F Dawa’s At first glance, Dawa’s looks like any other coffee house in any other quiet neighborhood of any other city. Men and women sit hunched over laptops sipping coffee, pausing occasionally to savor a forkful of something on a plate. A large, white-painted, wooden table in the front window holds miniature pots of freshly picked flowers, which are dwarfed by terra cotta pots brimming with home-fried potato chips. The menu on the website seems simple enough—pea risotto with farm-fresh petits pois, basil oil and wild greens. Brioche bread with organic rhubarb and strawberry compote. Steel-cut oatmeal with house-made granola and fruit. But the titles are merely words. And you might want to browse what is referred to as the ethnic menu for some of the most delectable selections. In Woodside, Dawa’s is not just serving up beautiful renditions of New American cuisine, but some re-imagined versions of nomadic Himalayan classics. JULY 2016 I BOROMAG.COM I 7
