    Chicken Lamb & Chicken Kabob Platter
    Nina Z.

    Ordered two platters last night for dinner - the lamb and a lamb/chicken combo. Both were so good. The kebabs are generous, large portions. The platters come with rice, salad, bread and chickpeas. You will be full as well as satisfied. Highly recommend!

    Our work had Reston Kabob cater our work lunch today. They were on time and when at the moment they were setting lunch up we realized we might be short on food, Masoud called the restaurant to order more quickly. he went back to Reston, picked up and brought it back. On top of that, the food was excellent! We ordered salad, beef, chicken, chick peas, naan, tzakiki sauce, hummus. Everything was delicious!

    Delicious chicken kabob meal with chickpeas, salad, and rice...YUMMM!!

    We were celebrating a family birthday. Reston Kabob did a fabulous job. We were feeding a load of people with a variety of tastes. So, we ordered chicken kabobs, beef kabobs, and gyro meat. We also bought two different kinds of rice, salad, roasted chick peas in curry sauce, and pita bread. There was enough food to feed an army. The chicken and beef kabobs were tasty and delicious. There were tender with grill marks and had that delicious grilled flavor. I kept eating and loving the food. The salad was fresh, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, Greek olives, and a tangy dressing. It was refreshing. The chick peas in curry sauce are a personal favorite. I don't know what they put in that curry sauce, but it is fabulous. The Jasmine rice was cooked perfectly and the pita bread was fresh and tasty. I highly recommend Reston Kabobs for a family dinner or big birthday party. They did a great job and were really nice to work with.

    Came here around 1pm on a Sunday for lunch. Was not impressed. The floors and tables were not cleaned, there were crumbs, grease, and trash all over the place. Couldn't find a clean table anywhere. We ordered the chicken and lamb combination platter ($19). The lamb was tough. For a kabob place, the food was only lightly spiced. However, the rice and the sauces on the side were pretty good, and so was the bread. I would not recommend the lamb. Probably would not visit this place again. Have had better experiences elsewhere.

    Gyro Sandwich with Chickpeas - big enough to share
    Rachel M.

    Even after 10-15 years, Reston Kabob has not yet found a way to make bread that doesn't toughen instantaneously. For me, the wrap is the best item on the menu and plenty big for two. Platters are also great for sharing, but the salad is inedible. At least with the wrap, you get chickpeas on the side...even if they are lacking in spice profile. RK's meat is always cooked perfectly, I will give them that! But the bread and sides just aren't as good as Sheesh Grill in a Chantilly, where you can enjoy all three elements.

    Chicken Kabob Platter

    This review is based on take out of two chicken kebob platters which came with rice, salad, bread and a side of chick peas. All top notch- chicken was moist, chickpeas flavorful and the bread was still steaming when we got it. The rice was fine - a little dry imo but everything else was so good that we knew it wasn't meant to be the star. The spinach side was creamy and 100% spinach which I loved. Ordered on their website and said it would take 20m. Went there on time and waited another 5. There were about 6 people waiting. Very clean inside and the guy grilling the meat was thorough- I could tell he put a lot of care in each kebob. Would recommend.

    Enjoyed the chicken kabob here. The chickpeas and potatoes were okay, but not too flavorful. A lot of rice. The white and green sauce were good as well.

    Really really good food. The meat and seasoning... amazing. And its freshly cooked in front of you, so the food quality is amazing.

    Came here with a friend to try somewhere new. There is some street parking and also a garage and lot across the way, which is a little more convenient. The menu is slightly limited with about 5/6 proteins and the option to have each as a platter, salad or wrap, with an additional 5 or so sides. There is plenty of seating inside, although we were the only people who seemed to be there to eat dine in versus takeout. My friend and I both ordered the lamb gyros and they were super good and quite large, we definitely could have split one! If you're in the area I definitely recommend stopping by.

    Veggie Samosa
    Thomas N.

    One day I was craving kabobs, and I opened Doordash to see what was around me. I ended up choosing Reston Kabob since my co-workers mentioned they were great for lunch. I ordered the veggie samosa and the ground beef platter (Beef kobeeda). The Veggie samosa was nice and crispy, and the inside was very fluffy. The Beef kobeeda was also good when combined with the white and green sauce. The salad and chick peas however were subpar at best. The salad felt like it was straight out of a bag, and the chick peas weren't very flavorful. Overall, getting Reston Kabob was a great choice for lunch. It was nice and filling. I highly recommend the Veggie Samosa since that was a great addition to the overall meal.

    This place is next to work, so I frequent it for lunch. The value is great. Kabobs rarely are overly dry. Other than that -- no complaints.

Taste of Istanbul was a delightful experience. I ordered the combination kebab platter to sample a bit of everything, and not a single item disappointed. The real standout was the chicken, it was cooked to perfection, incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Even the rice exceeded expectations, as it was well-seasoned and genuinely delicious rather than just a side dish. The service was attentive, with the staff offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring we had everything we asked for. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, and the outdoor seating makes it an especially enjoyable spot when the weather is nice. The mixed mezze platter was another highlight, offering generous portions that were easily enough to share among a few friends. The bread was fresh, warm, and crisp. It's also worth noting that they're open until midnight on Sundays, making Taste of Istanbul a fantastic option for a satisfying late-night meal.

I tried this place out for lunch on a rare outing without my wife and when the craving for cart style meat over rice struck. The restaurant was completely empty during peak lunch hours, which did not bode well. I nonetheless proceeded and ordered a combo chicken/lamb platter over rice to go. Shah's sauces are solid, and I appreciate that the white sauce is not gloppy or sweet like some other competitors' and that the red sauce is appropriately piquant. They also offer a mild but flavorful green sauce which adds some fresh notes. Those sauces are needed as the chicken, lamb, and rice are unremarkable. The chicken possessed a decent flavor from a spiced marinade, though the pieces ran a little dry. The lamb cubes tasted like generic gyro and carried little flavor besides salt. The rice itself lacked the fluffy yet al dente texture seen at the best halal places. The proteins did not taste fresh and were served from a steam table rather than off the griddle. Still, the overall eating experience felt reasonably enjoyable due to the flavor of the sauces carrying the weight of the platter. The guy who took and assembled my order was very nice, though forgot to include pita bread in my order. I paid about $13 for the meal, and the portion was generous. As such, Shah's is a competent but unremarkable halal platter spot. I would not go out of my way to eat here, but if it's the closest place to you for this type of food it's a fine option.
