Masala Darbaar was founded in 2005 by Chef Rajiv Malhotra with a vision to bring authentic, royal Indian cuisine to food lovers. The name "Darbaar" reflects the royal courts of India where the finest culinary traditions were born and perfected.
Our journey began in a small 40-seater restaurant in Delhi, where Chef Rajiv introduced his family recipes that had been passed down through generations. What started as a humble establishment quickly gained popularity for its authentic flavors and warm hospitality.
Over the years, we've expanded to multiple locations across India, but our commitment to quality and authenticity remains unchanged. Our chefs continue to travel across the country to learn regional recipes and techniques, ensuring that every dish tells a story of India's diverse culinary heritage.
