DALI Dorsten - Factory Dorsten GmbH in Dorsten

The buffet is very inviting, with a great selection and delicious tapas. The grill buffet is very good. Despite the buffet, there are no long lines, and the food is constantly being replenished. Even at 9:30 p.m., the buffet is still well-stocked. I especially like the extensive fish buffet; there's so much to choose from and everything is deliciously prepared. The staff is also very attentive and friendly.

The food was delicious, even for those who don't eat Spanish. The desserts were incredibly delicious. At the end, you need a truck to get out.

I wouldn't eat here, they don't have wheelbarrows to transport food out. 🤣 No kidding. I'd go back anytime. 👍👍👍

Two of us were there on Sunday, May 18, 2025. The service was friendly. There was a large buffet with Spanish and Italian specialties. Unfortunately, the food tasted very bland. The flavor wasn't authentically Spanish or Italian. Perhaps we should have gone to a proper, exclusively Spanish or Italian restaurant. Additionally, the plates were very small. We could barely put anything on them and often had to run back and forth to get food. Is this intentional? Is it an attempt to train customers to eat less?! Given this, the €85 we paid for two people was unjustified.

After a 50km journey, I was a bit confused by the parking lot at my destination. It seemed quite small for the location. However, it quickly became apparent that I was directed to a side parking lot, and a much larger one was still available. Compared to other restaurants in the chain, the DALI is smaller. There was no wait, and the reserved table was available immediately. The buffet offers a wide selection, although it was significantly smaller than at the Factory in Bottrop. The food was mostly delicious. The service was good and quick. There was little wait time for drinks. For me, it was a worthwhile experience.

My husband and I visited Dali for the first time today, May 16, 2025. We used it to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary and were surprised by the variety of the buffet. Everything was excellent and we enjoyed it very much. We would happily recommend it to our friends and will definitely go again.

The service and selection were excellent again! We'll be back again.

The service was very attentive, and the atmosphere was great. But we could have avoided the food poisoning.

Great selection, good quality, nice atmosphere

Very nice friendly staff. The plates were always cleared promptly and drinks were refilled. In terms of taste, Dali Dorsten is the best Spanish restaurant I've eaten at so far. We were definitely not there for the last time.

Very cool, great buffet, delicious, everything fresh, nice attentive service. We weren't here for the last time.

The restaurant is located in the middle of a beautiful old industrial culture, with seating inside and outside. The service was simply great, very friendly and attentive. The food tastes very good and has a wide selection. All in all, a trip to Dorsten that is worthwhile and, above all, ideal for beautiful summer days. Directly opposite there is a large sandpit with play options for the kids. In any case, it wasn't the last time we were there 😉👍

It was a wonderful evening on the occasion of a birthday. The food and service were excellent. We will definitely come back.

The food was unique. The service was extremely good. The service staff did a great job. It certainly wasn't the last time I was in DALI.

Super tasty and varied. The acoustics are great for the very large room

Personally, I've rarely eaten so badly for too much money... It's better to go to the blue lake and eat much better there for less money!

We had a really delicious and particularly good meal there. The service is also really good and friendly. The selection at the buffet is impressive and everything tastes really good. The only points I deduct are for the cleanliness of the toilets. The toilet itself was clean but everything around it was really unkempt. (walls, pipes, baseboards, etc.) But we'd love to come back.

Very tasty and plenty of choice. For just under €40, without drinks, you should bring an appetite.

Top service, beautiful location, great buffet, everything was fresh and tasted excellent. It was constantly replenished, nothing was missing.

We really enjoyed having dinner with you. The buffet was once again absolutely top notch. Selection and quality were top. Service very friendly and accommodating. We'd love to come back.

It wasn't the first time we were there, but it wasn't the last time either.

Yes, very extensive buffet. Delicious and tasty prepared.

It was very tasty, The service was great! It was very clean. Everything was always replenished quickly at the buffet. We can only recommend it.

