Dilpasand restaurant — Restaurant in Dale City

One Star — “Dry Pasand” should be the real name

I pulled up to Dil Pasand thinking I was about to have a spiritual experience with some bomb gol gappe. I paid $11 for six. SIX. For that price, I expected them to be hand-crafted by someone’s beloved daadi with secret family spices and holy water from the Ganges.

Instead, I got six hollow dry puffs that tasted like they’d been sitting in a desert waiting for rain. They were so dry I felt like I needed a CPR kit and a gallon of lassi just to swallow one.

To save the day, they gave me “gol gappe water” in a little sad cup — no lid, no warning. I put it in my car and guess what? It spilled everywhere. Now my car smells like cumin and regret.

And the worst part? NO SAUCE. No tamarind, no mint, no flavor, no love. Just vibes. Dry ones.

I went to Dil Pasand, but left with Dil...

Simply a hub of wonderful Pakistani/Middle Eastern/Hakka Chinese cuisine. We were travelling by road from North Carolina to Washington DC, and stopped at this delightful resturant for dinner.

Ordered: Chicken boneless karahi (we requested to make it extra spicy and it didn't disappointed us). As a proof we finished it all.

Shawerma⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chicken Malai Boti Paratha Rolls: out of this world Kheer was just like ur mum's one Lassi Sweet was like having it at Burns Road, Karachi Paratha was like "Dil Se"

Special thanks to the young lads at the reception Ayaan and Ali And last but not the least The Chef

Love from UK, North Carolina USA,...

Their Fuchka was good although the sauce was missing the sour taste, it was a little sweet instead.

Beef tehari was dry. Meat used in tehari was definitely not same day cooked. Means it was bashi( if you are bangali you know what I mean.)

Polao with Chicken roast taste was good, served with salad. But $21.99 for that dish is not reasonably priced at all. This is kind of an issue with Halal restaurant that you think you can set a price unreasonably and justify it because it's Halal.

I'm not spending my money...
