From the office, for lunch, I suggested this place. I have been seeing this restaurant hiding at Ashok Nagar for a long time.
None veg platter, crispy lamb, fried rice, parotta, veg meal, like soda...the lost how are on. The food is tasty, the ambiance is good and the price is less.
Overall experience is good.
Serving and table management is lagging behind.
Will try next time before concluding my final impression.
Been there for dinner... A nice place with good ambience. The menu was very simple where I don't have much varieties to choose. Friendly staffs and worthfull service. We ordered for CREAM OF CHICKEN soup, CHICKEN BBQ, DURBAR SPECIAL CHICKEN BRIYANI and ROSE FALOODA. Quantity was valued for the money, but coming to QUALITY, the soup seems a bit older, the chicken bbq was not cooked to the perfection, the masalas were raw at some parts, taste of briyani was good and the rose falooda was up to the taste. Overall it bears a 4 star.. And I'll recommend the management to add some more dishes in the menu to satisfy the guests like me and concentrate little about the quality of the food.
We have booked their party hall for our son's first b'day.we been searching for good party hall with good food & finally we ended up here.
Pros:The food was really superb & everyone complimented that every dish in the buffet (veg & non veg) starting from soup,starter, main course & dessert are really(equally) good.especially their dill soup(veg soup with veggies tasted like non veg) & Chicken Briyani was wow!
Hall was really spacious could accommodate 150 theatre & 100+ floating crowd.
They got tieup with decorator & bakery.we end up with their decorator & besides small mistakes the decoration is really good.
Cons:Naan was little rough & they do refill nly after the dish is completely finished.has to be done at least at quarter level.
It's the best place to celebrate the occasion with memorable food!
Special thanks to Mr.karthikeyan & the chef(sorry forget the name).
ambience is average but food quality is pretty good as well as not much expensive. THE services and management is polite and very nice to us.
Visited this restaurant today. It is easy to spot it in the jafferkhanpet main road. Coming to the ambience of this restaurant it's is soo classy and luxurious. The staffs was also polite and the manager of the hotel was soo concerned about the taste of the food and customer satisfaction. We ordered a chicken lollypop, plain briyani, schezwan chicken fried rice.
Lollypop was soo crispy and tasty, they served 8 pices for 180rs which was soo reasonable. Only cons is that I got slightly raw nv taste while eating. So 3.5/5
Schezwan chicken fried rice was spicy and tasty. But the quantity was not that satisfying. So 4/5
Finally coming to their briyani it is too rich with ghee and aroma of the briyani was too unique as well as tasty too. The quantity of the briyani will definitely satisfy two people and even more. So 4.5/5
Overall a yummy tummy experience at a very reasonable cost. Will definitely visit this restaurant again and recommend to other friends also.
This is our second visit to Chennai Darbar in Ashok Nagar
We ordered tomato soup, Darbar special platter (server told us it will have 2 pieces)
Soup tasted good, kebab platter tasted great
It had Reshmi kebab, grill chicken, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, prawns, bbq fish, Afghani chicken to pompfret bbq
Every dish tasted great no complains
We ordered only one mutton biriyani for 3 of us as the special platter filled out stomach
Biriyani had lot of pieces (completely worth for the price tag) and ended our food hunt with Falooda
Overall a good place for your non veg feast
Excellent customer service
Polite staffs and restaurant and wash room areas looks absolutely clean
Tasty food at reasonable price.. we love this place . Platter is VFM :) KEEP IT UP... will definitely recommend this place for family and get togethers..
Ambience was good..service was also cool...some of the food varities can't be found as it's full of mainly favoured to sounth Indian dishes..taste was also fine...overall a satisfactory restaurant to visit.