Great food and great service. The price-performance ratio is perfect

I've been enjoying eating there for a few years now, both with friends and family who weren't familiar with the restaurant before. Everyone was very satisfied. It's super easy to make reservations online, and you get a very quick response. In my opinion, the food is of high quality, it tastes great, and they make sure your drinks are refilled promptly. I've found that it's a good idea to leave enough room for dessert. 😉 The selection is really great. The service is friendly and attentive. Personally, I find it a bit of a shame that they only offer Pepsi soft drinks and small sizes. Of course, that's a matter of taste! However, I would find Coca-Cola, Fritz Cola, or Afri Cola much cooler. 😎 But that's just a side note. In summary, you can have a great culinary time at Dali. 👍

Very good food but a bit expensive

All of us (5 people) loved the food, the staff and chefs were super friendly and great fun. It was always refilled quickly. We've eaten tapas many times but this restaurant topped them all with the buffet of Spanish and Italian. Congratulations, all you can do is spread the word. Kind regards and see you next time.

The food was once again great and the selection was hard to beat.

Four of us went to DALI in Dorsten and were thrilled. Rarely have we tasted such a varied buffet. Everything was very tasty and warm food was always refilled. Both the cold and warm dishes were well seasoned to our liking. The desserts were so delicious and the small portions meant you could try different ones. The atmosphere in the customs hall was very cozy and the service was very friendly and open to questions about the history of the customs hall. We will recommend you and will definitely come back. Greetings Silvia

It was super nice and the service was perfect

Super tasty, very appealing, we'll be back

We visited this restaurant for the first time in January and have been coming here really regularly since then. For us the absolute best restaurant 🫶 The service is really bomb 100 percent attentive, and the food doesn't get any better for us. The ambience is simply great. (old mine site) Really great concept. Kind regards Sandra and André Bayerlein

Very friendly and attentive service. The selection and quality of the food is very good. Great atmosphere.

Super delicious food, leaves nothing to be desired.

Great old industrial walls. Several restaurants. We were greeted warmly and escorted to the table. Procedures were explained and drinks were served. The buffet is second to none. Very rich and varied. The staff was absolutely top, really good. Very, very friendly and attentive! I think we'll be back!

Food is okay overall. There's basically nothing wrong with going there. At times there was a great need for meat and the shops were empty. The vegetables are quite soaked or too fatty. But we were there quite late. The beef that is freshly prepared there is really recommended. Desserts are good too.

The food is very good, great selection, very good quality and tasty, friendly staff. The ambience is our personal feeling, a bit too big for 2, but it is very interesting

Everything is just right, I just have to mention the waiter, he was really super nice and attentive, thank you for this really great evening 👍👍👍

Super great service, thank you very much Marie Sophie.

Good selection of food and drinks. Price performance satisfactory. Very friendly staff. Ambiance is very interesting, but could give more content to the motto of the kitchen. Many complain about the price per person, but also consider the selection.

Super delicious food, great service and the charm of the old mine building is also very nice. We will definitely be back 🥰

Update: After the visit, I unfortunately experienced severe gastrointestinal problems. Whether there is a connection with the food cannot be said for sure - but I would like to mention it for the sake of completeness. The Dali offers an impressively diverse selection of dishes - from tapas to pasta, there is something for everyone. Unfortunately, the quality varied: While some dishes were solid, other hot dishes were only lukewarm at the table. Unfortunately, the pasta made from the Parmesan wheel was disappointing - it was far too oily and, in terms of consistency, it had been kept in the cheese wheel for a long time rather than freshly tossed. However, a real no-go was the hygiene situation on the fruit plate: A child repeatedly reached into the display with his bare fingers, each time under the supervision of an adult who made no attempt to intervene. When I asked a waiter about it - who even observed the situation himself - he promised to pay attention. However, instead of speaking to the family or exchanging the fruit, he poked around helplessly with the tongs. It's a shame because, to be honest, it was just disgusting. The atmosphere in the large hall seems rather cool and restless. A romantic evening for two was hardly possible there, especially since we unfortunately couldn't move to the quieter side room - there were probably no tables for two there. The loud Spanish dance music and the regularly appearing escape room groups, who stood in the gallery like extras from a very confused play, rounded off the acoustically and visually rather hectic experience. The friendly welcome and the service at the table should be positively highlighted - you felt like you were in good hands here.

