Horrible! by mike8335 on 11/16/2010 via Citysearch
I was only 2 bites into my dinner when I went bolting to the bathroom. I sent it back and they sent the exact same dish back. When I asked for a refund and they refused to comp my meal. Never again.

Terrible! Stay away from Dales! by hondacrv06 on 11/5/2010 via Citysearch
I decided to try Dales for the first time and really wish I read the reviews before going. Tonight I ordered the Saag, Pakara, Naan, Lentil Soup ($42). The Saag was like cheap cream spinach. I spit out the first bite. The naan was burned…

Excellent by Debzdoodle on 8/21/2010 via Citysearch
I just tried this place for the first time. I had take-out. I find very few decent Indian restaurants around which saddens me because I grew up in the UK where we were used to GOOD Indian food and LIVED on it-(Huge Indian…

very so-so by ncfoodman on 8/15/2009 via Citysearch
I've tried the buffet at Dale's twice and was disappointed both times. The food was bland, the meat fatty. In fairness, I didn't order from the menu so I don't known if that's any better, but I would definitely stay away from the buffet.…

Is the popularity lowering the quality? by conno on 2/8/2009 via Citysearch
Has the quality gone down?\r I used to love this restaurant last year. When I ordered a Mutter paneer for carry out in Jan 2009, what I got was a mediocre fair. The gravy was thin and the taste was no way near the nicer ones I have tasted.…

Love it by Christine S on 1/13/2009 via Insider Pages
I love to go to Dale's when I'm craving a little spice. I even took my young nephews here, and even though they'd only had Indian food once before, they loved everything, even the picky eater. I have tried lots of different items on the…

Dales is .... the only one there by erik a on 11/6/2008 via Insider Pages
Dales over-uses onions and garlic, to substitute for not using proper Indian spices, some of which have to be imported. Most of the regulars don't have much experience with Indian food, and think this is it. It isn't.

Delicious indian food by sumera h on 6/5/2008 via Insider Pages
Who would think a name like Dale's would create such good indian food. Dale's has all the crowd-pleasers: naan bread, chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, and many more. They offer nice vegetarian and non-veg options. \r The food tastes…

Worst experience by artofliving on 2/26/2008 via Citysearch
After reading these reviews i went to their buffet on sunday. The food was okay and customer service was okay too. I got the bill in which i was charged normally for the buffet, but when i look at my credit card statement it shows that my…

Great food with best prices in town by pam_ on 10/18/2007 via Citysearch
I have been eating for three years at Dales , love their food & service. prices are best compare to some places. We eat on the patio cannot beat the experience. I was there today with my friend & loved it\r Staff knows what we drink & has…

Mediocre at best by seemorekitty on 8/2/2007 via Citysearch
I've been eating at Dale's lunch buffet every once in a while for the past 2 years or so, and 80% of the time the food tastes as if it came from a jar or a can. Some days are OK, the Vegetable Korma and the Chicken Makhini are always…

Why does Indian takeout cost so much? by jes71 on 5/7/2006 via Citysearch
I just ordered some Murgh Makhani, Palak Paneer, and Naan bread for takeout after work. The food tasted really good but was not worth the $25.00 and change that I paid for it. The Naan bread was stale and hard. It seems to be a trend…

Another okay Indian place by Kristin W. on 4/16/2006 via Judy's Book
I've been to Dale's Indian twice. The first time I thought it was only so-so. The second time I thought it was better. I went for the lunch buffet, and for the price, I think it's worth it. The food on the buffet was better than I…

not really great by kim p. on 3/17/2006 via Judy's Book
There really isn't any good Indian food in the area, and Dale's is no exception. The service was so-so. The menu was pretty typical for an Indian restaurant, and the food was only average. Their dessert was pretty bad (I think it was some…

Modest portions for the price, but great overall by rhombus_boy on 11/13/2005 via Citysearch
Delicious food and excellent setting. I asked for my aloo gobi 'mild' (heresy in an Indian restaurant, I know) and managed to make it through the meal with out breaking a sweat... that's a first. The prices are typical for an Indian…

Great Indian Food by Abbey T. on 8/27/2005 via Judy's Book
With a name like "Dale's Indian Cuisine," one might not assume that this restaurant is very good. How surprised I was the first time my friends brought me here. Now I'm the one dragging unbelievers into this 9th Street gem. The food is…

Bravo! by chaconne on 6/7/2004 via Citysearch
My fiancee and I often order dinner take-out from Dale's. While we wait, they invite us to sit at the bar, perhaps order a glass of wine, and munch on complimentary poppodums (with a choice of sauces). The food is absolutely spectacular…

Authentic and flavorful by c_martin on 3/22/2004 via Citysearch
As someone who's spoiled by the authentic Indian food of Washington DC, I was pleasantly surprised by Dale's. The food was flavorful without being too spicy (we ordered 'medium'). The chicken tikka masala and the saag were top notched. The…

Fresh by durham_chowhound on 3/3/2003 via Citysearch
My refview is based only on having eaten their lunch buffet on three occasions. I can't speak to their dinner menu. The food is not exceptional relative to other Indian restuarants but I find their food more fresh. It doesn't taste like…
