Restaurants in Darien

“Wonderful place with delicious food and great service. We ordered Vegetable Samosas & Naan bread for the table, my mom got Nimma Rasam Soup, my brother got the Chicken Tikka Masala and I got the Tandoori Shrimp. Both our meals came with a side salad.”

“Great food and friendly people. Plus, live music on Wednesday nights”

“A mark of any really good restaurant is consistent quality. This place has it. The kitchen does not fall apart if you ask for a different cheese on your breakfast sandwich or ask for something out of the ordinary for a kids plate.”

“Rápido riquísimo,abundante.Nos encanto.”

“Everyone is so friendly and the food is amazing. Very reasonable prices and don't leave w/o trying the cheesecake!! ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎”

“Food was delicious. My order was to go and it was nicely packaged and did I say delicious?”

“Look what I just found in my salad from Papa Joe’s - much #love as always!”

“Delicious, authentic and so friendly”

“I enjoyed my crepe today and the pricing is great.”

“Chip city all the way! I’ve been coming to Chip since their first location opened in Queens and since moving north it has been so long since I had it. I took a chance to see if they had the Rainbow cookie on the menu today and they did! Omg it tastes exactly like I remember although the size looks smaller and the cost way higher, it is what it is I don’t have these often clearly. Perfect, tasty, chewy in all the ways you want a cookie to be. The worker today was exceptional and kind!! He was sweeping when there were no customers, wiping fingerprints off the glass, all while genuinely happy. Don’t go to any other cookie spot!”

“Great service and generous portion. Our waiter not only made great recommendation; but attentively listen to our diet restriction and made recommendation that meets our needs. Food may not be exactly like in Thailand but as good as can be. Highly recommend for those looking for thai cuisine in Connecticut.”

“Really good! Affordable and a really cute place!”

“Wonderful dinner experience last evening. The food is delicious and although the place was packed, we never felt rushed to finish. Instead, we were thanked multiple times for visiting and the entire staff was warm and friendly. We will be back!”

“We waited with anticipation when Barvida opened in Darien, about a block from our office, and then found that they're friendly, vegan, and fair-minded. Their lunch time food is a favorite.”

“Always great:) If you grew up here, it’s part of you:)”

“Obsessed with the sourdough!”

“Raphael's Bakery is the absolute best! I was in town from NorCal and I stopped by to meet a friend in Greenwich. I had some time to kill so I started asking Charlotte about why my homemade sourdough bread wasn't successful. She called Raphael over who, while he didn't share his secret receipe, he helped me understand the reasons why my bread wasn't full of air and getting any "oven lift." They were both so gracious with their time and experience......I hope they will consider offering cooking classes at some point. Absolute class act people!”

“Great food/ staff. Definitely a destination to dine”

“Amazing food and the nicest people!”

“a great place, food is always fresh and delicious, the staff is the best!”

“Went here for our anniversary and wow! The food was a masterpiece. The ambience and service was great. The duck breast special was so delicious. It was tender, juicy with the perfect crisp skin. I highly recommend!”

“The best Grandma’s pie, hands down. Looking forward to trying more from the huge menu. 👍”

“Great food, welcome atmosphere, great service, fair prices….what’s not to love?!?”

“My absolute favourite Thai place in the Fairfield county area. Curry and sticky rice is always a 10/10, whether I’m with friends or taking out. Love you LTK!!!! ♡”

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.”

“Visited Neat, and I have to say the service was excellent, and the coffee was absolutely delicious and incredibly refreshing. We also tried the fluffy bread next door, which was just as enjoyable.

One thing to be aware of is that the ground flooring is very uneven, so it's worth watching your step while walking around the area. Unfortunately, our date was cut short due to an incident in the surrounding area shortly after we grabbed our coffee and food. Even so, the quality of the drinks, food, and friendly service left a positive impression.”

“I’ve been going there since the 70’s. Mrs. Vavala did it right then and it’s still just as good!”

