I had a very disappointing experience with both the food quality and customer service. A family member purchased takeout from this restaurant for me. When I got home and started eating, I discovered a bug in my food (see attached photos). Unfortunately, the restaurant was already closed that evening, so I returned the following day to speak with the owner/manager. Instead of listening to my concerns, he was rude and repeatedly interrupted me before I could explain what had happened. While I was standing there trying to resolve the issue, he started taking orders from customers behind me instead of addressing my complaint. He asked for the receipt, but since my family member had purchased the food the day before and paid cash, I didn't have the receipt. I showed him the untouched food in its original container, which clearly matched the meal they had served, but he refused to help or even properly investigate the issue. Finding a bug in your food is disturbing enough, but what made the experience even worse was the complete lack of professionalism and concern. Rather than trying to make things right, he dismissed the situation and showed no interest in resolving a legitimate customer complaint. I hope the restaurant takes food safety seriously and improves the way it handles customer concerns. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment. read more

Grill Kabob - Raw naan pic speaks for itself self - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

The beef kobeedah is exquisite. It goes so well with the white sauce. One of my favorite food combos. I had to make sure to update my review from last time. The chicken is great and the beef kobeedah is excellent. The regular beef kebab not as much. read more

Food good but if you pay by credit card they automatically add a tip which should not be allowed. If you pay cash no issue. So check your bill read more

Delicious. While visiting Dulles Town Center, this is one of our go to places to grab a bite to eat. You can smell the grilled kabobs and fresh bread in the air. Employees are friendly and quick. They do a great job preparing your food in an orderly fashion. This place gets busy, especially on weekends. Our order was neatly wrapped with plastic silverware, napkins, and sauces. Their kabobs are incredibly flavorful and well prepared. The rice is fluffy and fresh. Their bread is also freshly prepared and their chickpeas are perfectly seasoned. The side salad comes with cucumbers, carrots, and tomatoes. Yum! They are also generous with the portions, which is greatly appreciated. Overall, we are fans! read more

This is about the manager who was on duty today (Sunday 21st Dec 2025 between 1 pm and 2 pm ET). A middle aged person with glasses. Incident: Summary: The manager implied I was lying for a $3 chicpea when he knew I spent $27 for food. Consequence is you will lose approx $600 - $750 per year in business. Detail: I ordered a plate of Grilled chicken Kabab and asked if the chicpea comes with it. Manager took the order and confirmed it comes with the order. But when I got the food (in a plastic bag) and took to my seat (in the adjacent food court) it was not there. I went back and asked for it. He replied that he placed it himself in the bag and refused to give me the chicpea. Note that I purchased food of $24+ and Chicpea is about $2+. When I told him that would I lie for that, he refused to give me and told "you already took the bag and I shall not give it to you but you can purchase one more". Essentially he told me that I was a liar. I purchased another one instantly. Even then he did not realize that a person who can instantly pay for it would not take the trouble of lying about it. The other ladies (his own team) were surprised by his behavior. But he was so arrogant that he refused to listen. He continued the position that I who paid approx $27 ($24 + $3 for chichpea) for food was lying about $3 (approx) For Grill Kabab management : I have been regular to that shop for 10 years. We trypically order 2 chicken Kabab plate for 3 of us. As my daughter already had her lunch today, we ordered one. So say $40 per trip. Even if I assume we make 8 trips / year it is $320 / year. You will lose that $320 from now on. There is a Shwarma joint, a Chowrastha, a Philly Cheesesteak who will now have my business. With my sphere of influence (my friends) it will probably be in tune of $600 - $750 per year. So due to the judgment and behavior of your manager you will save $3 and lose $600 - $750 every year. You decide what you will do. For others: Although I have never done it before today, I suggest do not trust the person and check in detail what you have in the packet. The person is a liar or incompetent arrogant or both. Note: Beyond this Grill Kabab I visit the one in Herndon and one in Tysons corner mall. read more

Good is good! Too bad they are missing less expensive options; minimal older is $15 Even a Gyro salad comes with flat bread (defects the purpose of ordering a salad...), which is a delicious bread! read more

