Restaurants in Darien

“Taktuka Moroccan Kitchen is a SEVEN star experience - not a five star experience. It is truly the definition of a small joint with BIG HEART.

Let me BEGIN with Khaled and Hamza. The most gracious and humble hosts - paying attention to every detail and stopping at nothing to bring whatever the customer wants to fruition. We don’t realize that the place closes at 8:00 pm, and just kept chomping and socializing - they never once pointed it out to us. I begin with them because they were the friendliest folks, and their service was truly remarkable.

Then comes the food - my goodness, the food. Let’s begin with the Harira. Perfectly seasoned, but for me, it requires a little more salt (which is personal preference) and a pop of acid like lemon to bring out its true flavor. Overall, a really comforting, rich soup without being heavy or cloying. Then came the Moroccan seasoned potatoes - oooooweeee! These were little nuggets of pure deliciousness. Seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside and every bite kept you wanting to go back for more. Then the lamb shank tagine - ummmm, excuse me?!?! What do you mean the meat is like butter? It literally falls off the bone and dissolves in your mouth. Rich, fatty, unctuous and truly a delight. The bed of couscous it came with was also great - made better by the sauce from the lamb shank. The highlight of this plate were the roasted prunes that are part of the sauce. Sweet, jammy prunes cooked into the sauce made them just truly a delightful mouthfeel in comparison to the couscous and the scrumptious meat.

To top it all off, the cherry on top, is their comforting Moroccan mint tea. So very fresh and the perfect end to an absolutely DELIGHTFUL meal. Highly recommended!!!”

“What an amazing place. Freshly made sandwiches and great people. Highly recommend Tony and Tinas.”

“I asked AI to find me a Cubano sandwich nearby and it took me to this fantastic place. I got some kind of dish that was phyllo dough with spinach and cheese in the middle of it. I have no idea what it was but it was really good and the staff seemed delighted that I was trying something new for the first time.

I also got their Cuban sandwich and substituted mustard for the Mayo that comes with it. First of all it was ginormous and could have fed two people. The bread was a cross between sourdough and a pizza crust and seemed like it was made right there. And then it had generous helpings of ham and shredded pork with pickles. It was really great!

Staff seems super friendly and the place looked like it was packed full of regulars who were speaking Serbian maybe?
It was a great experience.”

“Definitely lived up to the hype.”

“Excellent burgers and Italian beef 💯
Been going here since I was a kid we usually get the Italian beef set up’s where you can make it at your house but everything on the menu is delicious 😋
The staff is very friendly and polite as well.”

“Tragiskai neskanu. pirkau silke suboje, darzoves pavandeniavusios. Saltibarsciai be skonio. Turejau dasideti visko. Balta misraine irgi beskone. Vieninteliai ceburekai buvo puse bedos, tik permirke aliejuj. Never again.”

“We have catered holiday meals from various different restaurants and they all have been good- but yesterday’s Thanksgiving turkey was the best we have ever had.

“man, i love tai san chef😙”

“I just came home from Culver’s. We ordered online and I scheduled curbside pickup. Well I wanted to add to my order and walked in too early. Well it wasn’t even started yet but they went above and beyond trying to accommodate me. The manger was amazing as were all the employees. They all apologized to me but I made the mistake. Brought me my food which was just made and nice and hot. The young man who brought me my food also apologized to me and held the door open for me. What a wonderful experience. This was in in Darien Il. Will definitely return. My nam is Kathy and I hope the manager sees this. Thank you Culver’s.”

“Today we had put our senior dog down to cross the rainbow bridge 🌈😞🐶🐾 and to comfort our devastated kids we took them to Chuck E Cheese in Darien. It was empty - Incredibly Clean- And had THE NICEST staff ever. (Jeyy and Joyce!) They comforted my kids and made the visit extra special. Food was perfect and for a bit of time the kids forgot their sorrow! So very thankful!! Highly recommend! Will be going back.”

“Shout out to Beck's! Great Customer service and nicest humans!”

“They were really busy and got the orders put quick. I've had the bacon 3 cheesesteak and the chicken Philly. Both were amazing!”

“First time having food here and it was delicious. The price was very reasonable and the portions were huge!
This will be my new spot for Chinese food.
Also no tummy ache the next day which has happened to me before after different Chinese restaurants.”
