“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious.

“Reasonably priced drinks and karaoke was fun!“

“Walked in and was greeted immediately by the friendly young man behind the counter. Seating area was clean. Food and service both amazing! We got the chicken shawarma lunch special and it was delicious. Will definitely be returning soon!“

“Thank you Ana“

“I have gone twice and both times have been amazing. There is a good variety of flavorful food to choose from. I love the chicken kabobs. They are so good and juicy. But my favorite is the rice. I'm not familiar with all the names but every type I've tried has been good. On top of the great food is the friendly and welcoming staff. This is some of the best kabob I've had in the area. And to have a buffet lunch is a dream come true.“

“The interaction with the lady at the counter is often a cause of worry. It could be me, but her anxiety and stress levels are thru the roof all the time. It just makes me feel guilty for coming and giving them business. Honestly, this cant be good for her health.The food is scrumptious. Authentic Lebanese food to a South Asian pallette. Wont disappoint.Would go there again ... And be as gentle as possible. Yikes!“

“The cutes place! Yummy wines and food! Great service!! Highly recommend!“

“Yummy food! Choice of bowls, pita wrap or salad with your choice of meat, veggies, and grains. Hummus is good and yummy fruit drinks on fountain.“

“Delicious food! We will be back!“

“Delicious food and super thoughtful staff
I ordered a mint and Turkish coffee to start with the intention of ordering lamb. When the sheep came, I was surprised in an interesting way by the presentation of the dish. The sheep is butter, soft, and cooked in the literal sense and looks exactly the same as it did in the menu, bones and all.“

“All good .Nice staff. Great bread“

“Great food, very fresh and nice staff.“

“Just left, great experience, the food was great! I will be back!“

“I’ve been to a couple of Afghan Kabob restaurants but this one was truly really great and tasty. The food was delicious and the customer service was the best. I highly recommend trying out Fairfax Kabob!“

“This place is ONE of the best in the Woodbridge area.

The menu offers a range of dishes that showcase Middle Eastern and South Asian flavors. The lamb was a standout—juicy and perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes are generous, making it great value for the price.

The staff at Shah's Halal is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. They’re happy to make recommendations and ensure that your experience is pleasant.“

“Halal Kingz is literally the ONLY place I will buy falafel from in Woodbridge. I always have an amazing experience with the staff and Umer is so pleasant, helpful, and accommodating! As soon as I came in, he greeted me and was more than willing to offer pleasant customer service! It goes a long way when you have people who genuinely care about the impression they leave. Umer was certainly that. Much love to the Halal Kingz!“

“We check reviews in the area and they had some good reviews so we drove from 234 to give them a try well worth it !!! My 21 yr old som said best naan and green sauce he has ever had!!! Whole family was very impressed we will definitely be visiting again!!“

“Might actually be better than Cava. The chicken chicken which was recommended to me by the server was better than I had thought. Super filling!

Just a heads up if you chose a signature plate they will make it without any additional inquiries. I thought I was being ignored after suggesting it but she was speeding along and I was an idiot assuming the worst.

Utensils are near the entrance doors along with napkins, grabs one since they aren't placed in the bag for to gos, or at least not for mine.“

“Creative menu and the food was excellent! Servers were next level good.“

“Best all you can eat during Ramadan! Authentic Syrian and Lebanese food for the serious foodie! Best kibbe! Well worth my taste buds!“

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“Me and my wife have ordered delivery from your Newark, DE location many times. we have explored almost the entire menu and have not been disappointed. My wife loves the chicken kofta and I'm a huge fan of the lamb over rice. We will continue to patronize your business because the quality and flavor is top tier!“

“Excellent food. The owner is a great chef and the staff are very friendly. Chicken kebabs are the best.“

“Meeting with my Greek contractor, James Kifonidis, at Image Kitchen & Bath, on the other side of Hunter Mill Road from SouvlakiBar, I mentioned how disappointed I am with them, describing my one and only visit. He recommended Plaka in Vienna. Following our meeting, I went there for lunch.