It is simply one of my favorite kabob places in VA... I don't understand the people who give it a lower rating because the employees don't smile... you try working at a mall slaving over a hot grille while people complain daily... Just based on food quantity and quality... it's hard to find better. They give you so much rice and meat that my wife and I often can feed ourselves and our little girl with the two meat platter (chicken and beef)... all their meats are delicious... can't go wrong... The secret is the hot sauce... you have to ask for it! It is absolutely ESSENTIAL! It's tangy and spicy and when mixed together with the white sauce... it is absolutely worth the trip to Dulles Towncenter! They are generous with their rice and make the bread fresh on the order... read more

I took a few days to write this review because I wanted to be kind and also honest. It pains me to give this place three stars but they have to ensure their customers are safe. I came here last week with my boyfriend to do a little shopping and grab a bite to eat. I ordered the chicken kebab and while I'm waiting for the food to be cooked I noticed the cashier is such a multiple surfaces without changing her gloves. Since it wasn't busy she was feeling containers with salad. My first issue is that the salad is now at room temperature instead of being cold. There were dozens of boxes stacked up. There's no way they were going to serve that many customers anytime soon. Once I noticed she didn't change her gloves I brought it to the managers attention and he personally made my plate and had a conversation with her. She apparently is new and immediately changed her gloves and apologized. My only issue is that if I wasn't standing right there to see it my food would have been contaminated. I just got sick a few weeks ago so I'm very cautious. I would return because the food was DELICIOUS! It was enough for 2 meals for me. And the manager was very apologetic. I just want us all to be safe. read more

Horrible service. Manager started cursing at me saying f**k you and f**k off after requesting a refund due to my order not being ready after placing online. Manger did not want to give me his info nor his business card. Once I started recording he started to hide in the back and stopped acting ignorant towards me. Very unprofessional for a "manager". read more

Grill Kabob - Manager. Calling me names and telling me F**k you and F**k off - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Hands down this is the place to eat when you're in the Dulles Town Center Food Court. The chicken kabob is my go-to when I need food fuel (protein & carbs). Their chicken is flavorful, tender, juicy on a huge portion of rice, side salad (love the carrots for crunch), naan bread (warm and authentic), chickpeas, and side sauces. read more

Grill Kabob - Chicken kabob (to-go) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Good quality food even during the pandemic. The chicken kabobs were tender and juicy not dry or bland! The sides (chickpeas and rice were cooked nicely). At a different kabob place the chickpeas served were undercooked and watered down. This sauce was savory and cooked thoroughly. I love the white and spicy green sauce! They gave alooooottttt of rice lol Overall amazing food, we will definitely be returning! read more

The falafel is banging! Very good, one of the best I've had in the area. I can't speak to the meat dishes, but they look and smell amazing. The sides are pretty good too, and of course you get an assload of rice. The employees seem a little smug and off-putting, but honestly they're working at a mall food court, so what do you expect? Way better food (at way higher prices) than you would think to get at a mall food court, so take it as you will. I'll definitely continue to come back from time to time for the falafel. read more

Everytime they screw up my order. I have not been here in months but I was with family and decided to give them one last chance. Customer service is no good. I said I would never come to this kabob place again. I ordered 4 orders I received 3. Everytime its something different. Evan the manager was rude. The food was not even good this time. It just keeps getting worse. read more

I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews against this place - I actually really enjoy the kabob here and consider it one of the best Afghan kabob restaurants. The chicken kabob and the beef koobeedah are both quite juicy and full of flavor. And the sides have always been yummy. I've always received a warm welcome and good customer service - I mean yeah, the customer service isn't "amazing" but it's also a food court, so...yea...adjust your expectations accordingly. read more

Yummy! Chicken kabob is perfectly tender and full of flavor. The chickpea side is so tasty. Great place to stop by and eat when at this mall. read more

Robert G., right on bro! They are a-holes behind the counter. Their kabobs aren't all that compared to other Grill Kabob locations. And you know what, the cashier dude (the short, light-skinned Afghan) is the rudest, slowest, disrespectful and most unappreciative a-hole of them all. read more

