" I was thrilled to discover Dalaya. The food is unique, rich in flavor, and very authentic. The staff was busy, but they provided decent service; the view by the creek adds to the whole estate. The only downside was the limited menu for the day, but I’ll be back to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a quaint space right by the river! I love how comfortable the atmosphere is. Tried their special curry dish, and it was outstanding! Authenticity is definitely their strong suit. Only downside to my experience was that the service was just a touch slow, but other than that, highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much hype about Dalaya, we decided to pay a visit. My scale was set high due to the reviews, and I was not disappointed! The staff was welcoming, and the food was absolute perfection in terms of flavor. Only critique is the limited options for side dishes. Definitely looking forward to another meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic dining spot! The authenticity of the dishes truly blew me away; you can really taste the love and tradition in every bite.

" Visiting from out of town, I stumbled upon Dalaya and couldn't have been more pleased! The food had such an authentic feel to it; I tried the Khao Soi, which reminded me of my time in Chiang Mai. The service was warm and welcoming, making my dining experience extra special. Highly recommend this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, and they were largely met! The catfish curry was out of this world. However, I experienced a longer wait for my food than I anticipated. While the staff were friendly, I think they could use a bit more help during busy hours. Nonetheless, the flavors and authenticity of the food really stood out! " (*Curated Review*)
