Consistently the best food in the neighborhood. Every time I come here, I clean my plate. If you're looking for "fast", this may not be the place for you. Be patient. The wait' is worth it. read more

Great food at an affordable price - you can't get better than that. I got the chicken kabob with beef combo over rice. read more

Darya Kabob - 2. Chicken Kabob and Beef Kofta Combo - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This is by far my favorite kabob spot in Sterling!! The rice is so tasty, chicken kabob is always cooked perfect and has such amazing flavor to it. I also really enjoy their kofta, it's just as good as the chicken. What I like about this restaurant is it gives a mix of Iranian style kabob but also offers sides such as chick peas; their chick peas and bread are so so yummy!! The staff is amazing, and it's a little cute hole in the wall spot. Definitely recommend! read more

Overall good food though the meat was a little dry and overcooked. The spinach was flavorless but I soaked it in sumac to make up for it. Solid kabob place but Saffron across town has way better meat quality and juicy and tender bites. read more

Darya Kabob - Platter 16 - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This is my favorite kabob spot!!! If you haven't been here yet I would highly recommend going for lunch or dinner you won't regret it!! enjoy the complimentary tea and enjoy their chicken, beef or lamb dishes. My favorite side is there chickpeas it's sooooo delicious. Service is great and lots of tables. The prices are a little on the pricey side but I would say definitely a must if you've never had it! read more

Darya Kabob is a regular spot for me and the family. It's usually busy and the food takes a bit to get ready but it's well worth the wait. The restaurant is well kept and clean. They have delicious wraps and the combo meals are also worth it. Recently I had the chicken and beef combo. The chicken is always great. The beef was a bit overcooked and too chewy but still tasted great and well worth the money. read more

They have the most delicious taftoon bread. I could have eaten only that with the delicious lentil soup. They offer cardamom tea as well. Note they only offer sugar and no sweetener. The food was very good. I had the joojeh and the rice was cooked perfectly. Generous portion and we were both stuffed. read more

Really really good and fresh kabob takeout! I loved the chicken and beef kofta kebabs but the beef was def a little better, so tender! The white tzatziki sauce with the kebabs was also good and helped keep the meat from getting dry. I also tried the hummus which was super smooth and tasty! Would def get takeout from here again. read more

I came back again this past Friday for takeout. It was just as great when I got home to eat it. I ordered #2, #6. Some places would skimp on take outs but not here. It was just as full of good food if you ate in. I plan to good thru it's menu. Food is very fresh and the bread was soft and hot fresh too. Service was excellent to. The beef and chicken was juicy and flavorful. This is a hidden gem. read more

My wife and I think that this may be the best kabob in the Herndon area. Darya has great service, fair prices and is the food is always cooked perfectly. We have tried the vegetable kabobs and the chicken kabobs. Both are perfectly seasoned and the chicken isn't over or under cooked. The naan is hot and fresh, the rice is flavorful and the chick peas complete a great (and filling) meal. My wife isn't a rice fan, so they always provide her with a fresh salad in place of the rice. If you don't feel like cooking tonight, roll on over to Darya for kebabs. You aren't going to regret it! read more

Its my second time here. I love the food here. The seasoning is just perfect. The sauce and the portion is very generous. Today the cashier lady was supper nice. She appear to be new to her job. Didn't say much. But u can feel her genuine vibe throughher smilesand gestures. Definitely recommend. And be back. read more

Darya Kabob - Chicken kofta - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Yesterday, we stopped by a kebab place for dinner, and I was absolutely blown away. The food was just beyond words, everything was incredibly delicious. The rice, the meat, the salad and the bread.....oh my God, the freshly baked bread was simply amazing! Honestly, everyone needs to come and try it for themselves. And the atmosphere? It was quiet, peaceful, and welcoming, just perfect for fully enjoying such incredible food. Will definitely come back again! A huge thank you to the owners and staff for everything!!! A huge thank you to the owners for everything! read more

Darya is top 3 kabob places I've been to in NOVA. They are consistently flavorful and delicious. You can't go wrong with their chicken and beef or gyro combos. The chickpeas and hummus are my favorite. I do wish they had flavored naan like garlic. It would go well with the hummus but the naan is still good. They give a big portion with your meals. I've never had a bad experience here, but I usually get take out. read more

