Mumbai Darbar Indian Restaurant was recommeded to us by our friends who spend a lot of their time out dining. It is a well placed on the main street of the town of Alvor with a large outside area and a very pleasant interior (comfortable seating). The service was good and the so is the menu choice. I recommend the home made samoosas (not standard) for starters plus another choice (only 2 samoosas). There is a wide choice on the menu. I had the Madras curry. Hot is indian medium but did raise a considerable sweat (which is normal for me). Fiona had curried lentils. Both were well presented and more than sufficient. We ended off with the Indian ice cream All in all an excellent meal. We'll be back!

First visit here and what a superb place to eat. Both my wife and me had different dishes and they modified them to make a little spicier to perfection. I had my favourite dish of lamb patia and the quality of this one was up there with the best I have had in the last 20+ years. I highly recommend this restaurant for quality of food, menu and excellent friendly service.

One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. Top class

We have been to this restaurant a few times, all very good, but our most recent there was disappointing. The lady who took our order didn’t bring an onion bhaji, for starters, that my husband requested, so my husband and I had to share one starter. My husband asked for a mild special biryani and received a spicy one. I had a delicious main there before, but I couldn’t remember the name of the dish, and wanted to reorder. I explained to the girl that this was a tomato based dish with spinach and pointed to one on the menu that I thought it might be. She confirmed a dish on the menu was what I was looking for, but when it arrived it was completely different to what I asked for. The dish presented was a brown sweet sauce, nothing like the one I had described. I find the men are more aware of the menu, and are much more attentive., always helpful and offering suggestions. The lady who took our order didn’t listen to what we were asking for, and had no interest in what she was doing.

The food here is spot on to our taste. Our experience in Portugal generally is that their Indian food is under spiced compared with U.K. However, here it is top dollar and certainly, by far, the best I’ve come across in the local area. Why it’s not much busier is beyond me but to our advantage. Very pleasant, multi lingual staff and a joy to visit.

I’ve been here with a friend, I love Indian food and I saw a lot of good reviews for this restaurant, so we chose this one. The best thing we could ever done! The food is amazing, as the staff: I didn’t know the names of the dishes but I knew that I wanted something with coconut, so I asked to advice me some dishes with that and explain what’s inside. Everything went exactly as I expected, the chicken Korma that he advised was delicious! And they have a lot of vegetarian choices. This restaurant is very local and typical Indian, absolutely the perfect choice if you want to taste real Indian flavors! Small advice: in the menu there are only the names of the dishes, not what’s inside; maybe a good improvement can be writing the ingredients under the plates! For example, if they have fruits, nuts, which kind of veggies, coconut, yogurt, cream, etc… anyway, if you are in doubt just ask, and they will explain or advice!

We were recommended for the food. I didn’t like the plastic tablecloths and brown chair covers . Feels like they need a major renovation here . The staff were nice and the food was okay

On arrival there was no recognition that we were expected, despite showing The Fork reservation confirmation. Service from the husband and wife team was friendly and efficient. The interior of the restaurant was functional but less attractive than anticipated. Starters of vegetable samosas were unexceptional but acceptable. For mains we selected a couple of the house specialities - Kashmiri Korma and chicken Lababdar. Both were an interesting change and very palatable. Probably the best Indian eating experience we’ve had in Alvor over the years, but nothing special.

I have been to many Indian restaurants in Lisbon only to be disappointed by the level of taste. This place is what Indian food should be like. The restaurants in Lisbon would learn a lot from this place nice food and brilliant staff.
