Place is delicious and the service is excellent. The chicken kofta kabob and the spicy chapli kabob are outstanding (personally I'd go elsewhere for a gyro). The flavors of the food are incredible and the price point is friendly too! Enjoy! read more

Excellent Afghani food at good prices. I really love the grilled chicken and lamb, and the spinach side. I've never eaten in, only gotten takeout, but the place looks like a nice, clean counter service type place inside. It's a regular dinner spot for my family when we don't feel like cooking for ourselves. read more

Chicken Kabob Sandwich was amazing! I loved the Tzatziki sauce was delicious! The rice was yummy too!

Arlington Kabob - I got my food delivered this time! Still looks good - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Really good food. I called in advance and they had it ready and packed up well for take out. I ordered for three but it easily served five. I honestly wasn't expecting much, as this was my first time and I chose it because it was convenient to my destination that day. I was pleasantly surprised. All of the meats were well prepared and tender. The seasonings were great. I highly recommend Arlington Kabob! read more

Hands down the best kabob place that I have ordered from in Arlington. Until I find something better (if I ever bother to look), this will be my go to place. read more

Great food no matter the hour. Highly recommend. Lamb is excellent. We also enjoyed the shawarma.

I'm so glad that I find this place! I have been here 3 times. I love this place and their everything. People are very nice especially the waitress lady. She was explaining everything that what is inside. Very clean and good hot tea. Thank you for the best kabob! read more

I've eaten here several times and I LOVE the Salmon kabobs.. I don't know how or what they use to season it with, but man it's delicious. The salad is fresh, not brown, and my chickpeas are not overcooked or old like some places.. The staff is is always friendly and they carry my favorite juice Black Cherry Lemonade - Calypso.. Geahh!!! Nuff Said... read more

As far as I'm concerned, the chaplee kabob here is pound for pound top ten best things to eat in Arlington. What's really nice about this place is that the food is not only homemade, but presented in a clean and made to order manner. In other words, the food doesn't look like it was sitting in an exposed buffet tray sitting under a heat lamp and served with a shovel. I really like this place. The dining space and open kitchen are clean on an unprecedented level, the place is comfortable, and its run by an adorable little Afghan family. Come give these nice people your money, they won't disappoint. read more

Yet again on time, fresh, and perfect - thank you AK team! My wife asked if I ordered for three and I was happy to say it was only the kabob platter + fries. This is an Arlington treasure. read more

My first time here and I was looked directly into my eyes when I orders my food. She asked if this was my first time here. "Yes.." I responded. She was inquisitive of how far I was traveling to come or if I lived closed by. Usually I only get this from a sit down place because they have more time. She didn't take up a lot of time but was really interested in me as the customer. The food was excellent. It is Halal, which means to me there is no pork in the food... HORRAY!!!! You can tell the put a lot of L.O.V.E in the family food. The hot tea was excellent. I even overheard them asking a customer if they needed help carrying the food to their car. Yeah, he hands were full, but not that full!... Nice gesture on their part. Can't wait to try the baklava! read more

Have been eating lunch there often and always loved it, but this weekend we decided to cater a dinner party for 8 with food from Arlington Kabob. Ordered a day ahead, two "meals for four"--kabobs (ground chicken, ground beef, lamb); quabili rice; eggplant, chickpeas and spinach for sides; naan and salad. The food arrived precisely on time. Everything that was supposed to be warm was still warm (even hot). Delivery guy helped unpack things and set up. We dine out with these guests often, and they know food. Approval of the food from AK was unanimous and enthusiastic. I will definitely do this again. One thing I would change is to order more lamb, as that went fast from the buffet we had set up. Also, although my wife made a great coconut pie for dessert, I might want to order some of Susan's excellent baklava to save ourselves some labor. it was a terrific evening, and we fed 8 people for about $100. Even had some leftovers (microwaved kabob and rice makes a great breakfast). read more

Got there at 10:15 and they said they will closed but people still eating there what kind of restaurant says that they're open until 11 but stop serving food before 10 read more

This place is a hidden gem! My boyfriend and I stumbled across it while driving down Lee Highway. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but we decided to give it a shot. We walked in and we were able to find a table right away. We sat down and decided what to order and then went up to the counter to place our order. The service here is unexpectedly good for a fast casual restaurant! Everyone was really friendly and they brought our food to our table and checked in on us often. I ordered the combo of chicken and kubedah kabobs. Both meats were so good! Very juicy and great seasoning. The meal was served with two types of rice, naan and one side. I opted for chickpeas and my boyfriend got the spinach. Both sides were great as well. The restaurant is clean and well kept. Great place to go for a quick casual dinner. read more

Arlington Kabob is awesome! A small "mom and pop" shop with delicious food, affordable pricing, and HUGE portions. I get the gyro here on a weekly basis. The pita is made fresh to order every time, and is packed to the brim with juicy tender lamb. The gyro is delicious! One of the best I've had in the area. The staff and service is also top notch, and extremely friendly. One time I had to wait longer than normal for my carry-out order, not because the staff was slow, but simply because the place was packed. The main lady who runs the cashier felt so bad about my extra 5 minute wait that she insisted I have a free Boylan Bottling root beer, which was obviously, delicious, and a sweet example of how friendly this place is. Highly recommend. read more

