A strange experience in a nice way.. Entering in the restaurant completely blind as it's very pitch black inside, the staff will lead you to your table. Being in the dark and unable to see anything, I felt I appreciate more of the taste and the texture of the food.. Nice food, nice music and great service.. and the staffs... More

If possible try and do this experience somewhere other than here. I'd done this previously in Berlin and found it one of the most enriching and amazing experiences ever, the food was fantastic. Unfortunately the one in Bangkok just doesn't come anywhere near that. The food was pretty bad, we hardly ate any of it and had to go out... More

I went here for my girlfriend's birthday and enjoyed it thoroughly. The concept allows blind people to have good jobs and at the same time it allows you to feel what its like to be blind. Theres absolutely no light and the menu is a surprise. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out what you are eating... More

I had already tried the concept before in Europe and was bit sceptic at the beginning. But once I entered the restaurant and was seated, I immediately felt very comfortable and well. The restaurant has a very unique atmosphere which differs from other dark restaurants. There is music, delicious food, nice waiters and everyone in the rooms seems to enjoy... More

Dine in the Dark, the name gives you a hint that you will be dining in an unusual way, in total darkness. when you arrive you have to deposit your mobile phone or anything else that could emit some form of light. the menu is a surprise , you are just given 3 choices , Veg , Thai , International....

I would recommend this to ones who lean towards an experience dinner than a value meal. There were 3 choices for each course (included veg option) which comes around to 1200 THB per person. I think this place is a little overpriced but worth the experience. Waiter/waitress are all blind and It is a good support for these unfortunate ones.... More

DID is a must try experience. Dining in a pitch black room, slowly finding your way around the table, tasting every flavor, focussing on the conversations with friends and suddenly recognizing things you haven't before - amazing experience. Overall, the darkness can be a bit overwhelming - I felt claustrophobic - and by the time you leave the relief at... More

This is a uniquest restaurant that I ever dine before in my life. DID's providing more than a darkness restaurant. They gave us a new experience with the private guide as the blind for each table. He will guide you how they are living without the light, how you can dine in the dark. That's very impressive when you learning... More
