Amazing middle eastern food, especially the Shawarma and Iraqi Mix Grill Platter with fresh naan bread.

Trying another local kabob spot in the area and this place specializes specifically in Iraqi cuisine. I got the kabob platter and shawarma as a judge of how good this place was. I think the meat was a bit on the dryer side but still tender. Flavors were also a bit on the milder side compared to the Afghani and Pakistani kabobs I typically prefer, but you could still taste the beef/chicken flavor. Portions were typical. Not the best kabobs in the area but will make do if you're in a pinch. Entrees: Chicken Shawarma and Kabob Platter read more

Food was good, hot, and fresh. We made an order to go and ate it while at the hookah bar next door. I wasn't too hungry, so I shared this with my husband. The naan was huge, and we shared it with 3 people. Chicken pieces were large, somewhat juicy. If im ever in the area I'd deff come back. read more

First timer here with my foodie crew! We often order main dishes to share together. We ordered #4 mix kabob, #12 quzi sham, #13 (I forgot what this was called but it had eggplants!) and #14 mezza platter. Everything was delicious and tasty! My fav was #12. The restaurant has plenty of seating. It was quiet when we went and a couple people had takeout orders. The place was clean! Lots of parking outside. read more

My family and I went to Erbil Kabob tonight and enjoyed it a lot. The inside is large with plenty of space for large parties. We had the Combo #1 platter and the Mezza Platter. The service was quick and friendly, and we received our food shortly after ordering it. The naan was HUGE and went very well with our combo tray and mezza platter. We enjoyed the Baba Ghannouj, Kibbeh and tabouli salad was very refreshing. The platter was massive and easily fed all 5 of us, with a lot of leftovers. Would highly recommend if looking for delicious Iraqi *kabob. I'd highly recommend ordering a large combo for a group and splitting it with friends, along with some extra naan! read more

I stopped by this shopping plaza on a Saturday afternoon and saw this restaurant and decided to check it out for the to go menu. The gentleman at the counter was very polite, helpful, and explained a few items to me. I decided to get the beef lamb Kabob with grilled vegetables to go. Along with hummus and dip. It came with a large, fresh, flat bread, so I was happy about that. Everything was delicious and fresh. The kabob had a real nice flavor. As I waited, I watched others come in for dine in and others ordered food to go. They serve soft drinks by the can. I think I saw a yogurt beverage and bottled water. Tea and coffee available. No alcohol. Since it's casual atmosphere, I would normally give 4 stars. However the guy at the counter was welcoming, so that bumped my experience up to 5 stars. And the portion sizes were good. There were some other appetizing items on the menu so I will be back to try! read more

10/10 service Muhammed was so warm and friendly! The interior is cozy and they were so generous with the serving size and extras! Hummus, naan, vegetables and a delicious bean soup were all complimentary with the family size platter we ordered. We had 4 people and barely finished even half of the meal it was fantastic value! We found our new favorite local kabob place and look forward to returning frequently thanks for the amazing service Muhammad! My one comment is I wish there was a fan or door closing the hooka next door closed, it didn't bother me too much but I could see how maybe some customers might be bothered by breathing in the hooka smoke while eating. read more

Their website said that they are open until 2 AM daily. Even the food ordering app, Chow Now was saying the same and was allowing me to place the order online. My order was completed at 10:55 PM for pickup, but when I went there, they were not open. I called the restaurant the next day to inform them of this. The lady who picked up my phone said that she saw my order at their end and would speak to the manager to cancel my order for a refund and would call me back. No one called. A couple of days later, I called the restaurant again. Another lady picked up my call and said the same. They said they would call me back, and they never did. I never got my refund. No one ever called me back and it has been almost a month. I don't know how good the food is (since I never got my order) or what the restaurant ambiance is like, but I can say that the customer service is horrible, with false information provided online. I should never have been allowed to place my order online for pickup if the restaurant wasn't open. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE! read more

The food was really good and the lady helping us was nice. The prices were also really good.

