Durbar Nepalese and Indian Food

When we travel we eat out all the time, because I ABSOLUTELY refuse to cook when I am on vacation. But when we are home, we eat at home most of the time. It’s been awhile since we’ve eaten out at home. But last night we did. We went out for some delicious Indian food with Janet, Bob and their exchange student, Luke. The restaurant we tried was new to us, but has been in business for one year now, opening their doors to the public on March 11, 2023 . We went went to place called Durbar Nepalese & Indian Bistro, where they serve both Nepalese and Indian foods.

Not only are the dishes prepared with care by experienced experts, they also represent the traditional flavors of two unique countries. Whether customers are looking for a flavorful curry or a sweet dessert, Durbar Nepalese & Indian Bistro has something for everyone.

On a nice day, it would be great to dine outside on their patio, but it’s still a bit chilly for that right now.

So we all dined inside instead.

Durbar is a small family owned restaurant in Broomfield, where “Dreams Do Come True! After a lifetime of dreaming to open his own Nepalese – Indian restaurant, owner Sonali Sapkota and his family made it happen, and through hard work and perseverance, Durbar Bistro Restaurant was a dream come true!

This modest couple encompasses what being an entrepreneur means. They wanted their food to speak for itself, serving delicious authentic food and making each dining experience exceptional! Durbar Bistro is all about serving you delicious, authentic, memory-making Nepalese – Indian food.

We did what we always do when experiencing a new restaurant, particularly one that has so many exotic entrees from which to choose. We ordered a variety of different dishes and we all shared and enjoyed a little bit of each one. This time we all enjoyed some of the Indian delights. Next time we will focus on some of the Nepalese dishes.

We were started off with some crispy papadums for the table before we ordered. Papdums are thin wafers made from chickpea flour.

Next we ordered some appetizers for the table. We ordered 2 Double Combo platters, which included a vegetable samosa, onion bjahi, vegetable pakoras and fried vegetable momos, with a mint sauce and a tamarind sauce on the side.

We ordered a wide array of delicious items for dinner such as:

Chicken Vindaloo

Aloo Gobi, which is a vegetable dish with cauliflower and potatoes.

Butter Chicken,

Scallop and Shrimp Moilee

and some garlic naan bread.

Everything was delicious, but we all had our favorites. My favorites were the shrimp and scallop moilee, followed by the butter chicken. We did our best to eat it all, and we did a pretty good job of it too, but try though we did, there was still a bit left over. We were all pretty full at the end of the meal, but we were very happy and satisfied.

With full and happy tummies, we followed dinner up with games and port back at Janet and Bob’s house. It was a fun and enjoyable evening, as it always is. We all had a good time and a lot of laughs.

Durbar Nepalese & Indian Bistro is located at 6590 West 120th Avenue, Broomfield, CO. We just walked in and were served right away by the very friendly and helpful staff. But if you go on a Friday, it would be best to make a reservation, since they have live music on Friday evenings, from 8-12. Their phone number is (720) 287-3307 or you can contact them online at durbarbroomfield.com or durbarbroomfield0323@gmail.com. We all said we want to go on a Friday evening next time to experience the live music and entertainment. 🙂

Walk on the wild side and venture out to parts unknown. Life is an adventure. Make the most of it. 🙂 Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