When you're in Chennai, and when the weather outside is damp and rainy your soul can be bought in tandem with the outside world only through a healthy helping of some strong and flavorful Biryani. With Chennai being a powerhouse of Biryani, I decided to try out Chennai Darbar, which to its credit had some decent reviews on this platform. I went with the perpetual crowd puller , the Chicken Biryani and Chicken Chettinadu with some Naan.Β
The first thing that strikes you is the fragrant aroma of the Biryani. Cardamom, cloves and cinnamon are added in a good measure, giving the Biryani a strong yet subtle taste and what I really enjoyed was the fact that the spices were not too overpowering. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the Basmati rice was in its true glory, fluffy and nice long grains. The cooking on the rice was flawless. With everything done right, you end up with a Biryani that is moist and fragrant and keeps you going for more. Very few places have this uncanny ability to pull off a classic dish like Biryani with a very simple albeit dexterous recipe. This Biryani is humble, and packed with really powerful flavors in the right amount.Β
Now with the palette being doused with the warmth and aroma of the spices and chicken of the Biryani, it was time to taste another classic, the ubiquitous Chicken Chettinadu, which is a dish known for the use of some heavy duty spices. If the Biryani was any indication as to how deft the chef's at Chennai Darbar are when it comes to handle spices, the Chettinadu Chicken shows their true spirit with a stamp of authority. In one word, the gravy is heavenly. Everything about the dish seems to be right, be it the thickness of the gravy, the spice level or the cooking of the chicken. The color of the gravy is this really intense and dark brown color, which is reminiscent of the heavy use of whole spices like cinnamon, clove and star anise perhaps. But let the intense color not fool you, as the dish looks very spicy, but it isnt. It was truly phenomenal to see a dish which was so heavy on these whole spices not being too spicy, I could taste all the spices the onions and the juiciness of the chicken in the gravy, and when paired with the Naan, you just dont need anything else for your tastebuds. This is one potent combination of spice and texture and as I said earlier the thickness of the gravy was spot on, the dish was'nt watered down so the spices were not diluted and nor was the gravy too thick to give an unpleasant mouthfeel.Β Post this meal, I was one satisfied person and the dishes were so very good that the taste kept lingering on me, and probably would even force me to order once again from this wonderful place!

Becoming popular. I have been here since their start, and i could see they maintain their standards always. Since its near home, have been with my family many times. Prawn Briyani , fish fingers are favourite. Food taste is good. Cost is same to other competitors. You can get only one chicken piece in a chicken briyani how much ever you are lucky in this kind of hotels. π You can order a separate grill or tandoori variety and its good.
Saleem, in billing counter manages his best to serve the customers. Actually, a time when i got parcel of chicken briyaniβs, disappointed as there wasnβt any flesh piece and it was all kuskaβs. Even no eggs. Brought to his notice, he compensated all in his next service/parcel with extraβs. Yep, sometimes it happens.
On my nieceβs birthday party, with all kutties, one of the child always prefer a dosa in cone shape. Though the service has not served a cone dosa, they however managed to serve one bringing a smile on the childβs face. Thank you for your service.
I order the chicken, mutton and prawn briyani. It was very tasty. I like the parcel of food. They packed the food nearly. I like the Chennai Darbar.
One of great ambiance restaurants of multi qucent and big parking area.. Ambiance good
Food and stater soup all are good in taste and worth of price
taste is awesome! Fish fingers are my fav. Wheat paratta simply superb. Ambience is gorgeous and the entrance which glitters a lot. Price is average and lesser dhan thalapakatti
Neat ambience, courteous staffs, awesome food...what else we need for after a tiring day. Afghan chicken is one to be mentioned, it's perfectly cooked n blended with aromatic masala. Their briyani quantity is much more to serve 2 adults. Special mention of their special falooda which was royal rich flavours of ice cream, nuts, fruits and jumbo sized. Will again visit their buffet option sometime.:)
good but mutton grvy was overcooked
Be polite and friendly place, can enjoy the food with family and friends ,price is average quality is good service is quick and satisfactory
Chennai darbar is located in ashoknagr opp to royalenfield showroom (ashoknagar) near to kasi theatre

Though it's heavily raining I got my order promptly and food is hot when I opened and Biriyani taste was really mouthwatering and I really enjoyed d spicy onion raita, Brinjal curry, spicy chicken pieces and dessert (Kesari) gave the perfect value for the money, I felt really fulfilled ..! Thank you Zomato & Chennai Durbar..!πππ
Good place to visit with family and friends price is ok taste is good service is excellent because you can get the order quicker than any other restaurants they keep the area clean and hygiene
good need more choices of subji etc
Good quality. briyani quantity is too low
Actually I visited this place for a friend's betrothal function but the function was going on for almost 4 hours and my stomach started tickling so i took my wife to the first floor to have lunch. Our order was Crab Lollipop, Mutton Biriyani and Prawn fried rice. Crab Lollipop was really good my wife enjoyed it, Mutton biryani was good with less irritants and the mutton pieces was soft and Prawn fried rice was also good. The damage was Rs.693/-
The food was awesome, nice taste.

