Great meal with friends and great options for vegans and people who are dairy intolerant. We were in the upper level near the kitchen. It’s not the same ambience as the other spots in the restaurant, but overall Darya is a great treat.

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.
