I've been coming here for more than 15yrs(now 30yrs) now. This place is great. Awesome chickpeas, awesome chicken and lamb kebabs, the vegetarian plate is just fantastic. Now they have dough as well to drink.

The two brothers that own the place are always there and always friendly. They have had much the same kitchen staff the entire time I've been going there.

I ordered their lamb and keema kebab combo and it was sooooo good! It came with rice, naan bread, a salad and a side of haleem. . Their food is so good and I love their friendly staff. Oh, and they Dubai chocolates there which in my opinion are the best I’ve tried thus far. Definitely a must go if you like Afghanistan style kebabs.

We came here with a group of 9, and we all enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. The guys behind the counter were friendly and courteous, and we were served amazing hot tea at the end of our meal. It's a wonderful place for a large group to get together.

10/10 all around, portions are great, food is even better. Very friendly staff at the front who gave us a complimentary noodle soup that was delicious, and the vibe in the restaurant was great. Anytime I am back in the area I will be back :)

I’ve been coming to this place since I was a child, and in all my years, this has always been one of my favorite restaurants. The chicken keema is amazing. You can’t go wrong coming here.

Charcoal Kabab in Herndon is a solid spot overall. The food can be hit or miss, but when it’s good, it really hits the spot. Flavors are satisfying and worth it on a good day.

It tends to get very busy during Ramadan, so expect longer waits during peak times. Best to plan accordingly.

Great place for events and local gatherings.
