“The food was delicious and Alejandro was a great server! He was very personable and prompt! We had the salmon cakes, banzino fish, w/greens, red beans & rice. The only thing that needed a smidge more seasoning was the fried green tomatoes. The first time I ordered them they were seasoned perfectly. I also thoroughly enjoyed the nicely cooked breakfast potatoes! This is my 3rd trip here, and I will be back!“

“Visited Akmal’s kitchen with friends and family recently located in Springfield, the Desi Hub. It has by far the best tasting Pakistani food in Northern Virginia! Menu has great options for all kinds of food from appetisers, vegetarian options to specialty food! We ordered the chicken pakoras, chaat for appetisers and for main course, mix sizzling platter, goat korma, Nihari (fall off the bone beef), chicken biryani, butter chicken. The biryani was very fresh, very fragrant and the chicken fall-off-the-bone moist and tender--some of the best we've had. The butter chicken was excellent-the sauce wonderful to enjoy with the moist and flaky naan. They also have buffet every day, which I will try next time!
The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating! Everything has been consistently fresh, delicious, and filling. Generous portions as well. Will definitely be back here again n again!
Always enjoy their catered food at the weddings and parties. Permanent customer!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options as well!

Dietary restrictions: They also cater to customers with dietary restrictions!

Parking: Ample free parking!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly environment“

“I stopped by Dionne’s for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and there was no line. The food came out within 10 minutes. I got the sliders and the crab fries. The crab fries were loaded and the sliders were delicious. The price was also right as this came in just under $20 with tip.“

“I Love this Place!!! Great Prices, Food and Customer Service!!! I Did Not Get a Chance to Take Other Pictures But The Next Trip I Will. Awesome Grilled Chicken Salad With Great Flavor!!! This Place Needs Longer Hours of Operation...! But, it’s Still The Best Small Deli Shop in the DMV Area!!!“
