Very nice people. But not such a great falafel--soggy, overdressed, and really sorta bland. Sorry. I won't be back. read more

Nice, cozy space with the most beautiful flowers. Friendly, quick service. Last and most important, the food was DELICIOUS and FRESH! I had the steak platter and mint ice tea... Best ever!! Can't wait to try the other items in their menu. read more

Darna Falafel - Falafel Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a pretty solid restaurant for sandwiches and smoothies. I had the chicken wrap, and it was very good. The french fries inside were a nice surprise. The seating is very limited with only three or so tables inside, and a couple of benches outside. The only downside to my experience was that the guy behind the register came out to have a smoke, and I didn't see him wash his hands before he started working again. read more

I love this place for Falafel, especially the Kafta. Flavorful, inexpensive and has great people and tea to boost. Amazing and I go back often. read more

The falafel is seriously outstanding. Crispy outside, fluffy and light inside. Maybe the best I've had. Not the heavy, soggy, clay-like stuff a lot of places feed you. Tahini dipping sauce is thinned out, unlike other places. It gives it a lighter feel. Not like you're eating exotic peanut butter. The desserts are tasty, but not the traditional, decadent, honey-doused monsters of other places. (I prefer it lighter, but you may disagree.) Very small place -- maybe 6 seats. read more

Falafel were very dry and undercooked. Not enough sauce, bad tasting food basically. Place is small and looked unclean.

AMAZING! Talk about a party to your taste buds with a reasonable price... Finally! From their golden brown falafel, grilled veggies, crispy sweet potatoe fries and their ever incrediblee mint iced tea this place is just what Court St. needed. And the decor they sure put a lot of effort in turning this place a beauty for the eyes, the benches infront of the restaurant and around the tree were great ideas. Darna I want to take you home with me. read more

By far the best Mediterranean food I have ever had in NYC. It's a cute little restaurant in the heart of downtown Brooklyn with the most beautiful vintage decor. I have been coming here for years and have never once been disappointed. I mean where can you go wrong with great food and reasonable prices. This will forever be my go to sandwich shop. read more

Great spot! Very friendly staff and excellent food. Don't sleep on the French fries!

This is a wonderful Mediterranean place. Delicious food. Wonderful people. Great place. It's a small place but very cozy. I love how they serve plenty of food in such an affordable price. read more

Great food and not too expensive. Great lunch spot that feels real in a neighborhood of over-designed generic hipster joints. Yemen tea is great. Very friendly staff and that's not a given these days. Pay then a visit! read more

Just had the falafel here yesterday. It was your standard falafel platter, pita lettuce olives cucumbers, etc. I really liked that they had Sriracha. That's always a plus in my book. The falafel was good, but nothing special. I really liked the space, small but nice decor and a good homey vibe. I felt comfortable there to say the least. For the price, I'd say it's worth it. read more

Darna Falafel - Darna Falafel - Falafel Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love their falafel! This quickly became my favorite middle eastern joint in the neighborhood. The super friendly staff make great recommendations. The place is tiny but there's usually a free table if you don't want to take the food to go. Their kitchen looks so small we were wondering how they manage to make so much delicious food back there when we saw what looked like a middle eastern grandma delivering home cooked food to the restaurant, so now you know it's authentic. read more

I got a delivery order from this place a couple of weeks back and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and Lentil Soup, but they called me back after I placed my order and told me they were out of the soup. They suggested I try the hummus instead.... well, I'm glad I did b/c the hummus was some of the best I've had. I loved the little pool of olive oil and olives that dressed the top! Yum! The salad was tasty as well, and much better than a lot of delivery salads I've had. I've heard the Chicken BLT is the thing to order, so that's next up on my list! Btw, the staff at Darna Falafel is super nice. Call these guys up or order through Seamless... I think you'll be pleased :) read more

Before Darna I didn't think I liked falafel-turns out I just never had falafel this good before! I can't seem to walk past without getting a Darna Falafel sandwich, even if I don't think I am in the mood I am incredibly satisfied. They give you a side salad and the stuffed pita for $5 even-a great deal for a hearty lunch. They offer whole wheat pitas that still taste as good as the original. Lastly, the sandwich is stuffed with 4-5 crunchy and not greasy falafel along with lettuce, tomatoes and a great tahini. The last time I went they put so much tahini and it made me realize just how perfectly creamy and savory it is. I always try to eat half and save some for later, but this never happens. Add just a teeny bit of their hot sauce and the taste is totally elevated. I have dined here and that was cool but there are only a few tables, although it never seems too crowded. I prefer takeout, they don't take long to get your food prepared and I have always had friendly service. They also have some nice Mediterranean teas to complement your meal. What a welcome addition to the area. read more

