We tried Bombay Darbar this past Friday night, and we didn't have a reservation, so undestandably we waited for about 35 minutes for a table inside. I'm so glad we waited! What an incredible meal!

The atmosphere totally reminded me of a traditional Indian restaurant that you would find in London; it was fairly casual, but had a romantic and exotic feel about it.

Regrettably, I don't think we ordered enough, considering how delicious it was, and the fact that the dishes were served in very unique (but smallish) traditional ramekins. We tried the chicken tikka masala (spicy) and the lamb pasanda (medium) with garlic naan. The curries were so beautifully prepared, and just the perfect amount of spice in each. (I personally love the spiciest food available, and they can deliver, if you are so inclined.) We also had a lovely California Pinot Noir that was incredibly well-priced.

I should add that I am not typically the biggest fan of Indian food, although I love Thai food and many other ethnic cuisines. Honestly, even writing this review now, my mouth is watering!! I wish I could eat there for dinner again tonight, but unfortunately, I'm home now in Los Angeles....

The service was friendly and efficient - we were very well cared-for. This is probably not a great place to go if you want to linger over your meal and not be bothered, as the service is fairly fast (at least around 9pm on a Friday night), but it's not the kind of place one should choose for an intimate drawn-out affair anyway. It was, however, very romantic and charming in its own right, and the food was to-die....

This is a fantastic little hole-in-the-wall in Miami's Coconut Grove.
The cons: small and cramped.
The pros: fantastic food, very fresh and truly delicious. Reasonably priced.
Some of the best Indian I've had in Miami. If you like spicy, order "Indian Spicy" because just spicy is spicy by American standards and it's really not that spicy.

Had the Dhaal Soup and, Crab Samosa it's awesome. Then followed with the Lamb Roganjosh, delicious and flavorful very aromatic. Awesome garlic Naan too!

We loved it and will be back!!!

As a resident of Coconut Grove we are lucky enough to have Bombay Darbar as our neighborhood restaurant. Our Saturday evening dinner was as good as previous nights. We are never disappointed in the food or service.

This is the best Indian food in the Miami area. Each dish is perfectly prepared and the staff is very attentive. I give it 5 stars despite the fact that it is a little too small and sometimes feels like the tables are too close together.