OMG! Unlike many kabob places, when you walk in here you immediately know how clean it is. I was warmly greeted by the owner who patiently introduced me to her menu. The enticing aromas quickly convinced me to order the chicken AND lamb. Despite placing my order to go, I couldn't help but sit and eat my order right away after taking a taste. The flavorful kabobs were perfect! I'm so grateful for the recommendation and will be passing it along. This is EXACTLY what a local restaurant should be! read more

Arlington Kabob - Chicken & Lamb Skewers - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My friend and I were looking for a place to grab dinner on New Year's day. Most places were closed but I came across Arlington Kabob. it had great reviews and I called to confirm that it was open and allowed dine-in. When my friend and I showed up, it's like we already knew the folks that work there. They invited us in, helped with menu selection. The food was excellent (I got the lamb and chicken kabobs with a side of chickpeas) and very reasonably priced. After eating, we sat outside chatting for hours, folks working there the made us feel welcome the whole time -- normally places want you to eat fast and leave. Even after the place closed, the folks there said we could Keep hanging out at the outside table which was did for almost another hour. Very cool hole-in-the-wall place, highly recommend, will be back. read more

Very good food good sauces the naan is good the fries are very bland wouldn't recommend but overall the food is great

I wish I had more stars to give this fabulous place. Absolutely fantastic food! Supremely flavorful. You taste freshness in every bite. There are delicate seasonings in each dish. We went as a family, and everyone tasted something from someone else. It was all so delicious! This is amazing quality food for very reasonable prices. There are only a handful of restaurants in Arlington that have this level of quality at such affordable prices. We will definitely be back! read more

So delish! I love that you can order just skewers of meat without sides if you want. The chicken kabobs we very good.. They have the best sauces.. A dill infused white sauce and a green spicy one. So great. We will be back for sure. read more

Food is excellent. I live in Courthouse and pass other Kebab places on my way here, but Arlington Kebab is just so much better. There gyros are fantastic with some of the highest grade gyro meat i have ever tasted and the fresh baked naan wrap is filled with whole cubes of real feta. I am also a big fan of their schwarma and lamb kebabs. I always get carry out so I can't speak to the speed or accuracy of their delivery service. read more

I highly recommend this place. The food is outstanding and so is the customer service. I had the chicken kabob and my friend had a chapli kabob. Both were seasoned and cooked perfectly.The nice lady who I believe was the owner gave us complimentary baklava which was great with the green tea. Will go back whenever we get a chance. read more

Great food, great people! Our favorite take-out, especially for a large group. The combo plates for 4 or5 can feed a lot of people. Really good food read more

Wonderful food and a very friendly staff that always makes you feel welcome.

Really good food with generous portions. Might be the top kebabs in the area. Owner was very kind and gave me some free goodies as a first time visitor. Great food and great service. Bravo! read more

Solid food, great service, great lentil soup

I'd have to say this is the best Kabob restaurant in Northern Virginia! I have ordered from here about 20 times in the last few months and I can't have enough! The staff working here are the nicest people you'll ever meet. They get deliveries out quickly and your food is always ready when you are. I've never been to a local restaurant as unique as Arlington Kabob, and I highly recommend this place to everyone who's looking for something new!! And they are also back online for deliveries! read more

Tucked back in the far reaches of Arlington (at least for me) lies a nondescript block of restaurants, one of which is the oasis in this seemingly far off land called Arlington Kabob. I don't really visit this side of Arlington much, but I was jonesin' for kabob and pulled out my trusty Yelp app to find the "best kabob" near Arlington and Arlington Kabob was top of the list. It took me 20 minutes to get here and I also had to pull a U-turn to be on the proper side of the street, so for all of my troubles, I was sincerely hoping this would hit my craving out of the park. And guess what? I was not disappointed in the least! I placed an order online through their website and it estimated my pick up time would be 7:25pm. When I arrived at 7:15pm, my order was waiting for me. For less than $15, I received lamb kabob, onion/pepper mix, spinach, basmati rice, and a piece of naan that was literally larger than my head. The lamb was very tender and seasoned perfectly with that hint of Middle Eastern spice. The spinach, while plentiful, needed some TJ 21 Seasoning Salute, but after that it was quite tasty. FYI: Other side options were chickpeas or side salad. The onion/pepper mix was a nice accompaniment to the meat, as it was also seasoned with that hint of spice. The rice was pretty good, although truthfully, I'm not partial to rice in general. It wasn't plain but was seasoned so that's a plus.The naan was clearly fresh baked and was very yummy when combined with the two separate dips: a green cilantro dip and one more resembling tzatziki sauce. My food did need reheated a little but it did take me 20 minutes to get home so I wasn't expecting it to still be pipping hot. I will note though, it was pipping hot when I received my order at the restaurant. I would absolutely return to try other kabobs (the tilapia and salmon sound interesting) and since I have to satisfy my shwarma craving at some point, I'll return for that in the near future too! read more