We called ahead and asked to have masgouf special ordered, which they did and see the photos it was amazing. Nice place with walls and tables decorated very nice. Two Iraqis in our group, the owner came out and asked how is everything. The fish was cooked to perfection, not over or under and the flavors on it we all loved. The spicy amba and veggie salad were 100% fresh and the hummus and bread were very good also. What a nice place we will definitely be back! read more

Service- they really don't know how to serve customers. Food- very mediocre and only thing worth getting is the Iraqi keba which is overpriced yet delicious. Also the fresh baked bread is delicious. read more

The food here is really good. Service is good. Nice ambience. Just beware of the 10% sales tax. Seems like the owner made it up and hoped nobody would notice. Might be legit but seemed high. I googled and could not find how they came up with this number. read more

Delicious authentic Kabob, great service! My son had the kabab sandwich and I had the falafel. Both were excellent!

The kabobs are juicy, the bread is soft. The vegetables are crisp. Good value for the cost as well.

Food was burnt, almost all of the tables were dirty before coming in. And when my meal did come some of my food was missing. I hate leaving bad reviews but the food and the ambience wasn't good enough for me. read more

The food was amazing, we had the kabab plater and the chicken shawarma wrap which was my personal favorite. I love love love the deserts, we had one of each of their deserts along with the tea and everything was top notch level.

Fabulous. Great food and atmosphere. Hidden in a strip mall, but well worth the trip. Flatbread and hummus appetizer are amazing!

Great food, big portions and so tasty, the service was amazing, very nice owner and staff, we will be back!!!

The food it was delicious, it is a real Mediterranean style restaurant, workers, very welcoming , nice and very kind, very clean and organize, price it was good. I never have had a good shish kebab like way they did it ERBIL Iraqy restaurant. Thank you so very much for the delicious meal . read more

The kabobs are unique, much more juicy than many other kabobs, with less spices. I heard the kabobs are a lamb beef mix maybe that is why they are more juicy and have a greasy texture to them. The hummus and store made bread is also good. The shawarma wasnt very good, I'm not sure if they use the rotating cone of meat like other shawarma places. There wasnt one that could be seen at least. The cheese pizza also wasn't very good, the bread was way too doughy, and the cheese was very greasy, it seems that they add extra oil on the cheese which is unnecessary. read more

Nice clean with variety of delicious options. Nice and friendly staff with reasonable prices

Waste of time and money, the food is not freshly cooked and the place is not clean, not recommended at all

We truly don't understand all the positive reviews here. Our fair review is as follows: - Food: average - Price: not too bad, however they charged $6 for some extra rice and 3% for credit card payment (and none of that was mentioned beforehand!) - Service: above average - Cleanliness: bad (unclean from floor to ceiling, and we even saw one cockroach running along the wall!) read more

Best food and service in Virginia, first time customer and very impressed, the food is authentic Iraqi

Went for iftar twice now the first time they charged me an extra person (30$) they offered a free meal or refund if I call back. It took a few days but I received a refund. The food was good so we went back, I couldn't get a sitter and took my kids. They are very picky and do not eat middle eastern food. I had to get them fast food. When we called we let them know it would be 3 adults they decided to charge us for one of the kids (16$) anyway knowing they did not eat from the buffet. The table we sat at was meant for 3 people they grabbed chairs from an extra area claiming they are charging for the space. They said they turned down people which was a lie because would they have sat at our table ? The rest of the restaurant was full. They were looking for any reason to charge the kids. They thought they did a favor by only charging for one kid when neither of them ate. I never had this happen before. The owner was also rushing the customers yelling please hurry when in line. He was arguing with us in front of the other customers and then left in anger. We will not be returning. read more

Great food with friendly service! I had maqloobah that was terrific. The fresh bread and stew were tasty and filling. I will be back.

This is the definition of a small mom n pop restaurant so give it the grace and patience you would to any family run establishment. Went in for the lunch buffet on a sunday, the food is fresh and tastes like it's been cooked with care and attention as you would at home. With a few different grilled meat (chicken and beef kabobs) and a couple stews (Chicken and amb shank) served with 2 different kinds of rice and 2 dips (hummus and baba ganoush). I do wish there was atleast 1 vegetarian and 1 seafood entree option on the menu but this is a small restaurant and they're still getting their name out there to bring in customers so I wouldnt hold that against them this early on. The decor is cozy with some traditional bench seating on one side of the restaurant and table seating on the other. I would probably go back again to try out the dinner ala cart menu. very kid friendly if you need a quick and easy meal for the family. read more

The place is so clean and decoration amazing , it is Iraquien sofa, the service was so fast and the person was nice and kind .
