I am absolutely in love with the Doral Bombay Darbar location. My first experience with Bombay Darbar was at the Coconut Grove location, which was lackluster compared to this location.
Alejandro, the manager, and our waiter, Sebastian, really made this experience worthwhile. They were both so charismatic and very attentive. The restaurant itself also had an intimate ambience to it, which is great for a date night.
For our appetizer, we had vegetables samosas with tamarind sauce, chili chicken, and papadum. Our appetizers were all delicious, but the samosas definitely stole the show. They were so doughy and had a nicely spiced center, pairing nicely with the tangy tamarind sauce.
For our entrees, we had butter chicken (mild) and chicken tiki masala (mild) with white rice and garlic naan. The garlic naan had a nice crisp, and both chicken entrees were so flavorful and soft.
For dessert, we had mango kulfi and kheer (not pictured). Although the mango kulfi was not my cup of tea (due to the lavender taste it had), it was still refreshing; if you enjoy a lavender taste, you will definitely enjoy the mango kulfi after a hearty meal. However, the kheer was so delightful and was one of my favorite parts of this meal. If you enjoy oatmeal or horchata, you will love the kheer. It was so soft and it also had sun-dried grapes, which added a nice pop.
Overall, we had a stellar experience at the Bombay Darbar Doral location. We will definitely be coming back!
