    I’ve never been disappointed eating at Delara and tonight was no exception. We had the family style sharing menu and the dips were a highlight. The skewers were delicious!! I will be back for sure!

    Great happy hour with inventive cocktails and a great menu for small plates. The dips and bread are tasty and the bread comes in handy for the delicious sauce that accompanies the meatballs

    Outstanding dinner experience. We shared all mains on the menu except trout which one of our party enjoyed. Lamb shank and duck breast were the favourites though everything was delicious. Our server provided excellent advice on ordering. Shared turmeric orange cake, baklava and saffron ice cream. Ice cream was bland, other two desserts were excellent. We have had lunch several times but this was our first dinner- we will return.

    Lovely experience overall. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance truly set the tone for a great evening — stylish, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The food was enjoyable, with a few standout dishes that really impressed. If you're in the mood for something different, give their creative twist on Gheimeh stew a try — it's a bold and modern take that might surprise you in the best way. Definitely worth a visit if you're exploring Persian cuisine with a fresh perspective.

    Went at lunch time mid-week, so fairly quiet but at night it can be quite noisy. Would have been nice to have more lighter choices on the menu mid-week. Soup not that much flavour and not that hot.

    The food was delicious and the ambience was nice, not too noisy. Our server was okay. We had 6 people in our group. Normally for a party of 4+, most restaurants will allow 2.5 hours or more depending on how busy they are. The restaurant was not too busy that night, there were tables for 2 or 4 available. Our reservation was at 5:30pm. Without knowing that we only had 2 hour time limit, I found it’s a bit awkward when the server presented the bill at 7:20pm and told us we needed to leave as they had another group coming in 10 minutes. We were about to leave anyway but I think the server could have handled the situation a bit better.

    This is not traditional Persian food, it’s a contemporary take on Persian cuisine without many of the dishes that make it great. The staff leaves a lot to be desired as well, not very warm or knowledgeable on their menu. Not sure who their target audience is, appears they’re more focused on trying to be different than blending new world ideas with traditional Persian food. They had some good ideas and the ingredients were quality though.
