Afghan Restaurants near Lorton, VA

“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.“

“The best authentic afghan food in the greater Washington area. My family and I host a lot of social gatherings and we have tried other afghan restaurants but for authentic cuisine and friendly afghan customer service there’s no beating Dunya. The owner (Mr. Abbasi) is a pleasure to do business with and extremely honest and more than fair in all his dealings which makes him our go to guy for all our families catering needs.“

“We were visiting from California and came across this restaurant near our hotel. The food and service was great, the portions were large and the price was very good. We loved the food and the traditional afghan ice cream (house made Sheryakh). Very friendly staff.“

“The best restaurant in the DMV area! amazing halal food and 10/10 customer service! �“

“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.“

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

“So glad I found this place. The food was delicious & flavorful, very authentic. The portions are very large & worth the price. The gentlemen at the front were very helpful & polite when I picked my order up. The inside had beautiful tapestries & decor & nice music playing. I definitely will return.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is definitely the best-kept secret in Woodbridge! We came once, and have never stopped coming. I came with a friend, and returned with my sons, and came back with my niece. I have eaten many South Asian cuisines, and none compares to this one. I can eat here all week and come back for the weekend. It's hard to decide on the best-tasting food here. The Rice Briyani is the best I've ever had anywhere. The lamb curry is so yummy! The chic peas are unbelievable delicious - melts in your mouth, we had to order extra to go after eating in! If you try the crab balls, you won't stop eating it. And the somosas - wow! Not to talk about the hot-fresh and fluffy naan! The menu is vast, and it doesn't matter what you order, it's finger-licking delicious. Plus the price is great, and the service wonderful! Anyone who goes there needs to salute the chef - he's cooking up "AMAZING"! WE WILL BE BACK!“

“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.“

“Tasty Kabob has really good fried chicken. You can tell they make it fresh, and it always comes out hot and crispy. We’ve also tried the gyros, which were really good too. Honestly, we haven’t explored much more of the menu yet, but I know they have burgers as well and we’ll probably try them next time we visit.
Overall, their fried chicken is definitely worth trying.“

“Zaffron is hands down the best caterer in the DMV! They catered my sister’s wedding and everything was flawless.From the service to the mouthwatering food. Our guests are still talking about it. Highly recommend for any event!“

“Twice a week, that's where I go. The food selection is nicely done, I get to sit down and enjoy my food and I come across so many friends and families, whom go there often. At a time when so many of us want to get on with our lives, it's good to have places around such as Afghan Grill Kabob, it's a restaurant that takes me back to a time ,,, before all this trouble of COVID started. The owner is my friend; "Brother Basir," and he does an exceptional job at serving great food. Some reviewers have been wrongfully mean-spirited in their remarks about that man and I've found all of them to be untrue and irresponsible. If those same so-called experts can cook better than he does, go and work for him, even though Basir will make fools of them, in a one on one food making contest. His service is sincere, he is a man's man and Brother Basir is very much into the macho scene, just like me. We both tell it like it is and I can't give him a better compliment than that ... my customer advice? Sit down one day at his place, eat some food and let us start "GROWING UP" around him, my friends. This is a good place to eat, tell your friends.“

“Food was just perfect and the staff is very friendly. The lamb was just amazing!“

“The lamb was the best I’ve ever had I’ve had lamb from Norfolk but the one I had from Norfolk wasn’t as good as this this lamb was top tier along with the rice and spinach everything was perfect as well as the shwarma I’d definitely recommend to everybody solid 10/10“
