If I was on death row and had to pick a last meal this would be my last!!!! Go here nowwwwww read more

Tried Darna Mediterranean Eatery at Legacy recently. Started with two mocktails. The natural syrup flavors were good, but both drinks were overly sweet. Would've been much better balanced with more soda/seltzer water. The hummus brisket pastrami appetizer was solid. Really liked the caramelized onions with the hummus and pastrami. The bread was fluffy and really good, just wish they gave more than two pieces. Meat could've been hotter though. My wife got the seafood paella. Decent overall with large shrimp and mussels. She enjoyed it. The lamb shank was the huge miss for me, especially at around $40. It looked substantial at first, but the actual edible meat portion was pretty small. Most of it was dry, tough, and under-rendered around the connective tissue. For a Mediterranean restaurant, a slow-braised lamb dish should be a slam dunk, especially after it was recommended by our waitress. Service was average overall. We ordered additional drinks, but our water never got refilled during the meal. I'd probably come back if I was already in the area, but I'd stick to kebabs or other grilled items next time. read more

We love the pita bread and hummus -- absolutely delicious! The food came out beautifully presented and full of flavor. The place feels authentic and cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was excellent. Thank you, Yeser, for the baklava -- we haven't seen you in quite some time, so it was so nice to see you here! We'll definitely be back for more. read more

Parking in legacy west can always be a little tricky. Legacy west has a garage attached to it. Came in early for dinner on a weekday and there was no wait. The sampler was fantastic and allowed you to try a little bit of everything. The lamb chomps were also great. I subbed out a side for the rice. read more

My family made a last-minute decision to eat dinner here with my mother-in-law for dinner and we definitely chose right! We started with the Darna sampler which came with a bunch of different dips, crisp, veggies, and pita bread. It was such a great variety of dips, but my favorite was the feta cheese dip. For an appetizer, we also ordered the lamb cigars, which were so good. We ended up ordering more, I've absolutely never had anything like that! They had a few cocktails on the happy hour menu so we ordered a round of old-fashioned and my mother-in-law got a drink called by the sea, which is also known at other places as the aviator. Unfortunately, our server did not know that to get happy hour pricing you have to actually sit at the bar, but they went ahead and honored the price since we were holding incorrectly so great customer service with that! Everyone absolutely loved their food, from the lamb ragu spaghetti, to the lamb shank with saffron risotto, the seafood paella with lamb sausage, the lamb chops, and the saffron chicken. We all tasted each other's food and were thoroughly impressed. We ordered a pot of hot tea at the end of the night to help the food settle in nice and warm into our bellies. We weren't sure if we were going to get any dessert but one of the servers told us that it was the perfect time to order the crème brûlée because it was literally prepared 15 minutes prior so we put in an order for two and shared them across the table. I must say it is the most delicious crème brûlée I've ever had in my life! It had orange blossom, which gave it such a beautiful, clean, floral, elevated flavor, like nothing I've ever had! It was so fresh. It was still ever so slightly warm. We love how clean and open the dining area was, and they also have outdoor dining, which is perfect for this nice weather that we are getting. This is a great place to eat. If you are careful to not have pork in your diet, they do not have a single pork item on the menu. Absolute excellent restaurant, next time I'm in Dallas I will definitely stop by if for nothing else the crème brûlée! read more

Perfect spot for an anniversary dinner! Even with a full house, our reservation got us seated quickly. We loved the vibe--especially the private corner booth and the cute table lighting. The Standouts: * House-made Pita: Light, airy, and a must with the hummus and tzatziki. * Falafel: Per our server's great tip, I added these to the Beet Salad. They were perfectly crispy! * Smoked Old Fashioned: They prepare this tableside with a great smoke presentation. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our night special. We'll definitely be back when we're in Plano! read more

This restaurant is located in Legacy West, so there is plenty of parking available in the nearby garages. It also has pretty decor to go with the ambiance of the area. The food and service were a delight! My table shared the Muhammara / Pita (roasted red pepper spread, spiced walnuts, pomegranate seeds, pomegranate molasses, EVOO, microgreens). For my main course, I ordered the Darna Lunch Platter (hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, basmati rice, choice of chicken/falafel/lamb kofta/vegetable kebab). Both were delicious, and the workers here are very warm; it's evident they want to ensure everyone has a positive experience. read more

Last night we tried Darna at Legacy West & I was really impressed. The place is bigger than I expected, with a full bar and great specials (half-off wine on Wednesdays) We started with sparkling water, a spritz, & a dirty martini. The chef's hummus was fresh and creamy with a touch of tzatziki, and the pita was perfect. We also had the mussels in a rich red sauce and some crispy, flavorful falafel with a beautiful presentation. For dessert, we ordered the kunafa and woooow!!!! . I always try it wherever I go, but this one stood out with a little goat cheese mixed in. So gooooood! Overall food was FRESH , well seasoned, staff friendly and very welcoming & drinks were really goood... the GM suggested a Turkish coffee martini at the end and i must say it was SPECTACULAR!! Definitely recommend this spot and I'll be going back to try more of the menu. read more

