Got a falafel platter - 22 falafel plus hummus and pickles and turnips along with tahini sauce. The hummus was freshly made! Could hear the blender going in background!!! Amazing falafels - actually given more than was expected. Hot out of the fryer. The hummus was smooth and tasty. They also have falafel wraps. Extremely fair pricing! Only disadvantage is it's a bit out of the way if you live in peninsular Halifax! Highly highly recommend!!!

Not much meat and the veggies/pickles they give are a little random. BUT, everything else we got was really good, especially the babagannosh and puffed up pita! That was definitely my favorite dish. I could eat a whole bowl of it! The tomato and peach salad, and broccolini sides we got were also very good! Service was a bit slow and they got my order wrong but was quick to fix it. I would definitely come here again, but try the skewers instead of the bowl or pita.

Darya's brunch buffet used to be one of the best dining deals in Halifax. It was a genuine standout…read morethat included a generous spread of high-quality Mediterranean dishes, all at a price point that made it feel like a treat without the guilt. We were regulars, and for good reason, sometimes going every week. ...but that's what makes the recent changes so disappointing. The buffet price has jumped from $35 to $42 per person (about a 20% increase) and yet somehow the offerings have gone in the opposite direction. The number of dishes on the buffet has been reduced, and most of the accompanying sauces have been quietly cut back or eliminated altogether. The toum, in particular, used to be a highlight (garlicky, creamy, and addictive) and its absence is genuinely felt. Now, two people are now easily spending $100+ for what is demonstrably less food than before. Since tax and tips are calculated as a percentage of overall spend, you end up paying quite a bit more per person than what you did a few months ago. The food that remains is still good. Darya's kitchen hasn't lost its touch, and the quality of the Mediterranean cooking is evident. And of course, the views are spectacular. But value is about the whole equation, and right now that equation doesn't balance. Paying more for less, especially when the "less" includes things you loved, is a hard sell. We probably won't be back again, at least for a long time . Here's hoping they reconsider and restore what made this special for everyone, locals as well as seasonal tourists, in the first place.
