“My first time trying Afghan food and it did not disappoint. My favorite item of the night were the pumpkin dumplings. We had lamb with cilantro and lamb with okra. Everything on the menu you could tell was made fresh and will great ingredients. The lamb was tender and flavorful. We also finished dinner with cardamom ice cream which was absolutely delicious. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful, definitely on the nicer side as far as dress goes. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Per their website all menu items are halalParking: Located beneath the restaurant“
“When it comes to takeout, this kobab joint sets the bar high. The ordering process is seamless, and the packaging ensures that your meal arrives hot and fresh. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on the go or enjoying a cozy night in, their takeout service makes enjoying their delectable kobabs a breeze. With every order, you're treated to the same quality and flavor that you'd expect from dining in. It's the perfect solution for satisfying your cravings without sacrificing taste or convenience.“
“The food here is wonderful. Their chapli kabob were my favorite. So flavorful. Their Chana masala were also really good.Was not a fan of their spinach curry at all. And I really wish they had real cups for water. They only had small Styrofoam cups and you have to fill up the water yourself from the corner. Very annoying and takes away from the dinner experience. Such an easy thing to fix as well, will have a lot of impact in the customer comfort.“
“Delicious meal! Highly recommended. 10/10 service and experience. Would happily return to try more items off the menu. Miriam was our hostess and server. She explained the menu with great detail and was a sheer delight to interact with. I had the chicken bowl with my sides being the chickpeas, eggplant, spinach, and naan. It's fun to mix and match all these delightful tastes and flavors. I washed the meal down with their luscious yogurt drink and had leftovers to cover dinner! Thanks so much for a great meal. See you next time!“
“The food was TERRIBLE!!! We ordered to go and they were still cooking it when we got there and only live a few minutes away. We got home and opened the fries, they were extremely soggy, they didn’t cook them long enough and didn’t vent the box.The gyro was disgusting ? had no flavor/seasoning, the sauce wasn’t flavored, and the pita was absolutely gross.I will NEVER eat there again. Even the baklava didn’t really have flavor.“
“Went here with 4 people and everyone loved their food. We started with the appetizer assortment, which was delicious. Then we all got lamb, but in different dishes. Lamb is definitely their menu focus. The flavor combos were different and interesting and they all worked well. Nice wine list by the bottle or glass. We'll definitely go back“
“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.“
“Little gem of a carry out - with upgraded tables, I see - the owner and his family are very nice and accommodating - the gyros: always on a freshly made naan and the fries - oh the fries! - are delicious. The spinach and chick peas are also a delight.Parking: Parking lot can get crowded, so go park on the side street“
“Just as excellent as we remember from 7+ years ago when we visited their Vienna location.Dietary restrictions: We didn't ask, but the dishes we had were not dairy free. I'm sensitive to dairy, but suffer the consequences every once and a while. I didn't ask for dairy free, so I cannot comment on their willingness to accommodate.Parking: It's a small lot. We went at 6 pm on a Saturday in the winter. I'll bet parking is tougher when the other venues (bar/brewery) have summer/outside crowds.Kid-friendliness: The whole restaurant has a family friendly vibe. Yes there is a bar that is visible, but we were in there the same time that there was a table of 12-ish people who came in with 3-5 kids and it seemed like the kids had no problem figuring out what to eat.Wheelchair accessibility: The establishment was at the parking lot level. There was no curb to hop or bollards to navigate. I cannot 100% comment on accessibility, but there is a sidewalk that existed on the whole path from the right side of the parking spots to all venues on the block.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Hub Cafe stands out for its delicious food and exceptional hookah offerings. The menu boasts delectable dishes that tantalize the taste buds while their variety of hookah flavors add an extra dimension to the experience. However, what truly sets Hub Cafe apart is the warmth and friendliness exuded by the owner and the attentive staff. Their welcoming demeanor creates an inviting atmosphere that makes every visit a pleasure. If you're looking for a place with both fantastic flavors and a genuinely friendly vibe, Hub Cafe is a must-visit ✨“
“amazing store with a lovely staff!! i go there all the time and get the #1 combo (steak and chicken kabob) food is always delicious, i recommend the white sauce with your meal, it'll really make you wanna come back for more the next day. i tell everyone how great of a restaurant this is, and they all agree. try it out for sure!“
“Absolutely love Shinwari Namak Mandi! This restaurant truly captures the essence of Pakistani cuisine. The Kabuli pulao is incredibly flavorful, and the chicken and mutton karahi are simply divine. The authenticity of the dishes is unmatched, making it a go-to spot in Virginia for anyone craving genuine Pakistani flavors. The service is excellent, and the ambiance adds to the overall dining experience. Highly recommend trying their delicious offerings!“
“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!“
“Solid Kabob place. I love that they give you 2 types of basmati with a kabob platter, and the naan is delicious. The chicken and salmon are my favorites. I always order takeout and have never had any problems with my orders. Thank you Reston Kabob!“
“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.“
“Best bang for your buck lunch in the area. Lunch special comes with kabob of your choice on rice with a side salad and side of your choice, sauce and soda for a little less than $11. Afghan style food. Super quick too. Beef kabudeh lunch special in the picture but I subbed my rice for extra salad ?“
“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.“
“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.“
“Ever since they opened this has been our favorite place for kabobs in the Annandale area. The nan is delicious, the chickpeas are our favorite side, and the meat is always cooked fresh and delicious. You can't go wrong and the staff is friendly as well.“
“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.“
