Darna Middle Eastern Kitchen

Hummus

Classic Lebanese-style hummus — silky, well-seasoned, and finished with a pool of olive oil; the version here is consistently cited as a standout in the city

Falafel

Crispy-edged, herb-flecked falafel with a moist, bright-green interior — the kind that make frozen supermarket versions feel like a different food entirely

Baba Ghanoush

Smoky roasted eggplant dip with a proper char note that lifts it above the generic — a reliable companion to warm pita

Fattoush

Fresh and acidic salad with toasted pita chips and sumac — cuts through the richness of the dip-heavy spread

Grilled kebabs

Well-spiced ground or cubed meat kebabs — the seasoning is careful and the char from the grill comes through without drying the meat out

Shawarma plate

Slow-rotisserie meat served as a full plate with rice and accompaniments — the house-made garlic sauce is the detail worth asking about

Mezze platter

A curated spread of dips, pickles, and small bites — the best way to taste the kitchen's range on a first visit
