Veg Darbar is a vegetarian and vegan Indian restaurant at 48 Poplar Road in Kings Heath, Birmingham. Its menu is built entirely around meat free dining rather than treating plant based food as a small alternative section. Lunch service at the weekend and evening opening through most of the week support both dine in and takeaway meals.
Starters draw on Indian street food and tandoor cooking, including onion bhaji, Punjabi samosa, vegetable cutlets, paneer shashlik and soya tikka shashlik. Sharing platters bring several of these textures together for a group. Vegan choices are marked across the selection, while paneer provides a richer vegetarian route for diners who eat dairy.
Main courses include North Indian bean and lentil dishes, paneer curries, vegetable preparations, soya based dishes and biryani. Rajma masala and dal offer naturally plant based comfort, while paneer tikka masala and paneer biryani provide creamy alternatives. Rice, breads and sides make it possible to build a complete shared meal.
Vegan desserts and a children’s menu extend the offer beyond the main curries. Although the restaurant specialises in vegetarian food, guests with allergies should still speak with staff because dairy, nuts, gluten and other allergens are used in the kitchen. Veg Darbar is particularly useful for mixed vegetarian and vegan groups seeking the breadth of a full Indian menu.
