“The food is very tasty with lots of options. They have multiple locations in the area operating under the name of Aracocia. One recommendation I would make is to unify the names across all the locations to create a better brand recognition.Vegetarian options: Being a vegetarian, I didn’t have any problems finding something great to eat!“
“Great flavor and good service! Would definitely recommend taking advantage of all the different toppings, since that’s where the real flavor comes from. Also don’t forget to ask for extra Shawarma sauce on the side!Service was attentive, and they definitely let customers customize their orders to get what they want. The down side with more options is it can take a little longer to get your food. That said, the service was still reasonably timely, and I’d definitely come back.Parking: This location is inside the mall, so parking can be tricky at popular times.“
“A BIRYANI PARADISE WITH A GREAT WELCOMING TOUCH.This place is a gem for anyone looking to indulge in some of the best biryanis. They also do catering events where we had Chicken Keema Biryani, Goat dum biryani, and chicken lollipops. For vegetarians, they even had Jackfruit Biryani, Paneer Biryani. The warmth and hospitality of the owner and his personal engagement with guests reflects a commitment to excellence that is truly commendable. It is located inside Lotte Plaza Market.Must try: Goat dum biryani, chicken lollipops“
“I went to this amazing Greek restaurant, and the food was fantastic! The service was great too. They have delicious gyro, awesome steak, and tasty fries. It's a must-try place for a fantastic Greek meal! Everything was enjoyable and top of everything in the area.“
“Absolutely delicious!! Customer service is top notch too!I ordered chicken shawerma Arabi combo, beef shawerma Arabi combo, chicken shawerma wrap, beef kufta platter, chicken kebab platter. Loved the salad, grilled veggies, spices and garlic spread. Will come again and recommend to everyone.“
“I am a regular so a bit biased. I love the homey feel to the place. The food is the best. The breakfast is my favorite ever. I love that i can ask Hassan the chef for certain additions or tweeks ( as an Iraqi, we all have similar food but different minor changes) and he would support our cravings. He is the best.“
“Food is good, but nothing too special. However, I was extremely disappointed by the service. The owner basically made fun of me and my party for finishing the food too quickly by making a snarky comment, like "Oh, you guys finished quicker than I thought." That was just flat-out unprofessional. Also, they charged us 20% VAT and we weren't a party of 2. Very disappointing. The chicken biryani was good, but nothing special. Kubideh was good.“
“Honestly, this is some of the best Persian food I've had in an upscale restaurant. I've had a ton in LA and Dubai.Each dish is thoughtful and incredibly well seasoned. They are true to traditional preparations, with an elegant flare in presentation.The one big minus was the service. The gentleman was kind and knowledgeable, but they forgot an appetizer, and food came out rather slowly. It wasn't too busy either. This rating could easily been a 5 star, with better service.“
“It was just okay to me. My kids loved it. They liked the chickpeas and bread. I thought the portion size was reasonable. The chicken kabob was probably the best. The beef and lamb were a bit dry. There is no luxury here for dining. You are just eating in a small place with enough space for about 20 people max. It was decently clean. I would eat lunch here again. It’s not a date night though.“
“My wife and I went there with a couple of friends. The food was delicious. The service was quick and we were allowed to spend as much time as we needed on a Saturday! I recommend trying the flatbreads and the platter.Vegetarian options: They have salads, vegetarian flatbread, a vegetarian quinoa bowl and a veggie burger.“
“Mazar Kabob truly delivers on the promise of a delightful dining experience with its exceptional offerings. Right from the moment you step into the restaurant, it's evident that they prioritize cleanliness and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant itself is impeccably maintained, creating a comfortable environment for enjoying a meal.The staff at Mazar Kabob deserves a special mention. They are not just friendly; they go above and beyond to ensure patrons feel at home. Their courteous and attentive nature enhances the overall dining experience, making you feel genuinely valued as a customer.However, the standout feature of Mazar Kabob has to be the food. The term "high quality" scarcely does justice to the culinary excellence on display. Each dish showcases the rich flavors and exquisite textures that are hallmarks of authentic Afghani cuisine. The ingredients are fresh, the spices perfectly balanced, and the cooking demonstrates a masterful execution of traditional techniques.Whether you're a connoisseur of this cuisine or exploring it for the first time, Mazar Kabob offers a memorable feast that sets a high standard for what dining should be. This establishment is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience that leaves a lasting impression, compelling you to return for more.“
