After swimming for a couple hours, literally anything will taste good. I stopped by last week with a few friends who are weekly regulars at Tasty Chicken Box after their swimming hang outs. I like that they open pretty late and there is some hot, but not too sweet tea offered while waiting in line to order. All of us got the rice platter, which is prepared in a fast-casual style where we told them which proteins, vegetables, toppings, and sauces we wanted. COMBO OVER RICE - 11.99 This comes with half lamb/half chicken, rice, choice of veggies, and sauce. I got it with lettuce and tomatoes and a light amount of sauce. The chicken was really dry and bland, which was disappointing. It helped eating it with the vegetables and sauce. I enjoyed the lamb as it was well-seasoned. The portion size was huge, and I was unable to finish the whole platter even after swimming. We also shared a plate of large fries, which were freshly heated. They were probably previously frozen, but they were delicious for what it was. read more

Large portions of very solid Middle eastern food in a no-frills setting Only a couple of seats inside and a few tables outside as well I got a chicken & rice platter and it was very tasty, especially the white sauce that came on top of it. There was a ton of it on top, though I am not complaining read more

Equivalent to halal guys! Hefty portion! I split w/ my wife cuz I wasn't that hungry but still pretty good portion! Dude that served us was very nice and generous! We ended up eating inside cuz it was way too hot out and idk if this place is dog friendly but I brought my pup inside. They didn't say anything sooo I guess it's dog friendly? Must try if you are visiting the area - for sure! 5 out of 5 read more

Tried this spot for a late dinner. We got the chicken over rice platter and the shish tawook. Both were fresh and tasty, we loved the white sauce. It was easy to place the order over the phone and pick up at the store. It's not a sit down place. Overall food was pretty good, nothing to rave about, but solid. read more

Wow wow wow... I've been looking for a spot like this for so long... the name alone draws you in! The service is on point and about the customer. The restaurant is clean and love the neon light that reads "All it takes is One taste"! This is so true due to the fact eating there mixed combo of chicken and lamb. The white sauce that was drizzled over it entered my taste buds into another world.. speaking of another world, the pepper sauce was fighting my taste bud as well as loving them. Please take your time to give this place a chance and realize it is what it says it is! Tasty!! read more

Tasty Chicken Box - 2 orders of mix combo chicken and lamb - Chicken Shop Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Delicious chicken over rice. Has all the old Tippys options but also some great new ones. Service was great.

I had high hopes for this place, and the food was generally good, but there were a couple serious missteps. I ordered their combo chicken and lamb meal over rice. First, I should say that I'm not middle eastern so I'm no expert, but I'm from NYC, arguably the birthplace of this style of street-cart halal cuisine and I survived on halal cart lamb over rice throughout college. Regarding the positives: the portion size was generous, the service was fine, the sauces were balanced, and I appreciated the ability to customize the veggies and dip combinations, including the addition of toum or hummus. Onto the negatives: the proteins are precooked and served from chaffing trays which resulted in lukewarm and dry chicken or lamb. Additionally, serving plain basmati rice versus the traditional turmeric seasoned yellow rice is huge misstep. Overall, the food here is decent and reasonably priced. I may give them another try when they've just cooked the protein or I'll try something else on their menu. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. I got the chicken platter with rice and vegetables. They give you a lot of food which is nice. Definitely going to get a few meals out of it. The chicken has a great flavor. I'm not sure what is in the sauce but it's good. I also got a side of hummus which was tasty but they only give you half a pita. Had to pay extra for more and it was very cold and kind of stale. Also would have liked more of the vegetables to mix in with the chicken and rice. Overall though it was good. read more

Excellent food and customer service! It's the first visit and definitely not the last. Their food it's fresh and with a lot of flavor! We came as a large group and we all tried different dishes. The mixed grill (delicious), combo rice bowl (amazing), hummus (creamy and authentic), chicken (soft and flavorful) and stuffed grape leaves (tasty). Make sure you try both of their sauces, so so so good! Didn't get a chance to take a picture as we were eating as soon as the food touched the table :). The staff checked how was the food and if we needed anything during our visit. Overall, this will be our place to go for good food! You must try it, and you won't regret! read more

Food is great! Fresh falafel and lamb kabob wraps are our favorites. Prices are very reasonable. Portions are large. Love this place!

