I eat here regularly and food is very authentic and good. The rice has really good flavor and the kabobs are also very delicious. I do have a bit of issue with the kobideh kabob, a little chewy and tuff but the rest of the food has always been very good. Today I had the deluxe kabob and side of eggplant togo. Anytime I crave authentic afghan food, this is my goto place. read more

Delicious chicken kabob, great flavor! The bread is the most delicious I've tasted at a kabob restaurant. Side dishes are tasty too. Will definitely be back when I visit my daughter at Mason! read more

Yes, it's on the corner Solid kabob Solid naan Eggplant side is the best Friendly staff read more

Hands down my favorite kabob place! The interior might not be perfect for a romantic date ;) but the food and service are outstanding!! It used to be our regular Friday night "dinner with friends" place, but we moved out of the area. Miss this food! read more

Excellent food. We ordered the chicken bone in combo and the flavor was great. Don't forget to get the spinach dish as side. Absolutely scrumptious read more

Don't order to-go. The cheap owner will give you tiny pieces of meat because he knows you won't look at the food until you get home. I ordered a lamb and chicken combo with a coke for $17.50 after tax. Very insulting to be honest. read more

This place must be under new Management, The quality has dropped off significantly, and the customer service is HORRIBLE. Save your money and find another place to satisfy your hunger. The quality has drastically depreciated in a negative way. Horrible service. read more

This place makes authentic afghan food and their meat is sooo juicy! Definitely a must try spot and worth the price. So much food on one plate! This place changed since their owner changed, for the better. read more

Wow! This place is delicious and I can't believe I'm just finding it out now. I love that they have bone in chicken kabob. The flavors are great and the portions are huge. I always have to take my left overs to go. My go to side dishes are the spinach and salad. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're craving kabob. It's so worth it. read more

Kabob Corner - So gooood!!! - Afghan Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I've been coming here for a while and I love their bone-in chicken, bread, and the green sauce. However, these guys are becoming cheap and cheaper by the day! I mean who or what Kabob restaurant charges you for a tiny container of green sauce??? None that know of...but you must pay .50 cents, which is not a huge deal but as a matter of principle and to prove my point. One evening, I also attempted to call like 4-5 times to place an order so that I may pick it up. Yes, I was calling 20-25 minutes before closing but my goodness...no one would pick up the phone. I'm assuming they probably didn't want to take a last order and go home! Not good for business and regulars such as myself. I'm going to continue to eat my favorite bone-in here... Finally, the end of coming to this place from this moment. I just walked out because I was informed that they didn't have the bone-in chicken; the only item I order and have been ordering ever since the inception of this place. They also charged my card $14.25 before checking and was given a refund but now I must wait to receive it. I also had to give the cashier a lecture on a simply damn request that he just could not understand!!! I asked for my chicken to be put on top of the bread, not in the plate! It took me about 3 minutes to keep explaining this very simple request! Another surprise were the new prices! It's $12.25 for an order of chicken kabobs with tax it's $14.25. Wow! Not ever returning here again and I suggest checking other places in the area that are much reasonable and professional. Downgrading to one star, sorry. read more

Went to this place over the weekend and couldn't stop going for the last 3 days. The chicken kabob was out of this world. I have eaten many places but this one took the gold. Give this place a try and you will know what I mean. read more

Ordered this morning, I was probably the first or one of the first orders of the day. Not only was my food extremely bland but it seems I have some sort of food poisoning from this! Will never return, what a waste of $20! read more

Really good food and good service! I would have given 5 stars but the place is too dirty , a spider was taking a walk on my food . The floors are very dirty , dusty and full of spider webs . Maybe next time I go here I won't eat there !! read more

Kabob Corner - Afghan Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Love this place. A bit pricey for what you get but the food is excellent. Make sure to eat the bread quickly as it is so soft and crusty and chewy right when it comes out of the oven but quickly gets tough. The chicken is excellent and the sides are very good as well. I loke the meatball and eggplant sides. read more

This is my favorite place for authentic Afghan food. What makes it even better is the amazing quality of service. The owners here were so friendly to me and my friend and I couldn't help but to write the review while I'm still in the restaurant. Definitely come here for both services, amazing food and amazing people. I won't be putting my money anywhere else when it comes to traditional afghan food. read more

Just made an online order for like 10 people for my workplace and they got our entire order PERFECT! I was in a rush and didn't have time to check the orders but they were all perfect. The food was delicious, the lady who helped me was really nice and thorough. She did NOT charge me for the white sauce as one of the review stated he must've just asked for extra sauce. The chickpeas were good, the naan was freshly made, and everything was grilled to perfection. I would've personally liked the green sauce to be a bit more spicy but I understand some people can't handle the heat. Overall, very happy with my experience (as I have always been, I've been coming here for years) but this was the first time I was super impressed with the service just because of the complicated and vast nature of our order. Will definitely return again for lunch! read more

