Wonderful!! Just slightly below the best Thai I ever had -- two weeks earlier in Las Vegas. The pad see ew with chicken and pineapple fried rice with shrimp were both delicious! The server was excellent and the ambiance was perfect! It's a bit off the beaten path and worth the extra walk! read more

I visited here for the first time today for an early dinner and I had a great experience. There was nearby off-street paid parking that I chose. There was at least one nearby parking lot as another option. The overall service was great. The staff were polite and helpful. My friend and I were not rushed out. I ordered the red shrimp curry and it was very delicious. I also ordered the Thai tea tiramisu which I also enjoyed. I plan to return in the future to try other dishes. read more

I ordered the chicken khao soi, as recommended by several Yelpers--and it did not disappoint. The yellow curry was absolutely scrump-didlee-umptious! Creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more chicken. It had a gentle kick--noticeable but manageable, even for someone who doesn't usually go for spicy food. Solid 9/10. We also tried the crab rangoon, five per order. They were bite-sized, crisp on the outside, creamy inside. I'm pretty sure it was imitation crab, but honestly, still tasty--especially with the dipping sauce. Another 9/10. Service was good overall, and the ambiance was nice. I did knock off one star, though, because the server never took our drink orders--we ended up with only warm tap water. read more

Dahla - Khao Soi Chicken - Thai Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Back once again and this time I brought a new friend. Hopefully, he's writing his own review but mine is pretty consistent with my experiences here. Tom greeted me ever so pleasantly upon my arrival. It's good to be a regular here because I was so graciously treated to the new soft shell crab appetizer which was perfectly friend and super tasty when coupled with the sweet chilli dipping sauce. I ordered my regular Khao Soi with shrimp as an entree and my friend had what appeared to be drunken noodles with chicken. He was very happy with his choice. The vibe was lovely and chill as always, which makes it a great date night spot. I'll be back because it's one of my favorite ever Thai spots! read more

The best Thai I have had in awhile. Amazing that it was in New Orleans. Had superb deep fried shrimp over steamed veggies. The shrimps are huge. Pricing is affordable at $15 for this appetizer. My main was excellent. Stir fried mixed vegggies with meat (can't remember if I got pork or chicken). Their rice was really good too! Beautiful / simple interiors. read more

In town for work and , trusting Yelp, swung in for Thai. As usual, Yelp didn't disappoint. I got the drunken noodles with Shrimp which were listed as mid level spice.

This is such a beautiful place offering great Thai cuisine! As we sat at a nearby restaurant we noticed the happy hour sign and ended up coming back to the area next day to have a drink and conversation. Our servers were very attentive to us and checked on us the breeze on the patio was amazing. Our seafood salad and crispy shrimp dumplings pared well with our drinks and breeze. There was a special on soft shell crab that we were too full to get but definitely worth a stop in! read more

Dahla is such a beautiful, cozy gem! The space is small and intimate with outdoor seating that sets the perfect vibe. The staff was super welcoming and attentive from the moment I walked in. I ordered the spicy drunken noodles and they were very well seasoned. My only change would be having the veggies sautéed a bit longer for a tender bite. I am already plotting my return for happy hour and to try their dessert menu! read more

Dahla - Spicy Drunken Noodles with Chicken - Thai Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Have tried drunken chicken and tofu, pad Thai, green and panang curry and a few other pad based dishes. The taste never disappoints. Ingredients are fresh, in adequate quantity, and overall taste is mild but flavorful (even when labeled spicy). Their tofu is always cooked well and present in adequate quantities in dishes, which is a pleasant surprise. Delivery and tableside services are efficient. Ambiance is pleasant. Prices are fair given location and quality of dishes. Dahla, undoubtedly, has the best Thai in downtown New Orleans. read more

Service was spot on and ambiance was delightful with soft lighting! Very clean establishment. Food was not up to par for us. Crab Rangoon did not use real crab but was cooked well and was acceptable for my daughter. My Tom Kah soup was way too sweet and seemed short on coconut milk. Chicken in the pad Thai was dry/tough and appeared to have been cooked the day before. The noodles/sauce also seemed like they were old and not made to order; rather gloopy. My daughter ordered the seafood pad Thai and her shrimp were truly over cooked and tough. We discussed a possible second visit and decided that neither of us would return. For dinner, fresh food should be prepared. We were the only ones there and with the exception of a few to-go orders, they were not busy so there's no excuse for serving substandard Pad Thai. read more

