?‼️‼️‼️‼️Experienced extremely poor service at City Kabob in Arlington. The staff member was not only rude and hostile but also ignored basic food safety protocols by not washing his hands before preparing food, even handling keys while fixing and packing the meal. When confronted about these health code violations, the response was belligerent. It's alarming that such standards are overlooked. Please consider these serious issues before supporting this establishment.?‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Had a tasty Too Good To Go meal at City Kabob! I got the Kabob Platter which was a delicious mix of spicy Tandoori Chicken - perfectly cooked, soft, and seasoned. Very flavorful with a charcoal grill and was quite moist! Their Channa Masala was soft and packed a great spice blend that complimented the rice and chicken. The naan was a bit on the doughy side. The salad provided a fresh mix when combined with the spicy masala flavors. Overall, very delicious and good quality! Excited to try again!

I came in here last minute alone for iftar. From calling and the gentleman over the phone being so welcoming to coming in, everything was phenomenal. It’s hard getting good service anywhere and this place was so nice! I sat in my own booth, the gentleman even said I could have my own privacy by letting down the curtains. I even prayed in the back inside a smaller room. I’ll be honest the chicken was a 8/10 and the seekh kabob a 9/10 and the chickpeas a 10/10! They were so generous to give me some slight appetizers to break my fast for free and even gave me tea afterwards and when I asked for a biscuit or something the man said he has something as they were out of desserts. When I went to pay I even got a 10% discount since it was my first time and I didn’t get charged for the chai either. Love this place and will recommend to others too! AllahuAkbar

This was my first time eating Indian food; it was great. The service was amazing, we had the most respectful waiter ever. There was no wait and they were very welcoming.

I always go to this restaurant. Yesterday I went there to pickup my order and found they were offering free food to people who were fasting. Today I again went there to place an order. They offered me free food while I was waiting for my order since I was fasting.

Looking for worst tasting Indian food in DMV area - this is the place. I got food using TooGoodToGo app. I had read the recent reviews but thought of giving a try thinking how bad it can be but I gave a little too much benefit of doubt. It cost $7.69 for halal option - it came with butter chicken, chholay and rice. Chicken was chewy, rubbery and tasteless- gravy was overloaded with sugar for some reason and did not resemble butter chicken from anywhere. Chickpeas tasted boiled with minimum flavor but I could eat that when I am really sick and just want a patient diet. Rice was good. Anyone reading this review - you sir/ mam are really good cook. Just save yourself a trip and cook at home or heat up a store bought frozen butter chicken pack. Staff was super nice and greeted well though.
Used the Too Good to Go app for a deal. Received the butter chicken. Enough for one serving, imo. Sauce is creamy, Naan bread is good. Second time visiting. Will come back again.

The service, care, and culture of this place are superior! The food exceeds expectations by far: it's simple, tasty, and healthy. Great choice of vegetarian options too. Will come back again despite the fact I moved in MD.
