Put on your party hat because Delhi Dhaba is turning 30!
To celebrate, the mainstay Indian restaurant will be hosting a Bollywood Blowout throughout the summer.
When you walk through the doors, you’ll be surrounded by fun, festive decor and music. Settle in and experience Indian culture with a special celebration menu featuring creative cocktails and traditional street food.
Start the celebration off with the Drunk Auntie, a tequila and tamarind nectar margarita. There’s also the Yaaaas Rani (translated: Yaaaasss Queen), a fruity concoction made with guava rum, pomegranate and lemon.
For your meal, choose a variety of street chaat items. “Chaat,” by the way, describes snacks with sweet, sour, tangy, spicy and crunchy flavors. If you want to try different dishes, this is perfect. Mix and match items and share with your table!
You’ll also find small bites, including masala fries, tandoori chicken wings and vegetable samosa. If you’d rather have a full-blown meal, there are big bites available as well.
Finish off the experience with Parle-G ice cream sandwiches (made with India’s favorite cookie), sweet rice pudding or homemade Kulfi Trio (a trio of rose, malai and pistachio ice creams).
Had no idea Delhi Dhaba was this old? They’ve been serving the Arlington community since 1991, when a local family who emigrated from New Delhi in the ’70s established the restaurant. Their goal? Bring all the colors and flavors of traditional Indian food to the good people of Arlington.
The Bollywood Blowout festivities begin May 15 and carry on through Oct. 15. Weekend reservations are strongly encouraged, so be sure to book your spot online so you don’t miss out!
