“Coming from Arabic Family and growing partially in an Arab country I am very critical when it comes to Arabic food. I must say Ilili didn’t disappoint ! The food is actually ESPECTACULAR! I traveled to my childhood memories with every bite. The hummus with pine nuts and mushrooms is delicious, and the shawarma duck and fried kibbeh so good. Please do yourself a favor and close with a KNAFE“

“Food was great as usual. We had the mixed grill appetizer which is plenty for a meal. The flavors are amazing. And everything was cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the greens and eggplant. Service was attentive but not too much. The overall experience was terrific and we will be back! Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant!“

“Came here on a Saturday night, food was excellent but pricey for what it was. Maybe it's because I've been to many mom and pop spots in Queens NY with just as delicious food for half the price nevertheless its a great spot. Highlights include the soup, dumplings, and any of the hand pulled noodle dishes.“

“Every bite we had here was delicious. Their Lapis Old Fashioned is delectable and Trilogy is a fun take on Mezcal. The Lamb Shank absolutely dissolved in my mouth. The Lamb Masala had incredible flavor and Mahee had a wonderful crust. We had a hard time deciding on the best dessert. The Cacao, Sheer Berenj, Sheer Yakh, and some pistachio cake were a perfect sweet finish.“

“The outside is worn down and not very inviting but everything changed once inside. Bright, clean, interior and I was greeted warmly. I had the Koshary and the server explained the traditional way of eating it. I followed his advice and was amazed by the flavors and textures. Highly recommend.“

“My first time trying this place, I was on my way to work running late...stop to grab tacos to go...but I sat down to eat just ONE taco and told myself I'll save the rest for work....a long story short, i ended up late for work because i couldnt stop eating the rest of my food...the food was so good i couldnt get UP, i had to finish the rest, it was so DELICIOUS...!!!! BEST TACOS IN LAUREL!! ?“

“Excellent food and customer service! It's the first visit and definitely not the last. Their food it's fresh and with a lot of flavor! We came as a large group and we all tried different dishes. The mixed grill (delicious), combo rice bowl (amazing), hummus (creamy and authentic), chicken (soft and flavorful) and stuffed grape leaves (tasty). Make sure you try both of their sauces, so so so good! Didn't get a chance to take a picture as we were eating as soon as the food touched the table :).The staff checked how was the food and if we needed anything during our visit.Overall, this will be our place to go for good food! You must try it, and you won't regret!“

“Service was excellent and food was pretty good. The prawn vindaloo and daal fry, in particular, were tasty. However, portions are quite small for the price (and seemed to have shrunk, along with an increase in $ over the last year or two) so wouldn’t say it’s good value for money, especially when compared to other comparable Indian restaurants in the DMV.“

“This is a place is awesome. I ordered samosa and a lamb gyro. I have never been asked if I wanted my gyro spicy. But I was, and I must say this was the best gyro I have ever had. Everything was fresh and delicious also loved the samosas!!!! I will be back for more menu items“

“**Ode to Chicken Fingers**Oh, crispy delights of golden hue,You beckon from the menu, true.Bathed in seasoned flour, kissed by oil,You ignite taste buds, a savory coil.Your tender flesh, a secret revealed,A symphony of crunch, a flavor field.Dipped in sauces, a saucy affair,Honey mustard, barbecue, or buffalo flair.From humble beginnings, you emerge,A humble bird transformed, a culinary surge.Fried to perfection, a crispy embrace,Each bite a celebration, a savory grace.In crowded diners or late-night dives,You're the star, the one that thrives.Accompanied by fries, a match made divine,Together, you dance on taste buds' fine line.So here's to you, chicken fingers bold,A handheld joy, a story untold.May your crunch echo through generations,Forever satisfying our hunger's sensations.**Bon appétit, crispy comrades!**“

“The food here is wonderful. Their chapli kabob were my favorite. So flavorful. Their Chana masala were also really good.Was not a fan of their spinach curry at all. And I really wish they had real cups for water. They only had small Styrofoam cups and you have to fill up the water yourself from the corner. Very annoying and takes away from the dinner experience. Such an easy thing to fix as well, will have a lot of impact in the customer comfort.“

“Funny enough, this place was mentioned in a Reddit thread for hidden gems in DC. The food was highly praised, and the original poster gave a special shout out to the website (I highly recommend checking it out; it’s seriously a delight).This was enough for me to check it out for myself, and it was absolutely fantastic. Super reasonable prices, the girl who made my food was so sweet, and everything I had was delicious. I got a pork belly bahn mi and chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce.Solid food, solid experience ?“