In contrast, Plaka is five star! Chicago Gyro immediately caught my eye on the menu, so I ordered it along with Humus, Spanakopita, and a Mythos Beer. Growing up in the seventies and having many dining experiences at the truly legendary landmark Greektown restaurant, The Parthenon, on Halstead Street in Chicago, I can verify that Plaka indeed is serving Chicago-style gyro.

Chicago-style gyros are characterized by a balance of savory, garlicky, and herby flavors, with a mix of textures from the thinly shaved, crispy outside of the vertically rotisserie-grilled lamb and beef mix, and a tender inside. Creamy tzatziki sauce—a yogurt-based sauce with cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill—adds a cool, tangy, and creamy contrast to the savory, spiced meat. Fresh vegetables like tomatoes and onions, served wrapped in warm pita bread, complete the dish.

The two appetizer triangle-shaped spanakopita were flavor-balanced, featuring all fresh ingredients—spinach, the foundation ingredient, and feta—wrapped in thin flaky layers of phyllo brushed with olive oil.

The small, unassuming spot, seating only 24 guests, serves high-quality Greek fare made with care and pride, in my opinion and experience. I arrived at 2:30 PM last Thursday, and lucky for me, there was one seat available.“

“Good selection of manaeesh/flat breads and pies!“

“Great food!! very friendly!!!“

“We frequent this restaurant as takeout for office meetings. It is a casual option for middle eastern food and the quality is consistent. My rating of "4" reflects relative to other similar restaurants.

While we enjoy kubideh kabob, chicken kabob and ground chicken kabob -- I find the chicken is always the most tender. The basmati rice is very tasty as well.

The pita bread is very fresh and tasty. The hummus is a good addition to the bread.

All in all a reliable and good choice for a casual middle eastern meal“

“Pan AM Family Restaurant gets all stars from me. Their meals, especially their Gyro platters and sandwiches are the best across the State. I have eaten there many times with my family and friends, and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend the delicious food, fantastic atmosphere and especially the detail to service and smiles. It’s worth every dollar and you will leave happy, full and wanting to come back. Great job !! Great Food !! Great Service !!“

“The service very good and fast, with a qualified and friendly staff, the girl who helped me with my order explained each of the ingredients and the cost for acquiring extra things. The manager was very friendly and asked if I had a comfortable visit.

“What a lovely market and an even lovelier owner! His generosity and hospitality made me feel like I was back in Lebanon. 10/10 would recommend this market and also the rice pudding was delicious. Will definitely be returning!“

“Kabab heaven found! I'm still drooling thinking about the most tender, juicy, and flavorful lamb kababs I devoured at this incredible restaurant! The generous serving size was a welcome surprise, but it was the explosion of flavors that left me speechless. Each bite was a masterclass in charcoal-grilled perfection!

But that's not all - the deliciousness was elevated by a fresh, crisp salad on the side, perfectly dressed and utterly refreshing. And let's not forget the two amazing sauces - a tangy, herby delight and a creamy, slightly spicy dream! Both were so finger-lickingly good I wanted to bottle them up and take them home!

What truly sets this gem apart is the commitment to quality and authenticity. No bland, over-seasoned meat or soggy rice here! Just pure, unadulterated flavor that will leave you craving more. And the cleanliness? Impeccable! The staff? Friendly and welcoming!

This is now my official kabab paradise - I'll be back, again and again and again! If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for? Get ready for a flavor explosion that will leave you hooked!"“

“My rating reflects my overall impression but it would have been 5 stars if I was rating how this place meets the expectation of a quick street style halal food vendor. I had both sandwich and platter. Food is fresh, simple and good, service friendly and inside was clean. Exactly what I wanted for a quick lunch, and I'll be back for more when I need a quick and satisfying meal.“

“I was in heaven eating the yummy food! I love the ground beef & rice!“
