Fantastic! 5/13/2008

My wife and I tried Durbar out this weekend and really enjoyed it. Though it was Saturday and the buffet looked good, we opted to order just Nepalese dishes from the menu after reading all the great reviews. Everything was delicious! We started off with some roti and aloo ka achaar, which is a potato salad with a hot tumeric dressing, onions, and peppers. The aloo tama is a earthy, pungent, and aromatic dish of chickpeas and bamboo shoots. Be sure to try the absolutely delicious momos- savory steamed dumplings served with a tangy and spicy sauce. The rice pudding is far superior to any we've had elsewhere in the triangle. Shyam, the host, was very friendly and and fun to talk to. We talked about several of the reviews here and elsewhere as well as the pictures on flickr. Durbar does not have a liquor license at this point so there was not beer or wine, but it sounds like they may someday get one. The goat curry mentioned in several reviews is not a menu item but is always served on the Saturday buffet. Other regular Saturday buffet items include aloo tama, the rice pudding, and many Indian favorites. My wife and I are big fans of Indian (we've been regulars at Sitar since Kashmir closed, and enjoy the nearby Spice & Curry and Tandoor) and were happy to see dishes such as malai kofta, matar panir, and rogan josh among the 84 items on the menu. We will definitely be back!!! Pros: Excellent Nepalese dishes and a great variety of Indian on the menu, best rice pudding around Cons: No Liquor license, the only improvement would be if the menu designated which items are Nepalese more
