Daarna in Woking

My wife and I lunched at this restaurant 10. 03. 2024. It has just been refurbished at considerable expense thus providing a very positive atmosphere. We were welcomed and were quickly presented with excellent food and wine With the bill of £70.00 they gave us a delightful fruit platter. I would recommend to anyone whatever the occasion.

Great spot for a meal after a matinee at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking. Easy to get a table. Excellent food and friendly, attentive service. Several families came in for an early dinner, looks like a family-friendly restaurant. Highly recommend.

Great meal and lovely, attentive staff. We came early and it was very quiet but meant we had prompt service and food. Will come back.

Empty restaurant for a pre-panto meal. Great service and environment. Not a wide ranging menu but the food that came was delicious. Toilet blower in the gents wasn't powerful enough. Didn't seem to be an option for alcohol, fair enough, not a necessity. Houmous and lamb tagine were so so nice, just delicious flavours. Well done and thank you. Reasonable prices too for the food. Drinks a bit pricey tbh. Would deffo recommend a visit rather than the bog standard Pizza Express next door.

The food was ok, not great, but we might have gone back to try other options in the menu. Service was good and prompt, but the service charge (12%) at the end was unexpected and we are not going back to pay hidden charges like that. Food was expensive enough to have covered for the service and we were a small group of 3 .

We were a large group celebrating a special birthday midweek. Prearranged the menu and restaurant was very accommodating. Excellent service from 2 young ladies. Plenty of delicious food for all, including vegetarians. Would highly recommend.

Delicious Moroccan food with lots of choice. BYOB makes it a cheaper night out too, as does free parking right outside from 6pm. Lovely friendly staff who looked after us. We’ll be back. Highly Recommend

The food was awful! I ordered a lamb tagine. It looked and tasted nothing like a tagine! Not a pleasant experience, didn't enjoy my food at all!! Explains why the restaurant was so DEAD!!!

The traditional Moroccan tagine dishes taste amazing and the waiters are helpful and polite. Also, the chicken livers were perfect.

I came to Daarna with great expectations following a great first visit. The restaurant was v quiet for a Friday night. We were greeted by an extremely friendly and attentive waitress who quickly showed us to our table and offered us water and bread. I love the bread dipping it in the sauce and eating it. However from a food perspective what followed was in our opinion below par which is a real shame. The calamari looked and tasted like something you find on a all inclusive holiday chucked out of the freezer into the fryer. My mate had the soujouk which he said “something different and the highlight of my evening” We followed with mains my significant other who usually finds himself with a mutton madras in front of him on a Friday opted for the lamb. He wished he had, had the madras this time. He gave the dish a 6/10. Overall the restaurant provides good value and is BYOB and okay food. We maybe just opted for the wrong dishes

Tried the mezze, really delicious, authentic food in a welcoming atmosphere. Recommend moussaka, falafel and fava beans. Flat breads served with it, was generous in quantity and great accompaniment to the mezze. Service was great, friendly and attentive staff. Alcohol can be taken and pay small amount for corkage.

Excellent Moroccan restaurant, the food was great. Especially the Lamb Tagine. We will definately be returning.

Excellent vegetarian meals served piping hot to the table with rice to accompany. Friendly service.

Great service, welcoming & friendly, great food, authentically Moroccan - and plenty of it! A pleasant ambience, clean loos. The restaurant doesn't serve alcohol but you can take in your own for a modest 'corkage' (As I recall, £3.00 per bottle of wine.) Go there!

Made an order through Deliveroo to eat at home whilst working. When the order was received realized that a few items where missing. Literally one third of the order (and ordered for 3 people). Called the restaurant, the person who picked the phone told me that I should drive there and pick the missing items. Told him that was not possible, I'm not that close, but also was working and didn't have time. Told him that he should arrange an alternative delivery. He said that he was working, busy, had no time for this and hung up the phone !!!!!!!. I called again, explained him that he didn't deliver items I paid for, and he should take responsibility. Again, same response, that he was busy and had no time for this. I had to explain him that I was a client and he needed to offer me a solution. Suggested him to call an Uber and send it to my home with the missing items. He said that he was not going do it, was not going to pay for it. He said, that I wanted my items delivered I should manage to arrange a collection. He said (before hanging up again) that my items were there and if I wanted them, I should drive to the restaurant and collect. In short, a complete disgrace. Mistakes happen, but key is how are being handled, and this time was an absolute disaster. I reported the restaurant to Deliveroo, and asked them take actions. The restaurant needs to realize that there are plenty of options in Woking and that with this attitude only thing they will do is to lose clients. By the way....the wraps we ordered, were below average at best. Never, ever again.

Service was excellent: staff were friendly and suitably attentive. We had the set menu and there was plenty of food and it all tasted very fresh. We were a mix of adults and teens including two vegans - no problem with adjusting the food balance...

