This is one of the best Persian restaurants in SoCal. I've had a variety of items from their menu over the years and it's all been consistently good.

The quality of the staff and the level of service is amazing.

The people from Iran are famous for their hospitality and you can experience it here.

Darya Restaurant entirely surprised us by their wonderful quality and her sweet hospitality as our first experience in Orange County! We also enjoyed the elegant Persian environment! (We ordered Darya 2 and was perfect!)

Had a wonderful evening here to celebrate my mom's birthday. She loves this place. I'm a picky eater, so the chicken and rice was right up my alley. The chicken was moist and tender and the rice was seasoned nicely. They did confuse my drink order, and it took a min for them to figure out what I was asking for, but all in all, it was a great evening, great food, great service.
