This is my second time doing take out here and this is now my go to place for kabob!! I was very skeptical at first because the first time I was here to pick up my order it was self service for the sides... I choose chick peas and rice and everything was amazing from the chicken down to the sauce! The nan was really good! The service is really good here too they were really helpful and friendly and gave us free sides and a cup of water while we were waiting for our to go order :) read more

Highly recommended this place it's my second time here there food is Exactly like street food reminds me of my home.

Without hesitation, I recommend this amazing, family-centric restaurant. The food is delicious and cooked with great care. I've had a great experience ordering from this restaurant in past, most recently this weekend. My guests were mesmerized and really enjoyed it, and I will surely recommend this to all my family and friends in the future. Thank you for a great service! Safia H. Lorton read more

Hands down the best tasting Tandoori Kabob in Northern Virginia As I waited for my food they provided me with free appetizer sombosa Friendly people Clean environment read more

This establishment looked good to try. It was clean and the gentleman helping us was nice. But unfortunately when people of the same ethnicity came in. He hugged them and gave them the priority treatment. He brought out all kinds of food for them. Have them plates napkins and drinks. We haven't gotten any utensils and or napkins. He catered more to them and we were nothing. Although we were there first ones there the party of four got served first before us. Our ethnicity is Dominican Republic and Samoan. We will not be coming back. You lost our business first and last time there. If you keep doing business like this you will close soon. read more

Chicken Kabob- The chicken kabob was excellent. It came out hot and fresh. It had a great spice blend. The chick peas and the rice and the bread were amazing. Habib was very very friendly, really recommend talking to him. Would go again. read more

Great food & excellent service. The kulchas were the best I've had in ages! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Great spot , the food was excellent, savory, best Pakistani spot in Springfield, Virginia!

RE: Wedding Catering We had a wedding, so we catered from Karahi Kabob. Absolute worst wedding food we've ever had. It sucked because we shelled out 3K for this food, and it was like someone made it who didn't know how to cook. PLEASE, save yourself and your wedding, go get it from some other place. Everything tasted re-heated, as if it'd been frozen, and the fish was disgusting. Horrible, horrible experience. read more

Great inexpensive buffet and kabob. The lamb kabob is excellent. Samosa platter is flavorful and spicy; you can also get the samosas a la carte, good choice as well. read more

Got the chapli meal and the chicken tikka. Both were around $10 each and there was definitely a wait. However, the two owners graciously offered me and my Asian mother to try some of the things they offer at their buffet. Considering the mother has never had Pakistani/Indian food (the owner was from Bangladesh though) we tried the Chana masala w basmatic rice, spinach and the samosa. Mom liked the Chana and rice but the heat crept up on her. The only non spicy thing she enjoyed was the samosa. The chapli def had a good kick and both meals only came with 2 sides but the owner had no problem when I asked for rice along with the chickpeas and spinach. It also came with naan and a side salad. The yogurt sauce was tasty to balance out the heat from the chapli. Chicken tikka...it was tasty boned dark meat chicken but wished for a few more pieces. It was almost 130pm and I was wondering where all the customers were. $9.99 sounded decent for a buffet but then I realized there is an Indian buffet a few doors down that offered more entrees. Will I come here again. A def yes for kabobs and chapli and the chickpeas and spinach (however I did get a piece of plastic twist tie in the spinach). read more

Food is great and the service OK, but what disappoints me is that their site and yelp site say they deliver but they do not. This causes me to rethink giving them business since they show that they deliver and when you call them they say that they no that they do not. When i asked why they have it shown on Yelp that they do deliver, I was asked if I was going to order or not. That will get a negative review any day. Guy on phone was short and impatient. read more

The naan, lamb kabob, chickpea curry, and biryani were excellent. My complaints about this restaurant are it is not ready for lunch at 12:00 p.m., except for the buffet. While I was waiting for my food to be prepared I saw a mouse run across the floor from the kitchen. I noticed the cooks do not use gloves when preparing the food. The menu is printed in a pamphlet next to the cash register. Most importantly, I did not get sick from the food. read more

I ate here last night. Terrible experience. I don't understand how they have a 4 star rating. The plates, cups, silverware, EVERYTHING is plastic. Thanks for looking out for the planet? Why would anyone pay $25 for two people for a very bad "buffet"? The excuse was "sir we have an extra meat dish today that's why we have less items on the buffet".....that makes no sense lol. They didn't have samosas which was another excuse. Everything was sub par, the food was 5/10. Everything was old sitting in trays heated by lights. Nihari was crap, chicken karai wasn't even karai, it was watery goop with chicken in it. Karai kabob is your name...where was the karai? Where were the kabobs? I came yesterday and got crap food and worse service. The ONE waiter that works there was getting hounded by everyone in the restaurant for how terrible the service was. The options to choose from were so limited, I don't even remember what they had. I would not recommend this terrible experience to anyone. Your buffet wasn't a buffet, it was a handful of crap cold hard items to choose from. Your break was stale, when we asked for another bread the waiter said okay...then he never bought it out. We left cash on the table and left, never to come back. Terrible food, TERRIBLE SERVICE. Worst desi restaurant in NOVA. read more

I'm going to use my kids language.. OMG!!! This place is delicious! Don't be deterred by the outside. The people are friendly and the food is packed with so much flavor it leaves wanting more. Awesome place, and I'll most def be back! read more

