Darna Mediterranean Market

Wow. My new favorite in DFW. Especially for someone who likes lamb! Everything tasted fresh and very flavorful. Served hot and with attractive plating. I had recently been to Morocco where I enjoyed authentic couscous. Very impressed with Darna's lamb couscous. It was the kind I prefer - sweet with apricots and cinnamon. The meat was so tender! The Chicken Tvouk was delightfully soft and seasoned excellently. You can tell the chef is passionate about what he does. We ordered the lamb hummus for apps. Again, satisfying! I'd advise going easy on it though as that with the freshly baked bread can fill you up! The pomegranate beverages were refreshing. The ambience was quite chic and open in view of the kitchen and market area. The positioning of the restaurant could get confusing. Let me assure you, it's a legit restaurant with proper meals. The market is a nice added touch. Service was very friendly. I am confident they will improve on the few areas like routine check ups (they seemed new but experience will help) and marketing their business more on the restaurant aspect. Seating is just about adequate but could get full soon. It's a mix of indoor tables, high tables, bar seats and outdoor seating. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Will definitely return! I hope Darna maintains its high standards of quality and flavor. (Something most restaurants in DFW lack post-pandemic)

We were visiting Dallas and decided to check out this restaurant which was walking proximity to the hotel. If I had to describe in one word I would say fresh. The food was absolutely the best. As you wait they provide you with a basket of bread and pita bread with olive oil/zatar mix. The pita was warm and tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. I got the lamb kabobs and my husband the half chicken and risotto. Everything turned out so flavorful and exquisite. The kanafa cheesecake was divine and a must try. The restaurants decor was quirky. The customer service was also great. I will definitely be making another trip just for this food.

Outstanding! Best kabobs I've had, full stop. The service was great and the ambiance was cool. If I had a wee bit of a complaint is that they say us at these bar tables were we barely had any space. I think the server could have been more attentive to remove empty plates. Not sure if they take reservations, but if they do, I'll make sure to ask for a normal table.
Nonetheless, we'll be back!

Pretty solid spot! Our server was great and very attentive. Chicken kebabs & apricot panna cotta were our favorites. Super soft and flavorful chicken & veggies. We plan to try the salmon & maybe rigatoni next time. Lamb chops & baklava were just ok - skip on those. We shared the sampler app ($20), 2-3 drinks, 2 entrees & 2 desserts (also got 2 desserts to go). Was $90/person after tax.

Delicious flavors of all the food I tried. The beef/lamb skewers were very tasty and filling. The bread tasted fresh. The salmon was generously seasoned and cooked perfectly. The feta fondue was my personal favorite from our dining experience. I would definitely ask for Ryan to serve/host you when you eat here.