I wouldn't take it again for the price. But that's a matter of taste, the food wasn't generally bad.

We were very satisfied! Great service, delicious food and a very pleasant atmosphere! The selection is really good, each of us was surprised by the culinary delights! We would love to visit this restaurant again 😀

Mega large buffet selection, always filled up quickly, very attentive service

We found it tasty, but quite expensive. The employees were very nice and accommodating. However, for us personally the price/performance is not right.

Everything was great, just a bit loud. Therefore, 4 instead of 5 stars for ambience.

Super tasty, very nice atmosphere, very nice and attentive staff. This won't be the last time.

Incredible variety of dishes, all delicious. Excellent service.

Very attentive and friendly staff, excellent food selection and quality, interesting location—an old mining hall—but still not too noisy even late at night. It won't be the last time we're there.

The explanation was friendly, and we were assigned a personalized table. The buffet was well-organized. A large selection of cold and hot appetizers, main courses from the buffet, and separate chef-cooked and dessert dishes were served. The chef was very friendly and helpful! The restrooms were clean and modern. No accessible restrooms. However, there was a wider door. No separate handles or anything similar. Drinks were served at the table. Orders were taken at regular intervals. Empty plates were cleared promptly. Completely reasonable value for money. Would definitely go again.

It was the first, but not the last time. We really liked it all around. The food was constantly being replenished and everything looked very appetizing and there were many different dishes. The starters and the dessert were also a poem. Thank you.

Great restaurant on the old mine site. It has a certain charm, but the dining room is very loud. You get used to it quickly, but it's not the quietest atmosphere. The food is excellent. From various starters and warm appetizers to the main course and the sweet and cheese variations - no one goes home hungry - we promise. I think several visits are necessary to be able to try everything. Great. Service very friendly and attentive. Quiet dogs are welcome and also receive fresh water. The chandelier for decoration is unique.

It was our first time at Dali and we were very impressed. We were welcomed directly at the door and taken to the table, the buffet was very varied and the food was very tasty. We can absolutely recommend it and would be happy to come back.

Old wage hall of the disused Fürst Leopold colliery. Spanish/Italian buffet with a very large selection of starters, main courses, live cooking and desserts, all very tasty. You can't try everything so much to choose from. Service is very friendly, drinks are brought quickly and people always ask. Empty plates are also cleared away quickly. We'll be back. Reservation required.

Very nice and industrial atmosphere in the wage hall from the coal mining era. Food from the buffet was great, there was always enough and the time flew by. A must see!

Rich, varied buffet, for starters, main courses and dessert. Additionally live cooking. There are no large quantities of anything in the buffet, but it is always refilled quickly. The quality surprised me more than positively for a buffet. The waitresses are attentive, very friendly and quick. Price for the evening was absolutely reasonable. Only the entrance could be made a little more obvious; at first we thought it was a side exit to the terrace.

Excellent food, especially the antipasti. Very attentive but not intrusive staff. We were very satisfied with the evening overall.

