Darna may be located in Jerusalem's Russian Compound, but if you allow your senses to wrest control away from your mind, which will probably happen when you enter the restaurant anyway, you would swear you were in Morocco.

Walk up the steps from Horkanos Street and you'll be greeted with the sight of authentic Spanish-inflected Moroccan décor, all imported from Morocco, and the smells of kosher Moroccan cuisine being cooked the way Moroccan Jews, Arabs and Berbers have been cooking it for centuries. Even the waiters' outfits are the real thing.

In any other restaurant, such attention to detail might run the risk of becoming a gimmick, but in Darna it fits perfectly. The gourmet food, served in epic portions, includes the traditional couscous (in both meat and vegetarian varieties), tagine (a meat stew) and several lamb dishes.

From 12:00 until 15:00, you can take advantage of one of the finest business lunches in Jerusalem, for 75 NIS. The restaurant's spacious interior can be booked for events large and small – even weddings.
