So delicious and accommodating! We were getting a very large takeout order(for 10) on short notice. They were kind and patient, helping us figure out how much of each item we needed. They even offered to package the food up family style as to avoid having so many small containers. They carefully packed us a wonderfully array of delicious kabobs that everyone was thrilled with. Everything was tender, and the spicy chapli was a standout! Great food, really wonderful service. We will be back. read more

The only place we get kabob at, best in nova. This is our go to place and our kids only will eat kabob from here. The chicken kabob is the best read more

Great food and especially the naan, fresh! I had a great dinner there, one of the best lamb kabobs I have had.

Food was very good and plentiful. Staff was great. This is not a fancy place. Would definitely go back! Small seating area. Excellent cheap eat read more

They just catered a huge holiday party for 200 - 300 guests. It was wonderful! The food was flavorful and distinct.

Great service, good kabobs, & great pricing to. Took my grandparents here today because it was near the Arlington cemetery and for a quick stop was quite good. For the price it's great. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Arlington, VA. Talk about a restaurant that you will try and then crave for days thereafter. My brother and I went for lunch a few days ago to try the chicken and lamb kabobs that were recommended to us by friends. Both meats were tender and well cooked, but the star of the show for us was the rice, chickpeas, side of flavorful veggies, and sauces that came with the flatbread appetizer. This is a solid meal that will be sure to leave you satiated! Additionally, it wouldn't be fair to not mention the staff. Even though it's more of a fast casual restaurant, they brought out our food to the table outside and provided attentive (and unexpected) customer service. This spot is a must try for more unique, fresh food in Arlington, I cannot wait to go back! read more

I love restaurants that understand that they are part of a community. The owners of this little place live like they love their neighbors! AND the food is very good! I had a lunch special of chicken kabob, rice and chickpeas. Fairly priced. Service with a smile. This is how to do it! read more

It was an okay experience. We ordered 5 rolls for dinner, and they were made quickly which I appreciated. However, I thought it came with fries, not UTZ potato chips so I wish they clarified that on their menu. We ordered their gyro wrap, lamb wrap, and chicken tikka wrap. While they all needed more flavor or seasoning, the lamb was the best out of the three. The gyro was the most disappointing. If you're going to serve gyros, you need to slice the meat A LOT thinner. There were just three big slabs of the lamb/gyro meat mixture and it was not enjoyable to eat. The owner and employees seem really nice though! read more

This place is really legit. Incredible, tender chicken. Really good naan. Chickpeas and Spinach are both delicious sides. And that white sauce? Total masterpiece. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Pretty good food and service in this restaurant Food is fresh and delicious. The store is very clean. read more

Small portions of soup for $10. Favor is nice. Naan is hot and nice. Baklava is poorly. Lamb dish is nice. The gyro for $10 is nice. The tea is nice the service is polite. The building is grimy and the down stairs bathroom and the decent is a nightmare of filth noise and wired stink. The owner talks to her help rudely and she uses slave labor which is horrible. Ethical absence. read more

Arlington Kabob is my favorite place to get a gyro in Arlington. The lamb is juicy and flavorful accompanied by a great tzatziki sauce and a lovely pita to hold it together it's the best! read more

Arlington Kabob serves for what is in contention for the most tender and juicy Kabobs I have ever had. Arlington is seemingly spoilt for choice when it comes to the availability of Kabob shops. This place however is something special. The owner was warm, friendly and answered my questions in a way that made the decision making towards my order easier. Then came the waiting... Yes the wait for our food was somewhat long (20 mins) and we were hungry, but boy was it worth it. First they served the naan bread, piping hot with butter on the side. Then came out kabobs served with 2 kinds of rice, a side salad and an in-house vegetable preparation (we opted for the potato and carrot curry). The Kabobs are also served with a garlic white sauce and a super delicious herby green sauce. Thoroughly satisfied we could only think about when we'd be returning. read more

I come to Arlington Kabob once a week. It is the perfect Sunday evening comfort food; I usually opt for carry out but sometimes do delivery. The food is consistently good - hot, flavorful, and generously portioned. The meat is never dry, and they have some of the best naan in Northern VA. Tonight I picked up my usual (chicken tikka, side salad, quabli topping on the rice) and mentioned to the owner that I'd like extra bread for my neighbor friend who has the flu. Not only did she give me the bread, she insisted on sending me home with lentil soup for her. Yes, the food is delicious, and I would be a frequent customer even if they weren't so kind and inviting. But the love they put into everything they do is much appreciated. read more

