I only ordered for the beef curry and they let me too. Got there and I was told they're not serving beef which was disappointing, should have not let people order beef. read more

My husband and I stopped by here for brunch on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. You order at the front, grab a seat, and get your food when they call your number. The food here is amazing!! The kabobs are so flavorful. We also tried the beef nehari which I've never had before. It was so tasty. I love the naan here too -- soo fluffy and thick. You get so much food; we had leftovers the next day. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. Parking may be difficult to find depending on when you go but we found street parking across the street (free on Sundays). read more

This place is always a great option for those nights late out as it's 24/7. I love ordering the Koobedeh platter and lamb platters. Nice sized portions with every meal and expedited service. read more

I love kabob palace! Been coming here for 20 years, and haven't lived in DC for 18. Worth the drive, and we get it every time we come into town. Most authentic flavors outside the Middle East. Love that it's open 24 hours for the times we have to take it to go and eat it later on an airplane. Highly recommend! read more

The kabob place was great! I had chicken curry, my friend had the lamb kabob. Delicious and reasonably priced. read more

Kabob Palace - Chicken curry special. Delicious! - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Everyone in the dmv knows of this 24hr food safe space. Great portions , pricey numbers and a very stern work staff. Families fill the seats in the early evening and then the crowds get a bit unruly and rude as the night gets later. Be prepared to wait a lONG time the later it gets. Food is clean and cooked well the saag and Chana are always great. I love the lemon onion and chili station and the complimentary chai station in the very back. Also the giant piece of bread and the green yogurt sauce they give you. It's can be a bit daunting your first couple of times going so build up your confidence if you don't want to get walked over lol. read more

I can't remember the last time I was with a crew that wanted to spontaneously go get food 30 minutes away at 1:00 AM. That happened to be me the other night. They were hungry, and wanted me to try this place out in Arlington. I recognized Kabob Palace's area almost immediately. I was at the lounge down the street a long time ago, and we were very close to the Hyatt, and BlerdCon memories started flooding back! Anyways, Kabob Palace has a very tight parking lot -- we got lucky with the last spot. Then we went inside and it was just so bright in there!!! Maybe it was also because of how late it was, but wow, haha. There was some tables for dining in, and it was way more crowded than I expected. I guess with a 24/7 spot, you can expect anything. My friend did all the ordering... all I know is that I ended up with a heavy tray of curried chicken, chickpeas and a huge slab of beef in some stew. I think it was called nehari. Well... I'm not used to eating that late, so I couldn't eat it all at once, but it was delicious! Flavorful chicken and beef, great chickpeas... and the rice soaked in that curry as delightful! I loved dipping my naan in the mint chutney as well. My friend said that the fact that we were in and out was a rarity, but that was a great first impression for me. I'd definitely come back to try more! read more

The service is extremely poor. The workers mess up your order and then yell at you. I have been coming here for over a decade. I have put up with the poor service because the food is good but there is a limit. These people treat the customer so poor that the food is no longer worth it. They should be embarrassed. Afghans are known for their hospitality, this place is not run by Afghans. The ambiance is poor too. It's loud, they use a loud speaker and it's bright as day. Only get this place if you're getting uber eats or a delivery service. It's not even worth to pick up your food. You're bound to have a terrible experience if you enter this establishment. Lastly even the quality of the food has been deteriorating. Makes me wonder how they still stay in business. Maybe it's because they used to have a good reputation. With so many other Afghan restaurants in the area, these people are going to have a rough time surviving. read more

Honestly this is a solid 3.5. I came in with high expectations driving from Gaithersburg to try this hype. There is no parking. Like 2-4 street parking out front and the market next to it. Across the street there is but good luck, it's always packed from other ppl parking to attend other restaurants and bars on that strip. Dont bother parking in the neighborhoods cause you cant. Just go to the paid parking down a block. Had to wait 20-25mins once ordered. Place inside was packed. People who worked there were also semi rude i get it go sit or move out if your food isnt ready but mine was. Dude had to tell me to go wait elsewhere but my order was up. He needs to chill. Better pray for seating to because there's like 6-7 tables max in there. Food was expensive like any kebob place however this is a tad bit more. Food wasnt worth the hype and nightmare either. Would be ok if you live here and can walk there to pick up. Otherwise im not coming and dont recommend read more

Kabob Palace - Receipt - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Looks dubious and insalubrious but tastes delicious. Worth a try. I mean, it's 24/7 and near DCA so it's perfect for the late night flight hungries. I had the Thursday night curry lamb special which came with fragrant rice and a large chewy flatbread. The place has horrible florescent white light like a hospital but it's also clean and well run. Come here. Bonus points if you come after 2 am! read more

My go to is chicken or lamb kebabs with just chickpeas and rice. Always amazingly delicious.

