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

Date on a diet! The aesthetic of this place is cute & perfect for a date. The chicken skewer was good, they brought the chicken out on a grill stick & placed it on the plate nicely hot & fresh. The salad was not good at all, tastes like it still needed to be rinsed. I noticed people around me also left the salad alone. My favorite part was the desert! One of the best baklava's I've ever had! Service here was good, they came around often to check how everything is going. It's a good place to check out if you haven't already. read more

My friends arranged my birthday dinner there last night and their service was top notch. Everything we ordered was presented beautifully and all the servers were attentive and courteous. I'm comparing it to my recent birthday dinner at Uchiko across the street and things were definitely lagging in service there. Our hummus, muhammara, haloumi appetizers were delicious with the buttery soft pita breads sprinkled with zaatar. The anatole kebab and vegetarian kebab were top notch. I'll definitely return with friends and family. read more

Drinks only review - visited on a business trip and stopped in here for some pre-dinner drinks as part of a work function. What a STUNNING establishment! Beautiful decor, top notch service and delicious drinks. I'd love to come back here to try the food! Also liked the cute outdoor patio in front. The staff was so friendly, as we kept adding people to our group, they helped us expand our table, chairs and kept the delicious and pretty drinks coming. I was impressed! read more

Hubs and I came here to enjoy a healthier option for dinner. The restaurant is located in an outside mall. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor. There was only a small bistro sized table available. It was fine, other than there was no where for me to hang my bag. We really enjoyed our hummus those round fried potatoes and the turmeric cauliflower tower. The saffron chicken kabob was not the greatest. The rice was dry and so was the chicken. We also ordered Turkish coffee after dinner that came with a tasty mini gelatin dessert. Our server was ok, but hard to find sometimes. Like when we needed a refill of water or silverware. We ended up having to ask the hosts, for those things, because our server wasn't readily available. read more

This was our first time trying Darna. My friends and I went for an early dinner around 4:45. At that time, we were quickly seated and it was rather empty but by the time we left at 7 there were no open tables so it filled up quickly. The waitress we had was nice. She said it was her first day but I felt like she checked in enough but not too much. We tried the sampler since it was our first time there and it was delicious. We all got the chicken kebab plate. I really enjoyed it and all of it! The chicken, the grilled veggies, the salad, and the rice were all great. We also ordered mojito mocktails. My friends enjoyed the strawberry one and I enjoyed the pomegranate one. After my first visit here, I don't have any bad things to say about this spot and will definitely be back. read more

Our party of 9 arrived at noon, October 30th to celebrate our lovely friend's birthday. Our wonderful server, Elizabeth was friendly, wonderful and accommodating. She provided excellent recommendations from the lunch menu as well as dessert for our birthday girl. Chef welcomed us and talked to us all. Not only that, he gifted us a bottle of rose for our table. What a wonderful gift! We all enjoyed our beautiful lunch which was fresh and seasoned so well! I had the chicken bowl: tender chicken seasoned so well with yummy hummus and avocado slices. I am still thinking about my delicious lunch that I will definitely return. For our party of 9, we had excellent service. Elizabeth always had our water filled and checked on us. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant which is located in Legacy West. The lighting and decor are spot on with plenty of seating. For our large party, we can easily converse across one end of the table which is an issue at other restaurants. I highly recommend dining at Darna for the delicious fresh food with excellent service and beautiful decor with perfect amounting of seating with wonderful sound quality. I will definitely return for date night with my husband and lunch with my girlfriends! read more

Tried this place for the first time last night and it was wonderful. We were greeted by Roya, who was friendly and kind and told us to pick where we wanted to sit in the restaurant. We chose a cosey booth in the back by the flower wall. First impression is that the staff is friendly as everyone we passed on the way to our table greeted us. The restaurant is also a lovely space. Our server Mohammad was excellent. He recommended the Mezza Sampler platter to start that included hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammara, spicy feta spread, olives, pickled vegetables, harissa aioli and pita bread. It did not disappoint. Everything on the platter was absolutely delicious! The pita bread was freshly made, warm, and still puffed! So tasty! We noticed all the tables around us also had started with the Mezza Sampler. So, it is very popular and so worth it! It was difficult to decide on entrees. I wanted to try everything on the menu! My husband settled on the Mediterranean salad with chicken and I had the lamb burger. Both were excellent. We finished our meals with iced pistachio lattes. The barista was able to accommodate our special instructions without any issue, and the lattes were so good! While we waited for our coffees, we perused the dessert menu, and although we were too full to try any sweets, we definitely plan to save room next time we visit. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We look forward to dining with you again very soon! read more

