I visited this place for the popular demand of its biryani... I tried it and it really lives upto the name it has made over these years... The ambience is not good... I suggest u pack the biryani and eat at home...
Tanduri chicken is best, cost is high and noisy. environment so ambience is not good but taste is good value of money dishes.

Date of Visit: 13th Jan, 2015
Occasion: Shopping at MG Road.
Had needed a better place for lunch. Already tried 11 East Street Cafe and Dorabjee's, so needed a change of taste. Ambience: Sweet and Calm.
Orders:
Chilly Chicken
Butter Roti
Rogan Chicken
Jeera Masala
Presentation: nice and well presented.
Taste: Chilly Chicken was a little spicy, and oily. Rogan Chicken was less spicy and oily. Butter roti was like dipped in butter. Loved the Jeera Masala cold drink that I had.
Pros: taste wise and presentation, its good. Staff behaviour: friendly and courteous. Quick service, Pocket friendly, even if you go for a three course meal. Menu filled with lovely dishes, will go for multiple visits.
Cons: No swipe system!! :'( Need to get that. Need to reduce oil content on dishes. Bahut oil daalte ho yaar...daalo...par aisa ki daala hai, par pata na chale, aur dish ka taste bhi bana rahe.
Overall experience: awesome. Would love to visit again.
One of my office colleague took me over here, he had tried this restaurant couple of years back. We were hungry when we reached and ordered biryani. Biryani was not that much great, after that we had ordered chicken Tandoori and butter chicken, both were delicious.

Grand Darbar is a pretty basic restaurant with not many amenities but having said that it's food especially the biryanis and kebabs are off the hook and makes you forget all its shortcomings.

This place is where you get one of the best biryani in pune. Food quality is 4.0 losing a few marks on spices. Ambience is 2.5 for lack of basic amenities like an AC(& really bad sofas). Tandoori chicken is a must, really full of masala( will get u sweating). Service is OK( no issues). If u don't mind a not too hygenic place to eat this can b d perfect place.
Grand Darbar is actually Grand when it comes to Biryanis.
One thing that comes to my mind after hearing about this place is their biryani.
People i haven't tried anything else except the chicken and mutton Biryani, but trust me i haven't liked biryani anywhere else after this.
If anyone has not tried their biryani trust me you are missing on something.
I feel they should make the sitting arrangement more nice so more people can visit this place.
Guys dont ever take the biryani in form of parcel as it wont taste its actual taste .
Great biryanis. All the best. I hope that the taste only becomes better and they should not drop down on the taste and quality
"Excellent Non veg dishes, good service and average ambiance" - This explains Grand Durbar in a nutshall..
Food : 8 / 10
Ambiance : 4 / 10
Service : 7 / 10
Rating 5 - especially for Biriyani lovers!!!!
Too good. If you want to have really good biriyani, then this is the place. Very good taste and quick service. Been here many times and they haven't compromised on the taste. The another dish you would like to check out is Chicken Chilly.
They do not have "Credit/Debit Card" facility, so ensure you carry cash along with you. No swipe of cards, which is bit unusual these days, but doesn't matter....Biriyanii......wallah wallah!!!!!
One of the finest biryani's in Pune served with boiled potato! Should definitely try Raan but order shall be made one day prior in advance. Chicken bhuna platter strongly advised for large groups.
the place is awesome for meat lovers.
murg musallam,
lamb seekh kebab
butter chi (of course)
mutton/chi chilly (its fire. but dare to try it)
parathas etc
the ambience is descent. service also average. the price is above average but food is good so should be fine.
Please try this place only for three things:
Chicken Dum Biryani (not tikka biryani)
Chicken 65 (starter)
Chicken Chilly (starter)
Bit pricey but worth the taste. You may get disappointed with other offerings on the menu.
Im a big biryani lover of DUM origin and i feel that they serve the best chicken dum biryani in pune. The quantity is jumbo and the rice quality is so delicate to compete with the star hotels. The chicken is very soft and dum style cooked. The chicken biryani also has those aloo which adds to the flavour. Please try this place if you want to taste the real HYDERABADI DUM BIRYANI.
Chicken chilly and Chicken 65 are another USP of the place which doesnt taste like any other place in pune.
Interior: 1.5/ 5 (go for take-away)
food: (5/5 for the three things I mentioned)
service: fast

This place has been running in since a while. I have mixed reviews for this place. Good food, good seating arrangement, great staff, but questionable hygiene levels. The place is known for its luncheon and attracts quick lunchies from offices in the mid-afternoon time.
Perhaps one of the most popular Chicken Biryani makers of Pune Camp. They have a notable taste of the masala they use to cook Biryanis. The rice are long grained and and the masalas used turn them brown instead of yellow's as opposed to many other restaurants. Fairly priced with a decent quantity, it's good value for money.
Too many flies and slightly ill-maintained tables upon arrival can take down a lot of their credit. I'll settle for 3.5 for this one.
Nice place to visit with a empty tummy nice place to enjoy with friends or family
Ambience: 7/10
Ambience is good simple and nice tables n sitting arrangements nothing show-shaaa....

