We had such a wonderful dining experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served generously.

The grilled chicken with rice was perfectly seasoned and juicy, with a nice charred flavor that paired beautifully with the fluffy rice. The chicken shawarma with hummus was outstanding — tender, well-spiced meat over smooth and creamy hummus. The French fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned just right, and the side of pickles added a great tangy bite.

The drinks (we tried the fresh mint lemonade) were super refreshing and balanced, not too sweet, and perfect alongside the grilled dishes. Portions were big enough to share, and everything tasted authentic and home-cooked.

On top of that, Hagar, she’s very sweet! the staff was attentive and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was quick despite being a busy night. they’re the bestt!❤️

If you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean food with great hospitality, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommend and definitely coming back.

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but everything was disappointing. The food lacked flavor the chicken was plain, the salad had no taste, and the rice tasted like water. Nothing about the meal stood out or felt fresh. Sadly, I wouldn’t go back.

Food is great!! Service is good, but it’s very loud and noisy there, and their tables, chairs, and tableware are all old.

I visited this place yesterday and had a wonderful time. To start off, we ordered a fresh appetizer salad that was light and refreshing. Along with that, we enjoyed some flavorful falafel served with warm, soft pita bread a delicious combination that made for a great start to the meal.

For the main course, we decided to try the lamb chops and chicken chops, both of which were cooked to perfection. The chicken chops came with a generous serving of rice, adding a hearty touch to the dish.

To complete the experience, we also ordered a hookah, which added to the relaxed and enjoyable ambiance of the evening. The atmosphere of the place was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a good meal with company.

Overall, it was a satisfying visit with good food and a pleasant vibe.

The first time I tried the restaurant in Ramadan, the menu was a buffet of various fresh dishes, and the place in general was clean, tidy and beautiful. Regarding the food, it was delicious and fresh. As for the price for an adult, it is $45 and for a child aged 4 and above, it is $25. There is a very simple note regarding the parking spaces. It took about 15 minutes to get a parking space. This is the only thing I suffered from, but the rest is excellent.

Ramadan open buffet is excellent and plenty of food. And soup and refreshments. Very satisfied with the price too. When we come anyway other time not in Ramadan our usual order is the grilled mixed plater with extra pieces of lamb chops( extra $4 per piece). It’s enough for 4 and we eat from it the second day too!!
Portions are excellent katafi with cheese was so good even better than the ones with nuts . But be careful of nut allergy because they Fry the cheese katafi and the nut katafi in the same oil..

They have a separate area for smoking shisha or hoka (smoke pipe) but I wouldn’t recommend sitting in that area because of second hand smoke. I don’t smoke but I have sat in that smile section and I do Not recommend sitting there. I couldn’t breathe

A huge restaurant, there are two zones, for smokers and not. Our table even had a socket for charging a phone. There were a lot of visitors, but we got there without a reservation on Saturday. I was also surprised by the fast service without any delays, despite the large number of visitors. The dishes were also excellent, the appetizers and the main course were all great. Unfortunately, there are no desserts here. Very tasty mint lemonade. The prices are reasonable. Of course, I will definitely come back here, and I recommend everyone to visit.

I recently visited Darna Restaurant along with a few of my friends and had a mixed experience. While the ambiance was pleasant, the food overall was underwhelming. Most dishes lacked flavor and didn’t meet expectations. However, the hummus was a standout — creamy, well-seasoned, and definitely the highlight of the meal. If I return, it would be mostly for it.

It was my first time eating Lebanese food and I loved it. The meat was seasoned well, the rice was nice and fluffy. Everything was flavorful and not salty I will definitely be back to try something else. We order a platter for 4 and had more than enough left over….
