    First time entrance to the restaurant was very great, the whole place had its unique atmosphere, the server at the door was very nice, however when we sat down and we start ordering the took all our apps and main dishes also the salads, within 10min the apps arrived, then we waited about an hour for the mains to be served although two table came next to us and their mains got in before us! When I asked the front desk manager he literally said “ your problem is not with me, and I was like can just check if the main will come out, he said it’s goes by course “ and when I asked our server she said I thought you still working on the apps although she checked in couple times with water and she saw us we were done with the apps and her excuse was “ you didn’t ask me to get you the mains “ and I told her you didn’t mentioned at the beginning that I have to mention it to you, and she was like okay I will get your food now without apologizing! The main was cold and lamb was chewy, the chicken was smelly compared to an authentic restaurants! However the apps were very delicious, are we going to come in again or recommend it to anyone else? Of course no!

    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.