Still good, but not quite as good as it used to be. I ordered the lamb special this time and the lamb chunks were so tough I bent the fork tines on it. Still tasty but not quite as good. Chickpeas/Chole were a little bland and watery. Rice was very good as was the naan. So still very good but not as great. read more

Arlington Kabob - Steak and cheese is really good! - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Omg! Wish we had known this place sooner!!!! The best kabob in town. Everything tasted flavorful and amazing here. We ordered a combo tray for 3, which came with 2 sides (we chose spinach and potatoes). So good! They also serve tea on the side, which was also good. The lady was also very nice. Happy customers right here. Would definitely come back :) read more

I have driven by this restaurant 1,000 times and I am glad I finally stopped today. Great experience. Welcoming, clean, taking COVID precautions, great food at reasonable prices. What is not to like. read more

Done take-out a few times over the pandemic. Food seems to be ready later each time. Last time, they forgot the baklava we ordered, offered initially to deliver, put me on hold and took it back. Then said they would refund my credit card. Just checked and they did not. read more

I've been disappointed lately with some places that were highly rated on Yelp. So I came here with lowered expectations but high hopes given all the 5 star reviews. Well, let me tell you friends, the hype is real. This is the best kabob platter I've had in the last year and top 5 lifetime. The Lamb Kabobs were juicy, tender and flavorful. Beef kofta kabob was tasty as well. I've tried Lamb Kabobs in many, many places and more often than not they are a bit disappointing --- chewy, or dry or just plain tasteless. In addition, and almost as importantly, all other platter items were perfectly cooked. Both types of rice fresh and fluffy, naan soft and pillowy yet a little crispy on the exterior and stewed potato side dish was so simple but honest and delicious. My only minor complaint is that they need to offer more two kabob combos for one person at a fair price. I hate the expense of ordering an extra kabob a la carte. Hungry fellas like myself need two kabobs to fill up. But then again I don't know what there rent or expenses are like. Also to note... spartan but clean interior and super friendly and efficient service. This family owned business deserves and truly appreciates your support. I'm gonna be back real soon! read more

The BEST kabob I have ever had. The portions are huge, the meat is fresh and you actually taste the flame grill and seasonings. My favorite is the salmon, but I have tried the chicken and lamb as well and all were delicious. A true hidden gem with so many kabob restaurants in close proximity read more

Afghan place right down the road on Lee Highway. So glad I went! Food portion was HUGE and it was delicious. Gyro platter was more than enough to feed two people and we still had leftovers. I would recommend calling ahead because they were very busy. Can't wait to go back and try a new dish. read more

Nicely run good food! Nice guy at the counter! And the lady was also very nice too! I had a Kofta kabob on a bed of rice and had some green tea with Cardamom. The tea is served freely like how they do with many kebab Place is which is good the Tandoor bread was wonderful light and crispy wonderful and warm on the inside. My cousin had the lamb kebab I liked it very much I tried it he tried a bit of mine. I know your food is good and I will be returning. All over I like the experience I had. read more

I can't believe I never reviewed this place until now. This is by far my favorite kabob place in the DMV area!! The staff is always very friendly and on point. I probably eat here at least 2-5x per month. Food is always consistent. Plus I love that the food is not that greasy so I can go back to work right after I eat instead of being in food coma. They serve free mint tea if you eat there which I like to drink in the end after my delicious meal. When the female owner is on-site, I noticed the food is slightly better then normal. My favorite option is the combo for 2 where you can order 4 different meats and I will split it with a co-worker. If I have to order just for my self, then I always get the Kufta Chicken Kabob which is my absolute favorite of all the wonderful kabobs they have. My friends joke with me and call me Kabob King because I'm addicted to kabobs and like to try new places all the time. Arlington Kabob is still my favorite and I have converted so many of my friends over. Plus they accept credit cards which is convenient. I prefer this place over Ravi Kabob and Kabob Palace... although there is no denying that Ravi has the best chickpeas ever. read more

