    This is a cute little restaurant tucked away behind Chick Fila, a little sterile in decor and design, more like a cafeteria vibe. The service is self-serve, order upfront or on an electronic kiosk. I had gotten a beef kabob. Honestly it was a bit too much to work for with the meat, not as tender or juicy as I would've liked for hoped for. Flavor was good/decent could've used a bit more. The sauce was a "spicy" green sauce but it didn't really have any kick at all and could've been more spicy. The rice was normal, however, there was some rice that was overcooked or stale? But overall it's rice, pretty standard. The naan was good, fluffy and crunchy. Overall, disappointed in the meat texture and lack of tenderness but sauce and carbs were good! 2.5/5 Might come back to try the chicken but was scared cause it was only white meat/chicken breast meat.

    Gyro platter.  Lots of meat and delicious.

    Another visit tonight. The chicken is so juicy and tender. Yum! And the portion size of the beef and chicken combo - I had to take some home. I will say that the hummus and bread ($4.99) is not great. The bread is fresh, but the hummus has very little flavor. Disappointing hummus. I won't get it again.

    Best Kabob restaurant ever, the meat is nice and tender with that nice grilled taste as well, love the rice and salad that comes along with your meal. Service is excellent and you won't be disappointed. This place is nice a cozy with a with a lot of seating for families and friend.

    The portions are huge and delicious. The bread is also the size of a full plate not halved like in some places. The spices, sauce and flavor were on point. The place is clean and new and I would not have known about it but thanks for a Yelp search close to were I was it popped up and I'm so glad it did. Nice and light and bright and plenty of parking. Service also excellent. We will be back!

    Chicken and lamb combo!

    Everything was delicious! There are several locations throughout the DC area but this one has got to be the freshest. The chicken and lamb both were really juicy!

    The chicken was juicy, the kobeeda has the ideal firm texture I like in this type of kabob while still juicy and fragrant with spices. The salad remained fresh through the ride home. The green sauce is a little bit too tart for me so I used it in moderation. The white sauce, a yogurt based sauce with herbs and spices, was delicious! The bread was fresh. The chickpea stew served on the side was my favorite part! The chickpeas were cooked perfectly where it was just soft enough t but not mushy.

    Chicken and Beef Kabob. Delicious. Make sure you try the green chutney sauce on the beef.
    Sean K.

    Wow. Food is absolutely delicious. Had the chicken and beef kabob combination. It included 2 types of rice, a super fresh salad, a chick peas side and 2 sauces - a tahini type sauce and a phenomenal green chutney sauce. The chicken is outstanding. Not a typical Lebanese style flavor, but just absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked. Beef kabobs also excellent especially with the green chutney sauce which is slightly spicy. Unlike anything I've had before. The restaurant appears to be new... spotlessly clean, and the staff were fast and friendly. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.

    It's always a good thing when a chain/franchise/business has the same taste across all of its locations. GK opened 1 right off the highway here. The sauces, chicken, and rice were all on point (they all taste like the Tysons location). 4.5 Stars- Service was a tad on the slow side on a weekday lunch: they got my friends gyro order right away, but the chicken kabob took about 15-20 min to get, and I get it, they just opened, but then why was one meat so much quicker than the other?

    The menu is displayed on a beautiful tile wall.

    What do you do if you are not in the mood for burgers or pizza? What if you don't feel like cooking and it is a Sunday night? You head on over to Grill Kabob. I had my fingers and toes crossed that they would still be open, at 7 pm on a Sunday evening. I drove into the shopping center and low and behold, Grill Kabob was open and packed full of customers. It is new, clean, and attractive. I waited in line and saw the two employees in the back hustling to serve the crowded restaurant. I love the flavor of grilled chicken and the chicken kabobs were moist and tender. The grilled flavor made it taste delicious. The chicken comes on a huge bed of tasty rice. There is a fresh salad and chickpeas in a curry sauce. I was so satisfied and full. You also get freshly made naan with your order. I also ordered hummus, as an appetizer. It was okay, nothing special. I prefer a thicker hummus with more flavor of a tzadiki-garlic taste. I loved my meal. It was really cooked well and generous portions. I still have some rice and chicken for tonight. I did have to wait awhile....but, it was worth the wait. The service was excellent and next time, I am going to try the lamb combination platter. Thanks Grill Kabob, a healthy alternative packed with great taste.

While I thought the menu was limited, it does the job. I wanted Branzino and had that in my mind the whole day but was disappointed that it wasn't on the menu. Welp, y'all know I love a burger. Service was fantastic! Ambiance feels like stepping into a French‑Mediterranean boutique café that someone elevated into a luxury dining room.

