LEVANT DELIGHT — Restaurant in Malden

See my first review below. I am back again for dining in, and want to mention that the food was again absolutely delicious and so delightfully fresh. My husband joined me this time, and he again got the mixed grill. He said it was really good. I spoke with the owner about catering and he was very accommodating, saying he could make a good number of vegetarian options which we need for family members who do not eat meat. I look forward to ordering catering services for our next family gathering, and will let you know how that goes in my next review. Based on my experiences so far, I am sure we will be rubbing our bellies and declaring the baba ganoush to be the best ever yet again!

First time experience here - stopped in to grab something quick. Just got the chicken calaya appetizer to go. It was absolutely delicious. Generous portion, savory and succulent. It was so good I went back later that day to get some vegetarian options for my daughter and something for my meat-loving husband. The person helping me was so friendly and helpful, suggesting various dishes. The ambience is also very pleasant with relaxing music playing, clean and nice surroundings. My daughter was raving about the Eggplant Fatah . The Lebanese style Tabouleh was super fresh and excellent, the Eggplant Moutabal was outstanding - bursting with flavour, good texture - and the Grape Leaves were also very good. The mixed grill looked mouth-wateringly delicious, but I have not gotten the report from my husband yet on how it was! Thanks for excellent food and great ambience. Hope to visit soon for a...

Upon entering, the aroma of exotic spices and freshly baked bread wafts through the air, awakening your senses and igniting your appetite. The décor is a fusion of modern elegance and traditional charm, with intricately designed carpets adorning the floors and soft, ambient lighting casting a golden glow over the space.But it is the menu that truly steals the show. Bursting with an array of authentic Middle Eastern dishes, each offering is a masterpiece crafted with precision and passion. Begin your culinary adventure with an assortment of mezes, from creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush to crispy falafel and tangy tabbouleh, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness.

Indulge in tender lamb kebabs, succulent shawarma, or fragrant tagines, each dish a symphony of spices and textures that dance on your palate. No Middle Eastern feast would be complete without a sweet finale, and DARNA certainly delivers on that front. From decadent kunafa dripping with honey and nuts to creamy, rose-scented rice pudding, each dessert is a celebration of indulgence...

Catered a complete dinner with dessert for a 70 guest engagement from this place. The owner was very cooperative and helpful. He arranged for delivery and worked with us on the menu. The food was outstanding! Great flavors! This food is authentic! It is like eating in one of the best restaurants or homes of the Levant/ Middle East. The amounts were very generous. The lamb and chicken were cooked to perfection. The grilled selection was popular with guests as well. It was one of the best dinners! Definitely going back. Many guests asked where the food was catered from, and it was a diverse group of guests with kids and they all found something they loved and enjoyed. It was a pleasure dealing with the owner and would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat Levantine...
