FLAVOURS THAT ONCE CROWNED DYNASTIES.
At Royal Darbar, we celebrate the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine. From the rich, regal flavours of Mughlai kitchens, to the bold spices of North India, and the vibrant coastal tastes of Goa, every dish is rooted in tradition and cooked with care.
What started as a simple love for real Indian food has become a place where people come to relax, eat well, and feel at home. In the heart of Emsworth, we cook with time-honoured recipes, carefully chosen spices, and genuine hospitality. Whether it’s a quiet dinner or something worth celebrating, we make sure it’s done right.

Testimonials
An excellent meal with excellent service. This restaurant is certainly different than the 'typical' British Indian restaurant (not that there is anything wrong with those!) The Darbar offers different dishes with different combination of spices, it is a bit more expensive than a 'typical' Indian restaurant but it is easy to see why. A lovely meal.. we will be back.

We had such a lovely meal at Darbar this evening. The food was amazing and the team were incredible. We were given great recommendations, encouraging us to try more authentic dishes, which we absolutely loved. The staff were attentive and very personable, making the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable.

This was a excellent experience! The food was delicious and the staff were amazing. They were kind and very friendly. My younger brother was able to go into the kitchen and look at how they made the food. Honestly the best experience that I have ever had at a restaurant! My grandad was 95 today and all of the staff came and said happy birthday to him, sing him happy birthday and even gave him a little treat. I will be definitely coming back here again!