This is one of the best restaurants in town. The food is great, the decor is beautiful, the prices are honest, and the staff is extremely friendly. They also operate on a BYOB (bring your own beverage) option, should you want wine or beer. I...

Service was excellent: staff were friendly, attentive and kind. The atmosphere was lacking a little when we went, to be fair, we did arrive at 6pm on a Thursday evening and were the only table so far. Eventually some music came on and this helped....

A group of 5 people went to Daarna for lunch on a Saturday. The food was incredible and the service top notch also. We had a mix of meaty dishes and some veggie options too as well as lots of sides for the table. Everything...

Absolutely delicious food. Great choices for vegetarians. Lovely fresh juice and sauces to accompany the food. Friendly service, a thoroughly enjoyed birthday meal. Thank you

This was our first visit to Daarna. We really enjoyed the experience. We thought the food was very tasty (especially the Lamb Tagine), the portions were of a good size. The service was excellent. There is a 12.5% service charge, this does also cover bread...

Food is always amazing! I highly recommend the lamb tagine. We have visited more than once and have never been disappointed

Have used Daarna many times in the past and have always been very happy. What set this restaurant apart from others was the absence of corkage charges as they do not serve alcohol but you can bring your own. My most recent visit was disappointing,...

We been ordering take away from this place for long time and we was always very pleased . Food always so good . Today we come in the restaurant and atmosphere here even better . Sabba is amazing he made our Saturday night . Always...

Great local restaurant with sensibly priced good quality food. Service was great. Only disappointment is the £3 corkage charge for wine, very happy to pay a corkage charge but it’s £3 per person regardless of how many bottles of wine you consume. So great value...

Very good place, good service, everything is nice, I highly recommend it, the food is delicious and fresh The juice is very good. Lemon juice and mango juice. Good and acceptable prices

Another delicious meal on a chilly Saturday night. We are regulars at this restaurant and cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are friendly, the food is yummy, and whether I come with friends, family, or just my husband and 2 year old for an...

We gave Daarna a try when we were looking for a place to eat in Woking. The food was amazing - I'm not an expert in Moroccan food but absolutely adored the dishes we had. The service was extremely welcoming too and we will be...

Very attentive and efficient staff, fabulous authentic Moroccan food - Mezza starters were excellent and very generous portions - we all had the lamb tagine which was again a very generous portion and it was very tasty. It was sad to see on a Friday...

Celebrated my 50th Birthday with family and friends. The service and food was beyond our expectation. We all had a great celebration and was a very stress free environment. Thanks Daarna for making our celebration great!

Ten of us went for an early Christmas get together. Can’t remember the name of it but we had the mezze and then the mains and the food just kept coming! Couldn’t do it justice but it was delicious. Would highly recommend. It’s bring your...

Lovely atmosphere and great welcome, food was very tasty and it just kept coming 😊 bring your own alcohol was great 🍷 Thanks to all the staff for a seamless service we will definitely be back

Lovely lunch as always! We visit family in Woking and always make Daarna part of the trip. Food is always tasty, good quality and value and the friendly staff make it so enjoyable there! Can't wait to go again.

We had the set grill for 2, generous amount of very tasty food. Excellent service from Danka who was very chatty, friendly & efficient. We will definitely return.

The freshest, most flavourful meal. I came with my partner and friend and it was just so fantastic. We had the chicken tagine, mousakka and chicken Shish. It was so tender. Staff were so attentive. Really worth a visit!

We've had a fantastic evening at Daarna, eating delicious food and were treated with such warmth by all the staff. We tasted a range of plates through the set menu, all of which was divine. Definitely worth a visit.

From the starters to the main course, everything was just perfect. Loved the lamb chops and the mixed grill😋. The kids cleaned their plates

The food we had was absolutely delicious & we can't wait to come back. There was so many nice things to choose from on the menu and we couldn't decide what to have so we took the recommendations from Kassim and had a number of...

We are so happy we chose Daarna restaurant to celebrate my Uncles birthday. We enjoyed Lamb tagines and mixed grill. The tagines were so delicious and the meat tender and very flavourful. Kassem and his staff were very friendly and gave great service. Will definitely...

Second visit and the same friendly service every time. Very good selection of food. Food arrived to table hot and tasty. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. You would walk past restaurant. The outside wooden canopy does not do it justice because the interior...

We have been returning regularly since the beginning. Our daughters both live the food here . Good service , delicious food and very spacious with an outside seating wto enjoy the mint tea. We had Taboulleh to start and we all had the chicken skewers...

Really enjoyed good food, a friendly welcome and delicious homemade lemonade. Will definitely come back.

My husband and I came here for lunch and the food was amazingly tasty, kofte was succulent, shawarma seasoned perfectly, brilliant fresh salad with the best salad dressing I've tasted! So good.... we're going back for dinner! The owner Qasim is very warm and welcoming....

