Delighted to be back here. The food and service are both excellent. Beautifully spiced. The baigan bharta (eggplant) was magnificent, and I couldn't stop eating the saag lamb. The range of spices was wonderful, from very mild (for the kids), to a bit burning, but delicious. It was a birthday celebration, and the highlight was when two children from a neighboring table asked if they could sing "happy birthday " with us. Just delightful!

We love this place! Walk in and are greeted with a smile. The food is delicious and authentic tasting - I particularly like the garlic naan and the saag paneer. The mango lussi this time tasted a bit off but everything else is amazing!

Absolutely phenomenal food and service! I will absolutely be back you can not go wrong here.

I've been eating at restaurants owned by Addi for over 30 years, he's employed the same chef for over 40 years who always delivers excellent quality food.

This is hands-down the best Indian food in Redondo Beach! My family and I are big fans of Indian cuisine and have tried several spots in the area, but we recently revisited Addi's after some time away (mainly because it's a bit farther from home). Now, it's officially our top choice, regardless of the extra drive. The food was absolutely amazing--my son practically licked his plate clean! We were even tempted to order an extra chicken tikka masala to take home. Thank you for creating such flavorful dishes and for sending us home happy, full, and already planning our next visit.

This is our go-to spot for North Indian food to go in south bay. We usually get Malai Kofta and it is really tasty. They also have some unique dishes like Baingan paneer, which we thought was interesting. We have never dined in at Addi's so can't say much about their service. Overall, its a great place for Indian food in Redondo Beach.

I ordered chicken tikka masala and veggie curry take out earlier tonight. Walked into a very classy and busy restaurant. Every table was full and everyone looked satisfied with their meals. Our food was excellent and flavorful. We are glad we ordered rice as our curries did not come with it. Portions were large and we had leftovers. Highly recommend this spot for Indian food if you like curry. Looks like a nice spot for a date as well.

Behold. The longest and perhaps the most favorable review I have written on Yelp to date. The short version is: this is best Indian restaurant in the neighborhood, and perhaps all of Los Angeles. Firstly, due to taste, secondly, the ambience and service. Let me tell you more. History and context: the restaurant is named after the boss, Addi, whom is friendly, always smiling, and befriended me and my wife after our second visit. The restaurant has been around for 25 years (thank god we recently discovered it), and has been working with his chef for 35 years. You can see the boss greeting locals and usual customers. I overhear and observe folks traveling from afar, large parties, and even coming here by oneself. The ambience is excellent. I believe Darbar translates to a court or a formal reception of a prince. The decor of classy paintings, solemn statue, gigantic bottles of champagne, and tasteful window drapings are accented by quiet, melodic tunes. If you come here around when they open, 5pm, upon served the quality of food, you are transported to a royal court experiencing a feast for a king. Let's talk about the food. My wife and I came here two weeks in a row. Everything was exceedingly delicious. Last week, we had spicy chicken wings, naan, tandoori combo, saag lamb, hot pickle, and onion pepper salad. They only had three spice levels: mild, medium, and spicy. We had spicy wings, and it was quite spicy (we are Chinese; we eat spicy). It was crispy, fragrant, and flavorful. The tandoori combo was the perfect portion size, and had a yellow chicken that was a new flavor I've never tasted. The saag was soooooooo good, we got a saag paneer to go after. What connects all these food was the piping hot temperature in a good way (make sure you eat onsite). I also learned from my Indian friends that I can dip raw onion into curry, hence ordered the onion chili salad. The powerful spice level was something unique and euphoric; basically after the spice pain passes, your tongue has a lo-fi numb feeling that's vaguely tingly, relaxed, and "massaged." Today, we went back after one week of high anticipation. We ordered tandoori calamari, lamb rack, butter chicken, vindaloo, onion chili salad, (and saag paneer to go). I mean where have yall ever seen tandoori calamari? They were large cut, perfect for first bite as an appetizer. The lamb rack was perfect: the particular choice to keep two bones as one cut is smart; our medium rare tasted so good while biting into the juicy meat. Butter chicken and vindaloo were great. The onion salad was marinated, sweet/sour, and once again helped achieve the post-spice nirvana. Whenever I discover such a gem of a restaurant, I think it'd be great if this place gets a Michelin star or some high recognition. But then I selfishly hope it doesn't so I can come here without a reservation, and the occupancy is already at 80%+. In summary, huge praises to the boss and this magnificent restaurant.

The food was really good and flavorful. I would definitely recommend the mango lassi, it's so good especially with the lamb vindaloo. The service was great too as the waitress would always check on us. The ambiance is good as well though I'd say the lighting was quite dim.

So my friend has been raving about this place and we finally got to go. Well, I believe I'm spoiled after eating some upscale Indian in Manhattan with considerably higher prices. Service was good; rice complimentary which is nice these days. Portions generous i.e. I will have some leftovers to nibble on for lunch. But the Saag Paneer was a bit bland; maybe I should have requested spicer. The Chicken Vinadloo did not have enough kick to it either but was tender. The Garlic Naan was disappointing as it seemed more like pita. Come with moderate expectations and you'll be fine. Free parking available.
