Great tasking kabobs and side items to accompany them. The chicken and lamb kabobs was moist and flavorful. The pieces could have been a tad larger. Rice and chickpeas that came with it were great too. Overall good authentic food a reasonable price. read more

Oh gosh, just thinking about this place has my salivary glands working in overdrive! Drove into a shopping plaza and wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into - either something really good or something mediocre. But decided not to judge a book by its cover and I'm glad I didn't! Once I went to pick up my order, the endless calls/orders coming in and the multiple people waiting for their orders confirmed how solid this place is. The only thing I regret was not ordering more food. Their green and white sauces are a must! Everything was seasoned perfectly and super flavorful. Ingredients were fresh and my meal was made when ordered so it was still piping hot when I got home. Chickpeas were a solid side choice and there is absolutely nothing I would've changed. Till we meet again! read more

Kabobistan - Super combo: chicken, beef, lamb - Afghan Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

First time coming here. Nothing to rave for days about. Clean sitting area. We ordered the boneless chicken kabob with rice, and channa. The chicken kabob was juicy good, but wasn't the worst kabob I've had. The channa was my least favorite but some liked it. The salad was ok enough. The beef was good. My husband tried the red sauce son the table and said it was good and had a kick to it. The bread was amazing and fresh. They have a variety of drinks. The women's bathroom was clean Overall. Satisfied and full. read more

Wish I could give this place beyond a 5 star! Ok first thing, don't judge a book by its cover...... Location: yes, it's in a strip mall tucked in the heart of Springfield/Annandale....but just trust me and park & go inside! Inside: typical casual food diner kind of place. Clean, friendly, but just wait until the kabob comes out nice and hot..... THE FOOD: we ordered a mix of lamb and chicken and was not disappointed one bit. The lamb/chicken was so tender and juicy. I'm really picky when it comes to lamb because sometimes it can have a particular smell but this one melts in your mouth, no smell and so freaking juicy!!!! Chicken was undeniably juicy and fresh too. Honestly, one of the best kabobs I've had. Side dishes here are also so fresh and high on quality. As an Afghan, I know when shiz is fresh and taste homemade. I've been to Afghan bistro (highly rated on yelp), & honestly have gotten sick of it due to their lack of not sticking to a timely reservation, small space, and deteriorating quality. Flame kabob also sucks on quality. Honestly, don't read any more reviews. Just go!!! & look at my pics for proof. Your mouth will water. Also, owner is soo nice & hospitable. This is my new kabob place!!!!! read more

Great food and good service. I stooped for AC quick lunch and was not disappointed. Clean space as well.

We went there few days ago. They need to keep the tables and place clean. The food is too expensive for the portions they give, specially the qurmas. The food is good. read more

We tried the breakfast and it was very delicious, the menu has a variety of choices. We tried the ottoman breakfast. However, the portion of cheese was too small portion and prices is little high according to food amount. read more

We have been coming here on and off for years now. Everyone is friendly here. I love their potatoes as a side! Their sambosa are also great and we usually end up getting their lamb and chicken kabobs. They're located in the same center as the Giant and Gold's. Lot is pretty big but sometimes it's hard to find parking because so many people go to the gym here. I'd still recommend trying though! read more

Yesterday was my first time there. It's in the same shopping center as The Giant. I was going to The Giant to do my groceries but like they say not to grocery shop on an empty stomach, I decided to eat here first. My stomach was happy & thankful throughout the shopping afterwards. I went there around 6:30-7pm. Parking lot had many parking spaces available. The place was clean and seating was available. I had a lamb plate with chickpeas($11.95) and eggplants(they gave me to try). Lamb was done medium rare as I've asked it to be. Everything is halal. The food looked, smelled, and tasted amazing! The portions were generous. I had to take the leftovers home for my lunch the next day. Customer service was great. I was there by myself but enjoyed the food and watched a bit of the game they were playing on the TV. I'll definitely go there again! Highly recommend!! read more

Good portion size and flavor. General cafe-type ambiance in Annandale. Service as quick.

