Dalia’s Caribbean Kitchen

I have been wanting to try Dalia's ever since I saw it after stopping at Culture Coffee House and we finally made it. Dalia greeted us and instantly made us feel at home. She gave us a sampler plate to try different options. I got the curry chicken and my husband got the jerk chicken. Both meals were amazing! We complimented it with the pineapple iced tea which is an absolute must! As the sign says out front, "Certifiably Delicious"! We can't wait to go back.

DALIA'S IS DEFINTELY A HIDDEN GEM. We visited Dalia's for the first time during our recent visit to Youngstown. The owner, Dalia Edwards was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. She bright is out food within minutes of ordering and checked back on us throughout the meal. We ordered the Brown Chicken dinner, Civiche Swai fish, and Oxtail. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. It was mildly spicy, which we liked. Portions are a good size, so we were pretty full after our meals. FyI... get there early in the day or order ahead because she does sell or of her popular items after 3-4pm

A Caribbean gem you don’t want to miss! If you're looking for an authentic Caribbean dining experience that warms both the stomach and the soul, Dalia's Restaurant delivers on every front. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality set the tone — genuine, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. First-timers are in for a treat: the complimentary samples are a brilliant touch, giving newcomers a flavorful preview before committing to the menu's highlights. It's a confident move that speaks to how good the food actually is. We started with the pineapple iced tea — refreshing, subtly sweet, and the perfect companion to the bold flavors ahead. The red snapper was cooked beautifully, flaky and well-seasoned, while the BBQ jerk chicken brought just the right heat and smokiness that Caribbean cuisine is celebrated for. The shrimp rounded out our table with a satisfying finish. Don't skip the sides. The mac and cheese is a standout — rich, creamy, and comfort food at its finest. Dalia's isn't just a meal; it's an experience. We'll absolutely be back.

Very nice and clean homie vibes here at this delicious restaurant. They first asked if we had been there before and we had not. So they brought us out a sample platter each with all their dinner menu items on it and some sides plus a little sample of the Pineapple Iced tea! This was a very nice surprise because we planned on grabbing an appetizer sampler or something like that plus we couldn’t wait to eat, it smelled so delicious inside. So the fact that they read our minds was refreshing to say the least. We were passing through the area and I wanted something yummy, affordable and new. I’m so glad we decided to stop. I got the Bar-Jerk Chicken dinner and my bf got the Curry Chicken dinner with Mac n cheese. It was phenomenal! The flavors are all there no salt and pepper was needed for us and the heat 🌶️ was very good. The portions are big and worth it. The Pineapple Iced tea was on point! I suggest it, you won’t be disappointed if you like Pineapple. 🍍 We will be back again! Thank you! 💜

We were just driving by and decided to stop at Ms. Dalia’s Restaurant, and I’m so grateful we did! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was relaxing, welcoming, and peaceful. The restaurant was quiet, immaculately clean, and had such a comfortable atmosphere. The hospitality was truly incredible. Ms. Dalia went above and beyond by bringing us a sample plate of food along with fresh pineapple juice, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The curry chicken was flavorful and tender, the jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the oxtails were rich, savory, and cooked to perfection. The sweet plantains were amazing, and the cabbage was crisp, fresh, and full of flavor. Even though we live 3 hours and 40 minutes away, this place is worth the drive. We’ll definitely be back! If you’re passing through or looking for authentic, delicious food with outstanding hospitality, Ms. Dalia’s Restaurant is a must-visit.