Located in Springfield, Karahi specializes in Iranian/Pakistani food. I ordered the bone-in chicken tikka kabob (believe it's combo #5). The plate came with roughly 8 pieces of chicken tikka, chick peas, and rice. The dish also came with salad, naan, and yogurt sauce. The chicken was oh-so tender and cooked perfectly. The chick peas were fantastic, on par with Ravi Kabob's famous chick peas. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was in this hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The owners were super friendly too and went through their menu patiently with us. Food took a little while to come out, but it was well worth it. Next time I come here, I want to try their buffet. read more

Not as god as I had hoped. They were out of the Lamb Karahi and assured me the chicken would be amazing. It wasn't. It tasted like it was overlooked. Chicken was a bit tough and the sauce had a singed taste. It's a hole in the wall so don't expect much. But that doesn't bother me if the food is cooked with care. I love Dera which is just a few doors down but they were closed for renovations for two days. read more

Review is for lunch only. Do you like your kabob spicy? This place is pretty good. Right in the middle of kang chon korean and the Thai ghan wan restaurant. Gracious owner/host delivers service with a smile. read more

Tasteless chickpeas and I couldn't eat more than few bites of my Chicken Kabab. Maybe the food wasn't fresh because it's 8pm, but that isn't okay. read more

Karahi Kabob Sweets is kind of a place that will haunt your memory for ages. We went there for weekend buffet. It was old, stale and cold. Everything tasted bad. There customer service is bad as well and are under staffed. read more

Their food was mediocre last time I ate there. This time a friend order a catering order from them and they totally messed it up. On top of that they did not even called to apologize. Never again! read more

This is the best Kabob house I have ever been to. The food was excellent, and the service was friendly and helpful. I see no need to go anyplace else for Kabob from this point forward. I had the lamb kabob with sides of eggplant and spinach. One of my new favorite meals of all times. read more

Delicious food, and the manager Hadia is very generous! Very welcoming place. The tables are clean and the food is very flavorful. Outstanding service read more

Disclaimer: This review applies to the Karahi Kabob food cart that often appears in Ballston. Have you ever overcooked rice and then put that rice in the fridge for a week and then reheated it in the microwave? Well for the bargain price of $10, you can try someone else's old reheated rice. Not to mention I ordered a vegetarian meal and the server claimed he was giving me something "very special, very special" when he included chicken, and despite my protests I later found his bland interpretation of chicken tikki masala in my meal. When you see the owner standing outside the cart, trying to sell you on his kabobs, walk on by. Walk. On. By. read more

Absolutely loved the chicken pakoras. Chicken Karahi was good too. We ordered food for pick up. Everything was ready on time. Will definitely try more items from the menu read more

Consistently fresh food, friendly staff, and calm atmosphere! I have been coming to this restaurant for a few years and I have never been disappointed. Great job as always! read more

I noticed a new food truck in Rosslyn yesterday and saw that *gasp* my FAVORITE! Indian! I ordered the butter chicken. It came as a 'side' in the container, but once I finished the beans on top of the rice, it covered the entire entree sized portion of the container and it was GOOD. There was also a side of mixed veggies.. Some broccoli and cauliflower in some sauce that was delicious (though a bit oily) and that was also delicious. The service was incredibly friendly and QUICK. Someone was standing outside of the truck for customers to pay so the person inside could get your food ready. The butter chicken was decadent. The chicken itself was very moist, which is the best surprise when I get butter chicken. Some places are hit or miss and some overcook it. Overall, LOVE this truck and I cannot wait until they come back to Rosslyn. Will add photos later.. read more

Been looking for a real Pakistani taste and finally got it here. The best food with real desi taste. And that welcoming staff with smile. I will highly recommend for all Pakistani food lovers read more

Delicious kabob for a good value. I would recommend the sheekh kabob. Too many places nowadays give you either naan or rice, but this place gives you both. Also too many places give you either chick peas or spinach, but this place gives your both. Owner was nice and food was delicious. For ~10 bucks the value is great as you get a large amount of rice, chick peas, spinach, and kabob. Delicious and look forward to coming here again read more

Very good buffet - tasty and a good amount of varieties. Chicken is hand slaughtered. Prices are also reasonable.

Overall I was very impressed with the food and service here. I have tried almost all the kabob restaurants in Northern Virginia and they have the best pricing and taste. So far, I have tried their Chicken Boneless, Spinach, Karahi Kabob, Chick peas, Haleem, Baryani, Lahore Fish and Kashmiri Chai...they were all very delicious! read more

Horrible place to get your food catered. The food was suppose to be catered to a party of 130 people that we were attending. The delivery time was 6 pm per agreement. All the guests left 4 hours later, and the host finally received a call at 9:45pm that delivery is almost here. We asked them to take the food back since it was no longer needed. The restaurant owner kept notifying us the delivery is on its way for 4 hours. Absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't recommend KARAHI KABOB to anyone. They are unreliable and dishonest. Our host didn't have any words to describe what had just happened. Never before that they hosted an event and the food wasn't delivered. KARAHI KABOB has set a new low standard to Pakistani food Caterers in the Washington DC area. Please if you want to avoid embarrassment at you next event do not order your food from KARAHI KABOB. They shouldn't be in business with such Poor business ethics. read more

Excellent Food! Great atmosphere and great customer service. I would like to say that the owner went out of his way to please me and my guest. read more