I've tried to find a better kabob house but I just can't. A real gem in Bradlick Shopping Center

I placed an online take out order about a week ago. They were not busy, and it was not very large. A gentleman checked my order and handed it over, but I realized after I was home that I was missing an order of hummus. No big deal, so I called to ask them to refund the item. A woman answered the phone, and was rude from the moment we began speaking. She told me several times that i had to come back to the store to pick up the missing item (to be clear she didn't not ask if I could come back - she demanded several times). I explained it was not a quick trip and I couldn't, but she still insisted she couldn't issue a refund because I needed to come back and pick up the hummus. When I asked to speak to someone else, she said if I wanted a refund i would have to contact the company that handles the online order. I have since reached out twice to the email contact given for online orders, but received no response. The link on the online site for "contact us" does not work. Overall, a frustrating experience to fix something that should be simple. There are other nearby options with better food and service. read more

The food is incredible and I don't want to order delivery or take out from pretty much any other place. Even if I get it delivered, it's hot, fresh and super great. Highly recommend. read more

2.5 stars? We have gotten takeout from them quite a bit, and even though they would mess up our order four out of five times, we overlooked it because they were just that good (I would get the vegetarian combo while my husband and son got chicken kebabs). However, this last time (it's been several months since we got food from there) -- after messing up the order again (and no refund or even a response when I asked about it), I'm not sure we'll go back. The food was ok but not as good as before. No one finished their meals. If the food is just ok and there's an 80% chance your order will get messed up, why bother? read more

Make a trip out to this restaurant because it is DELICIOUS. The first time my family and I tried it, we couldn't BELIEVE how juicy and well seasoned the meat was. I rarely love boneless chicken kabob because it's almost always dry but Kabobistan has perfected the boneless chicken kabob *chef's kiss*!! Bravo! I would have this food everyday if I could. If you like your red meat, then definitely don't miss out on the lamb chops and ground beef kabob. Those were SO GOOD as well. read more

Came for lunch with the BF... no wait to order but a wait to receive food but they were nice enough to give a sample of soup out...it seemed like a noodle soup. It was really yummy just really comforting on such a cold blustery day outside. Once food arrived I was so surprised at how much food there was for the amount we paid I know other yelpers said there isn't enough meat but the amount of food was plenty for me. I ordered the beef and chicken combo. Which came with a small salad, chickpeas for the side and rice. The BF ordered the chicken and lamb and I got a small bite of the lamb which was surprisingly tender and not overly gamey. The chicken was nicely seasoned not overly salted and was tender and juicy with nice char on the outside to give it a bit of that texture from a grilled meat. Everything was really fresh tasting and the Naan bread had a nice char on it and a good chew. My only gripe is that the sauce in the bottles seems to get stuck and when your pouring it out its just really liquidy. Overall...the service was great in that they gave us a sample of soup plus our cashier had character and he was interactive and very welcoming. I definitely will be returning soon when I have that kabob craving. read more

We asked them to put together a lunch for 20-24 people and the food was hot, delicious, and filled everyone. Even had some leftovers for people to take home. I highly recommend this place. The food is so good and the people are very friendly. read more

Can I give more stars?!?! Awesome service, authentic Afghan kabob, and taste is out of this world! The location is great sit down for families and carry out available. Everything looked so good, we did not know what to choose. The owner Jawad was at the registered and entertained the family style dish that comes with Chicken, ground beef, and lamb kabob. It was garnished with limes and onions. Hot, tasty, juicy and flavorful.. on all of the above. read more

Wow this place is awesome! My coworker told me about this place in that is one of the few authentic halal kabob places in the area. ame here this evening dying of hunger because I had gone all day literally without a thing to eat. After checking out the menu for five minutes, I decided to go for the lamb kabob. I also ordered a side of rice with chik peas.. There were already a few other customers ordering, but it didn't take long at all for me to place my order. I found a nice comfortable table and began to consume! I don't have much experience eating halal type of foods, but the lamb kabob that I ate was absolutely delicious. I ended up taking the rice and chik peas home to eat later, or perhaps for lunch tomorrow. This place is genuine and delicious. read more

