Standard fare for Kabobs. The meat was a little dry. The naan was on point along with the chickpeas. Sambosa was also tasty. Nothing out of the ordinary. The bathroom dropped me down on the ratings. Solid flavor leaning towards the salty. Service standard. Nothing fancy about the place. Has a real DIY feel. read more

Based on some other Yelp reviews, I decided to check K Kabob House out when I was in the area last and craving some kabobs. To avoid waiting around inside the restaurant, I opted to place an order online via their website. I thought it would be more convenient, but the lengthy process that required me to register and create an account in order to place a simple one-off order was a bit excessive. (Offer a guest checkout if someone is simply placing an order to-go; you don't need my home address if you're not delivering!) After finalizing my online order at last, it quoted me a pickup time in 12 minutes. Not too bad for made-to-order food. In my order, I added instructions for each of the two entrees: no chickpeas and double rice for one; no chickpeas and no salad - just rice - for the second. It was only until I returned home to find the second entree had double salad--a clear misinterpretation of the request. A minor inconvenience, but for those with food allergies I caution the staff to read instructions a bit more carefully for safety sake. Pickup was fast and easy. Friendly guy at the counter greeted me and handed me my food that had just been prepared and bagged. It remained fresh and warm for the car ride home, so I didn't need to reheat. Bonus! I had the boneless chicken breast kabobs and my husband had the combo of chicken and lamb. Both were very flavorful, juicy, fresh. A slightly smaller portion of chickpeas than I'm used to, but I blame it on the compartment in the plastto-go container. Nice large crusty pieces of naan, but I wish there was more than one sauce included with each entree. It was delicious, but their sauce is a little thin/watery compared to some others so it was entirely gone by the 4th or 5th bite. I had half my naan but no sauce left! So ask for a third ramekin if you like it in every bite like I do! All in all, I'd definitely return here. Solid Afghan-style kabob place that probably doesn't get as much foot traffic as it should due to its corporate office park location across from the more prominent Chantilly shopping center. read more

First for the ok: the ambiance is clean. Some walls bare while others have amazing paintings. Calm and not noisy, and generally without a TV on. The food is amazing. Highly recommended and of the lamb dishes and in particular the Quabli Palau. Chickpeas are mouth watering and beautifully spiced. All the kabobs are properly marinated and spiced so come out moist and tasteful. Take the time to talk with the folks behind the counter service is prompt and very friendly. while waiting for your food. They can tell you stories of their parents fighting the Russians; of volunteering with US special forces and the fighting; and of making a new life in the states. read more

A great authentic restaurant nearby the Air & Space museum. Took my dad out to the museum and we stopped in after. Like one of the other reviewers, I also served in Afghanistan and likewise I fell in love with their food dishes as well. I am especially fond of their spicy yogurt sauces. This restaurants sauce, did not disappoint. With its sweet flavor followed by a kick of spice I like it a lot. We ordered, lamb, beef and chicken kabobs. Food is made to order and each dish came out cooked to perfection. Packed full of flavor, the meat tasted great. We also ordered hummus and enjoyed that as well as the baklava which was amazing tasting. Seriously I'll probably come back just for that tasty dessert because I'm still thinking about days after. We ended up eating in and taking the rest to go because it's a lot of food. During that time I got to speak to the family and share about my time overseas as well as listen to their stories. The cook even came out to ask how our food was. Overall the service was great and I'd visit again the next time in over in chantilly. read more

Good stuff. Had K Kabob House bookmarked for awhile and finally got a chance to try it out. Placed an order online, which was simple and straightforward. The employee was friendly and our takeout order was neatly wrapped. Their kabobs are flavorful and overall we enjoyed our meal. I wouldn't say this is our ultimate favorite place to pick up kabobs but I'm still glad we visited. If you're in the area, this is a nice option to have. read more

Ordered a combo with beef and chicken, and husband had combo with lamb and chicken - everything tasted great and very generous portions!

I served in Afghanistan and fell in love with the food. Simple and delicious is the only way to describe the lamb kebab. The lamb was tender, charred to perfection, and full of flavor. The chickpeas are the best I've ever had (many places just lack any real flavor... these don't). The long rice was really good and, as always, paired great with the lamb. The bread was great and the sauce carried a good spicy aftertaste to it. The owners were very friendly. Be patient and dine in is my recommendation... it's the only way to eat something that should be enjoyed fresh. Really really good experience here, I'll miss it as I fly home tomorrow. read more

Smoki Kabobs - Lamb Kebab - Desserts Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

I truly wanted to like the food from this restaurant especially after reading many rave reviews from others. I ordered for the first time at this restaurant through DoorDash and had high hopes that were quickly dashed. We ordered the chicken breast kabobs which were completely dry and flavorless. The spinach was just OK, but nothing great. The hummus was over the top overloaded with garlic, the Afghan soup was a strange soup made with ramen noodles, and the Afghan salad was overpowered with onions. Will NOT be ordering from here again and it's a shame. read more