You guys. THIS PLACE! What a great hole in the wall kabob restaurant! Came here yesterday, and had to check it after reading the reviews and the goodness rings all true and true! I absolutely love this small business, sooo many great selection of dishes to choose from! We were at a loss because everything looked and sounded so great, at the recommendation of the (extremely hospitable!) workers we got the chaplee kabob (a good punch of spiced and well cooked tender beef patties) and combo dish (I got the chicken and lamb kabob plate - Holy guaco, the LAMB kabob is absolute divine!! Soo juicy and tender yet soft to the cut at the same time - not overly cooked or dry at all). Both dishes were served over a bed of seasoned rice, so delicious. We also chose the potatoes for the vegetable side, also scrumptious and full of flavors. The meals comes with complimentary bread that was freshly baked and tea. I wish I had the stomach to try everything on the menu! So many kabob restaurants in this neck of the neighborhood but this is a top contender for sure. Definitely returning to try the lamb chops, shawarma dishes again! Tip- though dining in room is smaller, it is pretty cozy and still a great place to sit in for the meal. Otherwise many people also order out from here. read more

Food is outstanding. The lamb chops are cooked to perfection every time. Homemade bread is delicious. Authentic quibil rice topping is a must have that you can't get at most places. Chickpeas as a side are a must have. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. Family run, so the service is excellent. Nice interior for dining in, but trust me your not going there for the ambiance, your going there for the amazing food. read more

Gave me the wrong order last week. Called them immediately and let them know I was unable to come back. I was told they'll give me the correct order next time I come and it will be free. Called today to place my order and they had amnesia. No free food, wasted my money. Will be calling my bank to dispute the charge and get my money back. Terrible service. Just lost a customer. read more

The absolute sweetest staff! It was our first time and they let us try a bunch of foods we haven't eaten before, and the food was amazing! They were so kind, I'll be back for sure & I'm happy to have found this place! (Also shoutout to the great 90s reggaeton playing in the kitchen that made me so happy!) read more

This was my first time here and my friend who only eats halal food highly recommended this place. It looks quite small from the outside and the parking lot in the front is very limited. Don't park anywhere that is prohibited...there is available parking also in the back. As we walked in...almost every table was full and we were generously greeted. It's not a fancy place by any means but it is clean looking and it's order your food at the counter. The person working there quickly put 2 tables together for us as we were a party of 5. The food was delicious and even the extra sides I ordered was delicious....I have no complaints!! They have water and tea available on the side of the restaurant. My friend said the only weird location is the restroom...which she said was down the steps and in a long hallway. read more

Best lamb kabob we've ever had! Good service. The ambiance isn't posh, but this place is perfect for takeout. Highly recommend!!!

If you are looking for fresh all natural meats and vegetables Arlington Kabob has it. With their open kitchen you can see first hand the staff preparing the meats and vegetables. I popped in for lunch today and ordered a chicken shawarma. It was a generous portion of chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onions on warm naan bread. It came with additional yogurt based sauces which I enjoy the cucumber yogurt sauce the best. For my side I got the sautéed spinach which was made nicely. I will be back to try their other dishes. Thank you Arlington Kabob for taking pride in the food you service our community! read more

Absolutely the most delicious kabob place I've had here in the DMV area. If you're near this place definitely go you won't be disappointed. I had the lamb kabob platter it comes with the naan and a side dish ( I got the hummus), Tzaiki sauce, and two kinds of rice. $13 for the meal. read more

Very generous portions, deliciously made kebabs. I would will definitely visit again if ever in the area. We had the combo platter for two and our sides were chickpeas and spinach. Absolutely delicious. read more

This is one of the best kabob spots in the area. Not only is very thing I've tried on the menu delicious and fresh, the naan is to die for, but the staff is super friendly. My first time ordering from here I got into a conversation with one of the owners while I waited for my order and when I told her it was my first time ordering she included a free baklava with my order. Made me what to go back just because of the kindness and then I tasted the food and I was sold! Excellent place, friendly staff, always busy, worth the wait! read more

This is one our go to takeout dinner (and sometimes lunch) spots. The kabob platter for 4 plus a salad is perfect for our family of four. The chickpeas are the best side!! Don't miss this place if you are in the area. It's easy to miss! read more

The food is fantastic! Chicken skewers are the best I have ever had. It is great to be able to order platters and skewers by themselves.