Very rude and disrespectful staff. I went there today and wanted to order food. I ask d a guy about the food. He was offended and had an attitude. Wouldn't answer my questions. This is not Afghan Food or an Afghan restaurant. This is a Pakistani restaurant operated by bunch of rude staff. If you are looking for a decent Kabob place there are plenty other options in town. Stay away from this place. read more

This has been my favorite place since 2010. They make the food in front of you! It is very so much fresh. For around 13 bucks, you get all the food ( in the picture). The bread in the picture is fresh baked. The food not only delicious but also so clean and healthy. They never changed since then ! The same good & healthy food for the same good price! Will stop by every time I visit Virginia! Good job, Grill Kabob! read more

If you want quantity versus quality, you've found the right place. I ordered a Gyro platter and the meat was dry like jerky. No amount of sauce could make it edible. I'm feeling disgusted with the food and for throwing away my money. read more

Grill Kabob - Gyro Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

They have one of the best ground chicken kabobs in the NoVA area. I also like their lamb kabob, although sometimes it can be a bit chewy. Love their white and spiced rice combo. They make their bread fresh but need to improve that a bit, as it gets kinda crisp within 5-10 minutes. The prices have been going up but the quality has remained. read more

My favorite kabob place. I've only seen this particular kabob place at malls (here, tysons mall and montgomery mall) and all three are consistent with their flavors! wear your fat pants when eating this. The portions are huge. Each meal comes with rice and a small side salad. The bread is so good especially when dipped into the yogurt sauce. I always have the chicken, it is always seasoned and cooked so tender. The kabobs are cooked to order so be prepared to wait a few minutes. They also have hot foods to choose from but i never had the chance to try them yet. read more

Amazing! Kofta is outstanding! Chicken is super tender.. just be patient until food is done and you'll enjoy so much! Outstanding portions and delicious finish! read more

This was soo good!! I didn't realize they make everything fresh right in front of you! It takes a bit of time but I just walked around the mall for a bit. It was a lot of food, I ended up taking some home. Also I tried a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich for the first time and it was almost yucky in comparison-- real food vs fast food. This might be my go to kabob place now, as I can eat out while not really having to interact with anyone lol. read more

Grill Kabob - Chicken kabob... the naan/pita was baked fresh and the size of the paper bag-- big and the perfect amount for all the chicken! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Food is always good. I love the chicken kabob platter; the rice is always nice and fluffy and the naan is perfectly cooked with the tiniest bit of char. I could probably drink the white sauce by the gallon. My husband loves gyros and this place always gets high marks. However the service is poor; the cashiers are so unfriendly and never smile. They should be so proud and happy that they get to serve that delicious food. I don't purchase drinks here, I go to the convenience store nearby. Too much to ask the cashiers if they offer free refills since they are already so quick to dismiss you once you've paid and picked up your food. Pretty pricey for a mall food court where you have to eat your meal surrounded by dozens of loud, messy people who don't bother to clean up after themselves. read more

Best chicken kabobs around! I love the chicken kabob salad. The pita bread is great too. 4 stars instead of 5 because it is a bit pricey and takes a long time read more

Grill Kabob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Food is average to good, but not worth the price. 16.99 for a lamb kabob platter? The price point doesn't make this a viable option for either lunch or dinner. read more

They is very rude at this place shouldn't be in a public place the staff is very disrespectful I didn't even eat the food if your black the is rude to you read more

This place is at the food court inside the mall. The food is actually pretty good. They do not cook your food until you order it, which for a kabob can take about 10-15 min depending on what you order, so make sure you have time to wait. It comes with a good size portion of rice, salad and bread though. With a drink it was around $15, but they do give you a lot of food. read more

