We had such an amazing meal at Darna. My daughter, who is generally very picky, said it was the best meal she had ever had, & she asked us to try to make more food like that at home. The service was also incredibly lovely, with several of the servers coming to explain things to us - such as the meaning of Amazigh, the term preferred over Berber - & helping us to decide what to order. Overall, we would come back here as often as we could if we didn't live so far away.

We went to celebrate a birthday & we were delighted that we had selected this exquisite restaurant!

Our server & guide, Eric, suggested we get a few plates to share & taste a greater variety. He recommended a few dishes based on our preferences.

We ordered the halloumi, oyster mushroom tagine, grilled asparagus & that evening's special was a grilled swordfish steak. The presentation, was excellent, the service attentive & the taste delicious. We loved most of it especially the mushroom tagine. Exquisite!

IMO the swordfish steak was bland & the pita was dry & unsalted. I still felt hungry after finishing I need more protein at my meals.

The decor was evocative of the Magreb & the Silk Road. The only detraction in the ambience was having the music too loud to converse with ease.

Café latté à la fleur d'oranger: un incontournable ! Tellement délicieux & différent !

Service attentionné & aimable. Nous étions avec ma belle-mère en fauteuil roulant. Lors de la réservation, nous l'avions mentionné. Ils nous ont fait une place pour qu'elle soit bien à l'aise.

Merci !

Déjà hâte d'y retourner !
