    Chicken Curry Side
    Kevin L.

    It's been awhile since I have eaten here as I no longer live in the area. My friend wanted kabobs and I immediately recommended this place. As we decided to dine in, the staff gave us some free soup while we waited for our food. I ordered the Combo Kabob with beef and bone-in chicken. Not many Kabob spots offer bone-in chicken because it takes longer to cook. I got a side of chicken curry and chick peas. All of these items were as good as I remembered them to be. I highly recommend you try this place out if you're in the mood for Kabobs. The staff here is friendly and are service oriented. Go check them out!

    Lamb Kabob with Qabuli rice and lamb stew.

    Great food and friendly staff! I always get the lamb kabob with Qabuli rice and a side of lamb stew. I love the fresh tandoori naan too.. I highly recommend this place!

    Take out! 1 of 3 meals. Delicious lunch combo. Chicken and lamb. Comes with rice salad, bread and a side. Our favorite I eggplant!

    My family and I love this restaurant and have been going there for over 15 years. The service is friendly. Parking is easy. It's right next to Marshall's. We love the chicken, lamb, eggplant, and the green sauce. Highly recommend Ambiance - plenty of tables and places to sit.

    Laid back DELICIOUS kabob!

    Yum! I was in Tyson's getting car service at one of the area's many dealerships. I took a little walk around and found this place. I saw a lot of people eating inside, so I thought I'd give it a try. Wow, I'm impressed. The meat is cooked right in front of you so you can see what a solid job they're doing. Prices are super reasonable and portions are large, especially when compared to downtown DC. The boneless chicken breast kabob is seasoned to near perfection! If you are gluten-free, they'll serve your food on a salad instead of on bread, and if you're low-carb they'll give you extra salad instead of rice. They have several side dish curries and I tried the perfectly tangy cauliflower one. What a find! It's a simple place so don't expect ambience, service, or environment. Just damn good simple food.

    This looks pretty.

    This was actually quite impressive! Personally, for the prices they charged, I got a fair meal, probably even a better one compared to what I would have gotten if I had went to Friends Kabob up the road. I think I found a new Persian restaurant to go to in the Tysons area! To play it safe, I got myself a chicken and whatever their equivalent of Koobideh is. It comes on a big piece of Afghan bread, along with rice and a side salad. They also give you chickpeas and some cucumber habanero sauce for dipping. Yum. Because I got there early, the owner was nice enough to give me a small sample of their Afghan soup. He warned me ahead of time that it would be spicy, but I was up to the challenge. It had some noodles and vegetables and spices but it was in fact really good and really easy to take down. It creates a little burn in the back of the throat, but nothing I could not handle. Onto the main course, the chicken was pretty bland. The only Persian restaurant I have been to that has done the chicken right has been Flame Kabob in Springfield *sigh*. Then I tried their Koobideh version. Really good! Nice spice and excellent flavor, and it was not skimpy! The rice was also good too! Not heavy on the butter and worked incredibly well with everything. I also liked the chickpeas (though again, not nearly as good as Flame Kabob), and their bread, which was fantastic. The perfect combination of crunchy and chewy. Their habanero sauce was fantastic. I really enjoyed the food overall and felt that the customer service was that of trying to get the word out and bring in business. This was worth a trip and I was happy to have gotten something positive out of it. I will return next time to try the lamb and maybe a gyro.

    Food corner kabob house has great service! The food was yummy and affordable! I wish their spicy green sauce was spicier and that their samosas were heated but everything else was delicious & filling. I had the combo with lamb & chicken. The chicken was super juicy & flavorful and the lamb was good too. They gave my friends and I free soups while we were waiting for our orders. Needless to say, it was a good experience and welcoming environment. An employee even came outside to say goodbye! 10/10 would recommend.

    Afghan lamb kabob with jasmine rice, flatbread and curry chicken.
    Gigi M.

    I spent the morning shopping for my new apartment and was starving. This was the only restaurant in the parking lot. Popped in. First impressions - they specialize in Afghan food -The restaurant is authentic. The food choices looked wonderful but I settled on an Afghan lamb kabob with jasmine rice and curry chicken. It was served on a large fresh flat bread. I chose curry chicken as my side. Damn! This was good stuff! The bread was off the chart. The lamb and rice also very good. The chicken curry was a little spicy but also very good. My one criticism was that the tables weren't cleaned after people left. Cleanliness is more important than the food to me. The restaurant was clean but no one wiped down the tables while I was there. I live in the district but will be back with friends and family. Very good!!

