Darbar Grill

Indian restaurants in Midtown East often cater to the lunch crowd, but Darbar Grill also keeps late-night hours for those who prefer spiced bites after dark. The menu spans vegan and vegetarian options alongside meat dishes, with small plates that pair well with cocktails or hard liquor. Happy hour draws a mix of office workers and neighborhood regulars, while the private dining room suggests they handle larger groups too.

Coffee and comfort food share the same space here, which makes sense given the address: 157 E 55th St, New York, NY 10022. This stretch of Midtown isn’t short on dining choices, but Indian spots with both beer and late-night service are less common. The place doesn’t advertise itself as a sports bar or a café—just a restaurant where you might linger over chai or a whiskey depending on the hour.