Kabob Palace - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Our Lyft driver recommended Kabob Palace for great food that is walking distance to Hyatt Crystal City and neighboring hotels. It's a small business. Quite authentic with plenty of locals coming for dinner. We had 1) chicken kabob plate - bone-in It was juicy and tender. Good marinade throughout. 2) lamb kabob plate - of all the meats we tried, this was best. Pretty tender for lamb. Super flavorful 3) extra skewer of ground beef - okay but my least favorite. A little dry. 4) extra skewer of chicken. Boneless. Surprisingly not dry and good marinade. Sides: peas and potatoes (pretty good) rice (meh) Spinach (good - recommend this) Bread (really fresh. Super chewy. Delish) Salad (fresh but no dressing on it and none was offered to us) I got the extra skewers because each dinner plate only has 1 kabob. We did have some leftover meat but not much. read more

Kabob Palace - Kabobs are ready for grilling - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Open 24 hours, the best halal food near the DCA airport. It's definitely a must go! Been around for decades and never fails to deliver on taste. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the service. Twice now I've ordered ahead but it was a complete waste of time. It wouldn't be so frustrating if the guy taking the order was half decent (rotates so don't know the name). Basically, he just wanted to get me off the phone: hung up before even taking my name, never put a time on the ticket, order wasn't accurate, etc...I almost walked away when I got to the restaurant but one of the night shift folks understood my grievance and expedited the food order. Regardless, food wise, it's terrific but just be aware it's probably best to order at the counter. 3 stars because of the two terrible ordering experiences but quality of food is unmatched in the area so you won't be disappointed. Ambiance is decent, seating can be limited in rush hour. read more

One of my favorite spots in the DMV area for food. Great tasting and quantity of food for the price. For only $16-18 you can get the daily special. Highly recommend the Wednesday lamb with lentils or the weekend Haleem. Both absolutely delicious and enough food for 2 meals. Will definitely come again to try other specials! read more

Good food at right price. Within walking distance from hotel. Convenient. Would eat there again.

Very expensive with little servings. Very stingy on sides. Will not come back again for this overated restaurant. Very disappointed.

The food was tasty and authentic. The rice with the spinach can be watery. The pricing has increased and now they have monitors with the menu displayed inside. How to order: Pick a number ( if you are ordering for a vegetarian just say vegetarian platter and they will give you all three veggies. ) He will ask you if you want salad. Say yes or no. That's it. The man taking your order can come off rude. It think it's just a cultural thing. If you try to tell him which vegetables you want while ordering he will abruptly tell you that you will tell them the vegetables you want once they call your order. ( it will be a wait. It is a very popular and busy restaurant) They have complimentary coffee while you wait. The bone in chicken was tasty read more

One of my favorites kabob place. All the food is delicious and authentic Afghan food. The food cooked awhile but they are fresh and moist.

Food 6/10 We ordered the lamb and chicken with rice Service was slow, multiple orders went out before us that came in after us. Definitely was busy. While everything was edible the flavor I remember from years ago was lacking. Ambiance - very cluttered, rude people who basically were sitting on our table, pushing pass with no regard. Open late so good for late night quick spot.Maybe a good spot after drinking. When not busy. read more

Kabob Palace is my go-to restaurant in the area. Whether you're dining in or taking out, the quality is consistent and amazing every time. The workers there are friendly and can give you recommendations if you don't know what to order. Personally, the lamb curry, lamb spinach, and lamb chop are my favorites. The lamb falls off the bone and is tender. For the sides, you get options like chickpeas, salads, spinach and potato, and more. They give you tons of food and a flatbread on the side. read more

UGH. I stopped writing reviews for horrendous restaurants just because there are too many plus it's my energy, my time. But this is one of the most nastiest experience I have ever encountered and I had to say something about it. I've been coming here for couple of years. Place is never really clean when you enter but I just ignored it just because the place is open 24/7. There were times I would come in like 7am because I want some lamb in the morning. Those days are GONE- my friends. I got my usual two meat selection with my two sides. As I was putting them on my plate, a ginormous something with a head and a antenna landed on my plate. I almost threw up in my mouth. The place is over priced, I won't miss it and definitely won't be coming back. Make sure lights are on nice and bright when you eat. #THEKABULBALTIMORE #NOGLOVES read more

Open 24/7 so of course when I pick my aunt up from the airport she wants to grab some food. Started eating before I could get a picture :( but it's good every single time we get it. I'd try to know what you want before you hop in line and note that you only order and pay for your protein at the counter. You'll tell the cooks what your sides are when they call your number! I had the bone in chicken kabob with rice, chickpeas and greens. Green could've used a little salt. Two other members of my family had that as well. And then my aunt ordered a chicken and lamb combo. Those four trays totaled $70-80. Worth the money! read more

Definitely come check this place out. read more

Kabob Palace - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Came here originally bc I was looking for a place near crystal city to get falafel. They came up in a search bc I guess they used to serve them but they don't anymore. We were there on a Monday so we got their Monday special, chicken curry. It came with stewed chickpeas, salad, rice, and a giant piece of flat bread for like $20. It was definitely enough food for 2 meals. Idk that I would let a kid eat the chicken bc there were lots of tricky little bone pieces in it, that were hard to navigate even as an adult. The rice also had big pieces of peppercorn and so each bite had a crunch that had me playing a fake of "is this pepper or a chicken bone." The flavor of the dish itself was great, I just wish the bones were bigger and easier to pick out. I'd still definitely come here again. read more