The food was good and service was good as well. I gave 3 stars because there is a time limit to dine there which we were not told or aware of. My party of 4 ordered drinks and dinner, once we finished eating and enjoying tea, The manager came by and said you all have vacant the table because I have customers waiting. We were there for less than 2 hrs. Same thing happened to another friend who was celebrating her birthday and they too were ask to leave. We paid over $200 for for meals, we should be rudely asked to leave. This isn't a fast food place. This place should have sign at the entrance warning of dining time limit. I would understand a time limit if this place was an all you can eat Korean BBQ. read more

The seafood paella tasted great, serving is just enough for one person, the shrimp and scallops were tender. The chicken kebob was a little overcooked but the flavor is good, it pairs well with the arugula salad underneath.

The food and drinks here were incredible. I came here with a group and we all started off with the spicy margaritas, recommended by the bartender as he just made a fresh batch. This was the best spicy margarita I have ever had and another round was quickly ordered. We got an appetizer plate that came with fluffy hot pita bread fresh out of the oven and a variety of fun dips to try. For food, the fan favorite was the lamb burger. The goat cheese on the burger was phenomenal. We chose to sit outside because of how nice the weather was, but the inside of the restaurant was very cool and designed like an upscale market. Aside from the awesome bartender, the service could have been better, and it took a while to get our order taken and to pay the check. read more

Spent a Tuesday night here with my family. The food is athletic and well made. It's a restaurant that certainly knows what it wants to be. Atmosphere of the dining room matches the rest of the direction of the restaurant. Service wasn't horrendous, but could have been a lot sharper. Our server looked a little flustered on the greet. My mother asked to order a few appetizers with the response of "uhh...sure". No pre-bussing our table. Couldn't find him when we needed our check. Low energy, no ambition to be above standard. read more

Talk about stumbling onto a gem! I've passed this restaurant a million times and never thought to dine... today we had a taste for Mediterranean, wanted something flavorful, yet light and decided to stop here! What an awesome decision! The Chef Hummus on presentation alone is a reason to rave and return, but the flavor of the hummus concoction takes it over the top. Garnished with pomegranate seeds and alfalfa sprouts, topped with crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes- it's easily the very best hummus I've had the pleasure to taste (and I consider myself a lowkey connoisseur)! Because we were there to snack and not for a full meal, we only tried the Lamb Phyllo small plate (not pictured, we devoured)- again, sooooo flavorful! The dough is flaky and moist filled with a crumbled lamb that makes your mouth water! Can you tell I love this place yet?!? To close out our snack we had the Moroccan Mint tea. If you're a tea lover make sure you indulge; it was the perfect close to our first encounter. The service was nice, the open design was inviting annnnnnnnd there's a gorgeous floral wall covering the back portion of the restaurant perfect for ambiance and IG! Floor manager Moe took time to stop by our table and tell us more about the menu, sharing details regarding the myriad of. cultures represented within the menu. Everything about this restaurant is a YES! I'm questioning all of my previous Mediterranean experiences in Dallas at this point... Darna is exquisite and I can't wait to return for a full four course experience. read more

Friday night date night without anybody trailing us so we went all the way to Legacy West. First of all, our waitress Derya was top shelf. She knew all the sauces. Which were spicy, sweet and what's in them. Very friendly, very helpful. Salmon was extraordinary. It had a hint of smoke that put it over the top. Lamb couscous was also really good. Excellent mix of meat veggies and cous cous. Great evening all around. read more

Such an extremely beautiful restaurant with food to match! I visited Darna on 3/3 The restaurant is absolutely stunning! From the outside looking it is was immediately pulled into Dana's magnetic ambiance. This place is absolutely stunning. From the cozy yet luxurious outside seating to the modern bohemian lux chic inside you'll be whisked away to your own paradise. Upon approaching the Host the impeccable hospitality of Darnas was evident. Moe was my server and he made me feel right at home. He was super attentive and took the utmost care of me during my visit. I cannot say enough about the service. You can tell that the staff there genuinely love their job and they take pride in their food. You can taste the high quality of their ingredients. I started off with the muhammara & pita. The presentation of this dish was so beautiful. The vibrant colors and accents on fresh pomegranate prepare your taste buds for an absolutely culinary experience. The soft velvet texture with beautiful crunch of the muhammara were wrapped up in beautiful fresh herbacious flavors that were perfectly balanced. The pita was the best I have ever had. Soft, pillowy perfection! If you visit.. I mean WHEN you visit - this is a must try! I washed it down with a nice Mint tea that was served Table side. Moe's tea pour was epic, I wish I would've recorded it! The harissa stack was a generous filling portion! The sauces lifted this sourdough sandwich to the next level! Crunchy delicious sourdough, melty cheese pull and bold flavorful harissa turkey YUM! The potatoes were crisp and had a mouth watering note of citrus. I visited for brunch and had no idea I was going to fall in love with this eatery. I cannot wait to return to try their dinner menu. I wish more restaurants were like Darna. We felt absolutely appreciated here. The service is like no other. You will literally be treated like royalty. It's clean and beautiful inside. You are served out of this world delicious food with the freshest ingredients. We must continue to support great establishments. Pay them a visit I promise you will not regret it! read more

