Dalia opened on April 2, 2026, at 429 West Broadway in South Boston. (caughtinsouthie.com) The project is the latest concept from Broadway Restaurant Group and is led by executive chef and culinary director Nick (Nicholas) Dixon, who has run neighborhood projects in South Boston and been a culinary director for the group. (boston.com) (nantucketwinefestival.com) The restaurant centers its cooking around imported Josper grills — a single machine that combines a charcoal grill and an oven to deliver very high heat and a pronounced smoky flavor while keeping embers sealed inside. (boston.com) (jospergrill.com) The menu mixes small plates and larger entrées, with tapas and shareables priced roughly $9–$22 and main courses in the $45–$170 range; opening dishes called out in early coverage include a wagyu rib cap ($22) and a charcoal-cut calamari served in an Iberico-pork and garlic-soy sauce ($17). (boston.com) (diningandcooking.com) Dalia offers multiple paellas in two sizes — including a Valencia paella with chicken, chorizo, and shellfish — and the kitchen has a dedicated three-person paella team to manage those high-attention dishes. (boston.com) (bostonmagazine.com) The dining room was built by Assembly Design Studio and features a large skylight, tasseled lamps, fireside tables and an open kitchen with the wood-fired cooking suite positioned at the center of the room — a setup chef Dixon described as being “like a Ferrari” for the kitchen.
