Kebab near Reston, VA

“I stopped by Taste of Istanbul this afternoon for the first time. For the most part it was really good. I ordered a potato pide, 2 doner kebab, mixed meze, and pistachio baklava. Everything was delicious except for the”baklava”, which turned out to be two greasy dough cylinders. No phyllo, no honey, no pistachio filling. I was disappointed that I wasted $7.00 for inedible dough I ended up throwing in the garbage. Get the kebabs, stay away from their version of baklava.“

“Reston Kabob is hands down the best spot in the area for authentic Afghan food! The kabobs are perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, and the portions are generous. The rice is flavorful, and the fresh naan completes the meal. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is fast, even during busy hours. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, the quality is always consistent. Highly recommend the chicken kabob and the lamb combo – you won’t be disappointed! A true gem in Reston!“

“So delicious! I am on the road most of the time as a real estate agent and always try to find new spots to eat at. The food is so flavorful, the staff is awesome, and I will be back next time I am selling homes in the area!“

“Awesome! the only thing i dont like about was the old lady offer me more rice (i didnt ask for it) instead of the naan and she didn’t tell me about it. Then i asked the guy who works there that if naan is sold out then he told me because the old lady gave me more rice but he was so nice to make me a fresh naan :) 🫓“

“I’ve been to a couple of Afghan Kabob restaurants but this one was truly really great and tasty. The food was delicious and the customer service was the best. I highly recommend trying out Fairfax Kabob!“

“My wife's birthday. She wanted lamb curry, I wanted goat.
They both tasted great and were really soft. The goat curry had bones as a FYI, but that is to be expected for those who haven't had it.
The curry came with rice and chickpeas, both great.
The naan looked to be made fresh and both were larger than the paper plates they came out on.
Also ordered masa fries, which were crispy and great, and a samosa which came with 2.
Will go again.“

“Delicious food and super thoughtful staff
I ordered a mint and Turkish coffee to start with the intention of ordering lamb. When the sheep came, I was surprised in an interesting way by the presentation of the dish. The sheep is butter, soft, and cooked in the literal sense and looks exactly the same as it did in the menu, bones and all.“

“Fantastic food, beautifully designed atmosphere and great service. Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time and we dine out often. You can’t go wrong with Chef Morgan! Omar our server was the best and took the time to make sure we ordered the right things.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Grill Kabob! The food is consistently top-notch, with the chicken and lamb combo being my favorite. The flavors are rich, and the ingredients are clearly of high quality. My only critique is that the cashier didn't seem particularly happy.“

“Delicious kabobs and wonderful staff! Highly recommend!“

“Best Kabob in the town, love it.“

“Hidden gem: Afghan Carrayee! It reminds me of karahi. I got the lamb. It was grilled separately, cut, and added to fried tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices with plenty of fragrant oil. Served with a huge piece of tandoori bread to soak up all the flavorful sauce. It also comes with a cool yogurt sauce and spicy green sauce. I've also had the Quabili Palau: Skillfully-seasoned lamb under a heap of spiced brown rice, topped with carrot strips, raisins and meat sauce. The portion sizes are massive. I don't know how they got all that food in the box. I ate it for days. My son liked the chicken kabob, also came with a healthy portion of two different kinds of rice. The chickpeas and eggplant are also very good! The staff/owners are very friendly. The meat is cooked when ordered, so if you are in a hurry order ahead. If you order there and wait they might just give you a free bowl of lentil soup to eat while you wait! If you are on the go try the wraps served with fries or choose a side. They also have wraps without a side as a special for $7.50. It's not on the website or menu, but a good deal.“

“Delicious food, tasty bread.“

“Great potential for the falafel platter, with some missteps that keep it from being five stars.First, the good:- sauces were excellent (toum, shut)- dips were great (hummus, labneh, and a chickpea stew)- bread (shrak) was great- fries were great (served with cilantro)- onion/parsley garnish was very good but needed to be more of it- falafel was good- salata was pretty goodHere’s what can be improved:- the Persian style grilled tomato and grilled onion make no sense as a side for a falafel platter… it should either be served with tabbouleh or chopped raw tomatoes and onion, either of which add freshness and cut through the heavy sauces- speaking of tabbouleh, it was supposed to come with some but didn’t- the fries, falafel and chickpea stew were a little too salty- personal preference: I don’t like pickled beets in general very much, I didn’t like these pickled beets in particular very much, and I strongly feel that pickled cucumbers are superior on a falafelThe good parts about the platter were great. But, the actual falafel wrap was a little off, because it lacked fresh veggies. The sauce, the bread will keep me coming back, but I hope the owners take note of this feedback

Vegetarian options: Falafel platter seems to be vegetarian friendly“
