The Dara, a nearly three-year-old Thai restaurant in Fells Point, is temporarily dark after a small fire on Wednesday forced the popular spot to close until further notice. Staff and management are now sorting through the damage and figuring out what it will take to reopen.
According to The Baltimore Sun, officials described the blaze as a small fire, and the paper published scene photos by Kim Hairston. The Sun reported that the restaurant will remain closed while the situation is evaluated.
