“I had the lunch today and the variety of dishes and the tastiness of the food were excellent. Highly recommend this great Indian restaurant.“

“Was at an appointment with my son around the corner at PrepMatters. Needed a quick snack and drink. Popped into Aden Pizza & Mediterranean as a first timer. Was warmly greeted and given a menu. The staff was very friendly, polite and professional. I purchased a bottle of water, Gatorade and appetizer French fries. The food came out very quickly, and the food was fresh, hot and very tasty. I would recommend anyone in the area to give Aden Pizza & Mediterranean restaurant a try, you won’t go wrong. Enjoy!“

“Yummy! Yummy! I ordered from DoorDash, but I’m definitely gonna go there in person now as it was amazing 😋“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“delicious food and beautiful service and top notch management. reasonable prices“

“We order two of the burger combos; a double cheese and a halal bacon cheese. Both were quite quite good and the portion size was more than adequate. My double cheese was hefty even and the fries were done nicely - a simple thing often done poorly.

We ordered though the restaurants website and the price was 13.50 each plus tax and tip. They also seem to have a rewards program.

The downside was that the order was delivered by Uber Eats and while the delivery driver was prompt I am not a fan of Uber Eats due to their inflated surcharges. Unfortunately, all the delivery services are have inflated surcharges while passing little into the drivers.

Overall we quite liked it and I plan on trying their gyros and rice platters in the near future.“

“Just flew in on a redeye and got take-out here. It’s literally 1:30, and really no other places are open. Huge shout out to the dishes. Everything tasted amazing, and the seasoning was really on point!! Definitely would recommend checking this spot out. I know I’ll adding this place as a go to late night study snack.“

“We spotted this cute little place while walking by and those red umbrellas caught our eye. We sat outside under the trees and had the tortilla and falafel, the food was absolutely amazing! The staff were super friendly and attentive too. Definitely worth stopping by! ❤“

“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!“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“Here’s a polished review you can post:

Absolutely love this place! The lamb and chicken are always cooked to perfection, the rice is flavorful, the salad is fresh, and the sauce brings everything together perfectly. Every meal is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous for such reasonable prices. It’s hard to find quality, taste, and value all in one place, but this food cart delivers every time. I truly hope they continue maintaining the same standards because they’ve earned a loyal customer.“

“With so many places to try, we rarely go back to the same restaurant. This is an exception. We've been going once or twice a year for 3 years, and it hasn't slipped a bit. This time we had the goat birria and chicken tinga tostada. Impeccable. The divey vibe lends to it's charm.“

“First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and wow 🔥🐔 definitely impressed! I ordered the mini 4 pieces, Dave’s Mozz, and the PR Orange Lavaburst drink. Everything was sooo delicious and fresh. The chicken had amazing flavor with the perfect crunch. I honestly ate everything 😂💯 Customer service was great and the food came out hot and fast. I can see why everybody talks about this place now. Definitely coming back again sometime. Champion spot for sure 🏆“

“The cashier was very polite, well managed and friendly. I order the lamb and rice bowl. I never realized a small bowl packed with so much flavor. The lamb is nice and seasoned while the rice compliments it. Let's not forget the yogurt sauce. It was rich and tasty. It feels like a dance party in my mouth. Assalamualaikum and see you soon. I give two thumbs way up. 👍“

“Awesome“

“I love taken the family there on the weekends. They have very good food in a child friendly environment. They always have something for everyone in the family that would personalize and enjoy.“

“Walking around the food court, one of the workers offered a sample of some of the chicken shawarma. It was good so I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. It was shockingly good. I was honestly sad when I had finished it. The mango drink was really good, as well as the gyros. Highly recommend.“

“Always the best food and the family that runs this restaurant is amazing. We like going places where you feel appreciated as a customer.“

“I love this place ❤️. Highly recommend“

“Some of the best halal I've ever had. I've been coming here for over a decade. The owner is an incredibly kind man, the food is delicious, and the price is unbeatable. Highly recommend. In case it's not obvious, this is a food cart, so there's no seating. That's not a negative, just something to keep in mind if you're coming for the first time.“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“Amazing food and terrific atmosphere. We went for Christmas dinner and there was something on the menu for everyone.“

“I’ve ordered three times here since Nov 2025, and the halal indication is what made me curious to try the place. I’m happy Hunan Cafe is in the neighborhood! The food is good and clean, meat portions generous, the white rice that comes as a side was fragrant and tasty. I’m not left second guessing my order unlike other Chinese take out spots that can be too oily or use too much MSG. The service is reliable and friendly.

