Darna Mediterranean Cuisine

The atmosphere is beautiful yet cozy. The service is 100% perfect, and the food is authentic and delicious. People obviously enjoyed it but not too crowded and very spacious. You don’t feel like you’re dodging a million people and that contributes to the comfortable vibe, definitely something that’s been lacking in Austin. Reasonable prices too! Love it and intend to be a repeat customer.

My first time here, love this place! The decor is so pretty. Food was excellent. We are vegetarians, and they have quite a few options. They have coffee too, including Turkish coffee. If you’ve never had it & like trying unique coffee, get yourself one. We’ll definitely be back. Also, the pita is made in house!

I visited Darna's with a group (my family) and we had a fabulous time here. The food was authentic with amazing flavors and freshly made. The interior was tastefully decorated and you felt like you were literally having a meal in Morocco. The owner, Ghizlane came and talked to us. You could hear the passion she has for cooking and hospitality when you speak to her. She was friendly and very accommodating and was open for feedback. I loved the fact she was very concerned about people's food preferences and their dietary requirements. She had even gone to length of creating a special rice bowl dish for this purpose. This was one of the best places I have visited for Mediterranean food in the US. I have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone living or visiting in Austin. Another plus is it's a BYOB restaurant. I enjoyed all the dishes as you can taste the authentic Moroccan spices. Due to the size of our group, we were able to try many dishes out, a few of my favorites were, Zaalouk (eggplant), Moroccan Olives, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Darna Mixed Grill, Spicy Chicken & Olive Tagine, Chicken Lemon Tagine and Lamb Tagine with Prunes, Kofta Tagine, Fish Tagine and Couscous. We finished our meal with some Moroccan cookies (perfect in sweetness) along with some Turkish coffee. Highly recommend this place for those who love to try authentic food with a great ambiance. Loved the fact the owner took pride in great service along with warm hospitality. Thank you for an amazing experience at your place. Look forward to visiting Darna again when I am in Austin.
