    The best meal I've had in a while! My taste buds were literally dancing, each bite was a delicious surprise. We had the salt cod fritters, the oxtail au gratin to share. I had the dorade filet and my friend had the scallops. We enjoyed every bite and look forward to coming back to enjoy the other items on the menu. The place and vibe were super cute as well. I plan to come back and come back often!

    The beef hotpot was a delight to the senses. So tasty! Bbq pork belly/whole squid arrived quickly and was soon demolished at our table as it was a superb starter while we waited for the hotpot to cook! Attentive service, was a great experience, thank you.

    We love black mole and have had it at many different restaurants over the years. The black mole in Casa Carmen's "Pollo con mole Xico" was the best we've ever had! Wonderful depth of flavor, slightly sweet, not at all "chili hot" which we don't care for. The Carnitas Tacos were also delicious.

    **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Absolute Triumph of Modern Thai Cuisine** **Dahla** completely lives up to the reputation. It deserves every bit of the hype it’s currently getting, and then some. * **The Drinks:** We started the night with a few of their crafted cocktails. "Inspired" is the perfect word here—expertly balanced, inventive, and the perfect prelude to the meal. * **The Food:** This is where the kitchen truly shines. The menu pays immense respect to the deeply rooted, traditional flavors of Thai cuisine, but it doesn't stop there. They take a brilliant departure from the classics to deliver something entirely fresh, exciting, and genuinely new to the restaurant scene. Every dish was a masterclass in balance and innovation. > **Final Verdict:** Exceptional food, phenomenal drinks, and a vibrant atmosphere. A huge thank you to the staff for making our evening so seamless and memorable. We will absolutely be back!