The iced mint tea. The semolina cake. The chicken wrap with turkey bacon. These are a few of my favorite things. A fine addition to the neighborhood. This is a small space with about 3 or 4 tables and is probably more of a take-out than eat-in. Friendly guys ruining it. Moderate prices. Tasty vittles. It's a sammich go-to! read more

Really cute place and super friendly service. I so wanted to love the food because of that, but unfortunately it was just OK for me. The side salad that I started with had lots of browned pieces of lettuce, so that was my first disappointment. I ordered the chicken kifta wrap and though it was served nice and warm, the tzaziki was just too watery and the inclusion of the fries into the sandwich just added a soggy texture. The chicken and everything was well seasoned but those few execution flaws brought it down a tad for me. The guys who work here seem super nice and because of that I would probably give it another try (there was a steak sandwich that I was eyeing on special). Let's hope my next visit is better than my first! read more

This place is Awesome food Tasty and well priced I tried the Chicken BLT , WOW!!!! Taste is amazing will be coming back soon read more

This is fabulous middle eastern food, and more! I discovered this one through yelp, and I am glad I listened to the reviews. I had the Falafel supreme wrap (with caramelized onions, feta, lemon tahini and roasted peppers yum!) which was wonderful. The falafel was so fresh and actually tasted like authentic homemade falafel. I recommended the the Chicken BLT to my BF, who said it was the most delicious thing he has eaten in a while. The seasoned fries are delicious although quite heavy on the stomach. Even the baklava was very nice. I find so many places cant get baklava right, and serve up stale dry/ walnut patties; but not Darna, the baklava was fresh delicate and had that rosewater taste to it, which I love. The prices are excellent, 8 dollars gets your a pretty large and filling meal. Definitely recommended & we will definitely be returning. read more

The only complaint I have is that I don't know how to decide what to order. I got the kifta wrap and my husband got the chicken BLT. They were both AMAZING. As soon as we walked in the guy behind the counter greeted us with a sample of the mint tea (SOLD) it was so refreshing and just sweet enough. The service was so friendly and swift. Definitely will be frequenting this spot read more

Darna Falafel - The kifta wrap. SSSSOOOOO GOOOOD - Falafel Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I finally gave this place a try after hearing so much good things about it from my homegirl- anyways I ordered and egg BLT for myself and she ordered a falafel whole wheat wrap- both were delicious and my eggs were cooked lovely! I also ordered the sweet potato fries that were so freaking addictive! There chipotle mayo was slamming as well I always got myself a hot Yemeni tea- that alone did it for me- didn't need no sugar or milk- just perfect The place is super cute for like about 2 people to just have a sit down lunch or dinner! I deff am coming back for those fries and the tea! MUST TRY P.S. The person who took my order was very patient with me as I am very picky with my food -great customer service :) read more

The food is SO freakin good. The chicken platter, hummus, sweet potato fries, baklava and mint tea were all delectable. read more

This was my first time trying Yemenite food. It was described as a mixture of Middle Eastern and American. Either way it's delicious. I had the chicken kifta wrap. It had a great spicy kick similar to buffalo sauce in heat. The wrap was seasoned very well and the fries were amazing. The staff was very pleasant and took time to explain the dishes which was appreciated plus they are all handsome men so BONUS! I topped off the meal with the spiced Yemen tea which paired well with the flavors. The only thing that could have made this better would be a toasted pita vs a wrap. It is something I would definitely order again though! read more

Darna Falafel - Falafel Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not sure if I didn't try the "right" menu since there are so many good reviews in here! Today I had a steak platter and a avocado breakfast sandwich and both the item was meh, flavorless. The steak platter smelled of straight turmeric powder and tasted plain. It came with bread and hummus. Bread was cold and the hummus was okay. Nothing like what I had expected or had from other middle eastern places. The wrap was okay but again nothing out of the ordinary. Wouldn't try again. read more