Darna at Legacy West is a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy some great Middle Eastern flavors. I ordered tea along with the appetizer sampler, which was a perfect way to try a variety of dishes and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The presentation was great and each item had its own distinct flavor that made the sampler really enjoyable. The ambiance is stylish and welcoming, especially in the Legacy West setting, making it a nice place to sit and unwind. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the overall experience even better. You can also choose to sit inside or outdoors and they have a happy hour. read more

Food was top notch Ambience is pleasant with a very beautiful set up. We had baba ganoush, it was amazing. We also ordered their lamb platter. The plates were neat, nicely dressed emitting very fresh aroma and taste. Had their mint drink as well which was decent. Service was good, welcoming as well but I felt that the server did a few things that could have been avoided. He, kept pushing us to order more stuff, not once but three times, which looked a little odd to us. Also, at the time of payment, he was pressing a lot on tips and mentioned about his college fees, well we always tip good but this kind of behavior could have been avoided read more

Went there with my mom. It is a very beautiful and fancy place. We only ordered a sampler to share and the lamb cigars for my mom. They had some vegan options but not many. Service was nice. Although, there was a lot more dips then veggies and we asked for more celery but they said veggies came in a cup already so they gave us the cup of veggies and it had no celery at all and we were charged an extra $10!!! Kind of disappointed and an extra couple dollars for more a piece of bread. read more

We both love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern/Greek/Turkish food & hadn't really tried any places here in Dallas. We selected this place based on location & reviews, as we were at Stonebriar Centre & wanted something nearby. So glad we tried this place. It exceeded expectations. We were a bit early so got a table with no wait. We ordered the mezze sampler because we wanted to try a variety of appetizers & that could have been a meal on its own. Several favorites but really liked the spicy feta & the muhammara. The wife went for the lamb chops, a favorite of hers, while I went for the reliable chicken kebab. Everything was delicious, service was prompt & attentive, & the atmosphere was busy but not distracting. It got quite crowded a bit later, but didn't feel overcrowded or noisy. We'll definitely be back. read more

This is my new fave at legacy west!! It's a little upscale Mediterranean place perfect for brunch. Ambiance is great and the decor is so pretty!! I loved the hummus and the pita was baked just right because even my picky child couldn't stop eating the pita!! Chicken kebab was juicy and flavorful. The brunch menu was small but great- the berry berry pancakes was nicely done and not overly sweet. Service was great and I highly recommend this place! Can't wait to come back :) read more

Darna Mediterranean is a spacious, upscale restaurant offering hummus, Mezza plates, and entrees in an elegant setting. The dish that blew me away was the Lamb Ragu Hummus, built on a base of smooth, creamy Israeli-style hummus, topped with ground lamb ragu, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, chickpeas, crispy pita, pickled onions, blistered tomatoes, and saffron yogurt. This combination of toppings packed a punch in terms of flavors and textures--the hummus was creamy, crunchy, savory, sweet, and acidic all at the same time, and it paired perfectly with the two freshly-baked pita breads on the side, which were soft, crusty, and topped with a sprinkling of za'atar. We also got the Turmeric Cauliflower, a heavily-spiced, roasted head of cauliflower dressed with tahini, chermoula, pomegranate seeds, and saffron yogurt--another beautifully-presented and flavor-packed dish! read more

Darna is a Mediterranean style restaurant/ bakery/ restaurant located in a mixed use area of West Plano called Legacy West. I have been coming to this place for a while. I love the sidewalk seating area with a look and feel that is common in Europe and the middle east. The ambience is great for socializing, casual dining, or date night. One side of the bar opens to the streetside patio which adds the euro ambiance I mentioned above. They have some very good signature cocktails but the bar is otherwise limited in their selection of liquors. There has been quite a bit of turnover with bar staff during in the last couple of years. Nevertheless, although not always exceptional, service at the bar it is usually more than adequate. My food servers (when seated at a table) have all been knowledgeable and competent . I usually request one in particular (Nawar) that is very attentive and goes the extra mile. Entrees: -saffron chicken kabob: delicious -lamb chops: I didnt love it but I never was a fan of lamb -Grilled salmon: very good Cocktails: the "Mediterranean Mule" is pretty good, as is their "old fashioned " Desserts: their Kunafa is delicious but the bar's pairings with (and knowledge of) alcoholic aperitifs is lacking. Best to just have coffee with your dessert. read more

