“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“
“Their shawarmas were absolutely delicious! Both the chicken and beef options were incredible. Usually, I'm not a fan of beef shawarmas, but theirs was exceptionally yummy. Additionally the lamb with rice tray is very well cooked and presented! People can't stop saying nice things about it. It incredibly tasty. I should definitely give it a try too! I highly recommend giving it a try!“
“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.“
“The staff are helpful and place was clean during the iftar , Service was good. Staff were friendly one of them is mohamed is attentive. And orders were brought out to us in a timely manner.a 5/5 Good food and good service . Definitely recommend.“
“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.“
“Delicious kabob and vegetarian dishes! Fast and friendly service. And all at a reasonable cost! Outdoor seating! Amazing family-friendly dinner experience. Everyone in our family was happy - from kids to grandparents. Make sure to order the kadu and the bread.“
“Wonderful, polite, friendly staff who don’t pester you but who will share a smile or a laugh.The food is delicious, I can’t wait to try more dishes (so far the falafel platter, lamb, chicken, coffees, chai tea (wow), and the saffron ice cream is a real treat!The decor is lovely and the seating comfortable.There was plenty of parking.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“

“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!!!“
“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.“
“My husband and I checked out this place for the first time after seeing that they host a 90s r&b brunch on Sundays. The inside aesthetic was a vibe and the DJ was playing a good mix of 90s and early 2000s music. They had a guy selling cigars on the patio and they also offer hookah.Food: The brunch menu is a different menu from their regular menu with a handful of brunch items (not much was Greek food which was a little disappointing) including bottomless mimosas. They offer three brunch pricing options and we opted for the $59 per person 3 course + bottomless mimosas. We received a bread and spreads board, one appetizer each and one entree each for this price plus a mimosa bar where they bring a carafe of champagne to your table and you make your own mimosa (or Bloody Mary) at their drink bar. They had a good choice of syrups, juices and fixins for a Bloody Mary or mimosa. We both ended up ordering the chicken and waffles which was a fried chicken breast on top of two waffles with butter and super diabetically sweet syrup on top of the waffles. I will say the meal was good, however the fried chicken (while fresh and hot) was a bit bland and needed the super sweet syrup or maybe hot sauce to add flavor.Service: service was alright in my opinion. The place was pretty empty and our server was very nice, however it was odd to me seeing our server as well as the other servers smoking hookah and chilling in the booths and tables like they were just hanging out. I do get that there wasn’t many patrons/customers so they didn’t have much to do, but I guess I would just rather not see it while I’m dining. At times our server took quite a bit to come back to check on us or take our other orders and it was mostly due to her talking and hanging out. The DJ and other guy (not sure if he was the promoter or staff) with him was extremely friendly and offered us drinks on him which was. A kind sentiment (we never got those drinks though lol).Overall, I think this place was really nice and I believe that they will improve once they have been doing the Sunday brunch a little longer. I’m pretty sure they just started doing the Sunday brunch and not many people know about it yet. I would come back and try out their dinner since I really wanted to try more Greek food“
“We recently enjoyed dining at Kebab and Chicken, and we were thoroughly impressed! The goat paya and karahi chicken we ordered were absolutely delicious, with rich flavors and tender textures. But what really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly friendly and humble, making us feel welcome and valued. Overall, I highly recommend Kebab and Chicken for a fantastic dining experience!"“
“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! ???“
“This is my first time ordering here the crew is very happy offer me a drink because it was my first time and the food came out very fast 15min and the food was very good I highly recommend, the combo 2 and your hummus with fresh pita bread.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“As a pharmaceutical representative, I catered lunch for a doctors office in Lansdowne for 16 people. The staff is very picky about food and very particular about kabob restaurants. I ordered three different meats, rice, salad, chickpeas and hummus. Everything was super fresh and tasted authentic. The meat was flavorful, moist and delicious. The staff raved about the food and complimented me on choosing such an outstanding restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant for your catering needs and I will order from them again.“
“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.“
