Whether you're in the mood for a sumptuous biryani, zesty Indo-Chinese dishes, or a savory South Indian breakfast, Royal Darbar promises a culinary journey that will leave you craving more.
One of the standout offerings at Royal Darbar is their biryani. The Egg Malai Biryani is a must-try, featuring basmati rice delicately cooked with boiled eggs in a rich and creamy malai sauce. Priced at CA$14.49, it bursts with aromatic spices and herbs that elevate each bite to bliss. Equally enchanting is the Ghee Roast Cashew Egg Biryani at CA$14.99, showcasing gheeroasted cashews that add a delightful crunch to the dish. My personal favorite, the Ulavacharu Egg Biryani, further embodies tradition with its robust flavors, making it a highlight among enthusiasts of this classic dish.
But the offerings don’t stop there. Royal Darbar's Indo-Chinese selection is vibrant and flavor-packed. The Chilly Chicken shines with its perfect crispiness and rich flavors—the bold Indo-Chinese spices sing in unison, creating a memorable experience, as noted by regulars who can’t get enough of the dish. Vegetarians will also find solace in the Veg Manchurian Fried Rice (CA$13.99) and Veg Hakka Noodles, which are both expertly crafted to deliver an explosion of tastes.
The restaurant also pays homage to traditional South Indian breakfast options. The Plain Dosa, a golden crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter for CA$8.99, delivers a crispy texture that pairs beautifully with chutneys. For something heartier, the Masala Dosa, filled with a spiced potato mixture, is a crowd-pleaser that many reviewers can’t stop raving about.

“ We ordered for our family function and had the pleasure of having Royal Darbar[Oshawa] cater the food. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the start, Royal Darbar's team was professional and attentive, ensuring every detail was covered. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, each more delicious than the last. The food was delivered on time, perfectly packaged, and presented beautifully. Our guests were thoroughly impressed with the quality and taste of the dishes. The Chicken and Mutton biryanis were particular favorite (Honestly all the items including the appetizers), receiving rave reviews for its flavor and freshness. Every bite reflected the care and expertise that went into its preparation. Thank you, @Vicky Lanka @Royal Darbar for making our party memorable with your outstanding service and delectable cuisine. Our function was a memorable success. We were so impressed by the outstanding food and service that we've become regular customers since then. We highly recommend your catering services to anyone looking to elevate their event with top-notch food. Cheers, Chandra Sekhar Kolla ”
“ Absolutely loved the Chilly Chicken — perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with bold Indo-Chinese flavors. The balance of spice, garlic, and crunch was spot on. The staff was warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. Quick service with a smile — you can tell they care about quality. Will definitely be back! ”
“ Tried Rim Jhim Chicken Biryani and Babai Chicken. The flavor of biryani is so good and fresh. Portion size is so good. Best place in Durham to try biryani. Staff is super friendly especially Dhanya. Will visit again ”
“ Absolutely loved the food at Royal Darbar! I ordered the Tandoori Momos, Malai Momos, and Manchurian — everything was delicious, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. I had requested 10 pieces of momos, and they delivered exactly that, which I really appreciated. Great service and generous portions. Highly recommended for anyone who loves quality Indian-Chinese cuisine! ”
“ This was an excellent meal! The best Indian food we have had! The servings were large, price point very reasonable and the service was excellent! Raj had recommended amazing options for us to try as this was our first time eating here - will definitely return very soon! Thank you ”
“ We went on a Saturday when it wasn't very busy, so there was plenty of space inside for dining. The atmosphere was nice, and the views from inside were good. We ordered chicken tikka biryani, butter naan, Andhra goat curry, and bhindi masala. The biryani was good, with large pieces of chicken—probably enough for two people. The butter naan and Andhra goat curry were both tasty as well. ”
“ We ordered this place on uber on Friday April 25th 2025. We usually order from charminar in whitby but after being disappointed by the lack of chicken in the curry we decided to try this place instead. Super glad we chose this place, we got the typical “canadian” order of butter chicken, tiki masala, masala dum rice, and garlic naan. Everything was fantastic and the curry had lots of chicken in it. The portions were very generous and we had enough for dinner as well as lunch for the next day. We will make this our new go to spot for Indian food take out. Thank you for the excellent experience! ”
“ I love the food from this restaurant! So far none of the dishes I have ordered have ever missed! My go to order is the Goat Biryani & Chilli Fish. Chilli Fish is very spicy, I have high spice tolerance and even this is too much for me - but I love it! Samosas are decent Butter chicken is very good but not the best I’ve tried - it’s up there though ”
