They were big, hearty chunks of meat that stayed juicy and tender, never dry. My top favorite was the babaganoush. This eggplant dip wasn't too sour, wasn't too salty, and that smoky undertone made it absolutely irresistible. We also ordered the Maklubk, a traditional dish featuring a fried half chicken served over a generous mound of rice. The chicken had beautifully crispy skin and well-seasoned. The rice was impressive-soft and aromatic, layered with eggplant, cauliflower, onion and potato. Truly unique. Portions were generous. We walked out with two boxes of leftovers. The service was good and the dining area was clean and comfortable. The dishes took about 25 minutes to arrive. But once the food hit the table, it was clear the kitchen wasn't cutting corners. The chef took his/her time, and it showed in every bite. We had a genuinely enjoyable experience here.

You may need patience to wait for the meat to be grilled. I got the 5 pieces lamb chop. The chop are like the t bone section about 1 inches thick. The seasoning is very flavorful. The style is almost like blackened but yet is not blackened. Meat is tender and lovely. The two side I have are Arabic salad and grill veggies. I also have smoke rice. In their menu has some authentic dish. This dish are Maqluba, Arabic biryani, oven roast lamb and chicken. Those are the items I may try next time.

You be the judge...we went from some very good food to ordinary in just a few days. I'm not sure if…read morethe inconsistency was a fluke or we started high but then disappointed having had greater expectations. We tried them out at the Tampa International Food Festival at Water Works Park and can honestly say that the lamb skewers and chicken wings were great! The falafel were small and dry, but the rest was wonderful. They were grilled over a portable charcoal grill and the flavor was on point. It was a 4 star. So we had to try them out at the restaurant. Fast forward a week and we went to their bricks and mortar location after being reminded by an online ad. Use the address as the front had a different sign and definitely a rustic look. We did an online order via their Google Menufy link. The Family Meal was for 4 and included 4 types of skewers plus a choice of sides. While it wasn't ready and we had to wait, they offered us a drink. Once ready, I'm glad I checked since the desserts paid online weren't available and I expected a refund but didn't see it. So getting back to the food...it looked like kubbideh, ground chicken, chicken and steak/beef with a choice of 3 sides. We chose rice (abundant portion), grilled veggies (skimpy) that were ok but not great. So what happened to the spice and seasoning that I had last week? Ground chicken was better of the bunch. The highlight was the side of babaganoush with the pita bread!! And the homemade yogurt was meh. So this was really more a 3 star meal. I'll round up my 3.5 to give ''em a chance. But give me more of the babaganoush and get me some lamb and wings. Next time I'll need to be more discerning with my order. Again, you decide for yourself. Enjoy!

They have also changed chefs so it became NOT quite a fav, BUT anyway at Darna's everything takes homemade, fresh and DELICIOUS! I think the rice and lamb was my fav for sure!

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!

We picked up the food from the restaurant in 20 minutes. The smell of the food was great and it raised our hopes for great and delicious food. We ate at home. It smell really good, but the taste was a bit lacking, it was like it needed some more seasoning. So, I would say, the food was okay, not great.

Celebrated the last kid obtaining their drivers license, sigh, where does the time go!?…read more New restaurant to us, but we wanted Mediterranean near to the DMV. Glad we went. Restaurant was clean, white table cloths, older decor and booths, but cute. Place was full of two large family groups celebrating the holidays together. Bathroom could use a better cleaning and update. We decided to get a small appetizer plate: Humus, Baba Ghanhuj, Falafel, Labneh, we opted for no grape leaves as we don't prefer them and got extra falafel instead. Portion was great. Our favorites were the Labneh absolutely delicious and perfect taste and texture, humus was seasoned perfectly and falafel was good, but I can't say it was amazing though, something was missing in taste to me. We also ordered the mixed meat entree, portion was large, no way I could have eaten it alone! We shared and still had left overs. The entree came with Kufta Kabob, beef shawarma, chicken kabobs, beef shish kabob, tzatziki, fattoush salad, pita, basmati rice. We had wanted a side of extra tzatziki but instead received a large side dish of tzatziki (we let it go, but neither of us truly enjoyed the tzatziki that much. It was bland to our liking). The one thing we absolutely did not like was the bland, no dressing fattoush salad. It literally had no dressing, no taste, not recommended at all, as the side. So here's what we did like a lot was the chicken kabobs, beef shawarma, basmati rice, beef shish kebabs, kufta kabobs, humus, and loved the Labneh on and with everything. The chicken kabobs were our favorite meat, tender, juicy, seasoned perfectly! We truly enjoyed and savored the Pistachio Baklava, so yummy for dessert! Overall we gave the place a 4 out of 5. We enjoyed our food, service was attentive and friendly. We had to downgrade from a 5 because we did not like the no dressing fattoush salad and the tzatziki tasted bland to us (we are used to the more Greek style). We will be back to try some other dishes!

It comes with lots of rice and a grilled tomato, but you get this yogurt cucumber mix to eat with the free pita bread.

Inside was nice and quiet, and there were quite a few people there. The decor was pretty neat. The place was hard to find with the Google Map App when you look for it on the iphone.