Darya Kabob - 11. Beef and Chicken Kabob Combo Platter - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

First off I go in and they acted clueless with my order and then a bread fill on the floor and they picked it up and put it in my bag which to me it is very disrespectful to a customer. It symbolizes that they feed customers of the floor. They charged me 20 dollars for floor food. I hope they have better management and not treat future customers in this disrespectful way. read more

I love the food here. The best parts are the food is halal, delicious, and their kitchen is egg free (except for maybe the white sauce) so my son who has an egg allergy can eat here. He loves their food too so that's a double win! read more

Stay away from these two: Tandoori Chicken and Kubideh The rest is good. Tandoori chicken is not good as they make it very dry and it is always a bit sour, has to do with the way they marinate it, and Kubideh is not good at all. I really like their Chicken Kufta. Bread is always good sides are very good specially Aash. read more

Finally got to try this place! We have tried to get food here twice but the wait was 20-30mins around 5-6pm ish and that was too long of a wait with a toddler. So we finally ordered ahead of time and picked up the food. Chicken kabob, rice and chickpea side was perfect- toddler approved! read more

I've been ordering regularly from Darya for over a year. We always pickup takeout meals and have really enjoyed the food. All of the meats are prepared very well and seasoned perfectly. We really like the zereshk rice and the tzatziki is really delicious. Even the naan bread is top notch. Now for the last few months, about every other order that we have placed has been short at least one item. We have had 5 orders now that have been shorted, almost every time there has been a missing kebab from one of the platters. Each time, I have called to address the issue and they offer to add a free kebab to my next order. Unfortunately, that is five times that we have been without enough food to feed everyone when we get the food home - it is super inconvenient to have to go quickly cook up something additional so we have enough food. This last time, I tried to speak with management about the recurring issue, but they refused to speak with me. I called multiple times and I was promised a return call by the owner but that call never came. It is unfortunate that I have to post this. The food is really good but I will not be going back because I cannot trust them to provide the food that was paid for and they apparently do not care to try to address this problem. read more

This place has the WORST service ever and never will be going back there again. I asked for tandoori chicken wrap and ensured me during ordering AND when I picked up the order that it is a Tandoor chicken wrap. When I get home and look at the sandwich, surprise...ITS NOT a tandoori sandwich. Then when I call and tell them it's the wrong order....they proceed to tell me they don't sell it so tough luck and I have to come all the way back for a refund and that THIS IS AMERICA and that's how shit works. I used to order 3X a week from this place because of how close it is. After this experience, never again. Will go to the much friendlier and better place at Cafe Rice and Kabob. Right in the next shopping center over. read more

Darya Kabob - Just in case anybody thinks I'm BSing about how much I order from. there. They treat regular customers like crap. - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Good kabobs, good taste, quick, sufficient no glitter all rock and roll. Serves well since rice kabob is gone

Sitting outside with flies was not pleasant. Tomatoes were burnt and kababs were overdone and dry. For what they charge they can do a lot better. Off my list for now. read more

My fav dish is the Ghormeh sabzi it's soooo yummy ! Great customer service . Highly recommend ! read more

Darya Kabob - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

The food is amazing!! The best kabob in this area. They fully load your plate and we like that it offers two sides. They do not charge for additional sauce. This is our go to place for kabob. read more

Wonderfully delicious food !! The restaurant has been recommended to me on multiple occasions and they were right!! Great food!! The service is stellar. Parking is plentiful. The staff is very friendly. The ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. No one is rushing anyone to get a table. Eat, converse and enjoy the meal. Now I know why it has stood the test of time. Thank you Darya. read more

They give a lot of food, service is fairly quick it takes about 10-15 mins. I got the beef and chicken kabob platter. I also got a choice of a side and two pieces of bread. My only wish is that the food didn't have a slight after taste to it. There is seating area available inside. I'd be back a lot of food and affordable pricing. read more

We tried this place on a late Thursday evening. The restaurant is clean the bathrooms were clean. Service was great, courteous, and professional. Food was prepared to our liking. Kabobs were cooked well, the soup for the appetizer was delicious. The bread and rice that companies the kebabs were cooked well and tasty. Overall we had a great experience with delicious food. read more

I love the chicken kabob here - the reason I am giving 4 stars is, the price gauging on DoorDash/uber eats is insane.

