Darya Restaurant Description:
Darya delivers on traditional and satisfying Persian comfort food. Who doesn't like nicely grilled meats with mounds of fluffy jasmine rice? A visit to this eatery is special because of its South Coast Plaza Village location and opulent décor, including a profusion of marble columns. Get your palate started with a creamy yogurt dip or order up the hearty borani eggplant purée, which comes with thinly-cut fried onions and mint as a crunchy and smoky garnish. Instead of the usual beef kebab, try the tender and juicy chicken koobideh (ground chicken marinated overnight in lemon juice and saffron) and order it up with zereshk polo (jasmine rice studded with tiny tart and tangy barberries). The more adventurous seek out Persian stews with exotic ingredients like turmeric, fenugreek, parsley and dried Persian limes. End the meal by sipping some calming cardamom-scented Persian tea paired with a classic sugary dessert. When it gets late on weekend evenings, there's always live music, family-style dancing and a belly dancer or two.
