Sitting pretty on the 16th floor of the Dandi Wembley apartment complex, Dariana Kitchen & Bar boasts beautiful high rise views over Wembley and North West London, as well as sophisticated all-day dining menus and innovative in-house cocktails and mocktails.
The space itself is verdant and foliage-laden, with trees and plants dominating the space. Combined with a fully retractable glass roof, panoramic glass windows and calming fountain at the centre of it all, it gives the impression that one is dining in a magnificent floating garden. The roof retracts on warmer days, turning this high rise restaurant into a terrace area perfect for al fresco dining and drinks with friends.
Meanwhile, food and drink starts early in the morning with croissants, pain au chocolat and plant-based treats from the bakery alongside coffees. There are egg breakfasts too, as well as sweet treats like French toast and house granola with coconut yoghurt and berries. At lunchtime, the menu transitions into Dariana Kitchen & Bar’s all-day menu - international flavours are the focus here, with a menu that features comforting classics from all over the world. Mains include grilled saffron chicken with rice, rigatoni Bolognese, grilled sea bass with roasted vegetables, and a house burger and chips. There are kebab-style wraps too, and smaller bites (halloumi fries with harissa, for example) in case you’re just having a nibble with a drink.
Dariana Kitchen & Bar offers a brunch menu on weekends that provides the best of the breakfast and all-day menus, so you’re free to come and eat as you please in the morning or the afternoon. The cocktail menu is another area where Dariana gets creative, with innovative house mixes like the Dandi Lemonade (Bulleit bourbon, home made lemonade, Double Dutch ginger) and the Dariana (Tanqueray London Dry, rose water, pomegranate juice, elderflower cordial).
