A practical choice if your group splits between vegetarians and meat-eaters. Ask to be seated in the vegetarian room, order the thali, and confirm hours since listings show a long trading day.

Why it matters
Why Darbar Indian Cuisine is worth your time
Groups with mixed diets are the hardest to feed in Kuta, because the pure vegetarian places do not suit everyone. Darbar's separate vegetarian room, as reported by one guide, offers a middle path.
It sits on Jalan Kartika Plaza, close to the malls and beach, so it is easy to fit between a beach visit and shopping. Two independent guides list the same street number, which adds confidence in the address.

How to experience it
Finns Beach Club says the vegetarian dining room and kitchen are kept apart from the main room to avoid contamination, and names a signature thali, cheese naan and prawn biryani. Pickyourtrail lists masala chai, curries with naan and rasmalai, and describes the food as Punjabi and home-style.
For a vegetarian family the thali is the simplest order, as it brings dal, vegetables, bread and rice in one go. If the group includes someone who avoids egg or onion, say so at the table; no diet tag is given because the restaurant also serves meat and the separation claim comes from a guide rather than the restaurant.
Try rasmalai after the meal if you want something mild and sweet.
