“what were some of the highlights at big red halal you ask?? THE CHICKEN.. and the red sauce🤤“

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

“I've been a loyal customer of Flame Kabob in Springfield, VA for many years, and they never disappoint! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. If you're looking for a consistently delicious meal, this is the place to go!“

“Seekh Kababs platter was just amazingly delicious. Comes with 2 Seekh Kababs 1 naan and tons of Kabuli Pulao and chick peas. I had with lamb and wife had the same thing with chicken and all the servings are very generous. We will definitely be going very frequently whenever we are in town. Service was excellent.“

“We had never tried Afghani food before, and I am so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They recommended the Mini Taste of Arocostia for our first time. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The food was cooked perfectly. The service was great! We never had to ask to have our beverages filled up, because they were already on top of it before we had to ask. They packed all our leftovers into boxes for us for our way home. We will definitely be going back!“

“Loved eating here. The restaurant smelled faintly of incense, which was a welcome ambiance. Tables are layed out well so it doesn't feel cramped. The space is nice and bright with beautiful decor. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Service was fast and the food was absolutely delicious! Loved every single thing I ordered:

Sheer chai — this tea had a nice balance of milk and sugar

Mantoo classic — these beef dumplings were full of flavor and served at the right temperature, hot but not too much to burn your mouth

Lamb shank — the sauce was packed with flavor and the meat fell off the bones. It came with rice that was a lovely buttery complement to the lamb

Sheer berenj — had this for dessert and it was very refreshing. It's not milky and the pistachios on top added a nice nutty flavor to the rice pudding

Green tea with cardamom — nice way to end dinner“

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

“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.“

“Authentic Afghan Cuisine & Outstanding Service!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Afghan Restaurant Authentic Cuisine & Sheeryakh, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, providing excellent customer service with a genuine smile.

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with rich, authentic Afghan flavors. The kabobs were perfectly grilled, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the mantu were just incredible. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of love into their cooking.

If you’re looking for a place that serves mouthwatering Afghan food with top-notch service in Alexandria, VA, I highly recommend Afghan Restaurant Authentic Cuisine & Sheeryakh. Can’t wait to visit again!“

“Best Kabob House in the town.“

“This place is beyond writing s good review. I used to be in college 22 years ago and it was the spot for everyone bc they have really good food and always generous. Recently, I took my son there after many years bc I moved away and now back in the area. My son loved it so much, this is our second visit in less than a week. The place is just as good as it used to be and they reason behind all the success in my own opinion is bc it managed by an excellent owner and his family. Really the food and the service is beyond your imagination.
As I was leaving, I spotted Moby dick across the street and I am confident to say, if you eat here, you would not eat Moby dick even if it was for free. Good job in keeping up the hard work and may God bless the owner and his family. We will see you guys again soon. All the love and respect to everyone that works there ??????“

“LOVE this place and probably won't ever be satisfied with a gyro anywhere else. They give you plenty of meat, and not only is it always fresh, the pita is always delicious and soft. Top that off with the enormous portion you get! It's easily enough to split with two people. I always take home my gryo and finish the second half as another meal. Service can't be beat. The place is owned and run by natives to the cuisine - which means delicious, authentic food each time. I took my brother for a visit, and he was raving about it for days afterward. A little out-of-the-way for me, but totally worth the drive!“

“wonderful gem of a spot! delicious cocktails and food. extremely knowledgeable staff“

“We were a larger party of 10 and had made reservations. Our table was ready for us when we arrived and the owner (I think) welcomed us.
Several people had been here before. There are options for everyone. I had the vegetarian sampler, which was delicious and flavorful. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The restaurant has great ambience with Afghan artwork and crafts adorning the walls.
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.“

“Courthouse Kabob is an absolute gem! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their kabobs are perfectly seasoned, the portions are generous, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, the experience is always top-notch. A must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic and delicious Afghan cuisine!
Arman!“

“Trust me the taste is amazing it’s unbelievable i feel like im in kabul and eating this. Thank you so much from Afghanistan shawarma and burger for such a quality food.“

“Outstanding

I recently dined at Kabul Kabob Express, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was nothing short of spectacular, bursting with authentic flavors and perfectly
cooked. Each dish was a delightful journey into Afghan cuisine, with the kebabs being particularly outstanding – tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection.

The service was equally impressive, with the staff being both attentive and knowledgeable, making us feel warmly welcomed. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience.

Kabul Kabob Express is a true gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable meal. I can’t wait to return and try more from their incredible menu!“

“We were visiting DC and wanted a quick bite late in the night. The food is absolutely delicious. The chicken kebabs melts in your mouth. The pita bread is fresh and hummus is delicious. The food was great that we decided to take out next day as well. Highly recommend the place.“

“Very excellent customer service and food was amazing.“

“Yummy chicken and pita bowl! The store was hygienic.“

“The best Kabob I have ever had, whenever I want a kabob I travel from Silver Spring MD to be able to have it, where I live there is no kabob like this with that incredible flavor that makes it unique. We are a family of Latinos who love this food. In every bite you feel the love with which the food was prepared.“

“everything inc. shisha :)“

“I'm usually eating at lunch which is sparsely attended, and thus staffed, but everyone is quite nice. My most recent lunch, Mantu, "ground beef and onion-filled dumpling, topped with fresh homemade yogurt, meat sauce and dried mint" was the best thing I ate that week. I imagine that one weekend the large dining room is crowded with families.“

“I loved our experience at the restaurant. The food is very authentic.
Mr. Aman Allah is very friendly, welcoming and polite. I loved the Mantu reminded me of home. We ordered the family platter to go, it was worth it. I drove from NC to this restaurant.
Very great restaurant. The food is also very tasty. Thank you brother Amanullah..“

“One of the best restaurants in the country, excellent food, terrific service and beautiful environment.“

“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.“

“Awesome customer service and food“
