   Incredible food. We were sat 20 min late and the food took forever between courses that ultimately we wrapped up the last course.

   Dalida was an absolute treat. The service was great, the food was excellent, and the location / setting was perfect. There were so many creative drinks and dishes to choose from and our server gave us so much context and background when we needed it. It was definitely on the high-end price wise, but it was such a special experience. We’ll be back!

   Great lunch, loved every dish. Breaking bread is a must, fried poached egg was lovely and the baklava slayed on texture and flavor.

   It's a shame. Wonderful restaurant and food. Service is really hit or miss. Some of the crew was excellent. Some of the crew didn't seem to know why they were there. I hope this gem can get everyone on board!

   We usually love Dalida, but on a Wednesday night, it was packed and service was very slow. Clearly understaffed. Food was also not up to usual. Chicken is a favorite but was dry and steak had lots of fat. We love relaxing and not being rushed but were there for 3 hours.

    Last Tuesday, I was fortunate enough to dine at Dalida with my mother and my nephew (13). My nephew loves to cook and really enjoys getting to go to "celebrity" restaurants, watch chefs at work, and try new foods so I booked seats at the chef's counter which he was very excited about. The restaurant itself is lovely and everyone from the hostess, to our servers, to the chefs on the other side of the counter were welcoming, gracious, and entertaining! We shared 2 appetizers - first, "Breaking Bread", had a trio of dips, and olives & pickles, with fresh pita. It was the smoked yogurt dip that really elevated the platter. It was thick and creamy, but not heavy, and the smoky taste was addictive. It was extra fun to eat with the excellent pita we'd just seen being rolled and baked right in front of us. Our second appetizer was "Zeytinyagli Enginar" This was my favorite dish we had all night - the artichokes were melt in your mouth delicious and I've never had anything like the orange-dill dressing before. We were still talking about it days later! My nephew ordered the Arayes Burger while my mother and I shared the saffron tahdig and the kayseri manti - you can put us down as both liking the lamb in this dish! The dumplings were tiny, tender, and adorable, but it is the sauce that really knocks this dish out of the park. I've never had urfa-tomato sauce now, but I definitely want it again. For dessert, I was determined to try the Maraş style ice cream - also after having seen it on Top Chef - so we ordered 3 flavors and shared. My favorite was the kaymak - especially mixed with sour cherry. Overall, a truly special and delicious experience - a big thank you to Chef Laura for coming over to meet us fans and talk to my nephew about her experience getting started in restaurants. He glowed the whole night!
