    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.

    Poor service. We waited for 1 hour for the food. This is very disappointing. It is our first time to be here but our Valentines day was already ruined. Unfair treatment. The other couple who have just arrived has already received their order but ours was not yet completed until they funished and gone. We followed for couple tomes and I was so mad to this kind of treatment.

    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.
