The food is good and decently priced.
The sidewalk outside needs washed. Icky.“

“First time here on a Friday night. We had reservations that were mixed up. Even though the restaurant was expected to be full they accommodated the 6 of us. The owner came over to greet us. I told him that this was my first visit. (Everyone else had been several times) Oh then he proceeded to bring bite size samples for me to try. He then offered up suggestions as to what I need to have for an appetizer, main course and even dessert. Food bursts with flavor. But the real experience here was the service. First class. Thank you all for the dining experience.“

“Super yummy Afghan food and very affordable! I got the kabob combo with steak and chicken for around $20 during lunch, and it was so flavorful and filling. The owner (I think) was the nicest uncle ever — he even gave me free Afghan soup while I waited for my food. The chickpeas and salad on the side were fresh and tasty too.

The place itself is clean and cozy, just like the name says — literally a corner restaurant with a warm, welcoming vibe. Also, the owner speaks Spanish fluently which was so cool to see! Definitely coming back!“

“This is a favorite personal stop for me and my family. We’ve been coming here for years and have never experienced a meal that wasn’t delicious. The food is wonderfully seasoned with tons of character and vibrant colors. The dish can evolve as you move from one side of your plate to another. My favorite dish, the Kadu Palow, is divided into a hearty beef stew, a well-seasoned rice, and an insanely delicious pumpkin. Each part of the dish offers a unique taste profile that goes from beefy to salty to a sweet with some yogurty-tang. It’s crazy how many flavors can live on just one plate and offer new experiences by mixing these taste ecosystems. Their decor is classy and a little fun with little die-cast cars lining the bar. The owner is super nice and always greets our family warmly. The restaurant is a staple in my life and their food has never failed to leave me heading home happy. If you haven’t been here, do yourself a favor and try the food.“

“This was one of the quickest 5 star reviews I’ve written. My wife and I were craving Kabobs for lunch and came across Mazar Kabob while in centreville.

Our experience was exceptional. Greated warmly and professional, the menu is robust and great offerings small and large. We order two combo Kabobs. While waiting we were offered complementary chicken soup with was delicious.

The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and well-kept. The food itself was incredible! Portions were very generous, the meats were tender and perfectly cooked (not dry or overdone at all), and the flavors were bold, fresh, and well seasoned. Everything tasted authentic and high quality.

The manager also stopped by our table to check in on our experience, which really showed how much they care about their customers.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing kabobs. This place is a standout. I will absolutely be returning!“

But the star of the show was their Shalgham which is their stewed turnips. Every bite was so flavorful and delicious and I usually do pickup but their inside is also well decorated and cozy. The staff were also very friendly and they always put in Nan bread in my order which I always appreciate.“

“Nothing has changed. I enjoy coming to this Grill Kabob. This restaurant is located in Herndon, VA, off of Elden Street. The owner is always attentive and friendly, so welcoming that you'd think you've known each other for years. When I visit this restaurant, I usually order the kobeeda Chicken combo platter. It's one of their signature dishes. The portions or platter is enough for two people easily, and the two different rice combinations are a great tasting variety in this platter. The food is cooked over a flaming grill, slowly and meticulously, and it's fun to watch them prepare this great tasting combo platter. However, if you want to tantalize your taste buds; ask for the spicy sauce, I think it's for the pita bread for dipping. Yet, admittedly, it adds so much flavor to the meats (that is) if you let it soak in a little. But that's just my humble opinion. Like I said, the pita bread that is oven baked and so soft that I use it to dip into the spicy sauce as well. The pita bread compliments the meal. I can't imagine anyone nor enjoy this particular dish. So if you have a hankering for Mediterranean food, definitely visit Grill Kabob because you won't be disappointed.“

“Yesterday was my 1st time visiting VA Kabob House here in Springfield. Being a fan of Afghan cuisine, I had to stop by as soon as possible. Their $11.99 Chicken Kabob Lunch Special advertised on the window had me drop everything I was doing at the moment, just to walk in and try their food out...and let me tell you....Their food is seasoned and flavored to perfection. Staff is very friendly and upon placing your order, you are offered a complementary plate of their chicken soup which is made from scratch..I ended up placing a side order of the soup and I finished everything on my plate in one sitting; kabob, rice, salad, chick peas, bread and all. I'm here again today ordering the same thing as I'm typing this review. I highly recommend VA Kabob House in Springfield, Virginia. anytime you are hungry, especially lunchtime...

One more thing....I don't really care for soup, but their chicken soup is really damn good and I'm not sure if other Kabob spots have their own soup, but VA Kabob House's soup alone is worth the visit, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite Kabob spots in all of Northern VA.“
