From empty space to flavor destination.
In 1997, Darbar's Chicken & Ribs opened its doors on Liberty Avenue in Queens, New York. It began as a small, unassuming space — but founder Shabhaz Ganny had a big vision. Armed with a passion for cooking and a commitment to halal ingredients, he set out to serve honest, flavorful food to his community.
Rooted in passion, known for flavor.
Word quickly spread about Darbar’s unexplainably good fried chicken and friendly vibe. It wasn’t just a place to eat — it became a gathering spot for neighbors, friends, and food lovers. Everything on the menu was made fresh, and the dedication to quality never wavered.
More than just chicken.
Over the past 25 years, Darbar’s has evolved into a full-on comfort food destination. The menu has expanded far beyond fried chicken and ribs, now offering burgers, chicken sandwiches, fried rice, lo-mein, and more — all crafted with the same care that built Darbar’s from the ground up.
A community staple, built by family.
Darbar’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a family-run business built on tradition, hard work, and genuine care for the community. From the kitchen to the counter, the Ganny family has poured their heart into every detail, building a place where everyone feels welcome. It’s this family-first approach that keeps generations of customers coming back.
By now, you’re probably already thinking about that crispy fried chicken or saucy ribs.