My friends and I had a really nice dinner here. Fast, casual, comfortable dining room with tables and some booth. The menu has a little bit of everything. I appreciate they have a few vegetarian options. The food was very tasty, generous portions and a fantastic price. I got the vegetarian platter: rice, chickpeas, spinach, eggplant and a side sauce. You can ask for rice or bread. The four of us enjoyed our food. The service was outstanding too. A great experience all around. We will be back. read more

This is my go-to spot for kabobs. The food is always 5/5 stars for deliciousness. The guys that work here are also super welcoming and hospitable too. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for good food in the area. read more

I wish the location was in Centreville or a main strip mall, this place deserves better reviews and food traffic. It's off of route 28 across from hooters and the other eateries, next to tropical smoothie! It's a small quaint space and like I said, it deserves more foot traffic. The gentlemen is so very polite and I believe he is the only running it from what I can tell, he'd take the order and then go to the back and start cooking everything. The quality and flavor of the meat and chickpeas are delish! It's different at every kabob house or places that serve shwarma/kubbideh, I like the chickpeas more at Kabob express because the spice it kicks. BUTT, the chickpeas here tasted so creamy or smooth, I don't know how to explain it but please get an extra side of this. It tasted very subtle, not salty at all, just a little sweet. read more

Smoki Kabobs - Chicken and the deluxe - Desserts Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

First time experience- not impressed. The overall aesthetic/ vibe is dirty, lackluster, and lazy. This place has 40 reviews with a 4 star average, so I'm hoping that my experience was atypical. There was only 1 customer while I was placing my order. I tried the chicken kabob, and it was flavorless. I think Kabob Express in Centreville is significantly better and worth the drive, if you're craving kabobs. read more

Decided to try a to-go order for dinner. First and Last time. Ordered a combo kebab on-line for better half to pick up. She said that the front and back of house had much confusion, and she got overcharged. Food was meh, chicken over cooked and dry, lack of spices...was supposed to add an extra sauce and didn't. Unfortunate... read more

Their food was AMAZING! My hubby and I were coming from the gun show and decided to try a new spot & it was my pick this time!! I love kabobs and wanted a real meal (not fast food) and not something that would take over an hr to be served. It was just that! Food was ready in 15 min, cooked perfectly and full of FLAVOR ( yes more than most spots I've tried)! You would think they weren't busy but they had a huge catering order for over 200 ppl and still got us in with ease. We enjoyed our meals (the deluxe kabob meal) & the naan was delish! Also had a nice chat with the guy working the register and he said they have other locations! We will be trying them as this is our new favorite spot! read more

Food was really good. I ordered the variety of kabobs to share with a friend and the owner was very kind to offer an extra plate with some extra rice. The food was delicious and everything was cooked perfectly. My favorite was the lamb, but it usually is when restaurants offer it.

Delicious food all around. Authentic Afghan flavors and presentation. Anytime I'll be going to Dulles airport, I'll be sure to stop off over here. This place is close by and truly a gem.

Food was incredibly flavorful. Ordered the veggie plate (I'm vegan) and everything was well prepared. I love, love, love the spinach. Both visits employees were super friendly too. Looks like a typical hole in the wall spot with really good food. read more

Where to start. 1. They give very little rice. So, the big part of the styrofoam container that other kabob places fill with rice, these guys just throw in the kabob pieces there wrapped in naan. Usually naan comes in a paper bag at other kabob places. Their rices goes in one of the smaller sections of the box 2. The kabobs are very dry...we tried both lamb and chicken. Really really dry. 3. The salad is pretty brown and really should not be served to customers. Not sure how they got the positive reviews. Will not be returning here. read more

Smoki Kabobs - "Salad" - Desserts Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

One of my favorite lunch spots near my work. They have great specials and always delicious food.

We were passing by and we saw this place. We decided to come in and give it a try. Ahmed was really attentive and explained to us the different dishes and flavors. We ordered gyro and super dish. The food came fresh. Everything is delicious and yummy. Their rice is something else with carrots and raisins. I recommend K Kabob if you are really into Afghan Kabob. Don't not miss it ! read more

We've lived in this area awhile and love trying different kabob places. We decided to try this place out. It is small and seems to do mostly take out but both times we have been we have ate in and the food was really good. The chicken and lamb kabobs are the best we have tasted. Rice is tasty as well. Service was pretty fast. We definitely plan to make this our go to for kabobs from now on. read more

Ordered the Shami Kabob with bread, rice and salad. It was nothing special, just meh... The ground beef tasted good only with the chutney, by itself not so tasty. The chick peas were no good. I dined in around noon and found no paper towels in the bathroom after washing my hands. The guy behind the counter was rude when he saw me taking a picture inside the store. There are better kabob places with nicer service. read more

Recently super impressed with this little joint, the inside doesn't look like much and DEF is not indicative of the taste or quality of your meal. Portions are small in terms of the skewer but what a yummy meal, bread is thick and fresh, green spices yogurt sauce is heaven (a little thin and watery like but packs a punch) chick peas great! The rice flavor is there not sure why the caramelized carrots are so CRUNCHY versus soft but I ate every last drop regardless. read more

