Dija Mara - Oceanside (CA)

4 /5 donny blaze: I really enjoyed this place! But the experience could have been a little better. First id like to tip my hat to the chef. The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was a 10 out of 10. Exquisite. But, the service lacked a little. We didnt see her much. I wanted drink refills and didnt get them. It was our 19th year anniversary and my wifes birthday so I was hoping the experience could have been better. The dining area is rather small but that was OK. Parking was easy to find but could be limited due to the street location. Ill definitely come back and try the experience again. (Try the eggplant!)

5 /5 Ankita Aparajita: We had a wonderful date night dinner, small delicious mouthwatering plates! The pumpkin-vanilla-coconut dessert blew my mind.. even though Im not a dessert person! Ambience and service was exactly perfection!

5 /5 S. Davis: 100% recommend, add it to your bucket list, take your friends and family. It’s a great restaurant. Food is delicious, here’s why: - flavor combination and balance is spot on and the dishes are great if your looking for dishes/flavors you won’t find at most other restaurants - great variety of dishes without having an overwhelming menu. I’d say there is something for everyone. There are lighter dishes like the roti and papaya salad and heavier and spicy ones like the eggplant (chefs kiss, fr). - portions are good, as in, not too small, but also not too large. We had just enough of a dish and had room to keep trying other dishes. - ok ok the dessert is perfection, please get it My favs so far have been the roti with both dipping sauces (one is spicy), the eggplant (spicy), the beef tartar, and the ayam penyet (fried chicken dish). The papaya salad was delicious and refreshing, however I was expecting sweet, orange papaya and I think this used green papaya, perhaps both? Good, bright lime flavor. Make reservations in advance, street parking should be easy to find. Bar is for walk-in’s, but it stays pretty busy here. Happy dining!

4 /5 ForOurDog: Choose the short ribs if you are looking for a flavor-filled meal, the Pad Thai for consistency, and absolutely order the cheesecake for dessert. You can skip the appetizer, it fell flat for us. We got there at opening and it was loud inside.

5 /5 Tiffany P: We walked by shortly after they opened and they welcomed us graciously even without a reservation. It’s very clear though that it’s best to make a reservation for the future, as this is a very busy restaurant. The staff were very kind, and the food service was quick! Food was excellent and filling, and in my opinion, the prices were fair. Overall a great time. Just a note, I think I would try a different skewer in the future because while the tuna was good, I think it lacked a little flavor compared to the other dishes we ordered.