Tom N has been raving about this place for quite some time now, so I decided to indulge him after he endured nasty public transportation and the crowded streets of NYC to appease me. Kabob Corner certainly lived up to its reputation and proved to be as much of an indulgence for me as it was for him. The kabobs here really need no introduction, as every other reviewer will tell you how awesome the assorted meats are. Let me instead direct your attention to some meatless treats. The aushak, or pasta dumplings, despite being submerged in yogurt sauce, was excellent. Not sure what others look for, but I want my dumplings thin-skinned, plump, and identically-shaped. These leek-filled morsels met and even exceeded all my requirements. I could easily devour another appetizer portion of those, maybe more. I also tried their tomato-based vegetable curry, which was very flavorful and came in a heaping portion. In general, portions at this joint are extremely generous, and you definitely get bang for your buck. The family-owned business has mostly friendly and helpful staff, aside from this one frumpy-faced woman who almost cost the place a star. Then again, she's easily replaceable while the family recipes are here to stay. I could do without her attitude, but it's a very minor thing that can be ignored. Mr. Tom is a picky eater so when he's this enthusiastic about a place, you know it's something special. read more

Very clean, good decor, wifi. Good sides. Good prices, bigger then average kabob place menu, with a good choice of veggie options for the non meat eaters. Kubideh was tender and great. Nan was right the hell on. Chewy, flaky, great. I hate when its not chewy. Best Kabobs overall I've had since I left the Middle East... read more

The original owner does not seem to work here... Service is terrible, the cashier is rude and played dumb to customer Meat is so salty, unstable food quality. So sad, used to be my number one choice in kabob for 10 years. Really hope the original owner sisters are still in charge. The people they hired does not care about the business. My visit tonight will be my last (October-4-2015), watch the young indian lady, she is super rude!! read more

I've had the food from Kabob Corner twice now and they really do a solid kabob. I've had the K6 - Skewer each of chicken, kubideh and lamb kabob, marinated in herbs and spices, grilled. And the K7 - Tender and juicy marinated lamb chops, grilled. While the K7 was decent, I've had better. I did really enjoy the combo plate the first time I had it. The portions are huge, there will always be leftovers, and the employees/family running the place were friendly. Oh and the meatballs are really good too! read more

Menu is pretty shallow (20 items, maybe less) but what they do, they do well. Good not great Kabob place, portions are decent and the sides are generous. Worth a visit if you enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine. read more

See all

A friend from the office recommended this place and I took her up on her offer to pick something up for me. I ordered online, which was super easy, but didn't give me an option to select my side and that resulted in a guessing game for the people picking up the food. I ordered the beef kubideh wrap and it was pretty lame. The kubideh itself was a little dry and the veggies weren't condusive to the wrap environment. i.e. they were enormous chunks more suitable for a salad as opposed to thinly sliced for a wrap. All in all, it was a very awkward wrap. The accompanying french fries were straight from ore ida, so okay but not great there. Yeah, meh works. I probably won't be back just because there are many other wonderful places for kabob. read more

If you are looking for an excellent experience at a clean modern place with great food. Kabob Corner is it. The staff is friendly and willing to answer all questions about the food. The tandori chicken is good. Tender white meat or bone in thighs both are delicious. The cubideh (ground beef kabob) also is well seasoned and moist. Their specialty really is lamb. You cant go wrong with the lamb bone in Lollipops or the lamb tips. The naan is fresh and delicious and is hands down the best thing in the joint. I also have tried and liked the sambosa (peas, onions, ground beef, in a crispy fried shell). The hummus is fresh and has a nice lemony flavor and amazing texture. The sides could use a little work. The rice is fluffy and has great flavor but the toppings (spinach, pumpkin, chickpeas, meat sauce, and others) sit in a steam tray and all tend to have a "stewed" feel that I am not a fan of. Having said that, the flavor of the sides is not bad, and their quality far surpases the mediocre offerings found at similar specialty meat places (BBQ Joints ect.) The salad is small but excellent with great dressing. If you are looking for quality, fast, delicious Kabob with established NOVA pedigree (the owners are from the same family that runs Corner Kabob in Annandale) in or around Farifax City this is the place. Regardless of my review of the food the proof is in the pudding. Since they opened a few months ago, my family returns at least once a week. Several of my friends and co-workers have also made it a part of their weekly rotation, making a point to return. My father brought leftovers to work, 4 of his coworkers, impressed with the smell agreed to make the trek from arlington on their lunch hour the next day. All 4 now are repeat customers. Everyone I have recommended the place to becomes a repeat customer. read more

