Dabba

Dabba is hidden up one of Chester’s many side streets and is an ‘if you know, you know’ type of restaurant. Those that do know are flocking here, and word is spreading, because this is a unique dining experience with an exciting South Indian concept. Family run by husband and wife Stephen and Rekha with their son, Dabba emerged during Covid and only now has the restaurant been fully transformed.

Dabba is an authentic, inviting, and exciting restaurant where the family have new creations constantly emerging, and the food is fresh, flavourful and intriguing. Which is what makes this experience that we have created thanks the Rekha and Stephen and their love of sociable, fun dining unmissable. We are lucky enough to be able to combine the food tour and the tasting menu concept and offer it exclusively to you out of Dabba.