    Dear Joon Management,…read more My family and I have been regular customers at your restaurant since March because we truly enjoy your excellent Persian food. I have also brought many coworkers and friends to introduce them to your restaurant. Unfortunately, during every visit over the past several months, the rice has been excessively salty. It tastes as though salt was added to the rice rather than the rice being properly seasoned. In May, I brought eight guests, and nearly everyone left their rice untouched. In early July, I returned with four people, and once again no one ate the rice. We mentioned the issue to our waiter, who was very polite and said he would inform the manager and the cook. On the third Wednesday of July, I came with two friends, and once again none of us ate the rice. I spoke with the manager, who was very kind and assured me she would discuss the issue with the cook. Unfortunately, despite reporting the problem more than once, nothing has changed. If this had happened only once, I would not be writing this email. However, after several disappointing visits, I expected that our meals would have been replaced or that we would not have been charged for food that was left uneaten because of the overly salted rice. I respectfully request that you consider providing a refund or another appropriate resolution for our most recent visit. More importantly, I hope this issue is corrected so future customers can fully enjoy your excellent food. If our feedback is important to you, I would appreciate hearing from you. I would also like to share your response with the friends and coworkers I have encouraged to visit your restaurant. My name is David A., and my email address is Shirpelang@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, David A.

Everything was delicious, no weak dish in the bunch. The meatballs and falafel especially stood out, but honestly the whole table was clean by the end. We also tried the Fig Old Fashioned and the Hafizz Spritz. The Fig Old Fashioned was the standout of the night: bourbon sweetened with fig cordial and warmed with Angostura bitters. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and dangerously easy to drink. The Hafizz Spritz was refreshing too, cucumber, lime, and mint with gin, prosecco rosé, and elderflower, but the Fig Old Fashioned is the one I'm already thinking about ordering again. Great first visit. Will be back for social hour again.

First, I didn't realize it was a sit down and order restaurant, I was used to short order. I was quickly seared and within a couple minutes one server had brought me water as well as fresh tandoori bread and a delicious spicy green sauce to go with it. A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.

First of all I need to know what kind of sorcery they are doing to that chicken because how do they get chicken breast THAT tender?? Juicy, flavorful, not dry at all. Seriously so good. The lamb had really good flavor too but mine was a little overcooked and a few pieces took more chewing and determination than I wanted to give them. Brown rice was delicious. Definitely not one of those sad side dishes you ignore. Now the chutney... I like to add a little salt, tear off pieces of the Afghan bread and dip away. So good. Add some sumac if you like a little sour kick and squeeze lemon over the kabobs. I really liked the open grill too. I swear I got put into a little trance watching the fire dance around the meat and hearing the occasional singe as the juices hit the flames. I know. What a geek lol. Chicken and lamb combo was $26 plus tax and a bottle of Coke Zero was $3.99, which apparently is where we are in life now. Almost four dollars for a bottle of Coke Zero. Fine. Take my money. Would have been a solid 5 if the lamb was a little more tender but that chicken? Yeah I'm coming back for you.

This establishment seems to be Egyptian owned, as the walls claim that Egyptians created bread, cupcakes and falafel. The service was fine, though the tables could have been cleaner. I appreciate that they allow you to substitute some of the rice portion for lettuce/spring mix although the spring mix was wet. They also offered both spicy and regular options for rice and chicken. I got spicy rice with spicy chicken, and for my toppings I got Mediterranean salad, hummus, and tzaziki. I didn't realize you could also get white sauce, green sauce, etc, so I probably wouldn't get tzaziki and get olives or something else next time. The chicken and rice combo was a bit overly spicy for me and upset my stomach slightly. I'd probably get regular for both the next time. I also got tiramisu which they recommended over all the other "cupcakes" which they claim (via the wall) is Egyptian. The tiramisu was surprisingly good.

The lamb rice dish had both aromatic rice and juicy, well seasoned lamb. I ended up combining the lamb pieces with the chicken rice. Out of curiosity, I tried a piece of their fried chicken. It proved juicy and not too oily. It would do well as a standalone appetizer in most restaurants. I also tried something that looked like lasagna, but without tomato. It tasted, to my uncultured palate, like a lasagna with some sort of cream or bechamel-like sauce. I quite enjoyed it. For dessert, my friend convinced me to try what I had initially passed over as oatmeal or tapioca pudding. The Omi Ali proved quite delectable, like a cross between bread pudding and oatmeal but with more nuanced spices and sweetness. I added it to my short list of desserts I enjoy, since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Overall, I appreciated the breath and variety. Some hits and misses are to be expected at a homely, ethnic neighborhood style buffet.
