India Darbar Restaurant
We are a full service restaurant serving authentic Indian cuisine. The word "Darbar" means "Royal Court", and our goal is to treat each customer as royalty by preparing the very best recipes from the sub-continent. Indian cuisine is famous for its use of aromatic spices in an infinite variety. Contrary to popular belief, Indian dishes are not always "hot and spicy".

We use spices in subtle combinations to enhance the natural flavors of each dish. Each entree is prepared according to your request - mild, medium, or hot. Our menu includes the best recipes from both North and South India. From the North, we offer Tandoori dishes, baked in a traditional clay oven.
Services
Our location is at 2333 W Wisconsin Ave, Appleton, just a couple of blocks east of N. Lynndale Dr. (Hwy A). We make every effort to keep the information on this web site current and accurate, but the menu and prices are subject to change, and we cannot be responsible for inadvertant errors and omissions.

FOOD is great and tasty but service and cleanliness can definitely use some help. They get a ton of take out orders though. We love their food but dining in sometimes is uncomfortable.

I gave an order for my Housewarming. Quantity and quality of the food was at par. I had almost 70 folks invited and they loved the food so much and even took the left overs. Needless to say this restaurant is the best in Greenbay area.. and the staff are so friendly ..

Decent little Indian spot. Prices are a bit high for the quality of food. Definitely not the best Indian food but satisfied my craving.
The individual that was serving was very nice. Pretty disappointed when the buffet was not open. I thought naan came with the meal but I was charged for it.

AMAZING place. All types Nan were good. We ordered for mixed veggies curry which was ok, paneer kurma and Shahi paneer was excellent. Starters like pakoda was great. Masala Chai - delicious. The person who served us was amazing. Overall good place for family dinner.

The best Indian restaurant in Appleton. The decor of the restaurant is not fancy, but the food is so good! Very vegetarian friendly, and if you tell them in advance, they can make the food vegan as well. My all time favorite is aloo tikki chaat, garlic naan, baigan bhartha, bhindi masala and mutter mushroom. For meat lovers, goat curry, lamb curry, or chicken tikki masala are great as well. I love their mango lassi in summer and masala chai in winter. I hope once we are back to normal, their lunch buffet can be open soon-- best way to try out new flavors.
Every time I leave Appleton, I miss their

Food is okay if you're inexperienced with Indian food. A little too sweet for my taste and not a lot of flavor development. If you order medium spice level it will be very mild so if you like any heat then ask for hot.

I had the vegetable samosas, malai kofta, a side of parathas, and gulab jamun. Samosas were huge, crispy and well flavored. Malai kofta was incredible, couldn’t stop eating it. Decent portion, rice was surprisingly fluffy, and delicious koftas. Parathas were very flaky and good. Medium spice level is not very spicy (less than sriracha) so I recommend hot if you want it spicy. Gulab jamun had a strong butter/ghee/milky flavor that I was not expecting, but delicious nonetheless. It was also served hot, which would probably be better in the winter, but still worth it. Highly recommend!

I have been a loyal customer at this restaurant for years. The dishes are truly delicious and home made. The wait staff is courteous and never leaves your water glass empty. I have been for both dinner and their lunch buffet. Some menu favorites include the Gobi Manchurian and Mutter Paneer.

A-ma-zing food. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken and Mushroom, and Lamb Vindaloo... with garlic naan and a mango lassi.

The flavors were amazing! The chicken was fork tender. The garlic naan was huge; bigger than a dinner plate.

Called and order food to go - wish there was online ordering, but not a big deal. When you call, they do give you the option of spicy, a little spicy, or mild food.

On a Sunday night, thirty minutes before closing Darbar made us one of the best Indian dinners we have ever had. We ordered the Darbar combo grill and chicken 65. Trying to our hardest to have our order remain conservative was difficult given the selections, however, being so close to closing we forced ourselves into remaining polite. In preparation for our feast we brought a hot bag for transport. Please forgive there not being any pictures to show, the intoxicating scent convinced us to dine most hastily upon our arrival home. Our food was delicious! Luckily, our dinner orders came with naan

My gosh. This may have been the best Indian food that I have ever had and I've had Indian food worldwide. My husband is a very bland eater yet he fully enjoyed the meal. The restaurant was empty with only one person who was picking up an order. But the owner said that we could sit down (he was wearing a mask, thank you)! He was very prompt to bring out our drinks (husband got a soda I got an hot Indian tea). We were so hungry so we ordered: vegetable samosas, chana masala, shrimp masala, chicken tiki masala, a cheese pakora, pompadon. This all also came with white rice and naan bread. OMG

So up front I should share two things.
1. I went for indian today to try to drain my sinuses, as I've been battling some drainage issues leading to a sore throat.

2. A server at a different restaurant actually recommended I come here.

On to my thoughts:

It's a small little place: casual. I came in during buffet hours, picked a plate: then last minute decided to just order from the menu (you can almost never get stuff off the buffet that's very spicy). I ended up ordering my usual meal accompaniment: vegetable samosa and a mango lassi. For an entree I got the Chicken 65 (I

The food here is so flippin good I just had to bump up this star rating. I actually catch myself thinking about the food here on a pretty regular basis and I just can't leave this review at 3 stars.

The service the second time was great, everything was brought out really fast, our orders were correct and the food was so good I basically licked my plate clean.

I hear a lot of good things about their lunch buffet so I hope to try it out in the next few weeks.

Great food. I'm from Chicago area with lots of good Indian restaurants. India Darbar is as good as some of the best, if not better than most. The Chicken 65 is different compare to some I've had. I actually like the one from India Dunbar a lot. Like the sauce and the perfect level of heat and taste.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Appleton. We tried a variety of dishes on the recommendation of someone who know who lives in India. Some interesting options I would have considered. Their menu is extensive and I don't know what a lot of the dishes are like. Next time, our goal would be the lunch buffet to be able to try more options.

Nope. Not for me.
All dishes we've ordered were on the too-much-salt side and flavor-wise not impressive.

I'll stick to the 'other' Indian restaurant in town.
