“what were some of the highlights at big red halal you ask?? THE CHICKEN.. and the red sauce🤤“

“I have been to this kabob house multiple times per recommendation from a friend and every experience does not disappoint. After experiencing multiple Kabob houses throughout the NOVA (Northern Virginia) region including Prince William, Fairfax, and Loudon counties I have to say that the kabobs at food corner house kabob house (FCK) are some the best bar none. The pita bread is soft and doughy, the kabobs are all seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the salad dressing and sides are top notch. The kabobs are consitently tender and nor hard or old and I know they are cooked correctly because there are grilled in such a way that there exists and exterior crunch followed by and explosion of moist flavor. The portions are stll substantial and the owner offers free soup and tea alongside the main meal. Speaking of the owner and crew, they are wonderful to deal with and its always a good conversation. They always listen to customer concerns are readily available to create custom meals on the fly. This place is a true gem, and I would be one of the first to recommend this kabob house if you are ever in the area.“

“We just celebrated our daughter's 50th birthday at Zamarod. Food was delicious. I think we had everything on the menu, which is quite extensive, and each dish was incredible. Highly recommend!!!“

“Had a main dish for lunch the other day, and two small plates for dinner later in the week. Absolutely fantastic food. Tasty, unique, with an abundance of interesting Menu options to explore. And the proportions are very sizable. Highly recommended!“

“Panjshir is one of our favorite restaurants. For years, we used to regularly go to their Vienna location but after it closed and we moved further out, it was a challenge to go to the Falls Church restaurant. With that said, we have missed their delicious food so we decided to brave the traffic and go. Even after all these years we were not disappointed. The quality and consistency of the food is exactly the same. I'm a vegetarian and their vegetarian offerings from kadu chalow to seib, plus several others are a vegetarian's delight. Their aush soup was delicious. My husband ordered an appetizer of bulanee kachalu and enjoyed every single bite of these fried potato and ground beef turnovers.
We definitely plan on going back.“

“Yummy! Yummy! I ordered from DoorDash, but I’m definitely gonna go there in person now as it was amazing 😋“

“Delicious kabobs and wonderful staff! Highly recommend!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Mazar Afghan Restaurant in Virginia! The food was amazing—fresh, delicious, and full of authentic Afghan flavor. Everything we tried was excellent, and you can really taste the care and quality in the food.

A special thank you to the young lady who served us. She was incredibly kind, respectful, friendly, and welcoming. Her service made our visit even more enjoyable. Everyone at the restaurant treated us with great respect and made us feel comfortable and welcomed.

It is not easy to find a restaurant where both the food and the customer service are this good. We truly enjoyed our time at Mazar and will definitely come back again with our family.

Highly recommended to anyone who loves authentic Afghan food, warm hospitality, and excellent service. Thank you, Mazar, for a wonderful experience! ❤🇦🇫“

“The food is very homelike, great taste, generous size. Personnel are friendly.“

“Amazing food and service! definitely will be going back!!“

“Was craving middle Eastern food and this cured everything I was craving!! Amazing prices too. The guy at the front (I think his name was Ahmed or Ohmed?) was very friendly and gave great recommendations. Super super helpful and they got a new customer. The spinach was so peak and paired perfectly with the rice. The chickpeas were perfectly seasoned and so so delicious. Ahmed recommended to mix the white and green sauce, it’s a must try. Perfectly cooked and spiced chicken. I never leave reviews but this place blew my mind. Don’t think twice and just go get it.“

“I ordered DoorDash had the Combination of Quabili Palau and Chalau, served with meat sauce and one skewer each of shami, chicken, and lamb kabob, and it was outstanding.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The Quabili Palau was rich and aromatic, the Chalau was delicious, and the meat sauce tied everything together beautifully. The kabobs were all excellent—the shami was tender and well-seasoned, the chicken was juicy, and the lamb was flavorful and perfectly grilled.

The portion size was generous, and the quality of the food was exceptional. The staff was friendly, and the overall experience was great. If you’re looking for authentic Afghan cuisine, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I’ve been coming here since 1999, and I must say, this place serves the best Kabob I’ve ever eaten. The food is delicious, and the sauces truly elevate the dish. The service is phenomenal, and they cook the food fresh on the spot. If you’re in the mood for a great Kabob meal and find yourself at Springfield Mall, you must try this place. I highly recommend the chicken—it’s amazing.“

“We love ordering their family meal. It easily feeds four for a full meal and more. Quick, high quality, delicious, and healthy. We’re regulars!“

“I had a great experience, the service and food quality were amazing. I got the best fish kabob and I can’t compare it with any other restaurant. The food was very tasty, good quality, good quantity and overall 10 out of 10. I will definitely visit again.“

“I’ve been to Reston Kabob several times over the years. I will say that their consistency doesn’t disappoint. I most recently ordered a catering order. I had so many people tell me that they loved the food and thanks for making that choice. Needless to say, a catering order will be happening again. More than just the food, the staff were extremely patient over the phone. Sincerely appreciate the service and quality.“