For my first order-- I placed an order through GrubHub and the reviews on the delivery sites recommended the combo over rice. And it was absolutely delicious, It's chunks of meat over basmati rice. when ordering for delivery you get to choose whether you want vegetables, peppers,salad greens, sauces. The portion is very big and could be split between two people or one person with leftovers. The vegetable and salad greens that I ordered were very fresh. I have no idea what was in the sauces but I would definitely order it again with both the red and the white sauce, LOL. After the GrubHub order, I drove over several times to get MORE. I order the Lamb wrap (like a gyro) and several more meats over rice--You point to the toppings you want (veggies, sauces) and I ask for a dollop of hummus (.99 cents) which is so fresh! It's very fresh meat and rice and vegetables, and if that sounds good to you then definitely check this place out! The people at the counter are very nice and welcoming and tonight there was a crowd cueing up! read more

Tried Tasty Chicken Box for the first time. Met the owner and his son who were very nice. I got chicken and lamb over rice. They have a lot of great options to go with it as well like hummus, garlic sauce, feta cheese, onions tomato's, lettuce etc. Between the meat, the lamb was the star. The chicken was still good but just a little dry compared to DCG. Great post gym meal.I'll be back. read more

The food here is as the name states, tasty! Opted for the chicken/lamb combo box and every bite was better than the last. They have ample parking, and there's an option to dine inside. There was barely any wait time, food came out quickly and was so appealing to the eye! I like their setup, lots of lights around and their location is very convenient. read more

Best NEW food spot in Arlington. The combo is awesome, The combo with the red Chilli peppers, combo with red and white sauce is excellent. The tea is excellent. The large seating in the box was unexpected. Reminds me of Brooklyn Yemeni cuisine. My new favorite. The price is great. read more

Go... if you like halal guys then you'll love tasty chicken box and lamb. We saw this place opening up where Sibarita used to be and because we loved Sibarita wasn't sure how to feel about it. Boy were we wrong. Swung by for a late take out dinner one day and was greeted with a smile and Giant portions. The sauce was flavorful and the spicy ness had such a nice kick that has me drooling just thinking about it. The owner is super nice and truly loves the food. If you have a chance definitely go check this place out, we know we definitely will again. read more

New shop, has been getting some positive chatter. Stopped by on a saturday evening, it was pretty quiet. I had been hearing about warm customer service but I did not experience that part. It was more of a move-it-along vibe when I was there. Be aware now, although you will see the word "gyro" there, this is not at all a greek-style shop. When I asked about things like "gyro" or Tzatziki" all I got was a blank look. Its a "lamb sandwich" he says. There is no feta cheese. This is just a regular arab-style halal shop, so don't be expecting something else. The setup is a chipotle-type deal where the ingredients are all pre-made. The guy throws it together and the other guy takes it back and grills it up. Seems clean and fresh. This is pretty much a take-out shop only. There are some tables down a passageway towards the back, but it was 90 degrees back there and empty. You specify what ingredients you want and they make it up the way you like it. I got the lamb sandwich ($11). The lamb was the usual pre-processed cubes, good size, on the rubbery side but not bad tasting. Simple menu but good. Overall not a bad value for the price. They are the only shop in the area open this late (2:00 AM on fri-sat) so this can be a good option for night owls. Will be back to try other menu items. read more

