    My husband loved the fish and chips. Only complaint was the wines by the glass. Had trouble finding something to my liking. I guess my favorite was the French Chardonnay—good price point too.

    We had an amazing brunch at Dalida, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely delicious, starting with their pita bread, which was perfectly baked—aromatic, soft, and simply delightful. The burger was not your traditional burger; it had a creative twist that made it truly stand out. The highlight of our meal, however, was the dessert. We tried the Layered Baklava, a masterpiece blending the essence of a classic Napoleon pastry with a Middle Eastern touch. It was topped with a generous sprinkle of crushed pistachios, paired with fresh cream and raspberry sauce underneath. The layers of texture and flavor created an explosion of richness, and the presentation was visually stunning. Beyond the food, the ambiance of Dalida is what sets it apart. The cozy yet chic atmosphere makes it an excellent choice for a date or a special occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique dining experience!
