Dalida

San Francisco, CA

Dalida celebrates the hospitality, culture, and flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean. Menus are flexible, plant-forward, and designed to be shared. The team sources locally, reduces waste through full ingredient use, and collaborates with artists. Influenced by Istanbul’s diverse legacy, Dalida tells a story of connection—Turkish, Greek, Armenian, Jewish, Arabic, and Persian—rooted in San Francisco’s welcoming spirit.