We were in NOLA for a trip and were craving Thai food! Luckily, Dahla was nearby us and we decided to check this place out! Walking in, the restarting was so beautiful! It was not too loud, a perfect place for date night ;) We got drinks (I cannot remember what drinks we got, but I remember we all loved ours)! My friends ordered drunken noodles and I got Khao Soi Chicken. Both dishes were AMAZING. Enjoy these photos from my digital camera, thank you to our server for taking a photo of us too (not shown)! Check this place out if you're in NOLA! read more

Walked in and the decor creates an incredible ambiance - I felt like I was transported to another country (in a good way!) Servers were very attentive to our needs and our order came out quickly. The food was delicious - pineapple fried rice and pad Thai were very tasty. The Panang curry could have been thicker consistency-wise, but the flavor was perfect. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for some good Thai food in New Orleans! read more

Dahla - Pad Thai, pinapple fried rice, Panang curry - Thai Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I got stood up by my date, but the ambience was so nice, I didn't much care. Stunning chandeliers made of metallic leaves and stylish modern decor give it a zen, peaceful vibe. Props to their interior decorator! I got the drunken noodles with tofu, and they were delicious. Nice chewy noodles and extra crispy tofu, and the spice level was just what I asked for. I greatly enjoyed it and finished everything. If I had to nitpick, I would have liked a little more salt, but that was easily fixed with a salt shaker. Also, the tofu could have used more sauce. It is usually tossed in it along with the noodles and it kinda seemed like this was fried and added after? Still delicious, though. I just made sure I got some tofu and some noodles in every bite to evenly distribute that saucey flavor. Service was friendly and my food came out quickly. This place is right en route to the PO which I go to regularly, so I'll definitely go back again. I want to try the curries. read more

My coworkers and I decided to dine here after work based on a couple of local recommendations. Just a few blocks from our office, Dahla is an easy, comfortable walk. Upon arriving shortly after 6pm on a Thursday, we were grateful to find plenty of seating at this small, intimate restaurant. We were seated immediately and were able to take advantage of the happy hour drinks. The interior of the restaurant is warm, inviting and friendly - perfect atmosphere for a casual dinner with easy conversation. I ordered a lychee mojito and it was not my favorite. There were crushed lychee in the bottom of the drink and it's served with sippy straws so it was a bit tough to drink. I've never seen a lychee mojito offered and in retrospect, I think the combination should not exist. On to the food! We ordered the crab ragoon and OMG these are really, really good. I may have been a bit too obsessed with them because I ended up eating 4 of them on my own. I love the shape of the little crispy pockets and the filling - sooo good! Based on the server's recommendation, I ordered the Crispy Duck Basil - Crispy duck, zucchini, carrots, onions, Thai basil, green & red peppers. This dish was very, very good. The duck was perfectly crispy and although it was a bit dry, the sauce was a nice accompaniment. The vegetables were a bit overcooked for my liking. The sauce is good but not the most versatile flavor profile -- it could have had a bit more contrast of flavors. One of the complaints of the table is the dishes are not spicy enough even when we ordered dishes with 3-4 chili peppers on the menu or increased the level to "Thai hot". The server told us to order 2x or 3x Thai hot in the future. A bit misleading, but I digress. We were offered the hot sauce trio, containing a few varieties to add more spice to our dishes but I wish they could just cook our dishes with a more realistic spice temperature scale. Overall a small complaint in the grand scheme of things. Service was quiet but great all around. The Thai competition seems to be strong in downtown New Orleans. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here with my husband and two colleagues. They were quite busy but we were lucky to get the last table on the patio. I really enjoyed my curry panang dish! Excellent flavor. Had the edamame to start and crispy tofu (4 out of 5 on that one). Everyone else really seemed to enjoy theirs too. Would go back! read more

I recently visited this Thai restaurant with a friend and had an amazing time. They have a daily happy hour from 4:30-6:30 PM, offering $5 off their signature cocktails. We tried the Dahla 75, their twist on the classic French 75, and enjoyed it so much that we ordered it again. Although I usually opt for red curry, I decided to try the yellow curry based on our waiter's recommendation, and I was delighted with the choice! The waiter also suggested getting a side of rice to enjoy with the leftover curry after finishing the noodles, which was a fantastic tip. The ambiance is lovely, making it perfect for a date night. The staff was attentive and regularly checked in on us. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Note it's located in the CBD so be prepared to pay for parking. read more

Nice quiet place with great food and service. The Crab Rangoon are absolutely delicious. The best we have ever had without a doubt. We both had fried rice. My pineapple fried rice was very good and my husband raved about the spicy basil fried rice. Couldn't try any dessert because we were so full. Definitely recommend. read more

