Darna Mediterranean Eatery

From the ambiance to the entrees and service, Darna was very stunning.Hunter was amazing, along with anyone else we had spoken to there. I'm glad my trainer has recommended Darna many times. Upset too me so long to come by. Try the lambchops and a mixed drink from Hunter!

Spent a Tuesday night here with my family. The food is athletic and well made. It's a restaurant that certainly knows what it wants to be. Atmosphere of the dining room matches the rest of the direction of the restaurant.Service wasn't horrendous, but could have been a lot sharper. Our server looked a little flustered on the greet. My mother asked to order a few appetizers with the response of "uhh...sure". No pre-bussing our table. Couldn't find him when we needed our check. Low energy, no ambition to be above standard.

Darna is a Mediterranean style restaurant/ bakery/ restaurant located in a mixed use area of West Plano called Legacy West. I have been coming to this place for a while. I love the sidewalk seating area with a look and feel that is common in Europe and the middle east. The ambience is great for socializing, casual dining, or date night. One side of the bar opens to the streetside patio which adds the euro ambiance I mentioned above. They have some very good signature cocktails but the bar is otherwise limited in their selection of liquors. There has been quite a bit of turnover with bar staff during in the last couple of years. Nevertheless, although not always exceptional, service at the bar it is usually more than adequate.My food servers (when seated at a table) have all been knowledgeable and competent . I usually request one in particular (Nawar) that is very attentive and goes the extra mile. Entrees:-saffron chicken kabob: delicious -lamb chops: I didnt love it but I never was a fan of lamb-Grilled salmon: very goodCocktails: the "Mediterranean Mule" is pretty good, as is their "old fashioned "Desserts: their Kunafa is delicious but the bar's pairings with (and knowledge of) alcoholic aperitifs is lacking. Best to just have coffee with your dessert.

Was looking for a nice yet chill Mediterranean spot and this was it! The pita bread was pillowy and soft, it went amazingly well with the lamb hummus dip. The grilled salmon was ok, didn't have the appetite for the other menu items but will definitely come back to try more.

Darna has a very elegant ambiance from the get go and well done interiors. We were a party of 4 and ordered a darna platter, chicken picatta and their chicken skewer and saffron rice platter. The chicken piccata was a surprise and had a tangy sauce with capers. It was served on a plate of potatoes which melted in your mouth. The saffron rice was flavorful and the grilled vegetables paired with it were perfectly char broiled. Finally, the chicken skewer itself was extremely succulent! We loved the platter and the range of sauces received with it, so much that we ordered a second pita to finish up the dips. Definitely on the pricier end but you're paying for good food, service and ambiance.

Located in the shops at legacy, darna serves high quality, nutritious, and delicious dishes. I especially enjoyed my kebabs. I would definitely be back to try other menu items.

My friends arranged my birthday dinner there last night and their service was top notch. Everything we ordered was presented beautifully and all the servers were attentive and courteous. I'm comparing it to my recent birthday dinner at Uchiko across the street and things were definitely lagging in service there. Our hummus, muhammara, haloumi appetizers were delicious with the buttery soft pita breads sprinkled with zaatar. The anatole kebab and vegetarian kebab were top notch. I'll definitely return with friends and family.

The food was just amazing!!I ordered Darna platter, lamb chops along with Turkish Coffee Martini! I enjoyed my food seating outside

Date on a diet! The aesthetic of this place is cute & perfect for a date. The chicken skewer was good, they brought the chicken out on a grill stick & placed it on the plate nicely hot & fresh. The salad was not good at all, tastes like it still needed to be rinsed. I noticed people around me also left the salad alone. My favorite part was the desert! One of the best baklava's I've ever had! Service here was good, they came around often to check how everything is going. It's a good place to check out if you haven't already.

Can I give this more than 5 stars?!?! They have outdoor/indoor seating. Inside is cute, floral vines on the wall. During the day, it's bright and in the evening it's dimmer... no matter the time of day, the music is a uptempo blend of melodic beats that you can sip and bob your head to.The service is good, though, we did wait for the bill longer than we cared to... and this would matter more if the food and drink missed the mark.I had the pleasure of enjoying their hummus and pita bread. The hummus is nicely flavored and the pita is so soft and pillowy, perfect for pulling apart and lapping up the smooth, tasty, hummus! I'm a fan of spicy margaritas and this one Did.Not.Disappoint! I always get a little nervous about how sweet a drink might be, but this one was perfect! The blend of sweet, savory, spicy with a little bit of fizzy makes this a liquid delight! I don't get excited about alcohol, but this drink here is my favorite! Yep, I said it! Now to find a place that can top that!On to the entree-- Saffron Chicken Kebob. It comes with basmati rice, grilled vegetables, pickled veggies, tahini, harissa, cilantro sauce and muhammara pita bread.Everything is delicious, but the harissa is a connector!! It's mild and yet flavorful-- crazy how the flavors all explode in my mouth and all I could think of was how juicy, delicious, and dramatic this dish is! It literally commanded my taste buds to attention, so much so that I told my friend that we HAVE to go back! So yeah, we went Monday and here we are Friday... guess where I just left?!? You guessed correct Darna! This place can create a dangerous obsession! You've been warned... but take that warning with a grain of salt as THIS place is a 10/10 - HIGHLY recommend!
