Afghan Restaurants near Mclean, VA

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

“Very good food! Had the Kobeeda platter, and it was cooked perfectly with plenty of sides (chickpeas, rice, bread, and salad). Very flavorful. The service was great too. Staff was friendly and checked to make sure the food was to my liking. Will definitely come back.“

“Amazing food . Very friendly atmosphere.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 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.“

“We have been going to this restaurant for several years now. They have the best kabob nearby and such lovely staff. If you end up waiting, they do their best to make sure they give you an accurate estimate of how long the wait would be, complimentary soup and sometimes tea, and keep everyone entertained.It is what you would expect for a small corner shop in Annandale. But the food is beyond expectations and there are lots of options. I appreciate how flexible they are with editing orders.Parking: Busy center but worth the wait to get parking and eat there“

“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!“

“I've tried this place dine-in and takeout. I was pleased in both experiences. The portions are very good and everything had flavorful. I tried their gyro platter, loaded fries, fried chicken sandwich, and chapali kabob burger. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite, or work lunch.“