Tried a new Thai restaurant yesterday. Arrived for dinner around 630 without reservations and was seated quickly. Their website has a resy link but they must not be using it currently because no availability listed for the next 3 months. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a lychee martini and my fried got the lychee mojito. The mojito was A LOT better than the martini. I really wanted the drunken noodles but decided to try something different so I got the volcano fish. It was a fried snapper filet over steamed veggies with sweet chili sauce with rice on the side. It was exactly as describer and while I enjoyed my meal I wouldnt get it again. My friend got the red curry with tofu and enjoyed her dish. We shared the ube cheesecake for dessert and both enjoyed it. All in all we enjoyed our dinner and I would come back if in the area but the location is not ideal for me and nothing stood out enough to make this my go to Thai spot read more

My work friends and I eat Dahla at least once a week, sometimes more. It's delicious and consistently excellent, and the employees are lovely people. I always get the tom yum soup (theirs is the best I've ever had, and I really consider my self a connoisseur of tom yum) and spicy drunken noodle or pad woon sen (glass noodle). The curry is also great. If you love Thai food, this place is a must-try! ***They are closed in November so they can visit family in Thailand, they'll reopen December 2*** read more

Dahla - Pad Kra Pao Khai Delicious!!! - Thai Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I have been looking for a Thai restaurant and Dahla did not disappoint. This is a small restaurant nestled right in the CBD the inside is beautiful and the ambiance is so chill and mellow. We went during happy hour and I started with the strawberry lemon drop. It was pretty good very strong lemon taste and it was definitely not a weak drink. For the appetizer, we ordered the fried shrimp dumplings. I really enjoyed these as dumplings are one of my favorite foods, and I had never had them fried. 7/10. Then I went with my go to entree chicken pad Thai. The pad Thai noodles were full of big pieces of chicken, had a great flavor, the noodles were a little over cooked and I loved the spicy chili sauce served on the side but overall a delicious dish. Definitely a restaurant that I look forward to going back to especially for their happy hour! read more

Sometimes good things come in small packages. For such a small place this kitchen is cranking out big flavors. The drinks are fantastic. The food is really good. And the Ube cheesecake? Get it! The dining room is well appointed and perfect for a late dinner like I had or a date night. This was part of their Coolinary menu so priced very well (except for the cocktail) and I left satiated. Definitely would recommend and would come back. Only reason for the 4 stars is that I ordered the Khao Soi Chicken but in all fairness the server did offer to bring me the Khao Soi after I had devoured the Pad Kra Pao Kai lol which I politely declined. I plan to update on my next visit. read more

This is one of my best dining experiences while in NOLA. The food tasted authentic and the portions of the dishes were fair for the price. One star off because the Tom Yum soup was way too small for the cost and the additional $3 fee for a small scoop of rice is excessive. We should get a small bowl for $3 like you do in other Thai restaurants. read more

Revamped Thai Ocha; New name, same owner. Located near the Superdome, next to Willa Jean. Street parking. It's a small restaurant but also have outdoor seating available. The interior decor is simple but the gold leaves chandeliers are the finishing touches to the beautiful restaurant. We ordered a lot for two people because of course, I wanted to try a little bit of everything. We had the crispy calamari, shrimp tom yum, papaya salad, spicy drunken noodles, basil fried rice, and mango sticky rice. Everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were well curated. Some dishes were a tad spicy but nothing overwhelming. It's a good type of spice, "kick". But then again, everyone's taste buds are different, so maybe spice levels may be requested for adjustments. Service was superb as well, considering how busy they were. Everyone seemed to work well together with smiling faces and kindness. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the noise. It was extremely loud because there was one large party. So, of course, every other table had to talk loudly or scream over one another. With it being such a small restaurant, I'm assuming it'll still be loud even without large parties. Besides that, this is easily one of our favorite Thai restaurants in New Orleans. read more

We visited this place on a Wednesday evening. We were a larger group of 8, we called ahead to ensure they could seat us prior to walking over. Service- it started off a little rocky. I felt with our larger party we weren't welcomed. The restaurant is very small, so I get it. We also had 4 kids with us who were very well behaved during the entire restaurant visit, but I feel they are catering more to adults as the restaurant was rather dark. Service ended up being better. I think only two men were running the entire place. They were both making the drinks and waiting on the tables. They were hustling, but the drinks took FOREVER. Food- it was all delicious. This is the reason for the four stars. Quality and pricing was just right. Food came out piping hot, the rolls were cooked so perfectly crispy that the kids couldn't get enough of them. Overall, nice place. But not family friendly. read more
