Super impressed with this restaurant!! The food was fantastic, and for what you pay I felt like I got a lot of food! The drinks were delicious - had a chai and a coffee. The deserts were decadent and perfectly not too sweet. In all dishes, the spices (both in the "spicy" and "well-seasoned" senses) was perfectly spot on. Our server was nice as could be, so friendly and a big smile the whole time serving us! The food was gone so fast I only got pics of the desserts.

Cute place. Food was good. Food took a while. So be prepared for the pace. We ordered from the lunch prix fixe menu and off the regular menu as well. Will be back.

Bright, airy, open and comfortable w nice dining views of the adjacent parkway. I really like the combination of culinary flavors and traditions that come together here. The quality of the ingredients, the thoughtful nature of the seasonings, always leaves me wanting to have just one more dish added to our order even though I know I couldn’t possibly finish everything. Bring friends to share plates is my recommendation, and explore the menu w pleasure. Service has always been friendly for our lunches and we have occasionally stopped by in the morning to order espresso bevs from the walk up window on our rides as their beans are solid. Enjoy.

Had the curry burger from their brunch menu with fries. I added an egg to it so the total came to about 22. The lamb meat patty was SUPER thick and seasoned so well. It was a very hearty burger and all the flavors complimented each other. I added really enjoyed the sauce that came on the side because it was very creamy. Fries were super crispy and tasty. Will definitely come back again.

Da Gama delivers an incredible brunch experience with bold flavors and a sophisticated, artsy atmosphere. Highlights included the French toast with blackberries and pistachios, paratha tofu and chorizo tacos, and the Prego. Pair your meal with a chai tea, mimosa, or their crisp filtered water. Service was exceptional, especially from our waiter Daniel. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend. The food is fresh, absolutely delicious with explosive flavors. Something for every eater picky or not.

Extraordinary cuisine. We arrived and had a mixup on reservation, my fault, and we were taken care of with kindness and the utmost consideration. The Hostess, Julia, and Manager, Dionna were over the top fabulous. Now for the food: Mahla Kofta is one of my favorite Indian dishes and I try it whenever we go out for Indian food and without a shadow of a doubt their Milho Kofta Curry is beyond 5 stars on the magic magnificence scale!
