    Bone-in Chicken Kebab

    I love this food! Amin the owner gives amazing costumer service, it's a really clean place. 100% recommended

    Lamb and chicken kebabs
    Bert L.

    Solid overall. No frills, a little lost in translation but solid overall. The lamb was tender. The chicken moist. The spinach a tad watery. The salad was fresh. 3.5 so I will leave 4 because halal was on point.

    Place is alright, I bought the chicken and beef combo and for the amount, it's pretty expensive. Meat was a little over done, chickpeas was decent. I ordered online and told them I placed it online and they made me wait because they thought I was grubhub :\ Overall it's ok, I have had better kabobs.

    Combo Kebab

    I picked up dinner from this place the other night (because the place I was planning to go to was already closed) and glad I did! I ordered a Combo Kabob with one chicken skewer and one beef skewer, small chickpea soup, rice, salad, and Afghan bread. I loved everything! I ate as much as I could until I got really really full. The kabobs were very tender and flavorful and taste better with rice and/or Afghan bread. I'd definitely drop by this place soon for my kabob cravings.

    Sandwich and rice. The nan is well made.

    Friendly guy at the counter. the food was cooked to order, so it takes a bit longer but worth it. The food was really good. Seasoned right without over doing it. The green sauce has just the right kick. Dining room is very basic but clean. Overall, I'd come back for sure.

    Yelp reviewers, y'all let me down this time! I got the lunch kabob and Although they were quick with my order, It was flavorless. The chicken was ehh, the rice was alright, but the sauces....... the white sauce was STRAIGHT UP MAYO. WTF. The green sauce was watered down.. I normally love the white sauce and not the green bc it's too spicy for me , but here... it was the opposite. The only reason I could handle the green sauce was because it was so watered down. Also, The table was disgusting, not clean hence why I put my to-go box on top of a plastic bag.

    This place has really declined. I have been coming here for years and today I think it hit an all time low. I paid $13.50 for an entree to receive two small pieces of chicken. The rice had absolutely no flavor. I asked for meat sauce and was given lentils. What once was solid authentic afghan cuisine is no longer authentic at all. Prior to today we've had a number of delivery orders that were either wrong or missing whole entrees. The manager has always been very nice. I'm not sure if his absence from the daily operations are what is taking a toll on the service and food but I really hope they get it together.

    I've been going here for years. The lamb kabob has always been my favorite. I highly recommend for great service and great food!

    I've definitely tried better places in Centreville but I can say with certainty that this is the best kabob place in Manassas (hands down).

    Really great lamb kabobs. More of a take out restaurant with only a few tables so not much ambiance, but good food.

    We were in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch. Since I had this place marked down to try and…read moreit was literally a few steps away, we walked over. Entry into the counter and buffet with the seating to the left. We almost used the kiosk but I wasn't clear on the buffet options (guess that one was dine-in and one was takeout. But it didn't specify.) We ordered at the counter and sat down. They said the bread would be a few minutes. I went with the buffet, my wife ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, and we got an order of hummus so baby had something. Buffet isn't huge, but it has a good variety. I started with a little of almost everything. The two rices, spinach, chickpea stew, okra stew, chicken curry, beef stew, salad, and pickled veggies. I recommend trying a little of everything because it was all good. Maybe could have used a bit more salt, but better to let someone add seasoning than to be overly salty. I think my favorites were the beef stew, chickpea stew, and seasoned rice. The flatbread came out hot and fresh. Slightly crispy on the bottom and chewy inside. My wife really liked her shawarma wrap. I only took a tiny bite of chicken, but I thought it was good. The hummus seemed fresh with a strong, nutty flavor. I think maybe extra tahini? Price wasn't too bad. Maybe a little pricey, or I'd at least say it wasn't inexpensive. I we did leave quite full. The man working at the counter was extremely friendly. Walking me through everything on the buffet and making recommendations.

I got #14 which is chicken and ground f beef kabobs with salad and you get one side and I picked okra mixed veggies. I forgot to take a photo but the people are always nice and it's pretty fast.

I want to tell you what happened to me and if you ate at this location on Friday afternoon through Saturday 4/10-11/2026, and if you had the same experience then this may give you answers. I ordered takeout (3 kebab mixed platter, I think chicken, lamb, shami And an appetizer of aushak. It came with Qurma meat sauce and rice and veggies. I usually only eat one time a day and only had coffee that morning. I took the food back to my hotel and ate probably 1/2 of it, only sampling the qurma and kebabs and rice and veggies and a couple of aushak. I woke up the next morning early, went to see customers and started feeling a little weak. By Saturday evening and before dinner I was starting to get chills and not feeling right. Sunday morning I woke up with severe stomach pain and diarrhea. It is now 4 days later and I am still more sick than I have ever been in my life. I laid in bed on Sunday & Monday and flew home on Tuesday and went strait to an emergency room where they did a CT and bloodwork and found no issues with gallbladder or pancreas and bleeding, only lots of irritation in the GI track and that I was dehydrated. Since I was not vomiting, The Dr. said it is probable food poisoning. It is Wednesday 4/15 and I am still very sick, nothing to eat in 4 days beyond water, coke, ginger ale and a handful of saltine crackers which all of this has ran through me like water through sieve. I am not saying that it was this places food that caused my sickness, but I am saying that this was my timeline and this is what happened to me and if it happened to you, maybe this give some clarity. I am washing my sheets and covers right now because I shit to bed twice last night. I have been praying to God that I live.