Was visiting Woking with wife. Did a Google search and found this restaurant. Was greeted by Qaasim and given an amazing service. Food was delicious and even the salad was amazing. Great atmosphere and deco. Will be coming back again. Thank you.

We met friends at the halfway point from Suffolk and Bournemouth. We’re able to drop off our wine before the meal. A very warm welcome Staff very intuitive great service. The food was amazing amuse Bouche of olives pitter bread and dips. Starters were so...

We had a great experience at the restaurant today. The service was very good and the staff were welcoming. We enjoyed the flavourful fresh starters and the Chicken Tajine was excellent - Highly recommended.

Welcome by a waiter (although restaurant looks very busy) and offered seating with menu and until we decide our food we ordered drinks fresh juices and not wrong to say that fresh lemonade and fresh strawberries juice were enough to win our heart, we ordered...

The interior is lovely, the menu good and the food was very tasty. However, the service was poor: Drink orders were not taken until we were ready to order food; when I asked whether I can have fries instead of rice as a side, I...

Went here this last night, place looks like a tacky bar with rubbish house music playing not many people sat in ( not very authentic or welcoming) Went by TripAdvisor reviews. Girl serving us was incredibly rude. Hurried us to rubbish seats. Then when ordering...

Great food good service thoroughly recommend this restaurant. All the starters were lovely especially the chicken livers and meatballs. We all enjoyed our main courses plenty of food and delicious meats. Kebabs lovely and the tagine was great. Can't wait to come back again.

We were here for a spontaneous lunch and had a fantastic meal. The falafel was incredibly good, the moussakka a dream and the rest of the food absolutely convincing. The staff was friendly, courteous and very friendly. Unreserved recommendations!

We went on a wekeend. They handed us the menu and after we chose the item, they said it is only weekday item and not served on weekend. They also advised they had run out of bread of some sort. We tried to order again,...

Visited on spec on a Friday night. The welcome, the glorious fresh food, the ambience, what a find. Cannot recommend enough. Just go there.

So Tasty Lamb Tagine with couscous and what a brilliant mix of grills. Friendly tentative staff. Amazing evening.

We ordered a selection of Mezze - all of which were delicious. However, we couldn't eat all of it, so we were provided with containers to take away. Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow!

I've been here a couple times in the last month with groups of friends. Food has been great both times and works really well for sharing both mezze starters and mains in a group. Service is friendly but very relaxed so you can spend a...

Reserved a table for four, called up a day before to check as well. Restaurant cancelled our booking because they had a large booking of 30. They did not note down our number therefore did not inform about the cancellation. No apologies either. We were...

Came to celebrate a birthday. Food was nice enough (which some may say is the most important thing) but service was really poor which is annoying when paying a service charge. We had to get up and ask for everything. Glasses, bottle opener, ice, the...

It was an odd experience. We had booked online but somehow that had failed to get through to the handwritten bookings book at the door. It was 6pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. We were begrudgingly offered a table with a deadline to get...

Excellent food served swiftly pre theatre visit - also were able to park behind restaurant .Being your own booze and no corkage was super .

The best meal out for a long while. The Lamb Tagine was so tasty, highly recommended. The service was first class. No corkage charge!!

We love coming to this restaurant! We discovered this by chance and have been a total of 2 times since as it's that good! The liver is incredibly soft and the falafels are so soft! The traditional rose with mint tea is delicious too. Very...

I really enjoyed our meal at Daarna. A really big plus was the service; it was really good with friendly waiters and staff, but I was a little disappointed they did not do a 2 min check after serving us our food to check if...

When booking a restaurant for a large party, why, especially when not fully booked, do the proprietors insist on putting 14 people on one long thin table? Totally avoiding the exact purpose for having a ‘party’ night out. The tables were so close to the...

A friend told me about this restaurant and my husband and I went in the summer for a delicious meal in their outdoor dining area. We ordered the Mixed Grill for 2 that came with starters and mains. It was delicious. The starters were so...

Fresh and Tasty food The best I ate in Woking 😍 The place is calm and relaxing, perfect for a date I would recommend this place

Me and my husband always coming to this restaurant at least once a week. Really good service as everyone is really friendly. The food is amazing and we would always come back here. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Went as a couple for dinner last week and had a great time - fantastic food, quick and friendly service and generous sized portions. Would definitely go again :)

We ate here a couple of months ago and had such an enjoyable evening with great service, food and ambience. We were really looking forward to returning. Unfortunately our second experience was not so good. Service was very slow. One of our starters (meatballs) was...

We live just around the corner from the restaurant and have passed it many times. We decided to pop in on a Friday evening for a relaxed family dinner and experienced excellent service & wonderfully tasty food at a fair price. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed the birthday meal out with the family. The staff in Daarna were really polite and helpful (particularly with my nut allergy). The food was fresh and delectable. Thank you Daarna (THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER!!!!)

