The Dara

First of all, I would like to say that I have actually been to Thailand and they have the best food in the world. Me and my girl like to go to Thai food places and try the food and rate it. First off I would like to say that this is DEFINITELY NOT authentic Thai food. This was food made by people just trying to make Thai food, but it’s definitely not. I went here because of the good reviews and it was supposed to be good and it was supposed to be “authentic”, the food was definitely not authentic and I would say the good reviews all come from people who eat unseasoned food, if you know what I mean? IYKYK. Good spot for date night if drinking only. I ordered the Thai tea martini and blah.. it was OK. The ambience is nice. The location is nice. The place is nice. The food is two out of 10. L

Excellent eats. Atmosphere promotes conversing with light ambient music. Soft lighting, large bar area. Friendly service and welcoming decoration. Food and aesthetics are warm & inviting. Would recommend the Thai tea as well

I stopped by The Dara about an hour and half before closing, and I’m so glad I did. The food was absolutely amazing—very authentic Thai cuisine in a rustic, cozy atmosphere. First time there and I was impressed by Katie behind the bar. She was absolutely amazing—great service, very knowledgeable about the menu, pleasant and friendly to talk to, welcoming, and gave excellent recommendations. I ordered Thai fried rice with fried chicken thighs, and my friend had the pad Thai with fried chicken thighs. The flavors were vibrant and perfectly balanced. The portions were generous and the quality truly impressed. Overall, love the food and the vibe. I’ll definitely be returning soon to try more 🤗🤗🤗. If you’re craving authentic Thai in a rustic, cozy setting with top-notch service, this place is

What a let down. Went here with a party of six at 8pm on a Saturday night. The place look good, nice vibey music. We ordered our food 4 appetizers and 4 main dishes a drinks. The appetizers were our in 5 min, cold dumplings, overdone beef salad. The spice condiment trio had no prik nam pla, just saracha, chili powder and an oil. As we were distributing our appetizers the mashed ns are iut. There was no room for our individual plates on the table. They did not stage the food at all. This really ruins a nice dinner with family. The “extraordinary “ crab fried rice was simple mediocre fried rice topped with some lump crab meat. Surprise surprise. Six people had consumed food,packed leftovers and paid the bill n 45 min. That is the only extraordinary thing about this meal and place. We wer

One of the best Thai restaurants in Baltimore. They also have an incredibly affordable Business Lunch deal, which provides 1 appetizer and 1 main entree for only $19 dollars. I came with a party of 4, and with each of us choosing this deal, we were able to sample 4 different appetizers and 4 different mains. The boneless fried chicken and lotus root were the standout appetizers. The fried rice was also fantastic. It's rare to see an affordable meal as good as this.
