Afghan Restaurants near Bethesda, MD

“We ( Maqaame-Ibrahim Mosque) had a great experience with Tasty Grills and Catering during the month of Ramadan. They provided catering for the Mosque twice a week, serving around 40 people weekly, and also handled a large iftar event for 100 people at the end of Ramadan—serving approximately 220 people in total.

Their service was consistently excellent, the food was delicious, and everything was well-organized. The quality and taste truly stood out, and they maintained a high standard throughout.

Highly recommended—it’s hard to find anyone who can match their taste and service. I asked pic from them and posting it here.“

“Delicious, tender, succulent 🍖 cooked fresh for you. It may take a bit to wait, but trust me, the wait will be worth it. 🤤

“We had never tried Afghani food before, and I am so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They recommended the Mini Taste of Arocostia for our first time. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The food was cooked perfectly. The service was great! We never had to ask to have our beverages filled up, because they were already on top of it before we had to ask. They packed all our leftovers into boxes for us for our way home. We will definitely be going back!“

“First time here today. The food was amazing! Service was excellent! ❤ I love Afghan food.“

“This place is delicious. We only had a few days in DC, so we had to be selective where we ate. I don't think I've ever had straight Afgan food, but this place didn't disappoint. About 1/3 of their menu is vegan. They were very accommodating for vegan food, they made modifications even without asking.

If you are vegan, don't miss this gem if you are in DC.“

“What a delightful experience! The food was outstanding, the service was wonderful, and late on a Sunday night we had a slow and quiet dinner - it was perfect start to finish. We had the assorted dumplings and the Afghania flight (so much food!) and every single thing had its own flavor profile and every meat was perfectly tender. So so good. Try something new and spend an evening at this wonderful restaurant!“

“It was worth the drive from DC to this VA to eat at Arlington Kabob’s. Not only was the food amazing but whom I believe to be the manager or owner, was exceptional, his customer service was excellent! Will definitely recommend and will be back.“

“Absolutely worth the drive from Pittsburgh! We traveled all the way just to experience the food at Bonjon Rumi, and it did not disappoint. Every dish was full of authentic flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the quality and care put into the food.

The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that makes you feel the journey was 100% worth it—but Bonjon Rumi definitely did.

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great taste and genuine hospitality. We’ll gladly make the trip again!“

“wonderful gem of a spot! delicious cocktails and food. extremely knowledgeable staff“

“Actually - really good kebab. Good vibes. Great sides. Like a really solid kebab place, although parking is a bit of a pain in the butt, but like the restaurant is absolutely …. Chefs kiss when it comes to what you want out of a kebab place.“

“Best Kabob House in the town.“

“🍛 Food

😊 Service
The service was good and attentive, which made the overall experience enjoyable.

🪑 Ambience
The ambience feels a bit dated, and the seating/booths could definitely use an update to match the quality of the food and service.

⭐ Overall
For me, it’s a great place for the food and service, but with some improvements to the interior, it could be even better.“

“Great service and a wonderful experience. I first visited this restaurant almost two years ago, and it’s impressive to see how much it has improved since then. The restaurant feels refreshed, upgraded, and very well maintained.

The management clearly puts great effort into maintaining high standards-10/10 to the management team for the excellent work. Highly recommended, especially for Iftar.“

“I eat at Grill Kabob regularly and it’s consistently good. My go-to order is the chicken platter with rice and chickpeas. The chicken is always well-seasoned, tender, and grilled perfectly. The rice is flavorful and the chickpeas are a great addition that make the meal even more satisfying. The portions are generous and the food always tastes fresh. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I’m craving a solid kabob plate.“

“The best breakfast in town! The food simply delicious. Highly recommend it.“