The location is very nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly, not intrusive like in other restaurants. I can only recommend it

We were with four people. First of all, a nice atmosphere, at least in the anteroom, you come in at the entrance and walk straight towards the bar/reception. You are immediately greeted in a very friendly manner by smiling employees. To the left of the bar there is a smaller denier room, where the overall volume was nice and quiet to medium volume. Directly opposite the entrance is a door that leads into a large room and therefore also to the buffet and further seating. To the right/diagonally opposite the bar there is another station where you can get freshly prepared pasta. The only real drawback that could be mentioned are the drinks. Everything is only offered in 0.2 to 0.33 l, which brings with it the annoying habit of having to order a drink every ten minutes, disturbs the atmosphere a little and is not necessarily because you want to save money, because if you count €2.60 for 0.2 l, you're probably also counting around €5 for 0.5 l. It's just that after one sip you felt like the glass was already empty. About the food: As described, traditional Spanish/Italian cuisine, some tapas but also warm dishes. Unfortunately, I was missing a bit more choice here, which is why I got one star less (I know, it's easier said than done, but in the large room, not all of the space was used, which was still separated by curtains), but what was there was very tasty and was always replenished (completely). The meat was super tender, the seafood was cooked to perfection and there was simply nothing wrong with the dessert. Toilets: It took a lot of getting used to because the women's toilet was basically open to the men's and so you can hear everything there (perhaps unpleasant for some people). But very clean! Service: All employees were very friendly and accommodating.

Great location. Great selection of food and super nice staff. TOP!!!@

The food is and remains simply great. Lots of choice and delicious food. The ambience with the old hall is simply charming. The only time you shouldn't have a table at the entrance is when it's cold. Unfortunately there is always a draft when the door opens and closes!

Top food, very nice and fast service. We would love to come back 😊

Nice atmosphere and very good variety and rich food. We'll definitely come back.

We have always enjoyed going to Dali for a good 5 years, the quality has NEVER decreased.

At first we didn't get an appointment, then suddenly we got one at 8 p.m.! Arrived 15 minutes early! Surprisingly, there are still many places available… Well, the buffet wasn't anything special. Things had been there for a while and were already there pretty dry! That's just how it is when the first guests arrive come at 4 p.m., then nothing really gets added at the end... All in all, the price is for this quality €40 is just way too high!! But luckily the staff was very nice and the location is exceptional!

Nothing more is possible, top price-performance ratio. Staff super nice and welcoming. Definitely again when we are there. Kind regards, A.K

Food and service very good. But we got a table right at the entrance and there was probably no one else available. It was super cold, almost unbearable. There is a curtain hanging around the door, but the sides are completely free. A catastrophe. So you couldn't enjoy the food

The food is good, the service is attentive, and in contrast to the Factory, the atmosphere is such that you can have a good conversation. Therefore everything is good.

Staff, very very friendly. Food, selection more than plentiful. All around, great. Price/performance fits. We'll be back

We were there for the first and last time. Actually a nicely done restaurant, but table to table, you had the feeling of dining as a large group. The selection is very large and some of it was very tasty, but the mussels tasted very strange - I had to spit them into a napkin. The toilets were unbearably dirty, but you could still hear someone vomiting. After an hour we left and now I have terrible stomach cramps! 1 hour, 2 people and almost 100€ later I regret the reservation. But for the friendly service there are 4 stars!

It was our first time at Dali and we really liked it. The food was very good and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We also liked the atmosphere. The volume was very pleasant so that you could still have a good conversation.

The food was very good, the staff friendly and attentive. What more could you want! 5 stars from me 🤩

Sorry, but anyone who likes that kind of thing has no idea about good cuisine!!! Pure mass production... Some bad things in between. And... far too expensive for what is supposed to be there. Don't be blinded by the website... sorry🤷🏻‍♂️

We were here for the first time with 5 women and we were thrilled. The buffet was appetizing, a large selection and the chefs cooked the meat to our liking. The staff welcomed us personally and were available to answer any questions or requests at any time. We would love to come back 😌

The food is wholesome and the staff is also very friendly. What I was missing was an entrance sign. And the buffet price is already high at 38 euros per person

Hot dishes were also warm. In terms of taste, everything was excellent! The service was very good and very friendly. Dirty dishes were cleared away quickly so there was always enough space on the table.

We were here for the first time with a larger group on a Saturday. The service was quick, friendly and accommodating. The buffet was very varied, it tasted very good and it was replenished quickly. Thank you for the successful evening. We will come back.

