Darbar's Chicken & Ribs | Our Story

Queens' Comfort Food Since '97

Darbar's Chicken & Ribs started as one small counter on Liberty Avenue. Nearly three decades later, it's still family-run, still halal, and still the spot Queens keeps coming back to.

Hand-breaded, never frozen — with a crunch and juiciness no one in the neighborhood could match. Word spread fast.

As the neighborhood grew, so did the menu — burgers, ribs, fried rice, lo mein, and more. Everything still made to order, every time.

The Ganny family has run every detail since day one — the kitchen, the counter, the standards. That's why the food still tastes like it means something.

Darbar's now serves Queens from South Richmond Hill and Rosedale — the same halal commitment Shabhaz built this place on in '97.
