    The most beautiful restaurant ever with amazing service and delicious food. Servers were very accommodating for our gluten and shellfish allergies! They repeated the allergies when they served our food which made us feel very safe.

    Three of us ordered. Two appetisers came and the other one came much later which means the two were waiting for quite a while until foods became cold unfortunately. We ordered dine around. Appetiser would be better if it is lighter. Too much heavy carbo in one meal. We enjoy the pita a lot. And the waiter delivered very good service when he came around but he seems need to deal with a lot at the same time.

    Went for dine around for lunch. Only a few people in restaurant. The food server was very nice and explained the menu. The appetizers were fresh and tasty. The pita pocket was good similar to a falafel. Meal was good as was company and service.

    Our first experience at Darya was for the brunch buffet and it was very good! Not only was there a wide variety of delicious food to choose from, the service was great! The coffee was included and was of good quality! Will definitely go back!

    Overall was good, a little pricey for what you order but the server was very good and attentive. Food had good flavor and smelled amazing but I know we have had even better other places for less $$. It’s so dark I missed that the wine I ordered was $24 a glass so that was a bit of a shock but we liked the decor, music was good , overall I would say it’s good, not great, definitely worth a try.

    Great food, good service. We enjoyed the Dine Around menu. A couple of us questioned the thump thumping choice of ‘house music,’ as it didn’t seem to suit the venue.