“I eat here once or twice a week and it's consistently great. They serve huge portions of delicious food and the staff is super nice. You can't go wrong here if you're in the mood for or something fast, tasty, and inexpensive. Lamb/chicken with rice or the gyro are my go-to and they never disappoint. Bonus points because the owner looks a bit like Lou Ferrigno“

“Amazing chicken and just to warn you it is extra spicy. We got the medium and hot chicken sandos and the medium is hot and the hot is extra hot. We had the entire medium and half of the hot one. We also got mild and medium chicken tenders as well as the hot and extra hot chicken bites and my wife had a hot one and it was quite hot and well save the extra hot and rest of food for tomorrow for dinner. We got UberEats BOGO deals which made the food very cheap. So glad we tried Hangry Joes!“

“We were so focused on enjoying the great food that we didn't take any pictures. Mohsin was great on the phone as well as in person. Came to the table to check on us and solicit feedback. Explained their philosophy and what makes their food stand out from the rest. Will definitely go back and this time take pictures!“

“I bought iftar items and beef haleem today from this place today as take outs. Their food is excellent. Please try their iftar items sold specially during Ramadan. I also like their singaras/ samosas, chicken kababs and haleem. Their halwa puri is great too. However , I request the owners to up their game on biriyanis, the biriyanis could be better. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“A lovely Ethiopian restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, the owners are very welcoming. I've had the Kitfo here, some other beef dishes, and lamb. I haven't tried everything so far, but the Kitfo is definitely my favourite! I recommend getting it 100% raw - I haven't gotten sick from eating it and it goes to show you how clean the food prep and restaurant is. Also, the owners sell lentils and Injera chips which are AMAZING. Very well done!“

“This is my 2nd time ordering from this restaurant and spot on. The pizza and burgers are a good portion are tasty, and also Halal if you are wondering. An update to my review as I have ordered the fried chicken with caramelized onion, and it is really good and satisfying.“

“All vibes. Esthetics were dope..especially for us hoop heads! Wings with the house sauce are a must order. All staff were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Service was fast considering the amount of orders while we were there. Would definitely return again and would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal in the DC area.“

“Fantastic food! I ordered the kofta and yogurt drink. But the best part was the naan that came with the platter! Soft yet crunchy, fresh and perfectly charred. The kofta was seasoned well. And the yogurt drink was perfectly salted.Kid-friendliness: Fine to bring kids here, counter service style means it’s more relaxed“

“Enjoyed RASA opening day in Crystal City, Arlington, National Landing location. Many dining options with classic bowls and DIY selections. Food is superb and inexpensive, staff is fast, efficient and friendly. Start off with cocktails, blended with masala, cardamom, tamarind. Try the masala chai soft serve. Look forward to return visits, best wishes for continued success.“

“Authentic Desi food. BIG PORTIONS It is so tasty and spicy. We asked for spicy food and it had good amounts of spice. HALAL FOOD People are so nice here. They give complimentary chai They give more food than you are expecting and the portions are really big. Two people can get full easily. The place is in a small plaza called trinity square“

“I had the chance to order platters for an event, and they truly surpassed my expectations. The platters were beautifully arranged, and the guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. I was also thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure the food was ready for pickup on short notice.“

“When I first came to Shah’s, I did not know if it would be better than the competition. After taking my first bite, I instantly knew, that shahs halal was the greatest things Allah has ever created. Easily the greatest chicken and lamb platter I have ever had in my life. The greatest.“

“Bantam King is my go-to spot for a great meal when in downtown DC. I lived right by here for 2 years, and every time I went to Bantam King, I had a fantastic meal.I've eaten a ton of fried chicken in my life all over the US, and a decent amount across DC. I can absolutely say that their fried chicken platter is some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. I've also had the chicken ramen. Both my wife, who is a huge ramen lover, and I think it's fantastic.I also enjoy the mint sweet tea, and the desserts are really good as well. The atmosphere is super fun as well, great for any small group or couples.You probably won't be able to get in with a massive group (it's a small space)...but that's not what this place is really for.I've eaten here on my birthday the past 2 years, and I see that continuing in the future.“

“I saw the great reviews so I passed by to try it, and it didn't disappoint! I got the Combo over rice platter with some salad. The portions were generous for $11.99 INCLUDING a drink. If you don't like spicy stuff definitely stay away from the hot sauce! The truck is easy to find, and I highly recommend it!“

“Simply delicious and tastes so awesome. I drove past by so many times but never gave a try at this food truck. I was surprised by the quantity and quality of the food. Must try chicken over rice, I have posted the picture of the plater as well.“

