    Exceptional food, got the chicken kabob with chickpeas and salad. Very friendly service. Highly recommend.

    We ordered from Dunya Restaurant for a large-scale catering event at one of the most historic (and logistically complicated) venues in Washington, DC -- the Andrew Mellon Auditorium. This was a black-tie gala fundraiser for over 450 guests. From start to finish, they were extremely professional and easy to work with. Their pricing was very reasonable and fair, and they provided a full on-site staff to manage the crowd, serve food, and ensure everything ran smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious -- authentic Afghan cuisine with a great mix of vegetarian and meat options, along with desserts and more. The quality, presentation, and service were all top-notch. I would highly recommend Dunya Restaurant for any upscale or large-scale catering event.

    Make sure you stop by !!!

    If I could them more stars I would !!! They are very welcoming and treat us like family The food is amazing!! You never go wrong with any appetizer, main meal or dessert that you order. The restaurante setting is very comfortable, clean, elegant and demur! Don't miss out!!!

    Kabuli pulao

    Dunya Restaurant and Banquet has been around for a long time, they recently relocated to Lorton. I recently met up with a friend for an early dinner at their new location. We ordered the K8. Deluxe kabob which includes boneless chicken kabob, beef and lamb kabob and subbed the plain rice with kabuli rice (carrot and raisin topped). The order came with two sides of chickpeas and spinach. We also ordered the mantu which was delicious. They served us with a complimentary chicken noodle soup which was pretty yum. My favourite were the mantu, rice and the two sides. The accompanying mint and white gyro sauce is very delicious to dip your food in. The shami kabob was good but the chicken and lamb kabob were a little on the dry side. The service is very quick and its a casual eatery with no fuss but the food is delicious. They also had a bunch of afghan sweetmeats in the display that looked tempting. Will come back for the kabuli pulao and a different combo of kabobs next time. Dunya kabob is a must try when in the area.

    They used to be full service restaurant in Springfield but moved to smaller place in Lorton. Food is still amazing true afghan flavor. Place is nice, service is friendly and fast. Bone in chicken kabobs are amazing.

    As a consulting firm that facilitates Stakeholder Alignment Sessions for complex construction…read moreprojects, the environment we choose can make or break the day. We've hosted several half-day and full-day sessions at Point of View, and it has consistently exceeded our expectations. The setting is its greatest asset. Being off-site and surrounded by the serene views of Mason Neck allows our clients to step out of "project mode" and into a collaborative mindset. It's quiet, professional, and provides the perfect "neutral ground" for resolving difficult conflicts and aligning on project goals. What truly sets Point of View apart is the administrative and support team. From the initial booking to the final wrap-up, they are incredibly helpful and proactive. They understand the nuances of hosting professional groups and are always one step ahead of our needs--whether it's a last-minute tech adjustment or coordinating logistics. Knowing the staff has our back allows us to focus entirely on our clients rather than worrying about the facility.

Highly recommend it.

    I went to see the Osprey's back in January 2025 and fell in love with it right away. We met with…read moreVanessa, who showed us the venue and went over reception options for our wedding. One thing we quickly realized was that the Osprey's had excellent customer service. Every question we had was answered quickly. Vanessa was very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Even with the follow up questions we had after our tour, Vanessa responded to our emails quickly. Once we were about 45 days away from the wedding, we were paired with Tori, who was our Event Director. When we met with Tori, she was very friendly and helpful. One thing that we found helpful was the timeline template they provided us with. It helped us plan out our reception details with ease. One thing to note was that the Osprey's provides a list of preferred vendors to work with, such as DJ's, caterers etc. Their preferred list was a God send! We ended up hiring 2 of their preferred vendors and so happy we did! The day of our wedding was PERFECT. Everything we planned and wanted actually happened. I received so many compliments about the venue and my wedding and I was so happy our guests truly enjoyed it. Tori did a fantastic job as our event director and made sure we followed the timeline and kept things moving with ease. While the day flew by, we simply had an amazing wedding. I wanted to send a huge thank you to both Vanessa and Tori for making our special day go so well. :)
