Ravi Kabob is a Virginia institution as far as Pakistani food is concerned. The Karai is good and the chick peas are exceptional. Grilled meats are pathetic. Avoid them. They have no clue as to what constitutes a bbq chicken tikka. Perhaps being away from home base has clouded their memory. Serving is generous and prices are low but you see people from all over the tri state area mingling there. So yes i would recommend Ravi for a quick chicken karai fix but thats about it. Oh do ask for the chick peas. ( chana masala ). They r free with a meal.

Impeccable customer service. Food is great but the people are what really makes this place one of my favorite to go to. Great halwa puri.

We used to go to Ravi Ia couple of years ago and it used to be much more better. We came to Ravi II today but it was really lousy, cleanliness at the lowest standards that I have ever seen at any place in the are especially that we are taking post Corona life. The floors are sticky, the tables are sticky, the bathrooms are gross the bathroom knobs are sticky! Please clean it up! Just please! One more thing, why are they still asking for cash after all these years! Now the food was just ok. The ambiance made the whole experience average.

gross. a group of dirty taxi drivers hang out there and scream in some language as you try to eat. the food is old. not fresh.

Boneless or bone-in chicken kabob are the best entrees to order here. Each entree comes with chickpeas, cooked to perfection and slathered over rice and naan. Other chefs eat here when they want to get away from their own restaurants! Five stars!

The best place for kabobs in Washington

First time eating here based on a recommendation from a friend. The food was tasty wholesome and plentiful. The service was minimalist which I liked. The food arrived promptly and the server checked back once to make sure everything was OK. The warm flat bread was awesome. Parking was right outside the door which was most welcome in Arlington. All we could eat for four; chicken, rice, salad, flat bread and chickpeas for $51 bucks. Will be back.

I went here on a recommendation from a colleague while in the area. They had 2 locations right across from each other. I'm assuming they are very similar. I only had the chicken kabobs which were pretty good. The atmosphere of this place is lacking though.
Great kababs for years! Their bone in chicken kabobs have been a favorite in the family for a long time. Open late during Ramzan.

I've been to the other location a bunch of times but this was my first time at the second location. I got the chicken kabobs with rice, chickpeas, naan, and a veggie samosa. Food was good, but i didn't find it as good as the other place. The chickpeas were disappointing but the dry samosa that had been sitting under a heat lamp all day was worse. Probably the worst samosa I've had anywhere. That said, I really enjoyed my chicken kabob. So where does this leave me? I'm a big fan of Ravi Kabob. I've ordered food for our my entire office from there before. This location isn't terrible, but it isn't special either. I'm the future I'll stick with the other location...which to be clear-is across the street.

Some of the best Pakistani food I've had outside of Pakistan; this place has been a family favorite for us since 2003.