Chicken kifta wrap was filling and full of flavor. Definitely appreciate the addition of french fries inside the sandwich. Falafas was good. Service was really slow when I was there. The side salad they give you with every order is a throw away. read more

Stale pita , mediocre chicken ! Staff was friendly but the food wasn't up to the mark at all . Yelpers really rave about this place but sadly we were disappointed . I don't think we will return . read more

I wanted to try the smoothies in carrol gardens and I stopped into here. Really great atmosphere, friendly workers and very tasty smoothies. I had the happy mango and it was Delish. I plan on heading back for some food. Let's see! read more

Darna Falafel - Happy Mango Smoothie. Yumm - Falafel Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a really great spot for a quick lunch! They have a pretty big menu, my favorite is their lamb gyro wrap. The staff is very friendly and the food is quick. If you go, you HAVE to get their fries! read more

I always order for takeout when I'm working in the area. Service is great, prompt and reliable especially for someone on a rushed lunch hour. I do love the quaintness of the space, the ambience is cozy and nice and the food....yummy, tasty and satisfying. Never disappoints. Never. Try the catfish sandwich :-) read more

Does one of those places grab your attention and pull you In sometimes? That's what happens here. Darna looked like a little cafe in Turkey instead of one on Court street. Stopped in on a Thursday for a quick bite and had a salad with lettuce, feta, chickpeas, tomatoes, carrots and olives. It came quickly and hit the spot. I'll be back! read more

I am rarely disappointed by Darna. What I love most about this place, is you can eat like a pig (french fries, and BLT sandwiches) or you can eat somewhat healthy (falafel salad and hummus). Also, interestingly, some of my favorite menu items (see below) are not the traditional middle eastern foods one may expect from a place with the word "Falafel" in the name. For example, they have a great Cobb Salad in which they use dark green lettuce, quality bacon, and cheese (wish they used better quality chicken). They typically have large portion sizes, so you get a big bang for your buck. I have ordered french fries on days i'm feeling piggish and for a few bucks you get a HUGE order. Falafel is always good, but a little on the greasy side. Some top menu items: Chicken BLT Sandwich - trust me, order it Cobb Salad Falafel Salad Hummus platter read more

Darna's falafel is excellent: crispy copper brown on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside. The hummus was very good. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. The folks behind the counter are friendly. I appreciate the free samples of their teas and ended up with a perfect glass of iced mint tea. There are not very many tables, so have a plan to go. Tip: walk one block west to Clinton and sit in lovely Cobble Hill Park. read more

My sister and I stopped into Darna Falafel while visiting a family member in Brooklyn. Our food came very quickly and it was priced well. The menu has a wide variety of things; I got a falafel sandwich, while my sister got a chicken sandwich. We both really enjoyed our meals. We also got amazing tea that I am still thinking about a month later. Would definitely recommend for a quick, cheap bite to eat. read more

The consistency of the food and service does not disappoint. Try the Chicken BLT or Hanger Steak Sandwich. The staff remains some of the most professional, welcoming, and efficient I've seen in the industry. read more

Amazing food. I am a regular costumer here and always get the Kifta Wrap of Chicken BLT Wrap. Great food, atmosphere and workers.

While I like to praise, I also must update this review. I ordered some sandwiches a week or two ago, and it was clear they recycled old Falafel, and it was un-eatable. Please make the falafel from scratch each time. I will give it another try, but if this happens again, I will move on read more

Delicious and fresh lamb platter. The place is super small, so it was great to have my lunch to go. The smoothie looked really good, so in addition to my lunch, that I ordered online - I bought a smoothie on-site. It took a while, but he upgraded my size for my wait. The lamb was super tender and flavorful - with such a great value for lunch. I divided the platter into 2 meals! Yum. read more

Ordered for delivery from Seamless. $5.50 Energy Boost Juice. $7.25 Falafel Salad. $3.50 Grape Leaves. Of all three, the grape leaves were the best. Not overly oily like you often get. Four of five of them in the order. The juice is good, but I'm unfortunately realizing I don't like beets. So that's out. Although this was a large size for a good price. Just my flavor preference. Now the salad is disappointing. The 5 small falafel were likely very hot when thrown on top of the salad. Because the lettuce, tomato, cucumber and olives are warm. Eww. And parts of the lettuce are wilted. Not appetizing. The falafel themselves are okay. I've had better. Not worth the price for sure. read more
