Beef, chicken and salmon

Great dinner with delicious meats, rice, sides and drinks! Ambiance is friendly and spacious for big parties . Service was great and welcoming! I will come back again.

My fiancé and I love this restaurant! The service is incredible! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The food is also very good. We love the romantic and peaceful ambience of this place. We usually go on a week night. If you come by, you have to try the pineapple saffron martini. It's my favorite drink on their menu!

Love this place! You can't go wrong with Persian food and Darya Orange is the best spot for it. I don't think I've ever had such succulent chicken in my life. Very flavorful and fragrant. The accompanying rice and salad are perfectly matched with the protein. Ambience is elegant and traditional, and the service is friendly and hospitable. Overall, it's a memorable dining experience and worth every bite!

Came here for my birthday and LOVED it. Their workers are super sweet and welcoming which was a great start to the night. We ordered the Shirazi salad and hummus to start. For meat we got beef, lamb, and chicken koobideh. We had pickles and rice and veggies which paired so well with everything. The meat was so juicy and the rice was perfect texture. Absolutely loved it! No valet parking

Darya has been on my list, though the one in LA, not here. I visited on Father's Day in the afternoon, and there were many tables dining in. Amongst our friend group of young adults, one of the funniest recounts was how the staff member only said Happy Father's Day to one individual and not the rest of us - whom were coincidentally not celebrating, though we did not know til later. One of us came for juicy chicken, and we were initially disappointed to hear that they had a special Father's Day menu which did not include that. We instead ordered off the condensed menu menu for items like dough, lamb / beef kabobs, etc. We had their borani and yogurt based dip and a pitcher of dough to start off, and since that order, service was nonexistent unless we actively flagged someone down - including water refills. Once all of our entrees arrived, we all agreed that it was not impressive or normal; most of the meats were dry and very bland, which is unlike the Persian food that any of us had eaten - and we have had quite a bit before. The flavor and experience were something that not even sumac could've fixed. Was it perhaps that none of us were Persian that we were barely checked on and had to actively ask for everything? Or perhaps this was an off day - but no Father's Day? These questions may remain unanswered, but we all know which Persian restaurant to call a regular, and it's not this one.

Soltani

We had a wonderful experience at Darya Restaurant. We started with mast-o-moosir and tahdig topped with ghormeh sabzi and gheymeh--every bite was comforting and perfectly cooked. They also brought out freshly baked bread with butter to start, which was a great touch. For the main course, we ordered the fesenjoon and the soltani kabob. The fesenjoon was outstanding--hands down my favorite I've ever had. Rich, perfectly balanced, and unforgettable. The soltani kabob was also excellent, cooked just right and very flavorful. Everything we tried was delicious, the staff was very friendly, and the service was great from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're craving quality Persian food.

I've been coming to Darya since I was a kid, and it's still one of my all-time favorite spots. As someone with a Persian grandma who's an amazing cook, I grew up around great Persian food, and this place definitely holds its own. Every time we're in the area, it's a must-visit. We've brought friends and family here over the years, and without fail, they fall in love with it too. The food is consistently delicious, the service is always warm and attentive, and the ambiance is elegant yet welcoming. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night, you're in for a treat with live music and belly dancing, it adds such a fun, lively energy to the evening. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting an authentic and memorable Persian dining experience.

Crispy rice Tadig
Amy S.

Been coming to this restaurant for years. Love the menu! The servers are so friendly and nice. The food is incredible. The Fesenjān is my favorite! So tasty and the crispy rice is a great addition. The filet mignon kabobs are another great item. Highly recommend but other items in menu for lunch are wonderful.

Every time I come to this Darya, I am always greeted and promptly seated. Service is always excellent from the entire staff. Every dish I order at Darya is always delicious and juicy. The Chicken Koobideh, Kashke Bademjan, Chicken Barg, Shirazi Salad and Tadiq with Fesenjon are my favorites. The meat has so much flavor, it is juicy and tender. The Bread comes out fresh and hot from the bread oven. And ending my meal with a glass of hot Persian Tea. I found another great Persian restaurant in the area. Thank you Dayra Restaurant!

I messaged you twice, with no response. Most wouldn't go through this much trouble to avoid giving one star. I have spent thousands with you over the years, and gave you 5 stars. Is it going to take me changing it to 1 star to get a response?

The food was delicious, the service was phenomenal, and every detail was handled with such care and professionalism. While many people may think of this venue for weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, or baby showers, what truly sets them apart is their compassion. Rose and her team were so kind, gracious, and understanding during one of the most difficult times in my life, and that meant more to my family than I can put into words. They didn't just host an event -- they created a beautiful, meaningful gathering that honored my mother in the most lovely way.

They also have a photo booth which we and our guests (we ended up with 90 total) loved! The night went so smoothly (they went above and beyond by improvising a tie breaker for our shoe game with a twist, wrapping our tossing bouquet in flower tape last-minute, and letting us borrow items like a card box and dessert stands/cutlery. Our 6-week coordinator Jamie was an absolute superstar in helping us iron out those last little details, and she was a total sweetheart in all our meetings and text exchanges (she even sent us pictures she took at our wedding a few days later via text). Highly recommend La Petite Rose for throwing a wonderful event!

I recently captured a wedding here, and it is a premier choice for couples who want their wedding to feel elevated, modern, and distinct. What makes this venue so special for photography is the seamless blend of historic charm and high-end modern upgrades. The restoration is stunning--you get the soul of a historic property but with a polished, eclectic aesthetic that feels incredibly refreshing and fun to experience for your stay or guest experience. From the rich textures in the getting-ready room and bridal makeup suites, to the sun-soaked courtyard, their grand staircase for a private moment, along with their cocktail lounge, every corner is a curated backdrop that lends itself to a sophisticated and nostalgic environment. The event and venue team are true professionals who understand the flow of a high-end event, while balancing exceptional hospitality for wedding weekend stays. Their attention to detail allows the couple to remain present, which is essential for me to capture those raw, documentary moments and artistic, "in-between" shots during the wedding day. For engaged couples who view their wedding as a special investment, and want a venue that feels like a boutique editorial set that truly speaks for itself, The Richland is totally unmatched in Orange County. I'm already looking forward to my next wedding weekend here with another amazing couple!

The venue itself is beautiful, especially the outdoor patio--it gave guests plenty of room to roam and created a relaxed, open atmosphere during the ceremony. The venue provides bartending staff, catering vendors, and what appeared to be a party coordinator. While the catering was outstanding--the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly and attentive, offering a variety of authentic Mexican dishes--the bartending experience left much to be desired. The bartenders came across as standoffish and unwelcoming, which discouraged many guests, including myself, from returning for another drink. The coordinator seemed a bit overwhelmed but was clearly making an effort to keep things on track and honor the wedding traditions. Overall, this is a nice venue with great potential.
