Best Lunch Restaurants in Dale City

After hearing such positive feedback about Afghan Bistro I decided to try it . I made a reservation to ensure I would get seating for3 people . I found the atmosphere to be quite pleasing , quiet , peaceful & understated . It is in an area where there is a heavy industrial vibe , do not let that deterr you from going inside , once inside , you`ll find this location is not a big space . Personally , I like a smaller, less noisy , envirnoment when dining out , so I can carry on a conversation without screaming across the table . The food server greeted us when we arrived ,then escorted us to our seats . He was very hospitiable & very knowledgeable about the selections on the menu . He asked if we had any special requests or if we needed any special care in food prep ( gluten or lactose allergies , if anyone was vegan or vegetarian etc ) . He made some suggestions on the menu that proved to be beneficial.. The food came out quickly after ordering it and it was delicious . This is defintely not your typical Kabob place , the selections on the menu are much more unique , not only did it taste amazing ,the presentation was beautiful . The portions are enough to share if one wanted to , but we opted for separate entrees so we could take have the leftovers . Overall I was impressed with the quality , the service, the prices were reasonable and the " vibe " of the place was great ...you can even get a glass of wine or a cocktail if desired . Great little place ! this location is 1 of 4 locations , I`d like to try them all it was so good .

Another great visit at Firebirds! We dine there weekly because it is reliably excellent every time we visit. I usually go with the "perfect pair"--salad and a sandwich. My bride usually prefers the salmon.

Another great dining experience—I love the salad, soup and sandwich option. My bride frequently orders the Borsin cheese omelet. Always great service at NYAJ’s; today Donovan was our server and he was terrific. Managers Des and Henry each stopped by our table to assure everything was perfect and it was; this is one of the best managed restaurants in the area.

We ate outside and while it was humid it wasn’t terrible as there were fans. There was live music and we could hear it but couldn’t make out the songs. Nautical gnocchi was delicious for me. My husband had the dirty chicken. Portion size was good and we each could have finished our meals but saved some for lunch tomorrow.
