I recently visited Darna Middle Eastern Kitchen and it completely exceeded my expectations. The lamb was absolutely outstanding — perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of rich, authentic flavour. You can tell the kitchen takes real care in how each dish is prepared, and the hospitality is amazing!

I’ve been wanting to try Middle Eastern cuisine for a long time, and this place did not disappoint. A friend recommended it, saying it’s truly authentic—and they were right. Our server was incredibly patient and helpful, taking time to explain the menu and giving us space to decide without any pressure. After we placed our orders, he even suggested wine pairings that complemented our dishes perfectly. We ended up staying for about two hours, enjoying a warm and flavorful dinner. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish!

Absolutely incredible food, and Nancy was an impeccable server. So kind, knowledgeable! She was serving the entire restaurant and doing bar and not one time did we feel rushed, or like we were waiting on anything. Highly recommend.

Went there for brunch/breakfast. Maybe brunch and breakfast isnt their forte. Our order had the halumi cheese, sujuk omlette and potato omlettes, beef shakshuka. They were ok. Other menu items looked good. Service was good.

Finding food in Canada that matches the quality back home in Jordan is rare, but Darna is truly amazing. The flavors are remarkably authentic and hit all the right notes for a traditional palate. The grilled chicken skewers were perfectly charred and juicy, while the lamb fukhara was rich, soulful, and deeply flavorful. Every dish felt incredibly fresh, and the portions were very generous. If you are looking for a genuine taste of the Levant, this is the place to go. Highly recommended.
