We are locals and this is our favorite neighborhood spot -- very friendly and attentive service, good (not great) Indian food and comfortable atmosphere. Husband and I eat here often and the food is consistently tasty. A little difficult to find the first time -- down the stairs in the local shopping mall but worth the trouble.

Great value meal in lunchtime - all you can eat buffet of quality Indian food. Service is friendly and efficient, medium sized buffet including several chicken and seafood dishes, salads, rice, soup and more. I specially liked that the naan bread was not in the buffet, instead every table got their own freshly baked naan basket - straight out of... More

In our search for great Indian food, Marsha and I searched the web while staying in Alexandria Va. Up popped the "Dishes of India". We locked the address into our gps, and off we went. Not the easiest place to find, particularly if you are not from the area. Regardless, we found that we had to walk down a set... More

Had the Chicken Vindaloo and Lamb Naan. Both were excellent. The prices were reasonable and the staff attentive. Highly recommend.

Great quality Authentic Indian food in an odd location. I've passed this place a thousand times and just tried it for the first time last week. And, I sure was impressed! Both the service and the food was wonderful. I was really surprised at how crowded the place was on a Monday evening. Decent prices as well! I will definitely... More

Don't let the odd location turn you off! Yes it's in a strip mall, yes it's downstairs... but, it's cozy, and the staff are so happy you've come - and the food is fabulous. I often just order the dal and tikka masala to go! Ask them to make onion bahji for you! You will be back for seconds at... More

Went here on a Saturday evening and I have never met such friendly staff at any restaurants I have dined. Everyone had smiles, waiters that weren't waiting our table would pick up plates, ask if we needed anything. I ordered the buttered chicken which was good, more than I could eat so I had lunch for the next day. Friend... More

Good friendly service but food is way below par. I'm surprised to see reviews that rate this restaurant. I've eaten at Indian restaurants all around the world and this place is certainly not the worst but also not the best.

Love this place. Located in a shopping center where you have to walk downstairs into the basement restaurant. Also, this place isn't exactly Old Town, it is off the GW parkway in a remote part of Alexandria so it is definitely a hike, but well worth it. Terrific service, great food full of flavor. When I lived in Crystal City... More

We have very few restaurants in our neighborhood, and this is one of only two that would not be considered fast food or family-style dining. Dishes of India has been in the Belleview Shopping Center in Alexandria, VA, for over 25 years, so that should tell you something about the quality of this restaurant. I understand a second Dishes of... More
