Shahi Darbar Indian Cuisine Restaurant Review

Shahi Darbar is a beachside Indian restaurant in the Algarvian fishing town Armacao de Pera. Conveniently located and conveniently delicious ;), we found the curries to be flavorful and the staff super kind.

To enjoy a curry dish with a bread or rice, a beverage, and a dessert you’re looking at right around the 20 euro mark per head, on average.

During your next Armacao de Pera holiday, give Shahi Darbar Indian Cuisine a go when you’ve got a hankering for curry! 🙂
