BIG SANGA ENERGY at Dari Korean Café

YUGE sandwiches ahead. Bigger than your school lunchbox ever saw. Cos, size matters.
Dari Korean Café 27-29 Acland St, Melbourne /  The toastie wonderland.


If you find yourself in a city-based rut, it’s time to abandon the working lunch and broaden your dining/snacking/sipping horizons for a good feed somewhere sun-soaked (now that it is SPRING and all). In that very predicament on a marathon-length Uni day, a girlfriend and I retreated to Dari Korean Cafe at my starving behest. Nestled on Hardware Lane, Dari is a green-hued sandwich bar with a Korean slant that emanates all sortsa BIG SANGA ENERGY. 

There’s a menu smothered with VISUALS (which we love), so you can gauge what exactly will be landing on your plate. Unsure about you, but menus with visual aid are a godsend for disaster orderers like myself. I had a good trawl through the clipboard pad to see what buttered my bread. 

Opting for Dari’s signature, outrageously oozy Mama’s Toast grilled sandwich was a big, fat win. Mama’s Toast comes replete with egg, ham, melted American cheese, crispy cos lettuce and a finger-lickable Mama’s Special Tartar Sauce. The sauce is homemade and well worth a trip back for. Heed this caution, however: come hungry, or struggle bigtime - these sangas are for empty, post-3-hour-tutorial stomachs only. 

Over on the drinks menu, there are all sorts of dizzyingly wonderful libations to cheers with. Although I’m not at all opposed to the mid-uni-day happy hour, we decided to go for the non-alco refresher of Korean Kombucha. Being a reluctant passenger on the whole buch bandwagon, I was pleasantly surprised to adore this sip. Fruity, superbly fizzy and sangria-esque in colour, this would be a welcomed addish to my fridge. (Pls bottle it up and let me take it home by the gallon). 

Dari is open for lunch, dinner and even has an ingenious ‘order online’ tab to ensure your feast is waiting for you when you walk in the door (if for some tragic reason your working lunch is totally unavoidable).