“Love this place - it’s one of my favorites in the DMV area! I tried this place for the first time about 4 years ago, loved it, and have been coming here since. Even though I don’t live in the area any more - I make to stop by every time I’m in town.Delicious food - I appreciate that there are many vegetarian sides to choose from. The service is friendly and kind every time. Definitely recommend!“
“I am a restaurant owner and I know the difficulty of keeping food ready and at the same time preserving its taste.I came today, 04/01/2024, in the afternoon of Ramadan. We were traveling, so I expected that there would be no ready-made food or bacon bits, but I was surprised by the very delicious taste and the upscale treatment ?❤️ Your brother, Mutab, is from Saudi Arabia.“
“My wife stumbled upon this restaurant on our way home from Florida. It was conveniently located a short walk from our hotel. First off the staff went above and beyond to explain every dish to us as we've never experienced middle eastern food. Every dish we experienced was full of flavor and unique to our palate. It was so enjoyable that we could hardly stop eating. The owner made it a point to bring over a soup we hadn't tried as he was quite proud of. We were not disappointed with it's taste. This was a buffet offered during Ramadan and we had the opportunity to engage with Muslims during the meal. Everything about this restaurant was wonderful and we plan to surely visit again when we come through the area.“
“The shawarma sandwiches are outstanding. They come with gratuitous amounts of fresh parsley and a little pile of pickled turnips. You can make both the chicken and the beef into cheesesteaks, with feta and mozzarella, which was delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy, the hummus was rich, and the entire place smelled amazing. There is zero ambiance in this little shop tucked away in a warehouse park, but the food is stellar.“
“Very flavorful food! I order from them at least once or twice a month. Their restaurants are much cleaner than some other Kabob places. Only negative thing about Moby Dick House of Kabob is they don't have chickpeas and spinach like most kabob restaurants do, which is strange because they are all famous side dishes. For that reason, I frequent other kabob restaurants because my kids like those aforementioned side dishes.“
“I got the Quabili Palau and the Chicken Kabob with the lentils as a side. Everything was great and well worth the price. The Palau was a bit oily but other than that a great dish. The chicken kabob was moist and flavorful which is not usually the case with chicken kabobs at most places. The owner also is very friendly.“
“My second time here. I live 1.5 hours away but try to eat here when I visit my brother in Reston. Excellent food, generous servings. The bread is so good, fresh with a good chew. Four of us shared 3 platters: chicken, gyro and salmon and still had enough to take home for one more person. Perfectly cooked and flavorful with a side salad, chickpeas ( great for dipping bread into the sauce) brown and white rice. The place is clean, service is friendly.“
“The food at JD Bar & Restaurant is truly delightful, with a wide variety of options to suit different tastes and preferences. While the service was not terrible, there is room for improvement in managing the time to serve all customers efficiently. It would be beneficial for the establishment to ensure that customers do not need to call out to get service and to proactively check on all customers to guarantee a top-notch dining experience.“
“Not a huge fan of buffets. You always leave feeling... unsatisfied. Like you ate, but was it food? Then I was dragged to Shishkabon Express. Someone here loves to cook, and is great at it. The kabobs are delicious, the biryani was fluffy (I don't even know how), and the Firni pudding and flan were simply amazing. Every bite was just right. I'm not down here often, but when I am, this will become a regular spot!“
“I’ve tried almost all of their menu items and they are all delicious. Quality and freshness of their ingredients are noticeable and hands down best burger and fries in the area. As a Persian myself, Maman Joon is delivering true persian flavors. Love their new breakfast menu and you have to try the Egg Benedict it’s soo good(Lovin it ????).“
“Decent kabobs for anyone not looking for authentic flavors. The chicken breast is unusually moist and very tasty. I also like their hummus and bread. It's a great family meal that will last a few days. All of the options are delicious.“
“Darya Kabob is a gem! The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Every visit feels like dining with family. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic flavors and warm hospitality. Probably one of the best Kabob restaurants in DMV.“
