Definitely gonna have to come back and try literally everything.. the portion size of the plates coming out the kitchen on top of the amazing smells like fresh baked naan, I already told the owner to expect me weekly!! The owner, Sharif (hope I’m spelling that right) was super kind, enthusiastic and excited to share his hard work with everyone after a year long wait. I’m excited to see what else is in store for this authentic, delicious spot!“

“Delicious food! We got two different wraps with the mixed meat. Full of flavor. And OMG the fries were perfect! We both tried the strawberry basil cocktail. Great balance of sweetness and very refreshing. The service was great and we enjoyed talking to the employees. Great atmosphere. We sat on the patio. And the decor is fun with the records and Virginia artists and famous people all around.“

“Very nice place to eat. Quick service. Delicious .“

“recently i attended a wedding that was catered by Anatolian bistro. the food was wonderful! very traditional Turkish options. highly recommend for dining or catering. thank you - dj Theo“

“Love Corsica so much! Joe is the perfect bartender great mix of pleasant personality, sense of humor and comfortability behind the bar. Very easy vibe and amazing drinks and food. Nicolas is the sweetest server with such positive energy. One of the best additions to RTC in a long time. Bolognese, lemon bucatini, mushrooms, meatballs and arancini are favorites. The frozen Citron Sunrise does the trick on a hot summer day.“

“I ordered the chicken kebab with all rice to go, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with great flavor in every bite. The rice was also excellent and complemented the chicken very well. Even as a takeout order, everything tasted fresh and well prepared. I would definitely order it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal.“

“We were very hungry and wanted a quick bite. We searched and found Kabob. We are so glad we found this place. The food is reasonably priced and the food is delicious. We recommend Kabob to anyone who is found of great food. Kabob - keep up the great taste and great service.“

“Tasty chicken kabob salad...planning to lose weight not taste of food....“

“My wife and I use this as our go-to place when we need quality food that is not junk and is a great value. The orzo is my personal favorite but honestly there hasn't been one dish I've tried that has been disappointing. I am genuinely confused by the people who give this place one or two stars. My wife loves the pork chops. They held up really well even after being delivered. I had the gyro and it was amazing. This place is consistent and if you're looking for a hidden gem in a sea of awful takeout, this is it.“

“Me encanta cava!! Lidia es muy servicial y amable“

“From out of town and came to Ocean8 Hookah Lounge and had an awesome experience! Ended up going multiple times! The hookah was top-tier and the food was fresh. If you're in VA and looking for a great vibe with quality food and smoke, this is the spot!“

“The best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten in my life!! The portions are so big and everything is homemade!“

“Tasty Halal cuisine available at Leesburg Premium Outlets. Our order included samosa chat and Philly cheesesteaks. The samosa chat featured a well-balanced mix of spices, offering just the right amount of flavor without being overwhelming. It was perfectly textured, neither too soggy nor too dry. The Philly cheesesteak sandwiches were also delicious, boasting a cheesy goodness. You can find this eatery situated across from Old Navy, adjacent to Aeropostale. Highly recommended; I'll certainly be returning.“

“Dinner at Thelo is an experience of terrific food and a warm welcome from the owner and host Yannis. We got the spreads sampler and shared among four of us and it was delicious. The whipped beats were our favorite, so good we made an extra order to go and will have it over the weekend.

After the appetizer we were all happy with our orders. The lamb shank was the very best, and the salmon, moussaka, and lamb gyro also very nice. A terrific baclava topped off the experience. Strongly recommend you go, enjoy the experience, don’t rush yourself and have a nice time.“

“I had a great experience coming here, Vivian was super helpful and patient with me as I was picking my topping. Would go again!!“

“Wait—huh? How does this place have such low review #s? This is the greatest thing I’ve had at this price point in a long time. Shoot—right across the street I went to another place and paid $20 for a bowl that was 80% rice noodles. I paid $17 here for a double chicken bowl that was chock full of healthy vegetables and extra protein like chickpeas and lentils. The portion size was absolutely phenomenal and someone who is a light eater could easily make 2 meals out of this. The pickled vegetables really made the taste pop. I stayed away from the tabouleh and couscous bc I’m GF. I just thought it was great for a healthy, quick service option but I’m visiting from out of town (Colorado) with much more limited options. I guess people have a lot more variety here but I’m giving it my honest 5 stars!“

“great service, amazing food!“

“Delicious food and ample drink selection!! Awesome local spot! Look forward to many return trips!“

“First time trying Mezeh and I’m so glad I did! The manager, Carlos, recommended I get the bowl with both Chicken Shawarma and Steak Shawarma, and wow it was amazing! The meat was super flavorful and tender, and all the toppings were so fresh. The pita underneath was warm and soft, and everything just came together perfectly.

You can tell they really care about the food and the customers here. Big shoutout to Carlos for the great recommendation and friendly service! Definitely coming back soon.“

“Joana (I’m not really sure that was her name, but I hope so lol) was super nice! She was friendly, helpful, and made me feel very welcome. I really appreciated her service.

The food was also super good, me and my mom will definitely come back!“

“This is by far our favorite kabob place! The meat is always cooked to perfection, the hummus is my absolute favorite it’s smooth and delicious. They also have a an outstanding catering service, always on time and the food is loved at every event I have! They have the best customer service and really go above and beyond for their customers!“

“I had a problem with my order the day before, but the manager at Moby Dick handled the situation very professionally and respectfully. They sincerely apologized, refunded my money, and even gave me the meal as a kind gesture.

I really appreciated the way they treated me and how seriously they cared about customer satisfaction. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but professional and respectful customer service like this is what makes a place stand out.

Thank you again to the team at Moby Dick — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“If you are new to Afghan cuisine or familiar with Americanized versions, you will be in for a treat. This is an authentic Afghan restaurant. The kofta, spiced meat, and kadoo, roasted pumpkin, are exceptional. I always stop here whenever I'm dropping someone off or picking them up at IAD, and I recommend you do the same.“

“ordered the steak kabob rice salad 5 stars simply fantastic“

“First visit to this chain. Was not disappointed. Went for an early lunch shortly after opening. Food was very fresh. I got the combo 2, which was beef and chicken, with a mix of salad and rice. Great size portion to price ratio. Meal came with some sort of naan/flatbread, some cucumber sauce and some salad dressing. My lovely girlfriend ordered a big old falafel salad, that I'm told was good. No drama.
Staff was nice, food was ready in a reasonable amount of time, nice selection of teas, juices, fountain drinks. Did not really consider apps or dessert type stuff. Restroom was clean. I'd definitely dine here again.“

“Best delicious juicy bbq in the area with the right spices! Rice is cooked to perfect taste, the piece of butter they always add on top can easily be scooped out according to preference! The assorted salads are a great addition and very tasty. The humus is better than that made in Lebanese restaurant. I recommend everyone in the area to try it 👍🏼“

“Chicken shawarma was exactly what I was craving for today, and it did not disappoint. The tzatziki dip and mint black tea were also delicious. An excellent choice for a cold day like today.“

“I was in heaven eating the yummy food! I love the ground beef & rice!“
