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.
I ordered the lamb shank qabuli pulaw via Door dash. My entire meal was so delicious! The lamb was tender, the chickpeas were how I like them, and the pulaw was tasty. The carrots in the pulaw seemed to be very sweet. I wonder if they add sugar to the carrots while cooking. I hope not! I can’t wait to try other dishes in their menu. I also thought it was reasonably priced.

Small family owned. Excellent food prepared in generous portions. I usually get at least two and sometimes 3 meals from a kebab platter. I especially recommend the spinach & the chickpeas.

You WILL NOT be disappointed in the food or service. We are happy customers and the family meal is amazing. I get giddy just heading for the place. We often swap beef kofta for chicken and prefer all white sauce and it's perfection every single time. I love the spinach. When is the Washington Post going to put Arlington Kabob in its place with other eats on Langston? It is hands down a top eatery! #washingtonpostVegetarian options: Falafel, spinach, chickpeas, lentils
Definitely one of the best kabob restaurants I've had in a long time. Each kabob was super tasty, flavorful, and incredibly tender, including the lamb kabobs! The brown rice with the white yogurt sauce goes so well with the kabobs too! Portions are generous, especially the size of the naans. We got the combo platter for 3 and I would definitely order this again; no complaints about any of the items included in the meal.Pics were taken after my wife had taken her portion, hence, why it may not look like much, but do know that we still had plenty of leftovers after this meal.
Great flavor, generous portions, and friendly staff.

Crazy this place doesn't have a higher score (It used to be like 4.8?); never had a bad meal. In fact, I'd say this place serves better kabob/Afghan (if a limited menu) than 99% of the US.

I had an exceptional experience at Arlington Kabob! The customer service surpassed expectations, and the food was not only amazing but also incredibly fresh. The prices were remarkably reasonable, and their attentiveness, such as providing butter and sauces, added a thoughtful touch. The dishes were impeccably clean, and the food presentation was exemplary. The only suggestion for improvement would be to consider expanding the dining area. The free tea was a delightful surprise, adding to the overall positive experience. It's no wonder they have such high ratings on Google—choosing them based on those reviews was absolutely right! A heartfelt thank you for the fantastic dining experience with friends and family. If I could, I would give them a 10 out of 5.

Beef and chicken were tender and delicious. I loved the chickpeas .. they were tasty and spicy. Will definitely come back.
We got takeout for dinner and tried the chicken kabob and beef kabob. They come with rice, naan, and a vegetable (we tried the chickpeas and salad). The beef kabob was very tender!!! The chicken was just okay but i think it’s hard to make an impressive chicken.The bread was really really good especially with the green sauce they give you! We wish it had a spicy sauce or something for the rice. We placed our order over the phone and it was ready fast - very convenient and good service.
