The food and service were impeccable. I had 2 non alcoholic drinks, Pom-persimmon and the pineapple ginger. Both were delicious and beautifully garnished. I had an appetizer special, baked oysters, seasoned to perfection. For my main, I had the slow cooked short rib and it is one of the best I ever had. It was served on a bed of celery mash and bok choy. For dessert I had the passion fruit pineapple coconut cake. I also got to finish my dining companions chocolate peanut bomb. I will definitely be back to try their other offerings. Everything was superb. Highly recommended.

Everything was excellent: the appetizers (Brussels sprouts), the entrees and the dessert. Our entrees were the Brazilian steak and the duck confit. Both entrees were flavorful and the duck was so tender it fell off the bone. We had the pistachio ricotta cake for dessert and it was light and not too sweet. It was quiet in the restaurant and easy to carry on a conversation. No one hurried us through our 2 hour meal. It was a lovely experience all around.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I only rated the service lower because they only had one waitress working our entire side. It wasn’t her fault that service was slow but she was amazing given the magnitude of people and she seemingly was working alone. My food was delicious! I ordered the pan seared salmon (with an amazing beurre blanc sauce), creamy mashed potatoes and collard greens (which were not seasoned properly - I’m a southerner). The band (Wes Got my Own Sound) was great. I’ll definitely want to check them out again. If you don’t like loud music, this isn’t the spot for you. I love to eat good food and dance to good music so it was perfect for me!

About the restaurant

Delhi Dhaba was established in July of 1991 by a local Arlingtonian family that emigrated from New Delhi to the United States in the 70’s. Their vision was to bring the colors, flavors, and riches of a traditional Indian Dhaba to the locals in the metropolitan area. Traditionally, a Dhaba is a roadside restaurant or cafe found on highways and on the outskirts of cities, towns, and villages. Dhabas were initially started by enterprising Punjabi’s to cater to the needs of truckers, for wholesome, clean, and hot authentic Punjabi food at any hour of the day or night.

Over the years Delhi Dhaba has become one the most well known and respected Indian restaurants in Arlington. The family continues to push the envelope of new ideas everyday while staying true to their culture and values.

About the restaurant

Chef Eugenia Hobson and her team prepare authentic Greek dishes served attentively in an easy-going, informal setting. Our signature dishes include the grilled octopus, the kolokithokeftedes (stuffed zucchini fritters), the lavraki whole fish (branzino) filleted table side, and the arni giouvetsi (lamb shank with orzo). Our selection of nine desserts are all made fresh daily in-house and feature Greek classics such as the baklava and the galaktoboureko. Our wine list is meticulously curated on a seasonal basis by son Philip Hobson, selecting from Greece's top vineyards who produce indigenous varietals such as Assyrtiko & Xinomavro, and western grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. Our beer selection focuses on bottled Greek brews while our bar is fully stocked to serve both classic cocktails and signature drinks inspired by the best bars in Athens. We are located in the Seneca shopping square, next to Orange Theory.

I’m a fair regular and last night did not disappoint. Our new server Sophia did a great job on her first day! Fresh fish and homemade deserts- heaven.

First time dining here. We were greeted immediately and taken to our table. It is a quaint older home and dining was on the back patio. Although a very hot day it was comfortable and cozy. The server was pleasant and engaging. The food was excellent , portion was satisfying and well presented. Choices are limited but varied. Would highly recommend The Spot.

We had a lovely time at Whino! The food was absolutely amazing! Quality ingredients and prepared to perfection! The service was absolutely outstanding - the sort of experience you have at much more expensive places! Our server was always exactly on time when we needed something, but didn’t rush us in the slightest!

Our experience was beautiful. We were a group of seven and from the moment we walked through the door, Caitlin welcomed us and did a wonderful job with her service. Food was delicious. I would recommend the shrimp quesadilla as appetizers. We plan to come back and eat some more!

This was an interesting brunch experience that felt like a pop-up in a rooftop lounge. It’s a great spot for a group with a cocktail lounge feel rather than a dining room environment. I will return

Our friends and we celebrated our wedding anniversaries together and the staff made sure we had a memorable time. They were very friendly and caring and checked in during the meal to ask if we had everything we needed. The food was excellent and plentiful and the prices were reasonable. Will be back for sure!
