TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin DASHA restaurant review

Hi folks, we ended up visiting this place on the advice from a local friend. The chef is the same guy who used to run the Temptation. Located at the casino by Cupecoy, right across the street from Cliffs. What can I say? The place is very nice and the food was absolutely delicious! All 4 of us really enjoyed the meal. The only negative part was - our waiter…. He was wearing….adidas sweatpants and had very very “reserved” if I can call it that attitude. No emotions. He brings the food, we say thank you, he nods his head or just said a short Enjoy. Like he was a robot… weird. Our friends even made a joke that he is probably the owner’s son who was told to come to work and didn’t want to be there….. who knows…
Regardless- I would highly recommend this place!

What did you all have, kind of menu selection, pricing and is a SC added?

"the same guy who used to run Temptation"??? That would be Dino Jagtiani. Is it Dino, or a chef who used to work for him? And what did you have?

He was a chef, working for Dino. Then he had Sublime. Think his name is Surendra Lal Das.

Linda--Ok, thanks.

Menu selection was pretty good. We had multiple dishes, I honestly don’t remember what exactly since my short term memory isn’t that great, lol! But I remember that everything and everyone was very happy with the food. As for the menu- they have a great website, just google dasha restaurant sxm.

WOW! I just looked at their menu and prices are much higher than any gourmet restaurant in Grand Case. There most places serve rack of lamb for around 27 not 62.

Are you sure that's US dollars? Makes sense if it's florins, or whatever the Dutch side currency is now.

If you hit "translate" and English, the rack of lamb is $46, with two sides and the sauce of your choice. Salmon, red snapper and mahi mahi, $26, again with two sides and sauce of your choice. The website is kind of oddly arranged, but prices seem somewhat comparable.

I'm trying to figure out, is this the exact spot where Temptation was?

I think so. It's easily visible along the side of the casino - entrance to the right of the casino doors.

OK thanks.

Exact no but general vicinity. You can miss it. Pull in and park at Starz. Walk up to the casino. There is Thai Savannah, Dasha, and Bunz and Meat.

I remember - I did have Mahi mahi and it was excellent! Wife is still talking about their pasta, she said it’s the best she had in her life! Prices are on par with most places.

Kim--ok, thanks