Woke up starving (at 9:30pm). With limited options, I hit Kabob Corner. Best decision of my life. Staff are very friendly and warm, even if they are right about to close! I hope no one gets in trouble, but they also slipped me all kinds of extras, like this huge piece of bread, salad and tangy sauces! Ordered K6 Deluxe Kabob, Skewer each of chicken, kubideh and lamb kabob, marinated in herbs and spices, grilled on a skewer over tandoori flame. ($12.95) I got this wonderfully spicy green sauce (I would love to know what's in it, some hints of cilantro maybe?) and a delicious tangy white sauce. I am most impressed by the depth of the flavor and also the delicious piece of home made bread included. I couldn't be happier. Unwrapping this feast was like Christmas over here. On to the main course.. Perfectly seasoned, tender meat, delicious chick pea sides, fresh salad extra and a hearty serving of rice, What more could you ask for? Star for Staying open late to feed the beast. Star for Amazing flavors Star for Value and huge portions Star for Beautiful and considerate staff Star for Tons of extras!! Equals 5 star Kabob Experience, giving Kabob Corner the crown for Fairfax Kabobs. Don't forget, you can leave a tip on your credit card if you don't carry cash -- the staff assured me this was OK :) read more

Kabob Corner - K6 Deluxe Kabob to go ($12.95) Delicious! - Afghan Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This is the best food I have ever had, this place is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The people are so nice and the food is delicious. The food is home cooked and Is a great place to take your family to to have a nice delicious dinner. The inside of the restaurant is very nice but not too fancy, so it makes for a nice home cooked casual meal inside with leather booths that are very comfortable. You definitely must try it out you will not regret it. It is great for all cultures! 5/5 for everything they are my go to place, for REAL food, not this processed stuff you see everywhere. read more

BEST KABOB I'VE HAD IN FAIRFAX. I'm from San Diego, married to an Iraqi. We've been looking for good Kabob in Fairfax since we moved here in 2011. Finally found our spot . The lamb kabob is our favorite, although surprisingly, the chicken kabob is great too. You have to get the eggplant side, i hate eggplant, but theirs is REALLY good with the kabob and bread that comes with the combo. We got take-out one time, prolly wont ever again. You get less food and it's not as good by the time you get home. Other than that, they are friendly, the food is reasonably priced and delicious. read more

Some of the best Afghan food in Northern Va! I'm Afghan and travel often, so this review should mean a lot. Service is excellent! Their staff is extremely nice and genuine, reflecting true Afghan hospitality. Food is great, ordered the bolani as an appetizer and then got the chicken kabob for my main course, which comes with seasoned rice, salad, and tandoori naan. Everything was wonderful and tastes great, very fresh and flavorful. So if you want delicious food, that's similar to a Afghan home cooked meal, do try this place. You could point blindly at their menu and I'm sure you will be happy with whatever you end up ordering! read more

I dated a Iranian woman for a few years, so I was introduced to kabob and other regional dishes through one of their own. Of all of the places I have tried since becoming a homeowner in Fairfax City, this one is the best. No one else comes close. My reasons for this are fivefold: 1) High quality food. Prepared in a way that shows they care. The salad is crisp and not an after thought. The bread is perfect, crisp and doughy. The kabob meat is tender and juicy, never dry. 2) Great selection. Not just kabobs, but also flavorful afghan favorites like quabili palau (brown rice, carrots, raisins, lamb). Usually at least five sides from which to choose. Several desserts including funnel cake! 3) Clean, modern decor. This is not your typical dark, dingy kabob place. There is plenty of lighting and seating, and a big LCD TV for watching a show or football while you wait for your food. 4) Friendly staff and ownership. I'm always greeted with a smile and some conversation. It's never just a transaction. 5) Reasonable price. Kabobs are $7.95 and up. Entries are $8.95 and up. Desserts won't bust your wallet either. When I'm in the mood for this cuisine, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else at this point. I used to go to several places and Kabob Corner has them all beaten. read more

before i left the restaurant i confirmed my order by the menu number. once i got home i noticed it was incorrect, less food quantity that costs less than what i paid for. very disappointed. read more