It's a pretty small spot with a simple menu -- mainly lamb and chicken gyros and bowls. I vaguely remember trying a bowl before, so this time I went with the gyro and ordered extra lamb and extra sauce. I assumed the sauce was going to be traditional tzatziki, but they actually make their own sauces and I honestly wasn't very impressed by them. To their credit and great service, they definitely did not skimp on the meat because they loaded the gyro up, but honestly I probably could've gone without the extra lamb. The whole thing ended up being super messy and hard to hold together, to the point where I eventually just ate it with a fork. Overall, the taste was just a miss for me and didn't satisfy the authentic gyro craving I was hoping for. I wanted to enjoy it way more than I actually did, but I'll probably pass on coming back.

Beautiful tiles, love the black-and-white, crisp,…read moreclean look, and new booths -- though I didn't try sitting in one yet, didn't think to as I was on a mission to get to all the Israeli restaurants around for and on Israel Independence Day, ha ha! (And yes! I succeeded!) The benches are a light, bright-looking wood. There are also regular tables for those who prefer that .... It's amazing how much spacious seating is packed into this little place! I wish the outside reflected the new, light beauty but I guess the treasure is only to be found by those who venture in .... As an Israeli-in-America, I appreciate the selection of Israeli drinks in the cooler, and of course the national snack of falafel! Some say they don't put fries in the pitas -- well, yeah! That's true! If you don't ask, you don't receive! I ask! I receive! I do sometimes find the sandwiches to be kind of messy, so I try to sometimes get less various salads and pickles and such so it's not completely overflowing -- because this place is GENEROUS! Of course, if you're not used to kosher food, you'll probably not understand that it does cost more because for one thing (out of many!), there has to always be an 'extra' person called a mashgiach (supervisor in Hebrew) who oversees everything to make sure it's all, well, kosher! Kosher meat is more expensive, too. And yeah, meat doesn't come with dairy! So that is not available. I heard someone asking if they had a cheeseburger and had to work to not crack up about it! I LOVE the grilled eggplant bits you can get put in -- they're special, not in the regular line up, right there at the end -- because not only do they add so much flavour and texture with so little bulk, but eggplant is one of those things I usually cannot eat because it hurts my oh-so-sensitive tongue, but this place makes it per-fect-ly, mmm ... ! So delicious! I enjoy both purple and green cabbage and carrots, but I don't like the flavour of the onions. That makes me sad, because I LOVE onions, but these ones have something on them that I don't like (looks like it's sumac -- which is ironic, because that's something that I normally love and use all the time!) and I end up picking out when I sometimes forget or get hopeful and just get them again anyway .... Actually, the onions are one of the few condiments here I do not like! The pickled beets are great -- and of course, great for your liver! They are cleansing, nutritious, and boost your Russian-ness, to boot! Or your Russian Jewishness, anyway .... I know that eating them makes my grandmother proud! The benefits of eating here are not and are also not like ones you can attain in just any regular restaurant, and it's here for people who want this kind of thing. It literally is a cornerstone, being on the corner and providing the things certain of us need -- Israeliness, Jewishness, kosherness, etc. It's too bad it suffers from bad reviews by people who don't understand or care. By the way, the work that goes into making all these salad items fresh every day is, let's just say, a LOT! I almost always get the falafel -- I used to get a platter, but it was too much for a meal so I switched back to the classic pita version and that's a perfect amount for me for a meal, plus I feel it's better for the environment because it comes packaged minimally in a little parchment paper rather than a recyclable aluminum plate with a non-recyclable aluminum-and-paper top. Truth be told, I could have trouble finishing writing this review because thinking of Oh Mama Grills' falafel is making me so hungry! I am really getting in the mood for some right now! Other things I eat from here regularly (and have for years): Israeli salad Moroccan (vegetarian) cigars Rice Other things I know are great by way of seeing the delight on my eating partner's face while consuming: Okay, I so I don't remember, but various meat things! Chicken, I think .... Things I don't love from Oh Mama Grill: Bean soup -- didn't have enough flavour for me .... Sabich. I dunno. Just didn't love it! It's hard to top falafel, in my opinion -- well, this falafel from this place, that is -- so I don't feel the need to explore the menu very much .... There aren't a whole lot of places (if any!) that offer such a variety of salads, pickles, and sauces! As an absolute pickle-lover who finds pickles and not just that but a variety of pickles a MUST for my diet, this place has it going on like no other! Update! Tried sitting on a bench at a booth! It's pretty hard, not super-comfortable, but doable -- however, a harder seat is better for your posture and health long-term! The falafel pita with toppings aplenty is so delicious, I am craving one right now ... and, in case you've ever tried some of the marinated types of vegetables here and found them too sour, I did too! Now, that is fixed. They are no longer so sour, and are therefore much more eminently edible! My eating partner agrees.

    Being a vegan, there is plenty to select from to include in my falafal sandwich such as hummus,…read moreeggplant pieces, salads, fries, different veggies, etc. Their policy is to first pay at the register, order there, then join the line at the buffet where servers behind the counter will make the sandwich, dishes or whatever you select.
