    24. Chicken Shawarma
    Clarence B.

    Ordered a gyro and chicken shawarma, with a side of sambosas at the counter. Guy who took my order was efficient but not chatty. All dishes were cooked to order, arrived hot and were bagged to go. When I got home we enjoyed the sambosas especially and were pleasantly surprised by the collection of spices blended in the potato pastry. The gyro and shawarma were fine, but we hoped for more and diverse vegetables in the sandwich although the meat and the rest of the sandwiches as presented were acceptable.

    This is my go-to spot for Afghan food! Their dumplings (mantu and awshak) are the best I've ever had at a restaurant. They also cook their lamb very well! Their food tastes home made, and their service is great, making you feel right at home! Overall, I highly recommend trying Grill Kabob Express if you're craving authentic Afghan food!

    It's a gem. They have the BEST kabobs! We tried lots of Kabob restaurants in the area. This place is our favorite! Food is automatically ( in our humble opinion) fresh and delicious! Portion, price, service and quality is very great! Their bread is super good! Can't say enough about their food!

    @grillkabobexpressva Great and tasty food served up by a lovely family in Fairfax that's been operating for over 10 years! I don't know how I've never had Mantoo's before because they were phenomenal. Mantoo: STAR of the show, these dumplings were not only so pretty but SO tasty and probably my new obsession. Chicken tikka kabob: Cooked well, a classic and my usual go-to. Chicken & beef koobidah combo: Another classic but the seasoning on these were SO flavourful. The sides: bread, rice, chickpeas, chanti & white sauce were all sooooo good and paired perfectly with the entrées. Definitely worth a visit and I know I'll be going back next time I'm in that area! - insta @ SpicyAivy

    Came here today for my lunch. It's good place to eat lunch. Taste was great and service was okay. This is my favorite kebab place.

    My regular kabob joint. They have a bunch of delicious options and also fresh daily sides. I ordered the super deluxe meal $21.95, which has a skewer if each meat, lamb, chicken, steak and kobidah. It also comes with salad and side of choice of veges and we chose the chickpeas. The amount on Deluxe is definitely enough for 2-3 people. I also ordered kids chicken meal with fries for the little one. They are super friendly and provide quality Afghan and halal kabobs.

    I ordered 4 platters for an event on a Sunday. The restaurant doesn't officially cater on Sundays so they combined the platters into a family style format. The lamb and chicken were excellent. The beef kubideh was a bit dry, which is unfortunate because it is usually my favorite. The Afghan bread was half delicious and half tough and overly chewy. This shop has really well done green and white sauces (which can be hard to find).

    I've done delivery several times here and came in once in person for carry out. You really like the kubideh chicken and beef (minced meat with spices). The rice is good and so is the flatbread. We usually have leftovers. the place itself is a little bit of a hole in the wall. There are a few people eating in and it's more of a order at the front and self-serve.

    Pretty good as afghan food. Nothing special but not bad not either. Mantu was good. Side dishes could be bigger and with more spice

I wasn't a fan of chopt and other salad places so I was hesitant but I'm glad I tried this place out. This is my new go to place. I called because I couldn't find them on DoorDash and one of the workers was so kind to help me out and send me a link herself. I ordered THE RANCHER. And wow. Doesn't taste nasty at all haha it's so good it can definitely pass as a happy good meal. I plan on trying their quinoa bowl next. Hope it's just as good. The price is not cheap and not totally expensive so:T not bad. Haven't been to the store but when I'm in Chantilly I plan on stopping by with friends and cousins.

    Visited this location a couple days ago after hearing about it and here is my take;…read more They have a running promotion in which upon downloading the app, you'd get an "Everything protein bowl" when you purchase a drink. The bowl which consists of Cajun shrimp, salmon, rockfish and grilled chicken served over white rice, beans, diced tomato, chili mix and chopped parsley. Served with a side of our Roasted Tomatillo which is ABSOLUTELY delicious. Thing is, there was literally one piece of Salmon and no Rockfish and decent portions of everything else. Now, when I address this to the manager "Daniel" I was quite repulsed by his response and demeanor which was very off-putting, stating that I am getting it for free where I correct him by stating that it's not "free" I had to purchase a drink, and it's a promotion your company runs, and if you're going to skimp the portions and have a shitty, pompous, and degrading response, then why run that kind of promotion at all ?! Left my meal right the and there and left. Safe to say that I will never step foot here again, and to everyone else, beware of Daniel.
