    The food was very tasty and very good value. Our waiter Sonny was lovely. The only comment is that we could have used a little more service in terms of more drinks .

    Excellent service! Beautiful views. Food was outstanding. They have a very extensive gluten free menu, and they took great care to ensure my food was safe. They even brought out separate sauces for me. We will definitely be back.

    We were very keen on trying the brunch buffet at Darya but we were unfortunately underwhelmed with our experience. Given the price we were expecting the buffet to be replenished more frequently. They seemed to run of of staples like bread & dips. Another main protein besides lamb would have been good for those who don’t eat lamb. The food that we had was tasty. The server was not very attentive and we had to ask several times for drinks and even when we tried to get his attention he would ignore us. Previous dinner experiences were wonderful but we will not be back for the brunch again.

    Food was amazing! Ordered the mimosa tree and couldn't taste the alcohol in them. Tasted very sweet and syrupy.
    DaryaResponded 7 days ago
    Hey Candice, thanks for coming in! I'm so glad you enjoyed your meal. The mimosas on the tree are more juice forward; I'd recommend ordering individually next time for a more alcohol forward drink as they contain double the bubbles! I very much appreciate the feedback and hope we see you again soon :)

    Darya is becoming our favourite restaurant. Had the lamb burger for Burger Bash. It was delightful! So many good flavours and just enough sauce…wish they would add this to their main menu. We have also had the brunch buffet here and loved it. 😍 Great mimosas! We will be back soon.

    Hi Kara! Wow, what kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed your meal! You'll have to check back soon to see what we do with the burger and mimosa flavours :)

    My friend and I went for the Sunday brunch buffet, and it more then exceeded our expectations. Seating was intimate and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the Halifax Harbor. Our server was prompt, attentive and helpful. Now, to the good stuff... oh my goodness! Simply put, the best brunch buffet I've ever had. Between the bite size latkes and garlic sauce, to the poached eggs in a delicious tomato base, to the smoked salmon - it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully displayed. 10/10 would recommend.
