Afghan Restaurants near Washington, DC

“Awesome venue, Afghan dishes were great and reminded me of the food in the middle east. Only issue was they were out of lamb which caused us to change up our food choices. Would prefer if that happened the business would advise you before sitting down. Overall great experience!!“

“Amazing food . Very friendly atmosphere.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment and I must say, the manti here is absolutely delightful! The flavors were rich and authentic, and the texture of the dumplings was perfect. The portion size was generous, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend trying the manti here for a truly satisfying culinary experience. Can't wait to come back for more!“

“Delicious food, enthusiastic and friendly staff. The newly renovated restaurant is very nice. The view of the train tracks and station platforms is very beautiful. I will introduce friends and relatives to enjoy the food and space of the restaurant.“

“Great place, nice music and definitely food was amazing.“

“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!“

“I was in Arlington helping my son move for two weeks. We stopped for lunch and have returned 5 additional times. I know that we're not the only clients to really appreciate the food here because I see familiar faces at lunch time. I've had many kabobs in Germany and this place beats them all handily. The food is delicious, the staff is pleasant and efficient, and the prices are fair. Excellent value all the way around.“

“This is such a cute and friendly neighborhood kabob shop! It is really clean. I ate the most delicious Qabili palow since I left Afghanistan. This is my test for any Afghan restaurant. The carrots were fresh-tasting, the raisins soft and sweet, the rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked, and it had lots of tender lamb chunks buried in the rice. Plus generous side of sabzi and lamb curry. I ordered side of man and got a complete loaf!Prices so reasonable. I will be back, and I recommend to everyone in Arlington to try this yummy food.“

“Had this place a few times and it is always SO good. Food is flavorful and well seasoned, the rice is fluffy and seasoned well, and the chickpeas are SO GOOD. We ordered takeout and it was still tasty by the time we got home and dug in. My spouse has gone in person and said the service is good too. I've gotten the chicken and my spouse the steak -- we enjoyed both. We also shared the baklava and I recommend it. It's not overly sweet, but does hit he spot for a dessert. Definitely recommend.“

“Great food and atmosphere! The meat was very flavorful and the rice was delicious! Only downside, no real hot sauce (besides red hot which isn’t a hot sauce) and no garlic paste. Hard to eat Mediterranean food without either. Still a 5 stars experience- service on point, food is great and tea!“

“Delicious, generously portioned, and reasonably priced food in Ballston is a rare treasure. The platters can easily feed two people and are protein-packed no matter which option you choose. The naan and chickpeas are especially wonderful. We'll absolutely be coming back again!!“

“Excellent Afghan Food and Service. The Quorma Seib (Apple Quorma) was delicious and will be ordered again and again. The kabobs were all cooked perfectly, and the Green Tea with Mint and honey was nice to keep it all washed down. Both desserts - The Toasted Almond Cake and Chocolate Firnee were Amazing! If you have not been here, now is the best time to go!Vegetarian options: Make sure you let them know of any Nut allergies.“

“Kabobistan catered for our event and the food and service were immaculate! So many selections were provided, friendly service every time we reached out with questions and adjustments, and such flexibility all around. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and came back for seconds and thirds! We will definitely continue to cater from them for our events and spread the word about this amazing restaurant. We especially appreciate Jawad and Hela, as well as the entire staff! Support this business every change you get!“

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