Ok, I must admit, I tried about 8 other kebab/kabob places in the area before my overwhelming initial opinion proved me right: Kabab Corner is THE place for kabob in Fairfax. I have been a loyal customer for over a year now, every time I order it is SUPER FRESH, SUPER HOT, SUPER CONSISTENT, the bread is ALWAYS amazingly soft yet crisp, thing and honestly, I could make a dinner of the naan and meatballs(offered as a side dish). One reason I love it so much, it reminds me SO much of the PROPER kebab I use to get living in Holland. These folks do a proper gyro, or kebab brodje that KICKS ASS. It is a meal in its self, comes with crinkle cut fries and while the wrap isn't CRAZY OVERSTUFFED with food (it doesn't NEED to be), It is a tandoor fresh naan with the meat of your choice, a WONDERFUL fresh salad mix w/ incredible refreshing dressing, cucumber, tomato, mint and is just delightful! I. LOVE. IT! I am dead serious when I say I get diner from here 3 nights a week: k6(sub dark meat/chicken thighs), meatballs for my side, and if my special ladyfriend is here, then an extra side of rice and extra naan and LIFE IS GOOD, we BOTH have enough for dinner. . . . .but, I do end up craving more, OK SO I'M A PIG! lol. I have had almost everything on the menu and I gotta say, it is ALL really solid! ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE: The advert for Fish n' Chips. . Tilapia is a shit fish. Literally, farm raised tilapias job is to eat the poop of FARM RAISED SEA BASS. It's not that it is just offered here that I speak out against it, I wouldn't get tilapia from ANYWHERE and I wouldn't feed it to a angry raccoon. If you are going to offer , with a NEON SIGN, offer REAL FISH 'N CHIPS! Cod/Haddock and chips. it isn't THAT much more, and to be honest, if it were more a proper fish n' chippy, I would be there another 2 nights a week, lol. This fine family really does a GREAT job with what they do. It is HANDS DOWN, the BEST Kabob in the area, without doubt. If kabab corner was to ever go away, I might just starve to death. . .ok, not to death, but, I would have to SERIOUSLY reconsider my "go to place" for food when I am not feeling like cooking, or the "typical" delivery crap. I LOVE YOU KABOB CORNER! read more

The best kabob place closest to my house! When I don't feel like driving down to Crystal City to go to Kabob Palace, I come to this place. Their meat is so moist and cooked to perfection! read more

Wow . The food here is awesome. Nothing is bad. I had the chicken thigh kabobs with rice. The chicken was supper juicy, and the rice was very flavorful. My family got beef and ground beef. They were very happy campers. No cap, the food here is terrific, and is a must have. read more

Awesome! My boyfriend and I love kabob and this place really impressed us. Everything we tasted was spot on. The chick peas were very flavorful. I especially liked their white sauce. It was better than others I have tasted and was a GREAT compliment to the meal. We will definitely be going back! read more

Kabob Corner - Wow K6 is the bomb! - Afghan Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I love Kabob corner. I generally eat the lamb kabob which comes with rice and the nan bread which is super amazingly delicious! They are quick and friendly. I'm not a big fan of gluten, but that bread is so good I am unable to resist its charms and generally eat most if not all of it! The only reason I am not giving 5 stars this time is the web ordering system on their web site. I have generally called and picked up my food but this time I tried ordering online. On the bright side, I was able to pay in advance so there was no fiddling with credit cards and signatures once I arrived at the restaurant. That said, the order was never passed from the 3rd party to the restaurant so I waited 20 minutes as they put together my order. Apparently, the 3rd party is supposed to call the restaurant to let them know there is an order. I will keep going back again and again. I will just go back to using the phone! read more

We just tried this place for the first time tonight, for take-out. Tried both beef and lamb kabobs. Portions were generous. Rice and bread were very good; we're saving the leftovers of both. But the kabobs were quite disappointing. Meat was overcooked to death: no meat flavor, tough, dry. But well-seasoned! Also (I guess in the Afghan tradition?), kabobs are meat-only; no pepper, onion, or tomato. Salad was iceberg with a few slices of tomato and cucumber. Baklava tasted good, but was "damp," no crispiness to the phyllo part. read more

I ordered the veggie meal over the phone, and I drove to pick it up. I paid-then they said, "we do not have the eggplant today". I should have asked for my money back and walked out, but instead I walked away with a vegetable medley (tasted and looked canned), some bland spinach and equally bland chickpeas and some average bread...over $10. All very average. It was not horrible, but I would not go back. read more

Simple review here, I ordered to go and got the k14 it was the kubideh and chicken combo. They barely give you any rice kubideh was burnt and so dry almost felt like eating wood, the chicken was good and juicy but lacked flavor. The side salad was the best thing I had here, it's included with the order but sad I only enjoyed the salad and not my main meal. read more

I love the food here! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I order delivery from here frequently. The owners and employees are also very nice. There have been many times when they have thrown in something extra that I didn't order, just because I am a frequent customer. I encourage everyone to support this local business, especially now! read more

Because my uncle is Afghan and every major holiday we have is celebrated with traditional afghan food for the last 10+ years I would like to think I have a pretty good idea what good afghan food tastes like. This place is our absolute favorite aghan food place in the area. It's 20+ minutes away from our house and there are plenty of other places near us but we come here every time because we have not once in the countless times weve been here been dissapointed. Already thinking about my next trip as o write this..... read more