Advice: Recommended
Excellent food. Good servicing and that too in reasonable cost. And that too oo east street makes it easier for everyone to visit. Recommended
Grand darbar specially for Moghlai lovers.i had Dum.ka chicken Tandoori chicken n mutton biryani..too gud taste..
Visited with my family..every 1 liked the food...wuld like to visit once again to this place specialy for Biryani.
One weekend i was searching for a new restaurant and came to know about this place, visited it and this is my review:-
This is another a must try mughlai food joint in camp area located in east street near fashion street, place is not so specious, and parking could be a tedious task.
Food:- 3.5/5
Biryani is a must try
Ambiance: - 3/5
Service :- 3.5/5
Mast.. tried majority chicken dishes .. its awesome. Worth eating non veg here.. Chicken biryani is also too good.. tandor is also properly marinated n cooked. We visit there at lest once in two months. .
This is another place that I've been going for many years. Once again a place that many people see on the road but hardly venture.
The food served here is mughlai and this place is quite popular. I've had various main dishes and although they share the same masala (more or less), the food is quite enjoyable. I love the biryani that they serve here. Once again, I'm talking about the mutton biryani. The spiciness and quality of the mutton is just right. The serving is quite a mouthful.
The next time you see this place, stop, order a takeaway and you won't regret it.
'GRAND DARBAR' is my favourite place for Biryani.... I have been eating here since 1998.. Interior is still the same since..so is the food quality n taste... whenever I go there, i ask for extra portion of biryani aloos, they are just mind blowing..
Rest of the menu isnt that appealing (or may be its coz I am in love wid their biryani).. owners have maintained standards and always have kept it 'VALUE FOR MONEY'..
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR BIRYANI..(go on FRIDAY)
simple place wit good food (tandoori & biryani) a must try nd try mutton shorba made of mutton stock water which tastes ossum just loved it...
----- 27 Dec, 2012 -----
simple place wit good food (tandoori & biryani) try. :-)
The best biryani & tandoori in town! Also the raan is delicious.. !!!
grand darbar is my favourite pick for its dum biryani and dal ghosh it is amazing...ambience wise its nice and simple..the service is prompt.kudos to the owners for keeping the standard and the quality of food going from the past so many years.
Probably one of the best mutton biryanis in town. Really delicious mutton gravy dishes as well.
this used to be when we were in college in 2001-2005.Grand Darbar had the most amazing murg mussalam,butter chicken and mughlai food I can remember in pune.It was a must visit for us atleast once a week.Havent eaten here in over 8 years now though but truly miss those times!
One of the best Dum Biryani I have had in Pune. With the deterioration with many popular places, Grand Darbar has been consistent with the quality and quantity of the biryani served. I first visited the place way back in 2003 and I don't see any change in the food except for the change in it's price.
The Biryani is served in a plate with the top layer consisting of the white/saffron flavoured rice and as you dig deep you will find succulent mutton pieces which is very well marinated with spices, onions and tomatoes.
After you finish a handsome meal, the only thing that comes to your mind is , 'That was gooood'.
Try Checken Biryani, Tandoori Chicken and Shami Kabab... yummmmmm

1. Very authentic and still maintaining the taste since years
2. Prices are hiked
3. Parking isn't always available due to fashion street crowd. However, you can find paid parking on the main road.
New been to this place in Pune but have. Received many sweets as gifts from my friend...very nice and tasty sweets
While doing a good walk I was very surprised to find this store as I have enjoyed their stuff in Bombay. I was simply making a video on my phone and I got chatting and was provided various samples which I devoured as it was delicious and brought back my memories of the sweetmeats I had consumed while in Bombay. Very happy the store has opened in Pune.
Good taste of the sweets and the varieties of sweets they brought to Pune is just like incredible. Loved eating Thier sweets . Staff is also humble and softly spoken . The reason I gave 5 🌟 rating to it because it's reputation by word of mouth and value for money. Loved it
Again 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠.
not a the main branch of Sulaiman usman mithai wala but its good.
Bought some dry fruit sweets and a mango and cheese burfi. Absolutely delicious. Everyone at home loved the sweets. Will be buying from here again. Health goals gone for a toss.