Really tasty middle eastern / Afghan food. Try the A1. Chicken is flavored very well. read more

Good: There were some nice things about our meal: really liked the added raw red onion and lime wedge to the meal, lettuce salad was fresh, chicken and lamb kebabs had good charring, rice tasted good, the sauces were also good. What I disliked: were the portions of meat provided, they were small, for the price. Although the meat was charred it was over cooked and slightly tough. The salad was fresh but literally all just iceberg lettuce, with 2 small pieces of carrot. We also did not get to pick our side dish, chickpeas was the only option. The meal did not carry well as a takeaway, on our 30min journey back home, the fresh bread had become tough and the way the containers were packed, food had been mixed up ie dry and wet should have been packed separately. Not sure if we will be back, maybe only to sit in and eat. read more

I gotta say that the food quality has gone down from what it used to be. I ordered an A9 combo but was dissatisfied with the food quality. The meat was not as tasty, maybe it had less seasoning, portions were very small, the spinach side was very bland too. I would say Moby Dick has similar food and it does taste much better! I might try Kabobistan again in the future and see if they improve their quality! read more

Food was delicious but docking stars solely because the restaurant was not very clean and the food itself was way more expensive in comparison to other kabob restaurants where we've ordered similar items. Let me start by saying that the staff was friendly and let us know that we would have a 25 minute wait for our food which was completely fine. We were more than happy to wait but the inside tables had not been cleaned from other customers and there were flies buzzing around inside. When we received our food, we were stoked about the generous portion sizes! The flavors were out of this world delicious and the chicken was the fan favorite by far. The Afghan Carrayee was also wonderful but had so much oil at the bottom of the plate that we ended up with stomach aches by the end of the meal. The bread wasn't super flavorful but it did a great job in helping me shovel more rice into my mouth! Overall, I'd consider coming back but would probably call in and take it to-go for a better dining experience. read more

I ordered 2 chicken kabobs and one lamb kabob online. My food was ready when I arrived. I was greeted by a staff member that was on her break. I was the only customer in the restaurant at the time and there was a staff member writing on the back of a receipt when I approached the counter. She didn't look up or acknowledge me until the manger approached the front counter...it took a few minutes and she was a little short but I didn't take it personally or have a tone. All and all the staff was rude, but the food was delicious. read more

One of my favorite kabob places in the area. What makes me keep coming back is their consistency. All the food is always cooked correctly and packed with so much flavor. My orders always been right with sauces in the bad. Other places Ive tried are bland, the rice tastes like rubber, the meats dry. One thing I noticed though with all the kabob places I tried is they skimp on the meat. If you look at pics from years ago they used to give nice big chunks, now its small pieces and paying a lot more for essentially a lot less. That goes for all the OG spots. I would come more often if the portion size was what it used to be. read more

BEWARE! I picked up my order on Monday afternoon, 17 January 2022, got a lamb gyro sandwich and a side of spinach, went home and ate around 4pm, ended up with severe stomach cramps, nausea, weakness, and shaky and ultimately, vomiting by 10pm that night. This went on into Tuesday and I am just getting my strength and appetite back today. Won't be back. read more

This place has become our go to kabob location. We love the chicken kabobs and the bread and white sauce is addicting. Usually only takes 15-20 minutes when you order in store but you can also order online. Our usually sides are potatoes and creamed spinach. Service is usually quick and there is tons of parking. read more

Horrible service. Called w an order but they messed it up. They also didn't start cooking until I showed up to pick up the food.

Get the lamb. Tender and flavorful. Would skip the chicken. Sambosas also good as an appetizer. We place our order to go but they don't start making it until you are at the restaurant so you have to usually wait. Food is worth it though. Staff pretty friendly too. read more

We didn't actually get to try the food here. It smelled good though! We were ordering with our young toddler in tow and she said she needed to go potty. I asked where their restroom was and they refused to let us use it, so we went to the pho place next door for a delicious meal and a setting that was much more family friendly. read more