“Delicious, generously portioned, and reasonably priced food in Ballston is a rare treasure. The platters can easily feed two people and are protein-packed no matter which option you choose. The naan and chickpeas are especially wonderful. We'll absolutely be coming back again!!“

“Food is absolutely delicious and the staff at Himalayan Doko are the kindest! We ate family style and all the dishes were so full of flavor. The Tandoori Chicken Wings and the Lamb Rogan Josh were my favorites, but you can't go wrong with any dish - everything I tried was delicious.I am also so, so appreciative of how they were able to accommodate our reservation of a large party (20+ people). We had a great time and our time here was very memorable. One of my favorite restaurants in D.C., I will be back!“

“You absolutely must order the Tandoori Naan. It is phenomenal. Best and freshest naan I have had in a long long long time. They make it fresh to order in a legit tandoori oven. I’m so impressed.We came here because we had a bike flat tire and stopped at the trek store next door. What a gem. Had Seekh chicken Kabab wrap (fresh naan, so warm and chick n kebab with an awesome spice mix. Fresh veggies and some sort of yogurt sauce) and then the goat curry for $18 includes naan and blew us out of the water. So yummy. If I’m back in the neighborhood I will return but be warned you have to wait for your naan since it’s made to order so be prepared to wait!Be prepared for a hole in the wall but the clerk was very nice.“

“This restaurant is located outside of the mall next to Five guys. Clean location with friendly staff and fresh ingredients. Everything was in stock. I ordered the falafel and personally didn’t like it because I found it kind of tough and dry. I’ve ordered chicken kebab and lamb here in the “

“The tandoori chicken (asked them to make it extra spicy) is the best I’ve had in the city. Comes with rice/naan and chickpeas. Not ideal to dine in though. Just take out.Unlike most reviews here I do NOT recommend the butter chicken. Tangy/sour, runny and a strong tomato flavor and a whole lot of food coloring. Not authentic.“

“Just came here for lunch with a coworker and the place was completely empty. I think part of it was because we did come a little early (11:40am-ish), but left at 12:30pm and still no other people ate inside. There were people picking up orders or door-dash deliveries, etc. In any case, we sat down and the service was very fast and courteous. I ordered the Pad See Ewe and it arrived promptly (and super hot too!). The portions were decent and our water was filled once. It was super quiet, so not sure how the vibe is on a Friday or Saturday night. When we paid, the waitress (who I think may have been the owner?) arrived with a ipad where we simply tapped our credit cards and put in a tip. NGL, I like to tip in cash, so I preemptively took out my cash to show the waitress I was not going to forget tipping her, all the while I tapped "no tip" - even though I did tip her! Haha. Overall, a great lunch spot and I will definitely come back here. My only thing I would comment is that there are not a lot of parking spots in front of the restaurant.“

“I've been looking for a good and tasty kabob cuisine. After trying many times in different spots , this has come to be my number 1 spot from now onPrice is somewhat reasonableWill say tho, when looking for this address will take you a building with few other offices and you might think it's the wrong place, here you can only order take-out or online.“

“First time here. The food was really fresh and there are many options for proteins and toppings. I built my own bowl and was happy to learn it came with unlimited toppings. It was easy to choose healthy options or just go all out for a delicious high calorie meal. We will definitely be coming back many more times.“

“The food I ordered (lamb & goat w/ rice) was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ginger & pineapple drink is made with a kick of a spicy ingredient but it is very refreshing.Overall you get a good portion for your money.Be patient, the service is a little slow but the food is worth the wait.“

“Was driving by and noticed it’s location very easy to spot so I had to try it and I’m glad I did MOST AMAZING FLAVORS the food was great the service was friendly and very attentive to the customers, definitely a must try if you love Mediterranean food an nice change from what has been there. I highly recommend “

“Ordered to go and the food came pretty hot and sauced and I got all the sauces on the side even tho I didn't ask for it which is nice. The rice and chicken were good veggies were crisp red sauce is hot green was like a mild sauce and the white sauce I feel like is good but not as good as some other white halal sauces I've had. I would def try its affordable healthy quick and large portions.“

“Me and husband recently got food from this carry out spot during a late night after we finished a concert in DC. The food was tasting delicious and fresh, even though it was late night!?The staff were nice as well. Please give this spot a try, if you get the chance!?“

“Even though it is a hike for us from Virginia to MD, we can't help but make the trip at least once a month. Halal food aside, it is simply one of the best Chinese food places around.Vegetarian options: There are many. They are super flexible in a la carte style preparation if you just tell what you wantParking: Plenty available any time i visit“
