Been getting take out 2/3 times a month from here since they opened. And it never occurred that I…read moreshould review them. Until tonight that is , when I went to dine in with a couple friends. If you walk into a place on a Wednesday night, and all the tables are taken, that's a sign. You walk in and it smells incredible, that's a sign. You see people laughing and chatting while partaking from varied dishes, then that's a sign! We ordered the Naga special chicken curry, the brinjal curry and the shrimp mango curry( that comes with rice), and roti and naan. Portions are ample , place is clean and service is satisfactory. Our sever Gopal took care of us in a timely and friendly fashion. The food itself, I mean , the flavors are all there. Each dish tastes unique and you get a sense you are eating out. No home style simple cooking here, the spices are intense and each dish has a bite. Isn't that why you go out to eat? Prices are really good, if you consider what other places charge for entrees. And everything comes out piping hot and fresh. So don't wait till the weekend to try it out, go today!

Shout out to my Yelp bud, Sid, for the recommendation! Went with my dad who enjoys Indian food…read more The SERVICE is spectacular. Never quite experienced an Indian restaurant with so much attentiveness and kindness. Server kept asking how our food is and if everything is alright :) We ORDERED the special goat curry, butter naan and butter roti (we went to another restaurant before this haha). I appreciate how descriptive their MENU is as they do list the ingredients. The goat was tender, juicy and delicious. Server warned us that medium is super spicy so we went with mild which we did not think it was spicy at all. Naan and roti were good. Roti is a bit more dry than the naan. Would order the naan again. VIBEZ: Lots of take out orders. Lots of different cultures and ages dining in. Love the modern and clean decor. Located in a plaza with tight parking. Would I come back? Yes! Why the 4 stars? I wish they'd leave a tray of napkins on the table instead of the need to repeatedly ask for more napkins (because some of us/some cultures can't stand the oiliness on their hands...). I also wish there was more variety on their menu especially regarding the veggie curries... what happened to palak paneer? :( ...also found it to be strange that their online menu was different especially regarding the apps portion. Plus I always order rice and when I saw multiple tables ordering rice, it was just a bowl of white basmati rice...wished they'd flavor it like multiple other establishments.

The gentlemen helping were kind and helpful -- Upon entering, we asked to dine in and were invited to a table by the TVs. The waiter took our orders and helped with recommendations, quick to bring extra items we requested, and even brought out my water bottle that I forgot at the end of dinner. Extremely kind, inviting and created a welcoming ambiance and experience. The butter chicken and goat curry were fire but the best dish was... The lamb biryani. 40% of the dish was of lamb. Very rare for a restaurant to provide such a big proportion of meat to carb ratio. The garlic naan was perfect, tasted fresh and steamed as I pulled it apart. Other places I've been to recently, I drank so much water due to the saltiness but not here. Overall, amazing experience and I want to come back to try the chicken tikka noodles.

Appetizers: samosas and mixed veg pakora -- these dishes were pretty salty for me so I didn't eat much! Entrees: chicken tikka masala, goat curry, saag paneer with garlic naan, plain naan and tandoori roti. The curry was solid and breads went great with them. Service: pretty slow as I mentioned. Took a bit to take our orders, although the food came in a timely manner. We initially ordered appetizers, and the waitress did not return for a while to take our order for our entrees. We had already finished all the appetizers by the time she came back. The table was full with our finished plates when the entrees arrived too so we struggled to make room for them -- wish they could have been cleared out prior to avoid the mess.

Most of all our favorite waiter, Shabi far exceeds our expectations when it comes to customer service. It is nice to be greeted with a smile, making you feel welcomed as soon as you get in the restaurant. Unlike other Asian restaurants, they do not discriminate you even if you are not Indian. Although we love Indian food, We are not Indians so sometimes we need help on deciding on what to order. He is so patient with us and he knows what we want. If he see us struggling with the menu, he knows that we're lost, he then recommends what is good to try and most times it's great recommendations. We highly recommend this restaurant to all food enthusiasts. It is one of the best in the East Bay. Try it and you'll know what I mean. Happy dining!!!!

It was my husband's birthday last week, so we wanted to make it special by dining somewhere new to…read moreus. There are plenty of Indian restaurants in Fremont where we live, but since our favorite go-to place closed, we've yet to find another that perfectly pleases us both. He's a vegetarian. I'm not. He likes heavy spice and some heat. My tastes run towards mildly spiced chicken curries. If you are considering Shahi Darbar based on Yelp reviews and photos, you will not be disappointed. There is ample parking in front as the restaurant is in a strip mall without a lot of evening traffic. Outside is brightly lit and inside, the dining area is large, so there is plenty of room between tables. Even though there were many people there and music overhead we could still hear each other and converse. There are tables and booths. It's clean and bright. Our server was attentive and friendly. The menu is extensive! It was hard to choose, but I ordered chicken tikka masala because I don't see it offered at too many other restaurants, not the way butter chicken is.. it was wonderful! The server asked our preferred spice levels and the kitchen delivered. Husband ordered palak paneer and loved that the spinach wasn't over creamed or over blended (he doesn't like when the spinach is no longer recognizable as spinach and the palak looks like green baby food - this is not the case here). The palak paneer was perfect. We had veg pakora as an appetizer. It was SO good. Since we were celebrating a birthday and had cake waiting at home, we took home a lot of leftovers, which made the next night's dinner at home pretty epic too. For such a nice place, the prices are reasonable. There is a full bar. I had my back to it and didn't see it until we were leaving. I'm not sure if it is open all the time or not. When we return, likely for our anniversary next month, I might order a drink. It was about a 25 minute drive for us, so we won't be able to make this our new go-to, but you can be sure we will return as soon and as often as the opportunity comes along again.
