Darna Mediterranean is an absolute gem in Olathe. The moment you walk in, you get the feeling that…read morethis is more than just another restaurant- it genuinely feels like someone opened the doors to their home and invited you in. The food is outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The portions are generous, the presentation is excellent, and there is a depth of flavor that you simply don't get from typical fast-casual Mediterranean spots. Even the fries I had with my gyro were worth writing home about What really sets Darna apart, though, is the hospitality. The staff are welcoming, attentive, caring, and genuinely helpful. You can tell there is real care and attention behind everything they serve. If you're anywhere around Olathe or the Kansas City area and you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food that tastes homemade rather than mass-produced, put Darna on your list. Fresh food. Incredible flavor. Generous portions. Genuine hospitality. Absolutely deserving of five stars. I will definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu

I had a shortstack, sausage & eggs. The birthday boy had the protein plate, with a biscuit. He says he knows that ruined it being a protein plate but it's what he wanted. The service was good and the TREX store fun. We also visited the antique mall across the street, which was pretty cool. The pancakes were to die for. I only eat them a couple times a year so this place will stay on the list for good ones. It wasn't too loud so you could have a conversation and the booths were comfy. Clean, well run establishment with a nice place to use the necessary. Those of us ladies of a certain age can appreciate those things. Overall, it was a good experience and I'll definitely return.

The pancakes are huge My one wish that I will never understand why it's not a common entree on a breakfast menu - I just want a dish that has pancakes, meat (bacon/sausage) and eggs. I don't want to have to order one of those items ala carte, but so be it - it was still good. However the egg whites were definitely not for the extra that I paid - it barely seemed like one egg's whites let alone the two I paid for. Not gonna lie though, I will probably be back

We have been visiting Popi's about weekly now since the first review. They have consistently been…read moreattentive, responsive, caring, and clean. Our visits recently have been on June 2, 9, 15, 22, 29 and so far July 8, 11. That is a testament to their delicious food, ample servings, and friendly personnel. For servers, on most days we have had Angelica, a couple times we have had different servers and have been good as well. Our selections have become pretty regular meaning we have been pretty much ordering the same thing as we enjoy them so much. I get the Fajitas Popi's ($20.25) which includes meats of chicken, beef, chorizo, and shrimp. It always comes out sizzling with a protector pad on the handle to prevent burning. An example of the quantity of meat included are 6 jumbo shrimp or 8 large shrimp in the mix and about 3 tablespoons of chorizo, as well as a nice complement of chicken and beef. It seems like at least five to six ounces of each. Vegetables include grilled and sliced bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. My wife gets the Chicken Fajitas ($18.25) which includes a very nice amount of sliced chicken (seems like about at least 1/2 pound), as well as the grilled peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Each fajita platter comes with a second plate that includes beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, lettuce. In addition, 3 foil wrapped tortillas are provided wrapped in foil to keep them to and moist, choice of flour or corn. As mentioned, the food quantity is very good, especially for a single serving. My Fajitas Popi's had twice as much meat and vegetables on it for a single serving than we received at a restaurant on a trip that was supposedly a serving for two. Popi's definitely gives great bang for the money! It has been sufficient for us to take home half of each of our platters to eat at home for a meal another day, and it is all still very tasty and moist. We can hear the clattering of the knives and necessary utensils, and the sizzle of the food, to make freshly cooked fajitas. The sound and the ultimate taste is obvious. Freshly made tortilla chips are served in a basket, as well as a very nicely seasoned (mildly spicy) salsa served in a bottle with small bowls provided upon seating, and free refills of both are provided throughout. The chips are nice and light, not heavily salted, and have retained their crispiness even a couple days later at home (we place them in a sealed bowl when we get home). We can barely get bagged chips to stay crisp that long after opening a bag, so we really enjoy Popi's chips. Besides the menu on the website, they have a different special each day that is written on a marker board on the wall immediately across from the door so easily seen upon entering. One day may be enchiladas, another a burrito, and so on. Tuesday is tacos as mentioned in my previous post. As for menu items, so far we have had the Fajitas Popi's, Chicken Fajitas, Steak Fajitas, and Burritos. All have been excellent, seem to be freshly made, and would order them again. We hope to try some other items in the future but can state the fajitas and burritos are definitely good, and a great value for the money. Every once in awhile Popi has a few moments to come out to check on things. He is friendly, smiles, says hello, and is not intrusive but seems to enjoy seeing people enjoying his preparations. I hope to remember to take photos of some of these items to provide a visual of the items. Sorry, I am not a big photo person, even of myself, so my goal is to enjoy the food I am at a place for. In the meantime, if you want Mexican that is fresh and properly made, Popi's is a place to definitely consider.

Saturday nights..... singing Elvis impersonator, i was unaware Saturday nights was this event, the…read morearea where this person singing is the size of a living room and we have the volume up and singing like we're play at AT&T stadium. You're unable to talk, you have to point to the item or items on the menu to your server so they know what you want to eat and drink. Again I was unaware of this Saturday night event and obviously certain people enjoy it and that's great but if you're coming here on a Saturday to try and to have conversation with out using sign language and pointing to items on menu because your server can't hear you then don't come here on a Saturday night. I think we got here around 6pm and he was still going at 8pm so I don't know what time he stops. The food was good. The Elvis singer in my opinion singing in a living room size room with the volume set like he was singing in a stadium not my cup of tea. Again this is just my opinion so I know not to go to this restaurant on a Saturday night.
