I enjoyed every bite of this spice infused dish, just marvellous. Our waiter also suggested we try the Masala Dosa, we were not disappointed with his suggestion. Has a cheesy taste to it and a lovely spiced potato filing on the inside. I have to give special mention to the garlic naan too. Honestly one of the best naan I’ve had by far. Crispy, fluffy, smoky, oh wow seriously couldn’t get enough.
