Delhi Dhaba
Arlington, Virginia, between Courthouse and Virginia Square (sorry for the local Metro references) has three Indian restaurants. I'm going to focus on my favorite of the three: Delhi Dhaba (the other two are The Delhi Club and Tandoori Nights - both are quite good, but in much different ways! Stay tuned for reviews of them in upcoming posts).
A Dhaba, in India and Pakistan, is a the South Asian equivilant of a truck stop or roadside diner. Located on Wilson Blvd., Delhi Dhaba isn't quite a truck stop - not nearly enough parking - but does have a friendly charm about it.
First off, there's no wait service. You order directly from in front of the steam table and take the food to the dining area (in warmer weather, there's an outdoor area). The dining area features Bollywood movies on two screens at no extra cost!
On weekends, the steam table becomes a buffet where you can get all you can eat for a very reasonable price.
I've eaten at the Dhaba for lunch, dinner, buffet lunch, carry out and delivery. Selecting from a wide variety of meat (chicken, lamb, goat) and vegetarian dishes, I've never been disappointed.
One of the best, and most authentic Indian experiences in the Washington area.
(Note: there are also two other locations in Bethesda, MD and Washington, DC).