More details: I’ve placed over the phone with no issue and have ordered using the kiosk. They securely pack the takeout. I’ve earned a reward through Toast, the ordering app. There’s plenty of space to eat-in, if you’d like. I haven’t had an issue with parking, it’s a strip / plaza lot shared with other businesses. Dishes I’ve tried: spicy chicken wonton, lo mein, Taiwan noodle with veggie, Szechuan beef, and La Zhi chicken.“

“Wanted to try something new during birthday excursion. redditors recommended this place. finding out that they had a buffet helped me ensure I'd definitely find something I like. but I actually loved EVERYTHING they had in their buffet once I got there. had multiple plates. If I lived closer, it would've been a regular spot for me. hope to visit again soon. would recommend to anyone.“

“I had the chicken kabob plate. In the picture there's white rice on the plate (under the naan bread). The chicken, both types of rice, and the bread were my favorite parts!! It was delicious and very filling. I didn't eat the salad (I don't eat salad, and I didn't know it came with the meal). I also tried the chickpeas, but I didn't finish them. They were ok.“

“Went for desserts and it was the perfect way to end the evening. It was a bit loud, even on the patio area. Definitely cozy vibes. Would go back and try dinner, everything looked amazing. They had some great coffee/tea drinks that perfectly complimented desserts.“

“This is hands down the best burger I have ever had in my entire life. I am 36 years old and live for a good burger. Is it greasy? Yes. Will you need a ton of napkins? Yes. Is Jon’s sauce amazing? Yes. There’s even a bottle where you can get more of the sauce. The Coke machine was out of order, but there was a drink cooler full of everything you could need.“

“The food is delicious and reasonably priced. You get quite a variety in a platter--I love that it comes with salad and 2 different kinds of rice. The side of chickpeas is awesome. You really can't beat the flavor and price in this area. I have eaten inside and taken out--both great experiences.“

“I came to Arlington for a business trip from Atlanta. I've been to the Ballston Food Court several times since I visit frequently. First time at Hal & Als and I ordered the brisket sandwich. the cashier who I assume is the owner was telling me about who he learned to make ribs from down in Atlanta. he was so hospitable too. he asked me to let him know what I thought. I completely forgot. everything was great. halal BBQ is a little different but it blew me away. I'll def revisit when I'm in Arlington again.“

“We had a great experience at RASA in Washington, DC. We ordered the Chicken Tikka and Lamb Kebab bowls, and both were delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the meat was flavorful, tender, and moist. The bowls were well balanced, with plenty of flavor in every bite. A great option for fresh, healthy Indian food in DC.“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“???? the food here is absolutely delicious! ???? They were parked at Patriot Park North and I absolutely enjoyed the Lamb Gyro I had to have it twice this weekend! I also got the fries which were also amazing! They were cut and cooked fresh! The price tag is a little high but believe me it it is well worth it!“

“The best Indian food place in the entire DMV area. The most flavorful food around. Our favorite dishes are Chicken 65, Chole Bhature, and Butter chicken. Mango Lassi is delicious as well. The inside is decorated very tastefully, and the staff is super friendly.“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“

“I highly recommended this place. atmosphere is cozy food is delicious!“

“Service was exceptional and very catering to us. Sahid was so nice and even brought water for our dog while we were sitting outside, really caring. The food was really good and flavorful, loved the pita and the chickpeas. I could eat a whole bowl of chickpeas and pita bread. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good kabob place!“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“Based on reviews, we stopped by. The food was cooked fresh and it is delicious. Also, the portions did not disappoint. I encourage, if you're in the Tyson area to stop by to get a delicious meal in take out or eat in. Note seating is tight. Enjoy.“

“Delicious fresh food, beautiful presentation. Wonderful attentive staff, highly recommend. We will definitely return to enjoy an evening with music of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you very much.“

“I took my family to this restaurant they have a buffet during Ramadan and there’s plenty of varieties. The food is delicious and the employees are very sweet and helpful.“

“I am visiting DC from the midwest, but I was unexpectedly welcomed home to Egypt for lunch in Dupont Circle. You will find legitimate Egyptian street/comfort food and the staff display true Middle Eastern hospitality & service very rare in America. The music (classic Arabic songs of love and heartbreak lol) and hearing the Egyptian dialect specifically completed the experience.“

“First of my family enjoyed the food but the fries were spicy even as on the scale not hot.Secondly The atmosphere was fine.And lastly the service was very kind and I had no problems with them. In conclusion the place was very nice and cool themed and I’m sure to come back one day:)“

“Hands down the best shrimp fried rice in area! which IMHO one of two dishes to gauge the quality of any Chinese food place. If you can’t make really good shrimp fried rice how can anyone trust their other dishes, like sesame chicken, or brown sauce on other ones?“
