“ Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and full of flavor — honestly, it’s been a while since I had such high-quality dishes at a restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Everything was fresh, well-presented, and served with a smile. Definitely one of my new favorite spots — I’ll be back for sure! ”

“ What a lovely dining experience with delicious, beautifully presented food. Our server was friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. We sat in the outdoor patio area. We live in the area and look forward to coming back soon! ”

“ I had a fantastic experience at Darna! The Middle Eastern flavors and service were excellent. I ordered the skewers, which comes with rice or potatoes but the staff allowed me to try a little bit of both since I couldn’t decide(both sides were delicious!). And that garlicky white sauce—amazing on everything! The food, service, and owners truly show their passion for their craft. I’ll definitely be back. ”

“ Cannot say enough good things about Darna. Myself and some friends went out for dinner and had a large sampling of their menu. We were all blown away by how delicious EVERY SINGLE dish was. We had a mixture of apps and mains and everything came out quickly and fresh! The chef even came to the table to personally check in on our experience, he was so kind and thoughtful. The photos are limited because we couldn't wait to dive in but overall a 10/10 experience and we cannot wait to come back to try everything we missed this time ! ”

“ I went to Darna Middle Eastern Kitchen for brunch with friends, and it did not disappoint! The service was great, and the portion sizes were generous, making it good value for money. The highlight of the meal was the beef shuka —absolutely exquisite, and full of rich flavors. However, I’d probably skip the Manakeesh, as it was rather dry and didn’t stand out. Overall, a solid spot for Middle Eastern cuisine with a welcoming atmosphere and well-executed dishes! ”

Sarah El Kaissi

(5/5)

“ I’ve been wanting to try Middle Eastern cuisine for a long time, and this place did not disappoint. A friend recommended it, saying it’s truly authentic—and they were right. Our server was incredibly patient and helpful, taking time to explain the menu and giving us space to decide without any pressure. After we placed our orders, he even suggested wine pairings that complemented our dishes perfectly. We ended up staying for about two hours, enjoying a warm and flavorful dinner. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish! ”

“ Our 1st time here. The food and services are excellent. We had falafel, Dana sampler, beef tenderloin skewers and siadiyeh (pan seared seabass fillets). Highly recommended ”

“ Loved every bite of all these Middle Eastern dishes that taste like home! The falafel are THE BEST in our city - grilled meats are marinated and cooked to perfection - the cauliflower dish is a must and the Knafeh is WOW! Staff are very attentive and hospitable as is the chef intakes time to visit tables individually to check on his patrons- will definitely be back! Atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing! ”