I met up with a friend at Legacy West, and we stopped by Darna for a drink and dinner. I ordered the traditional hummus and had them add chicken to it. The hummus came out with 2 fresh pita breads, and it was really good. The hummus was fresh and seasoned really well, and the chicken was just chicken. It was a little dry, but the hummus made up for it. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area to try other items off the menu. The bartender was really nice and service was ok. If you like Mediterranean food, this place is worth to try. read more

This is the swankiest Mediterranean restaurant I have ever seen. The restaurant was empty on a Wednesday evening but it gradually filled up late in the night. The service was spectacular and the menu had plenty of exceptional options. I asked the server to choose between the Lamb Shank and Seafood Paella and he went with the Lamb Shank. Unfortunately, the lamb was a bit tough to where it could have been braised a few more hours. The Risotto wasn't cooked all the way so it was unappetizing eating undercooked rice so I left most of it behind. It was also too salty. I was very disappointed with the food. Maybe it was a bad night? I should come back and try the Seafood Paella and give another review. This is a fantastic place to take a date because it has a beautiful ambiance. I just hope your date is special because this place is pricey. read more

This is probably my new favorite restaurant. The lunch platter is AMAZING. It feels so fresh and fills you up without being heavy. Definitely recommend getting pita and tzatziki on the side, which is the best I've ever tried. I've also had the greek salad and it was good, but I do pickup for lunch usually and it wasn't the most ideal pickup order because you have to cut the lettuce up. Still good though. Highly recommend trying Darna! read more

Darna Mediterranean Eatery - Lunch platter with chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Can I give this more than 5 stars?!?! They have outdoor/indoor seating. Inside is cute, floral vines on the wall. During the day, it's bright and in the evening it's dimmer... no matter the time of day, the music is a uptempo blend of melodic beats that you can sip and bob your head to. The service is good, though, we did wait for the bill longer than we cared to... and this would matter more if the food and drink missed the mark. I had the pleasure of enjoying their hummus and pita bread. The hummus is nicely flavored and the pita is so soft and pillowy, perfect for pulling apart and lapping up the smooth, tasty, hummus! I'm a fan of spicy margaritas and this one Did.Not.Disappoint! I always get a little nervous about how sweet a drink might be, but this one was perfect! The blend of sweet, savory, spicy with a little bit of fizzy makes this a liquid delight! I don't get excited about alcohol, but this drink here is my favorite! Yep, I said it! Now to find a place that can top that! On to the entree-- Saffron Chicken Kebob. It comes with basmati rice, grilled vegetables, pickled veggies, tahini, harissa, cilantro sauce and muhammara pita bread. Everything is delicious, but the harissa is a connector!! It's mild and yet flavorful-- crazy how the flavors all explode in my mouth and all I could think of was how juicy, delicious, and dramatic this dish is! It literally commanded my taste buds to attention, so much so that I told my friend that we HAVE to go back! So yeah, we went Monday and here we are Friday... guess where I just left?!? You guessed correct Darna! This place can create a dangerous obsession! You've been warned... but take that warning with a grain of salt as THIS place is a 10/10 - HIGHLY recommend! read more

So yummy! We were in the area and snagged a lunch reservation, and we're glad we did. The food, 10/10, the decor/ ambiance, a vibe. I took off one star because our waiter was extremely slow. We were seated before two tables ( right in the middle of them) and didn't receive water nor asked what we'd like to order until after them. Other than that, this place was 10s all across the board. The manager was pleasant (I think there were two while we dined here). I highly recommend grabbing a table here for date night, Sunday lunch with the family, or anything in between--you'll be glad you did! read more

Love love loooove! My coworkers and I decided to go to lunch and I suggested this place because I wanted to order multiple things to try and I'm so happy we went! Everything was delicious and spiced to perfection. The cauliflower was super good I think it was my favorite dish we ordered. The mezza sampler is also great if you go with a group of people, easy to converse over and just enjoy delicious food. We sat outside since the weather was a bit cooler than usual but soon it got really sunny and hot, but the staff was so great and opened up the umbrellas to make sure we were comfortable! Our waitress was also excellent at checking up on us or clearing extra things on the table so we had room to move around. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it and definitely a great place to go with friends or family for a meal! read more

Darna has a very elegant ambiance from the get go and well done interiors. We were a party of 4 and ordered a darna platter, chicken picatta and their chicken skewer and saffron rice platter. The chicken piccata was a surprise and had a tangy sauce with capers. It was served on a plate of potatoes which melted in your mouth. The saffron rice was flavorful and the grilled vegetables paired with it were perfectly char broiled. Finally, the chicken skewer itself was extremely succulent! We loved the platter and the range of sauces received with it, so much that we ordered a second pita to finish up the dips. Definitely on the pricier end but you're paying for good food, service and ambiance. read more