Me and my partner had a very happy and pleasant food experience at Daarna last Saturday. Ordered Halloumi wrap, Chicken tagine and blakawa and all tasted great. Service was amazing. Will be visiting again and very frequently!

Went as a couple, we had reserved and were taken straight to seats no waiting - same can be said for service, friendly and efficient. Menus arrived promptly, pretty clear and well laid out with ingredients. Plenty of starter options (my wife later had a...

The food is always amazing and fresh whether we eat in or have it as takeaway. The lamb in particular is very high quality and the staff are friendly. It's also B.Y.O.B. I would recommend this over any of the chain restaurants in Woking!

The restaurant was beautiful the service was amazing and the food was even better. Would definitely go there again.

Lovely halloumi and the humous is great. The customer service is pretty decent. All in all would come here again for sure.

Excellent food, great friendly and smiley staff. Had a nice time. Will be going again and highly recommend this restaurant!

First time to Daarna and highly recommend. Really great food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Went here for the first time with some friends. From the friendly greeting onwards we well looked after by the staff. Decided to have the lamb tangine as well as chicken with couscous along with a selection of starters and we weren’t disappointed. All the...

Great friendly service. Especially as there was a large group of us and was on a time scale. The staff were extremely accommodating. Food was lovely too. Can’t wait to go back.

Wow! Stunning food! We ate inside and was amazed at the beautiful decor. The seating was incredibly comfortable and the ambience really nice. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the king prawns and it came with salad and rice. Well it wasn’t just any...

Fantastic food (we had a selection of delicious mezzes) and a warm friendly service in relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

I had a spectacular night with my friends due to the exceptional service at Daarna. This was compliment by our phenomenal food containing succulent chicken and delightful sauces. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

Great venue with great service. We ordered the Daarna gourmet for two which is excellent value, giving a good selection of starters, followed by the mixed grill. And you can bring your own bottle of wine. Definitely recommended.

Amazing food the lamb tagine was amazing !! Came with my family for a last minute decision and was lot disappointed. Great food, excellent service.

Lovely atmosphere, staff and excellent food. A "Hidden Gem" in Woking. Highly recommended, especially the set menu at £25 per head.

Extremely enjoyable dinner with 12 friends and family. We enjoyed the delicious set menu as recommended by our waiter, a selection of cold and hot meze dishes and lamb and chicken tagines, followed by baklava. BYO drinks. Nice atmosphere, excellent service, great food and would...

There food is ABSOLUTELY amazing and I would recommend to go there often. The staff are so nice and make your day better!!! 😍😍

Great authentic atmosphere and equally hospitable staff. We came as a group of 5 and we’re seated immediately, food arrived in good time and we were treated to a complimentary dessert, will for sure come again when next in the area!

There is just one thing to say “you must visit!!!” First Class Service and food!!! Have visited many times, and have never been disappointed, well done Daarna!!!

First time trying Lebanese food and it was delicious. Just simple stuff like salad was just amazing. My favourite was the slow cook lamb. I would heavily recommend family and friends to come down. The staff was very friendly too.

We went last friday and the whole experience was lovely - really relaxed and friendly. We took our own drink and ordeed various dishes from the meze section. The food was fantastic and the service was really relaxed, helpful and warm. This restaurant is a...

I've been twice to the restaurant now and both times the food and service was excellent. The food was perfectly portioned, fresh and delicious. All the staff were so friendly which created a lovely atmosphere. It is the perfect place to go with family or...

Just visited here for the first time and will definitely be back. Excellent value with 4 mezze enough for 2 of us for dinner. Also, no licence so taking your own alcohol makes it even better value. Lovely, friendly and attentive staff

Very rarely in life do your senses transport you back to a time in your childhood. For me, tonight, this happened. I’m in love with this restaurant and. The memories it conjured

Visited this lovely restaurant 07/08/2021 from Bournemouth, the food was presented beautifully and was very tasty, staff couldn’t do enough for you. Great atmosphere and lovely surroundings, would visit this little gem of a restaurant again.

Daarna never lets us down. The food is delicious - the lamb tagine is divine, and we enjoyed the falafels and calamari. The service is so friendly. I can’t wait to go back again.

Amazing food! Had starters and mains, which were all so tasty. Decent portion sizes for mains. Really friendly staff. Could not recommend more.

I went here with friends for a wonderful night out. The service is amazing, so friendly and considerate. The meal was outstanding, we had 5 starters to share, and then a main course each, plus 3 desserts for only £105 including service. Go for the...

Fantastic food . The Lamb tagine was superb . BYO so you can bring your own wine . Superb service - we got in trouble with the waiters for serving our wine and doing their job ! Great atmosphere and banter between the waiters who...
