The restaurant did not meet my expectations after I had heard so much about it. The server was a little too pushy/eager for us to order. We barely had the menus which have a lot to read on them as the dishes are unusual and wanted us to order. She came by two more times before we were ready. Note that we had a 5:15 PM reservation and were out by 6:45 PM. We tried four dishes, which were very good, but not outstanding except for the rabbit stew. Each dish seemed too salty. The Bangkok Street noodles seemed too mushy, like they had been cooked too long. Our table had one candle on it, and I needed to use my phone light to read the menu.

Dali is a small family-run place. It is just a hidden gem in Sommerville. The food and service were outstanding, we could not have a better celebration of our 2 birthdays. We return to Dali every time we have a chance. Lovely place and very affordable.
