When you enter the splendor that is Darya Persian restaurant, it’s like walking into a tranquil oasis. A giant circular mural is a beautifully painted centerpiece, and it mirrors the chandeliers, and candlelight that give Darya such a calm and elegant demeanor. The staff are well dressed, professional, and wonderfully attentive. With such an exquisite atmosphere, you might expect sky prices, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised with a dinner menu that ranges from $9.95-19.95.

The menu is comprised of Persian dishes featuring chicken, beef, lamb, and seafood, along with a large list of reasonably priced appetizers and several fine vegetarian options. Fine dining is all about the adventure of trying new tastes and textures, right? Well take a tip from the Rant and try the Fesenjan, a traditional stew of chicken, walnuts, and pomegranates. It’s just about the ugliest dish you’ve ever seen, but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in spades with a tangy, surprising depth of taste that’s different from anything you’ve ever ordered. If you want to stick to something more familiar, the Boneless Chicken Kabobs or ground beef Koobideh are tasty and healthy. For desert the Zoobliah honey pastry is a nice finish to share.

With a parking lot out back, great service, a beautiful environment and food that will tickle your taste buds, Darya is sure to regular in your restaurant rotation. nvl.