“Food is delicious! Went for dinner best burger in town! Meatloaf yummmm”

“By far best Chinese food in the area”

“I go there to write and meet my friends”

“We have a Garden Catering near my office in Stamford that my company has used a few times for catering. It was exciting having one move into my neighborhood. I love how they have twists on breakfast sandwiches that are all so good, when I don't go out often when I do it is hard to pick which sandwich I want.”

“Ordered a Kale Chicken Caesar wrap and peanut butter protein shake. Both were great! Karen was super friendly and welcoming and provided great service! Awesome experience and will definitely be back.”

“Excellent food, large portions and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend NAYA!”

“Delicious sandwiches and chicken parm, baked ziti and salads. They're always very generous with portions too! Tony and Lou are always so friendly, a local favorite of ours.”

“The Positive energy in this place like no other I have felt in love to work at Browne & co the Frist day I was Called to cover work on of the chef and I was lucky be part of the team the place is beautiful everything is made fresh daily 💪💪💪❤️🙏”

“We had a private event with 15 people in the back room and their event coordinator (Lindsay) and our waitress (Carmen) went above and beyond to make the day perfect for my 90 year old mom! Highly recommend this experience. The room could probably hold 20-25 comfortably.”

“5 out of 5 hands down! The atmosphere is awesome, the staff are wonderful and the food... BOMB. The Katsu Chicken sandwich is my favorite! They also have ready to go cold salads, sandwiches, juices and small snacks which makes a quick stop easy, efficient and healthy!”

“Someone threw up in the bathroom and Victoria insisted on thoroughly cleaning the bathroom before letting anyone use the bathroom. All the bartenders are fantastic and give quick and accurate service. Love this place!!! 😍”

I got the sesame chicken lunch special. Really great pork roll, and the sesame chicken was super good.

I do generally like a sweet sesame chicken which is why it was so good!
Definitely worth the money would come anytime!!”

“Memorable Happy Hour! My colleagues and I recently hosted a business happy hour at Scena, and we were blown away by the fantastic service, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. Cristian's attentive presence was commendable. He consistently checked in with us, making us feel valued and well taken care of. The bartender and the rest of the crew were incredibly friendly and accommodating, adding to the positive vibe of the evening. Scena rose to the occasion, delivering beyond our expectations for our group of 25-30 people. The tastefully decorated interior and cozy seating arrangements created a comfortable space for socializing and networking. Overall, our experience at Scena was phenomenal. The exceptional service, mouthwatering food, and delightful ambiance made it an unforgettable happy hour. We wholeheartedly recommend Scena for a memorable dining experience.”

“Great food, lovely staff, happy atmosphere”

“Absolutely love this place and always come for a quick bite to eat when I am on the go. Always get their chicken sandwich or the empanadas. Employees were so friendly and willing to customize any food item!”

“Great food and service have been there several times. However it's very loud and hard to have conversations they really need to do something to bring down the noise level very hard to communicate with other people at your table we felt like we were shouting at each other.”

“I love this place. I wish the base was a little thicker. When I go to the playa bowl in Tarrytown, NY the base is much thicker. This one is soupier but still great.”

“I would like to do a special shout-out and big thank you to Chris Zahlman for going out of his way in finding the owner of a jacket left behind in the Darien Starbucks. The coat was ready to be retrieved in the lost and found the next morning. A very special and outstanding employee.”

“The service was great! The drinks were perfect - much needed liquid energy! The sandwich and cookie hit the spot! Thank you, Gregory's Coffee!”

“We absolutely love Shake Shack and it has become a family tradition for us to go once a week because it’s our child’s favorite place to eat. Every time we walk in, the staff recognizes us, greets us warmly, and treats our family with so much kindness.

When our son turned 2, we decided to celebrate his birthday there for dinner. The staff went above and beyond—they all came out to sing “Happy Birthday,” gave him a little toy football, and even brought him a bowl of ice cream for the birthday boy. It was such a sweet and memorable moment for our family.

Shake Shack is truly one of the most family- and child-friendly places we’ve been to. The music is always great, the food is consistently delicious, and, most importantly, the staff is always friendly and welcoming.

Thank you to the entire team for making our weekly family tradition so special. We’ll keep coming back! ❤”