“The food and service at this place is always awesome. Especially the gentleman who runs the front of the house. His name is Marvin, and he's the nicest guy you could ever meet. If you want good food, pretty quickly, and like people in general, this is a great place to get it. I've become a regular customer and I love this place.“
“Good tender meat, Tasty sauces that come with the platter, and fresh bread with each plate. I ordered the lamb kabob and it was cooked well and paired nicely with the bread and rice. The chick peas were a little different than I expected but not bad! A little oily but well seasoned. Would definitely try their other meats!“
“My family ate here today and the food and service were wonderful. We had several of the grilled entree combos, keema naan, and a paratha roll. The tortilla the roll was on was a perfect consistency and buttery taste. While my kids did not care for the keema naan, I absolutely loved it. Food quality and quantity of the grilled meals was excellent.“
“Consistently good, I did quite a bit of DoorDashing When we were locked down and continue to order from Café Rice and kebab even afterward. My go to is the chicken kebab and I'm hooked on the chickpeas. I wish there was an option to get a bigger salad because I love the salad with my meal. The Gyro was also very good as well as the rice pudding.“
“Love this place. Been coming here a long time. Ali is a good dude. Takes care of my family and deals with my dad wanting every side they have. Great customer service and incredible food. We live in Dale City now but will always frequent this place!“

“We ordered lamb and Chapli Kababs, it was delicious but the quantity of rice is not enough, low quantity.Plus they need to pay attention to quality of salad and protect it from insects in the kitchen, I saw a flying insect over the salad.Muhammad was very nice and cooperative.“
“We placed an order to pick up, and it was ready at the promised time. The koobideh and joojeh kebob were properly seasoned and prepared. The rice was long grain, aldante, and flavourful. The bread was warm and fresh.Prices are reasonable, and portions are large.“
“Awesome food and great customer service. We stopped at Moby Dick on the way back from IAD airport since it was closest one to eat some kabob and i am really glad we did. I never had tasty chicken koobideh like this before. We tried the beef koobideh and chicken kabob also and they were amazing. Had chance to talk to manager since he came over to check on us and see if we liked the food. I love to go back and get me some chicken koobideh whenever i have to make trip to airport.“
“Time after time it’s the same exact thing! The young crowd taking care of the frontline is just amazing at this location. They provide a service you rarely see at any business. Of course I keep coming back for the Thursday specials or chicken kabob flavor any other day! Keep up the good work! ???“
“Marjan catered my engagement party and it was perfect. The food was delicious while being almost too pretty to eat, given the works of art she creates with her thoughtful garnish design. Nonetheless, it was all gone by the end of the night! ? Highly recommend Marjan for a unique and impressive event experience!“
“Reliable place for kebabs and Middle Eastern food. Always fresh, tasty, and plentiful. I love the grilled chicken, the grilled Roma tomatoes, and the grilled veggies that has a nice mix of ingredients. A great local place with several locations s.“
“The lamb chops were extremely flavorful and the baklava is perfectly crisp and sweet. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Persian/Mediterranean food. Thank you for an enjoyable meal and experience.“
“I was looking for something new and different for dinner and discovered this little gem of a middle eastern / Mediterranean restaurant. There were many choices that made it difficult to decide. They also have large family platters which is convenient when ordering for the entire family. It is obvious this is a very popular place and you need to be slightly patient not only because of other orders in front of you but also because food is prepared fresh. The meats were very tender and full of flavor, taking me back to past trips to the Middle East. Salad was also very fresh along with rice that was cooked to perfection, not hard or mushy. The staff was very friendly and organized as you must be to run a high tempo restaurant. They do take quite a bit of pickup orders as well. I definitely recommend checking this restaurant out in the Sterling Dulles Town Center. It is between Chipotle and the VA ABC.“
“Food was delicious! I got the falafel platter and hummus and it was so good. The hummus was my favorite! It's all run by one man and he made everything fresh for me. We had pleasant conversation while I ate there. He is a very nice man and I will happily go again to try the kabobs!Vegetarian options: The falafel platter comes with a good portion of rice and salad as well as some bread. I ordered it with the hummus and it was a wonderful vegetarian meal!!!“
