La Duni Latin Kitchen And Coffee Studio In Northpark Mall

If you only go here for the coffee you're already making a good decision. They have a good selection and, I cannot emphasize this enough, it's all delicious. All of them. They also have baked goods which look beautiful, although I have yet to have any. I've had a couple of their main dishes and every single one of them have been flavorsome and tasty. The ambiance is not stuffy and the people have always been courteous and friendly. Go, it's a great place.

In sure the full moon had something to do with it, but the wow factor usually provided by la Duni just wasn't there this time. I'm still going back. EDIT: Kudos to La Duni for their response!! Looking back I can admit the review was a little vague. First, let me say we only eat there when visiting Dallas. As a matter of fact the Baking studio made our wedding cake. In regards to my visit last time at North Park Center, I felt the chicken was under seasoned, but cooked perfectly. Its been my one and only dish since the first time we dined there. My statement to missing the wow factor was solely based on that. That evening everything else was 5 stars.The service was excellent, and man my cafe latte was delicious. I'm changing my original 4 star review to 5 now, because you guy's and gal's deserve it.

Went to the coffee bar (opens at 9AM) and ordered a French Cappuccino. The coffee menu alone is impressive, especially if you like more traditional-style espresso drinks! I also grabbed a “jarcake” from the refrigerated section, because the restaurant hadn’t opened yet (opens at 11AM). Their Cuatro Leches cake is really good! If I lived closer to North Park, I would regularly go here for coffee and dessert.

The food is very tasty and the ambiance it’s really nice. It’s an overview of Latin American cuisine. The have a mix platter for appetizers which has empanadas, sweet plantains, cheese balls and tostones (also plantain but fried). They have all kind of food, from tacos, to chorizo burgers, chicken salads, salmon, and others. The best part I should say it’s the desserts the triple chocolate Venezuelan cake it’s my favorite, followed by the cuatro leches cake. Drinks are OK, they have a great wine selection, and have lemonade with club soda which is my fav. Service has always been good, and it can be pricey. But it’s worth it.

What mall? This is like a hometown neighborhood place one would walk down to with the family on a typical afternoon to sit on the patio, eat, drink, and watch the kids play on the lawn. A casual friendly atmosphere with good food and good drinks. Think of the cakes separately! These are seriously professionally hardcore beautiful and delicious. Take these home and eat like royalty or take these to a fancy party and people with think you are royalty.

La Duni is a successful "fusion" of Bakery, sweets shop and restaurant. It features a menu that straddles Mexican, Cuban and Latin Ametican flavors and ingredients. An extensive dessert list featuring tres lèches layer cakes is fantastic. The bar serves the expected tequilas and mojitos, but also exotic craft cocktails with ingredients like panela water, Venezuelan rums, passion fruit and mango.

I am not from the area but someone mentioned this place had good food. I ordered some empanadas to go. They were outstanding. Best I've ever had. As a Puerto Rican, I have had my share of empanadas. I also ordered the gaucho garlic bread. Which surprised the server and the manager who both said they had no such thing. When I showed them their own menu, they were both shocked. And again, told me they didn't have that. I received it with my too go order and it was very good. If the people working the knew about it, they could recommend it because it was delicious. Over all, good food, not so great service.

Met a friend for lunch at 11:45 on a Monday. We were able to be seated right away. The menu has lots of Latin-influenced options and that includes vegetarian and gluten-free. There is an extensive coffee, hot chocolate, and dessert menu. I opted for a side-dish lunch, which included a cold Red Quinoa salad with tart cherries and pecans (just the right amount savory-sweetness) and the Grilled Broccoli and Asparagus (garlicky, buttery and yummy, even though it had little asparagus in it.) My friend chose the Three salad option and said it was delicious. For dessert, we shared the cobbler (gluten-free) with ice cream - very good, but not your typical cobbler. We also ordered fancy-schmancy coffees that were pre-sweetened. I was able to get mine decaffeinated, and my friend ordered hers with soymilk. It was a great meal, and we didn't feel rushed. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful.