*Idly with fish curry-This combo was just out of the word...idly(3 pieces)was as they call kushboo ones..soft and fluffy and for 75 bucks was a total treat.The fish curry that came was awesome and that portion can accompany 5 more idlies π

Overall a 4 :)

Yummy and Tasty but poor Quantity.
biriyani is good as well as the quantiy of food. barbeque taste is like chicken 65.
Checked in for Sunday lunch from office as its very nearby!!
The ambience was really very pleasant n feel good once enter into the restaurant!!
We ordered half chicken tandoori, mutton sukka for starters!!
Was really happy wen I had my bite of chicken tandoori, it has very tasty wen compared to all d tandooriz I had out!! It had d lil more flavor of lemon n spices.. It was really good!! The flavor can b felt from any piece n from any part of the piece u bite!!
Mutton sukka was not that great but yeah it had its own taste, which I didn't like much!! It wasn't dry n it was bit soggy!!
Then we order prawn biriyani and mutton biriyani.. Both tasted good.. Properly cooked with flavors..
Mutton pieces were soft n juicy.. Prawns were cooked good, not making them chewy...
Then finally ended with my fav.. Falooda.. We ordered 3 miniz... No complaints here tooo.. It was awesome!!
Had a very nice tummy filling lunch!! Happiee lunching :-) :-)

Food - 3.5 / 5
Food is not bad and not that much lip smacking. I had a take away biriyani is good so as their thali. On comparison thali wins. I didn't try any breads will add it in next review. There is also buffet for the team.
Ambience - 4.5 / 5
The ambience is pretty much exotic and I loved.. Not a dull or a bight and also no the usual yellow barn lighting. It was different and good.
Best time - lunch
Best with - family
order was gud, delivered at the right time as shown.
We have visited this place for afternoon lunch...
Ordered mutton meals and special 65 ( suggested by waiter ).. meals were served hot and in time..
They serve basmati rice for meals.. we felt different in taste.. ( not a usual meal..)
infact the special 65 was so good and felt lemon flavored ( spicyy ))..
The meals was good (( especially veggies were super wen compared to non veg curries ))
the only disappointment is their chicken and mutton gravies.. ( tasted more sweet and less spicy))..
Other than that all were good...
Ambience = 5
Food = 4
Service = 5
Value for money = 4
A Good Sunday night dinner that justified Quality and Quantity for the price. The service was good, Ambience was really good.
A good choice if you wanna have a decent time with your family or friends accompained by good food.
me and my friend four of us went there...our order as follows
mutton soup- taste good
crab lolipop- good
tangeri kebab- not good...we didn't get tangerine flavour
non veg meal- good
garlic naan - too good
butter chicken- awesome
overall decent Experience....
This is a restaurant which popped up in my neighborhood about a year but somehow never visited all this time.It's the usual food South Indian biryani and the chettinad and chinese starters but nothing unique.
The starters:
Crab lollipop- was awesomeMutton fry- the same old you can find everywhere.
Fish manchurian: A total let down, it was not fresh and tasted weird.
Main Course:Β
Mutton Biryani: Huge quantity but lacked flavor.Β
Szechuan Mixed Fried Rice- Good
Chicken Noodle- Good.
P.S: Never order the fish, either in starters or in biryani its not worth it.
Overall ambience is good.. I ordered chicken briyani was good flavour and taste is upto the mark.. interior design was execulant.. service was good.. my overall experience is gud.. definitely I recommend my friends..

