My finest pal Sarah actually is aware of the right way to perk me up. I used to be a brand new particular person after ordering over a dozen small plates and two craft cocktails on the Los Angeles Style District Mediterranean bar Dama. This scrumptious gem of a restaurant shouldn’t be be missed in your subsequent LA journey! Each dish is crafted with care. Listed below are some must-try dishes.
Whipped Beans
Let me begin off by saying I might by no means usually order one thing referred to as whipped beans however I used to be instantly excited at how many individuals shouted “whipped beans!” when the waiter requested if we knew what we wished. I’ll endlessly be sitting in Dallas pining away for this creamy dish! It sort of tastes like a cream cheese dip topped with extremely crispy pork. Palms down my favourite factor at Dama!
Crispy Squash Blossoms
All of us instantly agreed on the crispy squash blossoms filled with goat cheese, serrano, cilantro, chives, and thyme. These delicate morsels didn’t disappoint! They had been mild as air! Definitley one other must-order dish.
Piquillo Toast
Topped with goat cheese and anchovies on charred bread, this dish was easy and stylish. Should you love anchovies like me, you’ll love this scrumptious bruschetta!
Corn
That is one other merchandise I might have by no means ordered however I’m so glad my group did! The corn was offered fantastically, served like little lollipops with a knife to chop the kernals off the cob. So pleasant! With queso fresco, catija, and cilantro aioli, this dish is poppin’ with taste.
Crispy Potatoes
Completely crispy smashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts are served with spicy mayo, herbs, and chimichurri sauce. I used to be not anticipating this dish to be spicy but it surely had a bit kick! It’s not day by day you see potatoes and Brussels sprouts collectively and I beloved the combo.
Bread
Merely titled “bread,” this bruschetta was a pleasant manner to take in the creamier dishes on our plate. Served with a tomato medley, and confit garlic, this easy dish could be jazzed up with anchovies if you happen to’d like.
Charred Octopus
I really like that the octopus is served with potatoes and olive tapenade! Whereas I believed the octopus itself may have been a bit extra tender, the dish as a complete was scrumptious.
Rotisserie Rooster
One among solely 4 giant plates at present on the menu, the rotisserie rooster is to not be missed! The rooster was extremely moist and served with three sauces, charred lemon, and a mountain of crispy shoestring fries.
Dama Flight
For dessert we acquired the flight as a result of….why not? The flight got here with Pacific Banana Co. Sundae, Rice Pudding, S’mores Sundae, and scorching churros with caramel sauce. My favourite was the Pacific Banana Co. Sundae with Straus soft-serve ice cream, buttered bananas, caramel, and peanuts.
All of this meals simply fed all 5 of us and solely got here out to $98.60 per particular person – together with tip! That’s a hell of a deal for such an beautiful eating expertise. Study extra at Damafashiondistrict.com.
