Shahi Darbaar Authentic Indian Restaurant

The food was delicious. Would highlr recommend the kohlapuri chicken if you love spicy food. The cheese naan was one of the best in melbourne.

Shahi Darbaar has the best biryani nearby to Watergardens I have tried so far.The ambiance is too good and the service was also to be high rated.They add own authentic South Indian spices which makes the flavour best and reminds the home kinda feeling.

Recommend the spicy chicken 65 biriyani and spicy Schezwan mixed fried rice 😀

Good portion for the amount paid. Also, cleanliness well maintained.

I had an exceptional dining experience at this Indian food place! The flavors were exquisite, and each dish showcased a perfect balance of spices. The attentive staff and cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend trying their diverse menu; it's a culinary journey worth savoring. Five stars without a doubt!

Okay, so me (white guy) and the Indian gf went in. We ordered chicken noodles, paneer chilli and Szechuan chicken. If you’re a spice noob like me you may want to let the staff know so they can customise it for you. The food here will make you cry and sweat but in a good way, I think it’s a great way to slowly build your spice tolerance. And I must say flavour wise it’s really delicious.

2nd day of Indian food experience after getting knocked out in the semifinals T20
Looking for comfort food!
The Goat in the Biryani was really soft and tender, really tasty! The achari paneer was red chilli hot! Lovely!
The food is not at all disappointing unlike the Indian cricket team result!
Definitely recommend the food but not the team!!!!!

This Indian spot is amazing! The food is bursting with delicious flavors, and every dish nails the perfect mix of spices. The staff is super friendly, and the vibe inside is cozy. You gotta try their varied menu – it's a solid five-star experience!

Delicious food and the mango lassi is sooo good. The waitress and the chef are so kind and attentive. You can tell the chef puts a lot of love into those dishes! Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for some good eats

The food there was absolutely amazing! They served up some seriously delicious dishes with incredible flavors. The service was top-notch too, with friendly staff making sure everything was just right. The vibe was cozy and inviting, and I had a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend giving it a try! You won't be disappointed! 😄🍛👌

2nd day in Melbourne and we were searching for some halal restaurants… and we found this one.. The taste is awesome and i would recommend you guys to try out their fried rice, which is really flavoursome.had veg fried rice and chicken fried rice..I heard their biryani and haleem is also really nice, as the chefs are hyderabadi..

Again the same menu today with the lovely flavorsome taste...hats off guys..Desi taste

We go there just for their goat mandi which is really really nice. Do try their biryani and starters. Make sure you mention the spice level beforehand. And also it’s the only place in west side to get mandi.

Good ambiance. Famous for Mandi biriyani, but it is available on weekends only. Wide variety of dishes are are available here. Comparing to other hydrabadi biririyani's here biriyani is bit spicy. Good for spicy food lovers. Very friendly staff and service. Cost of food is normal and didn't compromise in the quantity. Varity milkshakes are available toi.

The food was really tasty..... Must try..... Friendly staff..... We have ordered chicken mandi, kadai paneer, veg manchurian, schezwan veg noodles they were really 😋yummy,,,,, yummy yummy in my tummy,,,, thank you guys,,,,, c u soon again...

One of the best and resonabily priced (without compromising on quality and quantity) food outlets in the locality. The service was excellent (Kudos to Theja and the team) and they ensured we were ok and comfortable. The food was really tasty, seemed fresh and homely. Will definitely visit you again. Me and my family had a good experience at Shahi Darbaar during dinner. 👍👊

Ordered take away food here for the first time. The phone service was great, food was tasty and price was fair. I would definitely order from here again

Kind service, made extra vegan for me - super! I'll be back at next oppurtunity!

Guys you doing so good and the best catch was Garlic naaans alwaysss
Every single curry so far is amazing not like any other Indian restaurant.. 👍👍😊😊👍👍
I don’t know how many times I have tried your food now .every single time it’s outstanding…. So loved it 😍

I have visited this restaurant with my brother's recommendation and had the Mandi chicken.. Taste is awesome and i was really surprised to have this taste and felt like I am in Hyderabad. Will visit again for sure.

We ordered Mandi for 4 and the quantity of the food is so big but we somehow managed to finish the food and the price is very reasonable compared to other restaurants.

Highlight point is that the chicken and rice are very fresh and not cooked from the frozen items which I feel that i can stay healthy after eating this Mandi.

Finally Very happy to find a place, to eat the taste of Andhra food in Melbourne
Thank you so much guys
