OK, so it's not in the most popular section of New Haven, on a corner off on its own. But despite appearances, this is an outstanding spot for hearing live bands and performers. During the week it showcases a diverse selection of music and talent, and on the weekends you can listen to well known bands or outstanding jazz and blues players jam.
If you are in the mood for exquisitely prepared Indian cuisine, slip off to exotic India for the day at Dabar's in nearby Branford. Try an elegant but reasonable business dinner or a buffet lunch that offers a variety of authentic Indian dishes, specializing in Tandoori cooking, vegetarian cuisine, and curry selections. Finish off your meal with mango ice cream or traditional cheese patties. Darbar also features a buffet in the afternoons on Friday and Saturday.