A mall resturant, but I've digressed. This place is awesome. If you can't dine next to screaming children, get take out. The place is also too close to the Ben & Jerry's, so if ice cream isn't in the plan, take out for you, as well. They do more with chicken here than I could ever imagine doing at home, and puts Moby Dick's to shame. Huge portions (you could share if you're not starving), get an extra piece of bread, you'll want it. You can also snag a beer from the hot dog place next door...can't beat that! They do accept phone in for take out, but sometimes it's hard to hear the person on the phone. Better off to stop in and place an order and wait the 10 or so minutes for fresh, steaming hot food (and the so yummy bread that comes along with it). Bonus for service and extra sauce if the Grandma of the group is behind the counter- she's always extra giving. 5 Stars if I didn't have to walk through JC Penney's to get there....(or any other part of the mall...). read more

This is a pretty decent food court option if you're in the Dulles Town Center Mall. Though, it's a bit more in price and wait time than the typical fast food places in the mall, the food here is cooked to order and doesn't weigh you down with fried greasiness. I tried the chicken kabob and a vegetable samosa. The meals come with huge offerings of rice. With the chicken kabob, I received a huge heap of white basmati rice and a heap of cinnamon-spiced rice. It's really too much rice for one person to eat in one seating, so it seemed wasteful. There's a small salad of iceberg lettuce, a tomato slice, and cucumber slice topped off with creamy dressing that seems almost like ranch. The chicken was cooked well with some char on it for that smoky flavor. It was surprisingly tender and moist. I only wished they offered some sumac or a fresh herb laced yogurt sauce with it. The kabob was served with the salad dressing sauce that is like ranch, but is missing that ranch dressing tang. The vegetable samosa was a bit on the greasy fried side, but otherwise, not bad. It's one typical that you would get at an Indian restaurant, stuffed with spiced potatoes and green peas. The bread was nice, but I would have preferred it to be warm. read more

Grill Kabob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Very disappointed. Gyro met is undercooked and feel like puking for the first time from their food. Very disgusting not sure what happened

This is a kabob place in the food court of the Dulles Town Center Mall. It is my favorite place to each while my wife is shopping at the mall but unfortunately there's nothing better at this food court! It is quite good but not cheap for fast food. There is always a long wait and a good crowd waiting for food. The owner also operates the same restaurant in the Tysons mall and another in Sterling called Cherry Blossom which has a nice decor and a good buffet for the same price or lower. The food here is very tasty with a decent portion size but be ready to shell out for fast food. If you are in the mall and need a quick bite at a fast food for cheap, this may not be the place. If you want some tasty kabob, especially the ground chicken kabob, you will like this one! read more

Great Kabobs that are juicy and tasty...made right in front of you on the grill , freshly made bread that smells and taste really good. I also liked the sides of chickpea and yogurt. read more

Over the years, I have been to this place over a dozen times. Initially, the food was good, prices were reasonable, portions were great. Last year, I went there a couple of times and was surprised by lack of quality. It has been slowly deteriorating. Today, I decided to give it another chance and it was a big mistake. It wasn't going to be our first choice but the kids were hungry, a couple of other restaurants were already closed (pandemic) and there wasn't a big crowd. There were three men working and trying to get a couple of orders out before ours. The problem became apparent when I noticed how they would put the skewers on the grill while they were performing other tasks. In this process, no one was "actively" monitoring or cooking the food. My heart was sinking just watching everything getting burned. It wasn't one order or two orders. It was every order! When I finally got my food (after 25 minutes of watching this), sure enough, everything was overcooked and burnt. Never again. read more

Overpriced and nothing special. It's food court food. $20 for steak and chicken kabobs and a bottle of water. I can get the same meal at Moby Dick's for $17. The staff isn't exactly friendly either. No one looks happy to be there. read more

This place does not disappoint. They give you lots of food and the chicken kabobs are so tender and juicy that I can eat there all day. This location serves the chick peas in some kind of awesome sauce that I couldn't get enough of. The bread is also great. The only bad part about this place is that it takes forever to get your order. Also, if lots of people are around, it gets to be a cluster. You can't really hear if your number is being called. They should put up a monitor to show which orders are up. With all this technology around, they could do this for pretty cheap. Also, you have to ask for the green sauce. I'm not sure why that just doesn't come by default. I also paid 12 bucks for the kabob platter. That's pushing it a little. read more
