Excellent food, huge menu and great staff. The ambience is surprising for a strip mall restaurant. I think this is the best overall restaurant south of old town.

Had an amazing buffet experience with my friends who are tasting Indian food for the first time. They got options to explore.

A longtime favorite of ours, Dishes of India never disappoints. Both the food and service are wonderful for dine in or take out. We love the lunch buffet as well.

Can't say enough good things about Dishes of India. We do to-go orders here often and the food is always prepared on time and tastes amazing. Honestly, we've never ordered anything that made us unhappy. Eating in the restaurant is just as enjoyable. Friendly, helpful staff and always an incredible presentation. We love Dishes of India and hope it's here in the neighborhood for a long time.
Iam not Indian,so do not know how it should taste, but IOrdered Biryani after few months, tasted horrible, taste of burned onions and chicken.The quality of the biryani was suppperr poor

First timers here. We have never eaten Indian food before mostly because i was afraid of too much spice. I was so wrong. The food was delicious. Yes you can get some dishes very spicy. We did not. Very flavorful. We are adding another cuisine to our

I'm disappointed they raised their prices AGAIN on their lunch bowls. $21 per person is just ridiculous at this point. Their lunch special kept us going through the pandemic but I just can't justify the price point any more. I can't spend $70-80 on lunch for 3 people!!

This restaurant reminds me of what a homemade dish prepared by mom must taste like— that is if I came from an Indian home. Their dishes are straightforward and reliably good— nothing fancy but simply tasty. I’ve been coming to this restaurant for about 15 years and they never disappoint.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are so good that is all I get, although I am an occasional meat eater.
We used to go regularly with my family to this restaurant and the food was great. It was buffet style. And they had special dishes and desserts for holidays weekends. However, pot pandemic they no longer has buffet, they only offer bowls specials for $20 plus dollars. Their price growth is not in accordance with quality and location. So I’m not sure if it changed ownership or why the prices and quality changed so much ( not for the better).It has a very steep set of stairs to get to this underground restaurant, so this is a challenge for handicap or elderly people. Otherwise parking is easy since it located in the Safeway supermarket shopping center in Belle Haven.Parking: I do not recommend this restaurant for the price there are better options in old town alexandria VA.
Best Indian food in nova. We always come here. It's always worth the drive!
