Darna Mixed Appetizer
Kelly T.

I saw this place on IG and knew I had to give it a try. The restaurant is bright, and they make good use of the space. The service, admittedly, is a tad slow, but it didn't take away from the meal at all. If you don't know where to start, I highly recommend the Darna Mixed Appetizer. It came with so much, we were stuffed. Tasty grape leaves. Multiple dips that were all wonderful. The best tabbouleh I have ever had. Kibbe that is out of this world. Their lentil soup is absolutely amazing too! I had so many appetizers, I had no room for a meal. This place has easily taken over as my favorite restaurant in the area!

Service, ambiance, and food are FANTASTIC! Great place for family! Lamb Ouzi was wonderful- say wallahi bro and don't get a shawarma here, I just recommend getting something nicer because there are so many places nearby to get shawarma- this place offers MORE! My wife loves the babganoush and tabbouleh here! Very classy humble family friendly Palestinian/Syrian vibes type of place! Go down the road 1 block and Bakdesh is the most wonderful ice cream and dessert restaurant! Bismillah! We love it

Such a wonderful place! This is definitely not your typical casual Tampa restaurant. The décor and ambiance are absolutely beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The service was exceptional, and Ghizlane made our experience truly memorable with her attentiveness and hospitality. The food was outstanding--delicious, flavorful, and tasted like authentic home cooking at its finest. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a beautiful dining atmosphere! ::: For a Google review, I'd rate this a strong 5-star review.

Hummus
Zaid N.

Great spot in temple terrace for a family gathering. Ordered hummus muhammara and the mix grill for 6. Great food and decent service overall. Would enjoy coming back and trying other places

Pita and pickles /dip that comes with every meal! The pita was so good!
Carrie S.

There is a great ambiance and light to this restaurant. You feel the pride they have in their food and service is great! The baba ganough and hummus were delicious. The kids meal of fries and chicken strips was huge and the kids were happy! I ordered the half chicken with salad and fries- the chicken was really flavorful! The salad needed a little more acidity but also good. My husband ordered the mendi and didn't love it ~ but said it was good just that he's enjoyed it more elsewhere and would try something else next time. All in all a great new addition!

Mansaf. With a bed of dreamy rice.
Andrea S.

This place was so good, my boyfriend and I loved it! I got the special of the day (mansaf) and it was absolutely incredible that it made me go out and buy spices just to recreate it at home one day. The lamb literally fell off the bone. And the rice was creamy and dreamy. My boyfriend got chicken shawarma and said it was fantastic. We came in on a busy Saturday night around 8pm and we were greeted right away. The service was fast and our server was so sweet taking our order and giving us recommendations. I can't wait to come back and bring my family here. Also the artwork on the wall was beautiful.

I need the contact information for whoever is in charge of the pizza section. Specifically, the…read morepepperoni pizza. That pizza is TOP TIER. At this point, I literally come here just for the pizza. I don't know what kind of spell y'all are casting on these slices, but I'm getting a little tired of paying $50 just to satisfy a pizza addiction I did not ask for. Please give the chef a raise...or give me the recipe. Either works. Also, while I have your attention: can we get some more seafood options? I can't survive on pepperoni pizza alone. Well, I can, but I shouldn't. Thanks.

Please do not spend your money here…read more I came with my girlfriend to this buffet under the impression that the food was going to be immaculate just off the photos, I spent 85 dollars between for the both of us, they had a wide variety of food from international to American and to be fair the presentation was very nice looking, but that's where it ended, a few things to expect, your server will not be attentive to you, I had to ask for my server to get my drinks and we didn't get a refill until the end of our experience when I had to ask again, the food was incredibly mediocre, objectively speaking most of the meat was flavorless with no seasonings, ribs were dry and dusty, fish was completely missing any seasonings what so ever, everything tasted cheap and soulless, I tried just about everything and almost every time i left my plate full of food, I genuinely could not believe how mediocre everything was for being such a nice looking buffet, I asked around and the sentiment held true for everyone else I asked, I'm writing this two hours after leaving, to make things worse me and my girlfriend had to throw up the second we got home most probably from the crawfish they had sitting out there, I regret coming here and eating and I recommend anyone to consider eating somewhere else, I don't write reviews ever but I had to because of how unbelievably let down I am from this, I am angry but most of all disappointed that I came here

Wow! Duff's Buffet was SO good! Everything was hot and tasted like down-home cooking. The fried…read moregreen tomatoes were to die for, the prime rib and ham were delicious, and the dessert selection--including all the pies and ice cream--was great! The salad bar was fresh and crisp, with an amazing selection of toppings. You could even make your own tacos and fajitas! I paid only $21 and change for all-you-can-eat plus a Coke. I was absolutely stuffed! Our server was AMAZING. He kept up with everything even though they were busy, clearing plates quickly and bringing refills before I even had to ask. Don't forget to tip your servers--they work hard! The only thing I didn't love was the fried chicken--it had a slight fish taste, possibly from the fryer oil. But honestly, that's the only negative I could find. I'll definitely be back! It truly felt like home.

Unfortunately, our overall experience was disappointing. The food was very bland, and my chicken…read morewas still pink uncooked inside. We had to add salt to nearly everything. The greens contained far too many onions, and the corn was sticky and lacked flavor. The atmosphere also felt uncomfortable. While I was waiting for my partner near the restroom, the manager came out and commented that she could wash her hands somewhere else, even though two sinks were available and I was not blocking anyone. My partner is a masculine-presenting woman, and the interaction made us question whether that influenced the way we were treated. Regardless of the reason, the comment felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Between the food quality and the uncomfortable interaction with management, we did not have a positive experience.
