“Absolutely my favorite lunch spot in Fairfax. I’ve been eating here for 5 years now and the place is like home.. friendly and loving staff with the Absolute most delicious kabobs (IMO).. The only downside here is I live in faqr co.“

“Love that the guy behind the counter felt the need to share some ethnic tv show from his country with the customers. It had women wailing and dancing . Of course he had it turned up at a robust volume so all could enjoy. 🙄
The food is good and decently priced.
The sidewalk outside needs washed. Icky.“

“In a world where customer service is scarce, this place goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed AND appreciated. It’s not fake! It’s not forced, it’s just an amazing positive environment.
The food: phenomenal. I’ve frequented the restaurant a few times in the short time I found them and everything I’ve had is SEASONED to perfection. I’ve had the chicken, beef, and lamb kabobs. Whichever meat you prefer to eat, choose that! Cant go wrong with any of their kabobs. I had a dish with meat sauce and rice, and a few different sides. My favorite side are the potatoes. Those potatoes are made with love!
Overall, if you’re thinking about trying this place out, go for it!! If you don’t know what to try, just ask them!“

I found the food to be flavorful and authentic. The dishes were well prepared, and the portions were satisfying.

😊 Service
The service was good and attentive, which made the overall experience enjoyable.

🪑 Ambience
The ambience feels a bit dated, and the seating/booths could definitely use an update to match the quality of the food and service.

⭐ Overall
For me, it’s a great place for the food and service, but with some improvements to the interior, it could be even better.“

“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!“

“We came based on the amount of good reviews and it didn’t not disappoint! Some of the best butter chicken and chicken tikka we’ve had! We’re not local but already planning on coming back.“

“To start, I had the Chicken Kabob w/Kabuli Rice. As well as a few sides: Cauliflower chickpeas,Kadoo Borani (pumpkin) which is my favorite. 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.“

“I have been going to eat Kabab at famous Kabab in Manassas for several years. We have had lunch last week . I knew last owner and was good person and good food services . I saw new designs of famous Kabab Year of 02/04/2026 . It looks very super clean modern chairs and tables with great afghan culture designs . Mr yousef served our order and the food was excellent very delicious with new owner and new management. I highly recommend this place to my family and friends to enjoy eat food at famous Kabab .“

As you all know, there are lots of kabob restaurants, and I personally tried most of them. Flame Kabob stands out with the most delicious, fresh, authentic, and hygienic food, generous portions, and it’s the most budget-friendly restaurant ever!

Their food has the best flavor and an aroma you will definitely enjoy with every bite. You might think about placing another order immediately, because you will eat your first order in a heartbeat! Yeah! It’s that delicious, I mean it!
Just a note, all dishes on the menu are Mom’s special secret recipes.

Besides, the restaurant is clean and has a unique warm and cozy atmosphere. Everyone is absolutely friendly and kind, with a positive attitude where you will feel quite welcomed.

Once you try the food here, you certainly will become a regular.“

“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.“

“I just stopped in here by chance because the chain store restaurant next-door was cold, but I’m so glad I did. This is authentic, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine homemade. in fact you can see in the image that grandmother is cooking over an authentic grill and a ceramic oven is used to make fresh homemade bread. I ordered the Gyro salad. And it’s delicious. The portions are large and the sauces are amazing. They have a green sauce that is excellent. In addition to the tzatziki. From the minute you walk in smells good. It’s warm. It feels authentic with grandma cooking. The salad was very fresh and the gyro meat was delicious. I highly recommend this place. The prices are reasonable too.“

“VA Kabob House is absolutely amazing! The kabobs are incredibly delicious—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The service was just as fantastic as the food: friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for great kabobs and outstanding customer service, VA Kabob House is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“