I rarely ever leave reviews, but I felt like I had to with Tasty Chicken Box! Upon pulling up, the restaurant is very tiny and I could see how it could be missed from the main road, but this place is truly a hidden gem! I walked in to a very friendly hello and a warm welcoming from the staff and chef, I explained how it was my first time there. They were very patient and walked me through how to order. I asked what was popular and they were very eager to point me in the right direction of what sauce combinations were best! The portion size was great and the food looked and tasted fresh as ever! I would have taken a picture but I was selfish and wanted it all to myself! Take my word for it and PLEASE make Tasty Chicken Box your next meal! read more

Its great to see this new addition to the neighborhood. The lamb in the combo over rice was great. (The chicken was good too, but the lamb really shines.) The chicken shawarma sandwich was great too. We wanted to try the falafel, but there were out of it. We also ordered hummus - while it was good, I'm not sure we'll order it again given the high price for a small container. We will definitely be back for lamb over rice and more sandwiches. read more

I can't speak positively enough about this new addition to the neighborhood. My order was ready ahead of time. The man who greeted me was incredibly friendly and welcoming to the point that when he said "see you next time" I said he would, without even having tried the food! I told him I placed a second order for a soda, and he said he wished he had known, he would've just given it to me. Brought my food home, and the portion is generous for the price and area. The sauce is super flavorful too! Just the right level of spice. All in all, definitely a 5 star experience. No notes. I can't wait to come back and support this local gem. read more

Very good food. Nothing questionable, delivery can be a risk, I've order from here several times. It's as close to what I can get in NYC. Portion sizes are good but there could be more meat, just a little more so it's hard to close the top would be perfect. An option for extra extra sauce or a generous amount in addition on the side would be nice. Sometimes you want to drown the food in the sauce, it's that good. All veggies on the side are fresh and crisp just like they should be. Approaching five stars with just a few minor adjustments. read more

Pretty tasteless. The tabbouleh was just parsley, onion, and tomato--no burger wheat and hardly any lemon juice. The falafel sandwich was bland. It was disappointing. read more

What an excellent little take out joint with a few seats inside and a counter with stools outside. First time, but not the last. Upon entering, we were greeted with a sample cup of rice, chicken and lamb with an amazing red sauce! Hubby had mixed meats combo and I got the chicken shawarma pita wrap combo. Both were over the top excellent! The fries were hot, crispy, and well seasoned. The portions are huge! We both could only eat half but wow, so flipping good! Everything was fresh and yummy. And the service was great too! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Finally got to try this new place and I'm so glad it's in the neighborhood! Portions are generous and the food is so delicious. Ibrahim was so friendly and kind - we will definitely be back! Surprised more people don't know about it. Glad they don't close too early, such a good late night eat read more

Nice people but average food. Lots of great kebobs houses in the arlington area with far better food...Ravi Kebob and Amoos are just a few

Not your average middle eastern chicken and rice place. The spices are unreal, the portions are generous, and the price is affordable. Reminds me of the kind of hole in the wall that's so common in New York, and sadly rare in DC. Get the combo, and get both sauces. The tabbouli was fresh and a nice add on at only 99 cents. Hope this place does well. Service (Ahmad) was quick and friendly. Feels like more of a carryout operation for now, not a lot of seating. Will be back. read more

It was really good... surprisingly good. I got the half chicken/ half lamb. The toppings were good (the pickles put it over the top for me). The only thing I would change is the type of rice they use... something other than plain white. But the price... for that area.. is great. read more

Was at an event where Tasty Chicken provided the food for a buffet....Amazing food! Definitely recommend!!

Good food, great portions, super sweet people! If you want good food similar to halal guys, look no further, you found it read more

Decided on a whim to pick up some chicken tonight because it's on my way home. Everyone at the restaurant was so kind and welcoming. The food was super tasty with the perfect amount of spice. Overall an awesome place to drop in and pick up a quick dinner on a weeknight. The owner advised they'll be offering online ordering soon which will make it even more convenient. Super excited to have this place as a tasty pick up option! read more