Excellent ambience and good quality food.. Best place for Budget Lunch / Dinner. I would have given 5 star if we had more variety in Veg dishes and especially in deserrt. missing Gulab Jamun / Shahi Tukra / Kheer / Halwa
One of the best places to go for a party treat with ur friends. Ambience , service , food quality , time everything was great and eye-catching . Pocket friendly , I would suggest not to look the 5 star looks of Chennai darbaar and ignore for a choice go and take ur chance for having a retreat . Mutton murthoba was the best . Also if it's a bday treat pre call them and tell for a cake , yes a bread cake obvious but the bday guy won't get disheartened !
Great place.
Friendly & courteous staff.
Food was good.
Let down was the management.
A/C were turned off, had to ask the team to switch it on. after half an hour it was again switched off.
I understand the restaurant was barely full. But I come in to have my food to enjoy the ambiance too. If you are saving costs why don't you fix some fans.
Think about it.
Good quality food. Affordable price, nice ambience, good parking facility, decent hospitality.
I booked my daughter's first birthday at this location. It was overall a nice experience.
It even has a dine in restaurant which most of the chennaites are not aware of.
Must try this place for tasty food at a reasonable price.
Great atmosphere, very good and quick service. Parking available with valet. Restaurant at 1st floor, lift available. Kids seat available. Mini hall for party or function available. Food taste is average. Darbar spl veg soup is good. Chicken lollipop is a must try. Briyani is plain less spicy suitable for kids. Briyani lovers avoid. Fish items are frozen better avoid. Egg kothu is average, gravy not served. Ambience is really good. One time try. Felt price is high.
The ambience is very appealing so as the food
We ordered chicken barbecue 4/5,
hot n sour chicken soup 3.5/5(hits directly to throat),
Garlic chicken 2.5/5 (tasted more like chicken Manchurian), Egg biryani 4/5
Overall all a good food in a good restaurant
Nice atmosphere, awesome service by Mr.Gopal nd team.Food was awesome nd the best one trouserkadai chicken kolambu nd mutton nalli biriyani.ππ₯
The restaurant had a great ambiance. Felt relaxed. Gave a causal vibe. The waiter was attentive, fave us a helpful suggestions of what is available and what is good to eat. The food was appetizing and beautifully plated. Even thou I'm an omnivore but I especially loved d veg Manchurian.
V ordered chicken BBQ, the taste was very good n juicy but it was hard a lil bit to eat. But I especially loved Darbar special falooda.
Traditional food in very nice and clean place. Out of the busy streets of Chennai.
The restaurant is dedicated for eating in traditional way by hands but weβve used spoons to enjoy our food. Big portions of food served on banana leafs instead of plates. If you need your waiter will add more of sauce or rice as you wish.
Food was good so Iβm happy to recommend the place for others.
The place is located in a road opp to kasi theatre.. One of the hidden gems.. The restuarant is big and had a nice ambience to attract ppl.. It is kids friendly they have high chair for kids so that they can enjoy food with their loved ones..
Food was too good and is budget friendly..
Especially darbar special nonveg platter
Good restaurant, ambience is too good, seems like star hotel with retro style. Their items also quite diff from normal Arab style prepration but really awesome and delicious...the service is very great, fast and hygiene, by ordering within 15-20 min they serving all the items you ordered. Prices are moderate. Really worthy place to hangout for lunch or dinner with family and friends.
Good parking facilities.
Great place to have taste food & a chat with our friends. The tables are very well organized, so the disturbance between tables are minimal.
I like their prawn biriyani & mutton biriyani the most. Next is wheat paratha. Prawn fry, chicken tandoori, Crispy lamb are must try.
Chennai Durbar Special soup (forgot the actual name, since they too specify so) is the highlight and do not miss this during your visit.
They have very good two-wheeler and four-wheeler parking lot.
The restaurant is on the first floor and they have a party hall in 4th floor with around 150 capacity. The buffet the provide when you book for party hall will be very much above our expectations.
Manager Karthi and Master Chef Karthi are so friendly and kind enough to make our dishes delicious.
Enjoy your food and also functions in the party hall.
Visited over a weekend and was packed as usual. No wait time on seating for 6members. Ordered few starters which were mutton chops and tandoori chennai FULL. Later added π¦ lollipop. All starter were good with must try for Mutton Chops. Under mains, parotta is authentic compared to near by competitor restaurants. Falooda looked tempting but skip to be tried for another time.
Service was on their πΎ and very responsive.

The peaceful ambience of the place provides a very comfortable dining experience to its guests. The pocket-friendly menu of the place is quite extensive and offers dishes which cater to the varied likes and dislikes of its diners.
Five-star feel, no star price!
We celebrated our baby's 1st birthday here on 25th Junly 2022. TheΒ banquet hallΒ was excellent with great lighting and the food was top notch. Everyone who was part of the func were happy abt the food. They have separate dining hall which looks so good. Buffet pricing was very reasonable considering the main location. Owner of the restaurant, Manager karthi and their staffs were cooperative and took good Cre of the guests..Highly recommended for bday party's ππππ
Very good restaurant the ambiance is very good. Located opposite to kasi theatre. Food taste is very good can't complain about it and their service is good. Lemon chicken soup is must try one in this restaurant. The platters are good the darbar special platter is one the popular starters in this restaurant. Biriyani taste is average. Rest of the Chinese items are of good taste. The desserts, mocktails and juices are good. There is also a buffet option in the second floor but it is better to call and come for buffet because sometimes it is closed. The rest rooms and parking are also very decent.

Went to the Mini Hall. The hall can hold a very small crowd. But the Ambience was good, service was great and the food tasted excellent. Had enough parking space. Located in a prime location.
One of the best BBQ Chicken I've had in Chennai! Unique marinade taste.
