    Last weekend we felt like kabob but didn't want to go indoors at the Grill Kabob ay Dules Town Center so drove to the Herndon location which is behind Capital One. Ordered and waited. Was disappointed that a customer who was known to the cashier came in without a mask while rest of us had on. Ordered chicken kobeeda and chickpeas (u can't say chole which is the South Asian word for chickpeas in Latin America) Took back home after wiping containers. Food was tasty

    I can't tell if this Grill Kabob is related to the Grill Kabobs you find inside of Tyson's Corner mall or Dulles Town Center, but they're pretty good. I usually go here or Moby Dick, when I am on a time crunch. Otherwise, I am usually hitting up Charcoal Kabob off of Elden Street, but that place gets so packed the wait time can creep up to 10-15 minutes. A drawback to this place would be the limited number of tables and seating. The unlimited sauce squeeze bottles keeps this kabob establishment at the A-okay level.

    Curry Combo $7.99 - choice of three side items with salad and a huge piece of naan.

    Time for an up-to-date review of Grill Kabob, since many of the reviews are at least 3 months to 3 years old from today. I actually really enjoyed my lunch here, and had zero expectations upon arrival, because kabob places are a dime a dozen in the area, right? Slightly different means to the same end, order at a counter, wait for your number to be called, pick up your tray brimming with whatever chicken/kabob/falafel magic you have ordered. Sit, smother with sauces, enjoy. At Grill Kabob, two words: GREEN SAUCE. I've never had anything like it at any other kabob shops. There's a bottle of this magical concoction on every table, and it's pleasantly spicy and flavorful, so Spice Fiend approves. There's also a bottle of what would appear to be a yogurt-style white sauce, but to me, it tastes far too mayonnaise-y or ranch dressing-y to be a contender for best yogurt sauce. You've got your typical selection of chicken and beef kabobs, pictorial menus if you don't know the difference between kibbe and kafta and kabob, or you could just wise up and order their $8 lunch platter special. Served with a veritable mountain of fluffy rice, choose 3 side items from their counter display, and walk away happy. I opted for the chicken curry (mix of tender white/dark meat in a curry sauce), chick peas (in a traditional, if slightly oily, sauce), and the coup d'etat, the spinach! Of course, whatever you order is served with a fresh piece of gooey yet crispy bread so big and yet so delicious you want to eat it all, yet you'll want to chastise yourself for such a gratuitous carb-fest. But it's SO GOOD! Bottled drinks, fountain drinks, counter service, don't expect to be delighted or engaged in conversation by the staff and line chefs, but that's not what you come to a place like Grill Kabob for anyway, right?

    What can I say, I likes my sauce

    Good kabobs, and they have what I consider the second best spicy kabob sauce in the area (behind Reston Kabob). And they leave bottles of them out on the tables for you to use as much or as little as you like. Portions are generous unlike some places (Midtown Kabob I'm looking at YOU) and prices average. They serve the usual kabobs, gyros, curried vegetables and even falafel. If you get your food to go I notice they put your bread in a separate paper bag, which I thought a nice touch. Some places just throw your bread in the plastic bag on top of the styrofoam container, and others actually fold the bread and put it inside with the rest of your food. I've found the added benefit of the paper bag is the steam from the hot bread actually keeps your bread soft and chewy. Not sure if this was intentional but I like it. As has been pointed out in previous reviews, parking can be a hassle during peak lunch hours but otherwise I haven't had any problems finding a spot nearby. Interior has always been clean when I've come by but it did get a bit smoky inside from the grill on my last visit. They have a few outdoor tables which is nice.

    Lamb kabob platter
    Maddy L.

    This area gets super packed for lunch and parking was hectic but I ended up finding a spot right in the front, luckily. There's also minimal seating outside and inside. You walk up, order, they call your number, then you just pick it up. The prices are a little higher than most kabob places I've been to. I normally get the lamb and chicken combo at the kabob places I go to, but I wasn't willing to pay an extra $5 for that here. So I opted just for the lamb kabob which was delicious. The seasoning is great and I tried my friends chicken which was really good as well. They give you a ton of balsmati rice. I wish they offered tzatziki sauce or something flavorful because the sauces on the table weren't great. It isn't bad so I'd probably go when I'm in the area but other than that, I'll find something closer.

    #2 Chicken Kabob
    Cathy P.

    Came here for lunch. Had the chicken kabob. Order was ready in 10 minutes and it was really moist and delicious. I don't like dry chicken and this was not dry at all. I loved it. I didn't give 5 stars due to the limited seating and the lack of customer service. In truth, I didn't mind the lack smiles. They were fast and I know dealing with the public can be difficult. They more then make up for it in the quality of food. Excellent!

I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.

The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

From my experience, I would recommend ordering in person because they lost our online order one time and, if you order online, you can't choose your own combinations of kabobs and/or proteins (I personally like ordering the falafel and gyros). Food Ordered: * worth trying - [Salad*]: I usually like to order the salad base. Out of the kabobs and proteins I've tried, I would recommend the beef kobeeda, falafel, and gyros proteins. I have also tried the veggie kabob, which isn't bad, but not as good as the aforementioned proteins, considering it's only grilled vegetables. I liked the flavor of the chickpeas but I prefer a more melt-in-your-mouth texture in my chickpeas like the ones at Charcoal Kabob. The chickpeas at Reston Kabob were a smidge gritty. Also, I have to highlight the sauces that come with the meal; both the green sauce and the white sauce have the perfect amount of acidity with the green sauce being bright and herbaceous and the white sauce being creamy and not too yogurt forward. My husband and I really like the white sauce here, so much so that we bought a bottle of it recently haha. - [Samosa*]: I don't think I've ever had a bad samosa and this tastes like your typical samosa. - [Baklava]: I tried the one with pistachios and the one with walnuts. Comparatively, I liked the one with walnuts more because the pistachios tasted a bit off to me and the pistachio flavor was a lot stronger versus the milder flavor of the walnuts. The only reason I'm hesitant to recommend it is because I thought it was soaked in too much syrup, making it a bit too sweet for my preference. As a heads up, each order of baklava comes with four small pieces. Would I go back?: Most definitely!
