Good afternoon everyone. This is my first time visiting this place, and the service was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. For food, I ordered lamb in broth, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. For the second course, regular rice with added spices. This is my first time trying this kind of dish. The taste is unusual, and it's not for everyone, but thanks to the chef, the rice is delicious!!! Overall, if you're really hungry, stop in for a snack. 😋 Price-quality ratio, I recommend it. 👍

This is the authentic Persian food restaurant i dont want to share because it's so good and I don't want this place to get super crowded. The service is great and the food is great, too. You can get some authentic stuff that's not available at other restaurants.
Also, there is a huge parking space in the back.

Overall, the quality has been going downhill with each visit. The Baghali Polo didn’t taste like a proper restaurant dish, and even the Coke was off. It felt like the chef was rushed and the kitchen was running low on supplies. Honestly, the “fresh deal” they advertise isn’t much better than what you could get at a Subway next door.

Consistently great Persian food. Have to ask for the tadik! Serveres are pleasant and always welcoming. Traditional Persian for sure and after dining there several times, I have experiences various fresh and delicious dishes.

When I ordered the food it took 20+ minutes to arrive and when I did get it the lamb chops were okay but the rice was so dry even with the oil they gave it just tasted unappetizing please improve 🙏

I’ve ordered from Al Norzé many times now, mostly for takeout, and they’ve become one of my favorite spots in the Tysons area for Afghan and Mediterranean cuisine. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared.
My usual go-to is the chicken sultani — it’s always juicy, perfectly seasoned, and grilled just right. It comes with rice, naan, and salad, and the portions are very generous. You definitely won’t leave hungry. I’ve also had their kabobs (both chicken and beef), which are excellent — tender meat with that perfect smoky char. Their hummus is smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of garlic, and pairs perfectly with their warm Afghan naan.
What stands out to me, besides the food, is the service. Whether I’m ordering in person or calling ahead for pickup, the staff is polite, efficient, and quick to get the order ready. Even when the place is busy, they stay organized and keep things moving smoothly.
The ambiance inside is fine — it’s clean, spacious, and has a casual feel. It's not a fancy sit-down restaurant, but it’s comfortable enough if you want to dine in.
Overall, Al Norzé is a reliable, affordable, and high-quality option if you’re craving Afghan or Middle Eastern food in the Tysons or Vienna area. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you appreciate grilled meats, flavorful rice, and hearty, home-style cooking.