Don't go to this place if you're looking at the menu online because it's not even accurate. They don't have half of the items that are on their menu online and their prices are totally different when you get there. Do yourself a favor and find another place. That's what I'm doing. They didn't even try and accommodate the confusion on the Yelp menu versus what they have in store. The person working there actually told me "that is old". Well, if I'm not mistaken, you uploaded everything to yelp. Therefore, you can upload a new menu to yelp. am I wrong? Won't ver be back. 27.00 for 3 skewers? Hard pass for me. Much different than the 14.99 price on Yelp read more

Delicious food! We pick up food from here regularly and they are consistently good. Love the combos with chicken, beef kofka and lamb.

Edit, changing from 4* to 5* This place is consistently ah-mazing! We've ordered a few times and whether it's the Darya platter or simply kofta (beef), always ah-mazing! Don't hesitate, order. So far, five orders and we are looking forward to#6 read more

Darya Kabob - Darya platter - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I have been coming here for a while over the years and always was satisfied with their food. However, today we were really blown away. I came here with my Mom today, we got our usual (chicken kabob, beef & chicken kofta) which was delicious. Additionally, we tried their rice pudding (sheer berenj) omg! It was on my top 3 best rice puddings I have tried. Anyway, give them a try, you won't regret it! read more

Conveniently located next to my dentist Dr. Gloria. When we first arrived into the establishment on Saturday we were immediately greeted. The gentleman kindly explained the menu to us and we proceeded with our order. My fiancé ordered the lamb and beef kabob. OMG it was sooooooo good! The flavors, the amount of food we received everything was so tasty! Our only disappointment was that we couldn't take this place back to Atlanta ( yes my dentist is still in VA and I live in the ATL ) Not sure if they were here we I lived in the area a few years ago but we are definitely coming back! read more

This is one of my favorite Persian food joints in the Herndon/Sterling area. It's a little family owned business with the nicest owners ever and the the best home made food. The pita was warm and soft, the quality of the kabobs is superb, and the seasoning of the meats was mouth watering. The place is very clean and comfortable, will definitely be ordering again. read more

Darya has always been one of my favorite places to get good kabobs. Their rice is delicious. They are under new management and have some changes to the inside as well as their menu. I prefer just white rice but they also have another kind of brown rice so they usually give you half and half. Their food is seasoned well and tasty. Sometimes there is a little to much char. I docked a star because they are a bit inconsistent. Sometimes everything is great. Other times the meat might be a little overcooked or bread hard. However I can say most of the time I enjoy my food and the value is superb. read more

Very disappointed as this place was great before. Now koobedeh recipe has changed to more filler and chicken was undercooked.. maybe new cook. But sadly it has gone downhill. read more

Darya Kabob - Beef koobideh - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Love Darya for consistently good quality Persian food that is quick, fresh, and always with friendly service. I always leave this place pleasantly satiated. Everything on their menu is good. But their lamb kabobs are some of the BEST I have ever had (and I consider myself kind of a kabob connoisseur) - juicy, tender, fresh, and full of flavor. A must have. read more

Darya Kabob - 10. Lamb Kabob and Beef Kofta Combo - Kebab Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I want to like this place more since it's so conveniently located near my gym. However they messed up my very simple to go order and I got overcharged. Ordered just some basic sides: rice, sauce and grape leaves. Asked for the grilled tomatoes to be included. Received rice that had a lot of cranberries (and didn't like that). Only one slice of tomato and grape leaves. No sauce at all, missing. And got charged extra for "custom item" for no reason. Disappointed when I got home. What's the point of dry rice with no sauce? read more

Fantastic food! Everything is Fresh and delicious.. very good! Well worth your time and try.

Food was really good.. service was nice...found my go to spot for Mediterranean food..a must try for any foodies out there!! we got the bone in chicken platter and the lamb kabob and they were so good...no gamey smell from the lamb at all and the portion was good read more

The food is consistently excellent. Our group of friends loves the chicken and kofta kabob! Would recommend this restaurant.
