This blog is dedicated to one of the most unique restaurants I have had dinner at, Dahlia. Unfortunately the place has closed down, but the memories remain and hence it finds a place in my blog. Dahlia was a modest but clean little restuarant on Church Street, which looked like a two bedroom flat converted to a restuarant.
I never had any intention of trying Japanese food, but I went there with a few of my friends, who wanted to have sushi. I was a bit disappointed by the business like seating and the bare blue walls, but when I tasted the food I was thrilled. The maguro (tuna) sushi was amazing, though the fish was raw, I had never tasted anything so wonderful and succulent in my life. The soy sauce and the wasabi paste were perfect to go with the fish, rice and seaweed treasures that were entering my mouth. Next on the menu we ordered some fried prawns (forgot the name of the dish), the prawns were of the perfect size, neither too big which makes them hard, nor too small which leaves you disappointed. We had all the dishes with japanese tea, which is neither warm nor cold, but is served at room temperature. This was one of the most wonderful gastronomic adventure I had ever had and was on the verge of commiting suicide when I saw that this place had closed down.
This place wasn't expensive considered the exotic quality food that they used to serve here. A dinner for two would leave you poorer by around Rs.1000 .
I don't consider myself to be experienced enough to rate restuarants (yet), but if I did this would have got a 5/5.