Food at this place tasted fresh, and you got a good serving of rice, bread was also warm and fresh. The meat portion however was not that great. We had a chicken kebab and a qaubili pilau, the qaubili pilau came with a ton of rice and three small pieces of lamb, not good value for money. They don't let you pick a side, instead just tell you it will be chickpeas, but this was actually a medley of beans, lentils and chickpeas, this should be pointed out, in case you have aversions or allergies. Definitely not the best kebab I've had, but not the worst either. read more

The nail salon I go to is located right next door to K Kabob so I've been aware of this establishment for quite a while. Yesterday after my nail appointment, I finally decided to stop in and give their food a try. There was a sign outside advertising their lunch special for right under $10. When I walked in no one was at the counter so I stood there for a couple of minutes reviewing their menu. A gentleman walked out from the kitchen area and politely greeted me. I asked him what's included in the lunch special and he advised me that it comes with chickpeas, rice, salad, chicken kabob and naan so I went ahead and placed my order to take home. I waited about 10 minutes for it to be prepared and was tortured on the ride home by the delicious aroma of the food in my car lol When I got home I was pleasantly pleased with the presentation of the food as well as the portion. Long story less long, this will be my new go to Afghan restaurant when I want a great lunch for a low price after my nail appointments. The food was great. read more

So excited to have found my new go-to spot for my kabob fix! I no longer have to drive out to Arlington for good quality, delicious kabob combos. I had the deluxe combo with boneless chicken, lamb, and seasoned beef - served with onions, rice, and a huge naan. The chicken was delicious and juicy, the lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the seasoned beef was probably my favorite seasoned beef/koobideh in all the DMV. The management is super accommodating and let me request things like: no salad, rice, more sauce, etc. - all without making me feel badly about it. Super nice people taking the order and making the food. And a really, really clean interior with good lighting. I'll be getting food from this spot at least weekly! read more

First time visit & likely my only visit. At 3pm on a Sunday, I was the only initial patron upon entrance & found the 2 employees onsite sitting at a small table in the kitchen area. Though I wasn't promptly greeted, I did take note especially when I had questions on the menu. Also noticed a large tray of Saran Wrap covered baklava on the order counter; confident that's not the best place to store food. Placed an order for a chicken wrap/sandwich & for those that aren't aware, meals are made upon order. Music played from the TV in the dining area & by then 2 other patrons had entered... they seemed to be associated with the establishment in some way based on my observation of interaction when they placed their order. The music was loud & not typical of such a setting. One of the guys that had entered was turning down the volume, but not before the Post Malone song blasted out some verbage that made for quite an uncomfortable exchanging of glances. Speaking of uncomfortable, the bathroom had the same vibe... dirty and lacking essential supplies. Order up! Which was intercepted by the same guy that turned down the music & handed over to me... again, he must have some kinda ties here. Grabbed my water from the cooler & was quite relieved to get out of there. The wrap itself was massive, with a lot of Naan to get through to find minimal chicken. It was a total mess to eat & certainly not worth the cost nor the subpar service experience. read more

TL;DR Employee is so rude and fake. Food is good. ______________________________________________ I haaaaate having to rate these people a 1 star bc their FOOD IS AMAZING. The only reason I'm giving this place a 1 star rating is because of one of the guys working there; my aunt and uncle owned a restaurant and I think the manager should know when his employees are not worth hiring. I put in an order for a sandwich on the website and the order was going to be ready at 1:20. I purposefully left my house late so that I wouldn't have to wait. When I got there, the guy who opened the shop had clearly opened it later than he should have...and then proceeded to tell me that the order was put IN at 1:20 when I clearly had on my phone when it was placed. The thing that upset me as a customer was that when they first said the order was late, I said okay and had no issues, but then this man continues to press on and was acting as if I was wrong and he was definitely doing me a favor by making the order "early". He seemed really inauthentic and I will bet my money that he will leave a bad taste with others customers as well. I hope the manager supervises these kinds of employees better because his restaurant deserves better. Unfortunately, despite absolutely loving their food I won't return because I don't want to deal with people like the guy at the front register. He was clearly saying stuff to act as if he was doing me a favor, when really he was saying things so his manager wouldn't find out about it. I've worked in customer service before and these types of people are so detrimental for business. I hope the manager takes the right action and continues to enable his business with the right employees! Best of luck! read more

Went here for the lunch special. Make sure you say lunch special. Or they'll assume you want the regular size and price. Meat are made to order. The white sauce is not what I am used too. But it's filling. read more

Everything I've had from this place is excellent. Kebab sandwiches / platters are flavorful and authentic. The meat is higher quality than your traditional 'gyro' sandwich and the bread is authentic, slightly browned from the baking process. The sauces are nice too-- one of them has a just enough garlic and heat, but not overwhelming. Price point is great as well-- $7 for a kebab sandwich. Other entree prices are reasonable as well. read more
