    It was terrific, the best lamb I have ever had. The front desk messed up however. I reserved for a party of four. We arrived separately and they didn’t recognize that we were in the same party and seated us at different tables. It took us 30 minutes before we realized this.

    I've been going to Darya for over 25 years. It never disappoints me. My father was Persian and I grew up with Persian food. It always reminds me of my father's cooking. I always make it a point to visit while I'm in town.

    The ambience of the restaurant was beautiful. The quality of the food was outstanding, but the highlight of the evening was our food server. She was the nicest and most accommodating person ever. I regret that I do not know her name, but I am going yo find out what it was, and recommend the restaurant give her a raise!