A unique atmosphere, super fresh and varied food and the service is very nice and attentive.

I really had a great visit to the all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant DALI Dorsten. The selection of food was huge and there was really something for everyone - from crispy salads to delicious main courses and great desserts. Everything was fresh and really tasty. The staff was nice and made sure the tables were clean and the buffet stations were always well stocked. A great place for everyone who likes variety and good food!

Were there today for the first time but certainly not for the last... the staff was very attentive and super friendly, the selection of food is so large that you can't try everything🤩, the price-performance ratio is more than given. Thank you very much for the lovely and delicious evening.

Good quality. Everything is great!

Very good food. An overwhelming selection of food. Although it is a large hall, the atmosphere is convincing. The background noise is lower than in many conventional restaurants. Absolute recommendation.

As usual, a very tasty meal, very friendly staff. It's always worth a visit.

Very great atmosphere, great and diverse selection of food. Nice service

A really great buffet!! Something completely different (and much better) than the usual Asian stuff. Lots of exciting selection and variety. The live cooking with the Iberico steak was also awesome. Price-wise, it's completely okay for the selection. I'm thrilled. The entrance is a bit difficult to find, in my opinion there is no larger sign

The buffet is awesome!!! All Spanish/Italian cuisine! There is no one who can ever try everything there in one evening! Incredible selection! But in contrast to other buffets, emphasis here is not only on quantity but also on quality. 38€ + drinks (prices are not cheap but really not too expensive either) is not small, but we will be back!! Regarding the culinary aspects, we can only say thank you to all the wait staff and kitchen staff behind the counter! It was very, very nice at Dali!! Top!!!

Always nice at Dali, large selection of different dishes, none of which taste like a commercial kitchen but rather individually. Plus the live cooking corner and the many desserts in the industrial atmosphere... always good👍 The staff is also on their toes and often asks if everything is OK and if you want something new to drink when the glass is almost empty.

Diverse selection of dishes, friendly service. Absolute recommendation.

We were at Dali for the first time, Staff is top, very polite and very attentive Buffet food, lots of choice But at first I had the impression that it wasn't fresh, but this was confirmed: stomach cramps as soon as I left! At home we first threw up the mussels... But when my better half didn't come out of the bathroom, Dali had taken care of it for us...it was a great night in the bathroom The day after...Please don't bend down today Otherwise I won't be able to stop spitting Dali no thanks!

We were there for the first time and we really liked it. Food was great, the service was friendly and helpful. We'll definitely come back.

Very attentive service and delicious food. Great, we always like to come.

The selection is good and it tasted good. It was quickly refilled. It would be nice if allergens were identified. When it comes to dessert, e.g. if you are lactose intolerant, there is no or hardly any offer, so one star is deducted. Reception and service were good. Our table was in the entrance area, when guests came it was very cold and drafty, so a point was deducted.

Great quality, great ambience and a very nice and attentive staff, we would love to come back!

Mega...from the food to the service

We were there for the first time on Christmas Day! The atmosphere is good & the staff is super nice! There is something for every palate at the buffet! The dessert buffet is great🤤😋 Maybe a small suggestion for improvement...we couldn't find the entrance because it didn't say "Dali" anywhere! We first went to the wrong restaurant and were given directions! Behind us came a group of people who didn't know where it was either. But otherwise I can definitely recommend the “Dali”👍

Great restaurant, very tasty food, top service..

It was great! We'd love to come back! The service was particularly positive. Many people can learn a lot here. We were never thirsty and the plates were cleared away quicker than anyone would have noticed. Thank you for this evening!

Very large selection of cold and warm dishes. Everything was super tasty and of excellent quality. The price for the buffet is definitely justified. The staff very friendly and attentive. They always refilled the drink straight away and asked for drinks. Definitely coming back.

It doesn't get any better. Definitely coming back.