PURE DELICIOUSNESS!!!!! Every ingredient was hot and fresh! The hummus and fresh made pizza was a classic. We saw the Darna Fries on the hot bar and had to order them , the aioli they came with was light and refreshing. We were a little confused with the Greek salad as there is no lettuce, but it turned out to be just as delicious! The hot honey pepperoni pizza was delicious!!!! The hot honey was just the right amount and the crust was light and thin. Can't wait to return and try a kebab! The service was great and everyone was attentive and lovely! read more

Do NOT recommend this place. We stopped here on the Christmas bar crawl, so maybe they thought we were just there for the discounted drinks, however...we didn't order the discounted drinks AND we ordered food. It was really the service and "sneaky" costs. When our waiter took our drink order she didn't tell me what the upcharge was for a different type of liquor, and tried hard up selling us to a different app. We got our app and drinks and had BARELY finished our first drink before she came around asking how we wanted our check, and then took the food away before we were actually done. SNEAKY COSTS: pay attention when paying! Our waitress didn't tell us that there was already an 18% tip included on your bill, no matter how small the party. There is also an $8 fee to split the check, $8 per check. We left it all on one but thank goodness I caught the tip already being there. We felt so rushed. I was very confused by the service here. read more

The food was 4 out of 5. What brought this down to a 2 was the service alone. I'm literally sitting at my table as I type this. That's how bad the service is here. I'm not sure what planet this server is on tonight but it's not this one. I could keep going and going but I'm going to bite my tongue with the belief this isn't normal. read more

Darna Mediterranean Eatery - My stacked up plates for the last 25 min while I've waited for our server to check on us. - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

What I noticed was that menu online as well as the recent menus uploaded on Yelp and Google was different from what I saw in person. I have posted the updated menu, but it may change again. My favorite Mediterranean restaurant is located in Austin called Aba. I was hoping to find the perfect Mediterranean restaurant in Dallas. I had really high expectations as it looked like a high end restaurant and it's located in Legacy West. Food (2/5): - Mezza Trio: The hummus was lacking flavor, the zaalouk was decent, and muhammara was below average. There was more dips given than the pita bread. It was very underwhelming. - Harissa roasted half chicken: I love harissa paste. However, this dish made me rethink if I actually like it or not. The vegetable rice tasted much better than the actual chicken itself. The chicken tasted too much like chicken, if that makes sense (if you get it, you get it). The dish tasted like chicken with harissa paste, not harissa chicken. To make that sentence make more sense, There's times where you cook and the flavors tie all in together. However, if you don't cook it right, it just tastes like chicken by itself with a side of seasoning and broth. It doesn't mesh together. Based off of other reviews, it is possible that this isn't how the dish usually is as the food seems to be made in an inconsistent pattern. Service: We were welcomed by two men, one that possibly appeared to be the owner-he was wearing a chef coat-he was extremely sweet and welcoming. Our server was good, she checked up on us a lot. Ambiance: Nice and spacious. We went around 4:45 PM and they changed the interior lighting into a dimmer setting. It a good ambiance. read more

I have been to Darna twice. Once for a meal and another time for a happy hour. I had good service both times. The decor is nicely themed and is restaurant appears clean. I greatly enjoyed the appetizers: goat cheese and harrissa borek and spiced lamb cigars. I hadn't had many other similar items and both were super flavorful and tasty. The feta dip was unique, but I preferred the hummus & Muhammara. The reason I take off a star is that I was surprised to see a pita charge when we had a half a serving of dip left, the server asked if we wanted extra pita and didn't mention we would be charged. If I had known, I would've opted out and taken the dip to-go. In my experience, extra pita with remaining dip is free. Now I know... read more
