    Yum! Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The restaurant is clean and organized. No servers here, place your order at the counter and seat yourself. Employees are friendly, helpful, and quick. Our order was neatly wrapped. Tried their Kabob Platter, which was delicious! They also offer Wraps, Kabob Box, and Veggie Plate. Proteins include Chicken, Lamb, Chicken & Lamb, Meatball (on selected days), and Chicken Mushrooms. Sides include Chickpeas, Spinach, Potatoes, Okra, Side Salad, and Pita Bread. The meats were incredibly flavorful and the sides were all seasoned well. Nothing was overly spicy or salty. The rice was also fluffy and aromatic. They are generous with the portions, which is greatly appreciated. Cups, water, fountain drinks, napkins, plastic silverware are within reach. Restrooms in the back are clean. Can't wait to come back.

    The food was delicious! The chicken was moist and the white sauce was to die for!! Place was very clean and easy to order up front (chipotle style). Fast service. Def would go back and try the lamb

    If you love fast casual halal, @tastykabob has amazing lamb gyros! The baklava was very delicious and it is a cute spot to grab lunch! 1624 Boro Pl, Tysons, VA 22102

    The food was fresh and served quickly. The service was great it was only one person at the time but they were attentive to the ordering station while prepping for dinner. The space was clean and quiet. Would def go again before watching a movie at Showplace Icon!

    Props to the guy who was working all by himself when it was busy time Finally got a chance to check this spot out and it's pretty good! They give you generous portion sizes and the meat is delicious. They have different sides to choose from and different sauces to top off. I went with the chick peas and spinach - both were good. I think overall the sides are a little bland. They could have a little more flavor to them. The meat definitely makes it worth it. Will probably come back! Perfect quick meal before the movies!

    I can't believe I never knew this place existed. I love halal food and there is one in the Boro!! The service was great - in & out very quickly and the food was prepared neatly. I got the "Box" with rice and got both chicken and lamb. The chicken was slightly dry but they drench the platter with the white sauce. The white sauce had some dill taste to it l, which was interesting. I wish I got more of the red sauce - it was not spicy at all. It's a good option for a lunch spot if you work around there. The portions are a bit small compared to other places but definitely filled me up. Would highly recommend.

    I used to get Tasty Kabob often and stopped by yesterday to be disappointed with this chicken?? What happened to the original orange recipe?

    This review is given by my hubs, who have become this family's expert on Mediterranean food. He purchased the lamb and rice platter with potatoes and spinach as sides. He said that the lamb didn't taste gamey like the lamb that he has at most places. He said this restaurant's lamb tastes more like the lamb used in gyros. He also stated that the food was seasoned perfectly, and of meat given was a nice portion size.

    This was $15 bucks.... I'm Tyson's corner. It probably weighs about 3lbs and is delicious.

    Yoooo!!! I was mad surprised after eating at this place! We were looking for a quick bite to eat before watching a movie, and we saw this place on the directory. We were curious and came in. The employee was very welcoming and helpful since it was our first time there. He let us sample a piece of the chicken and lamb... yo we were SOLD! Both meats were seasoned just right (not overly seasoned at all) and very tender. I got a chicken and lamb platter with rice, salad, spinach, and okra. It was REALLY good! The white sauce and hot sauce were surprisingly really good; they were not overpowering at all and definitely complimented the platter. There was actually a pretty good amount of food packed into the container. Will DEFINITELY be coming back again if I'm ever around the Boro again

    Menu and Counter

    A lovely place to get a good portion of great food! According to the Tasty Kabob website, They "...hit the road back in the fall of 2010 when founder's John & Steve Hanifi envisioned bringing their favorite meals from their home country of Afghanistan to the people of Washington, DC. Since then, the father and son team has expanded to a fleet of 5 Clean Green Tasty Machines." This particular location is 1 store away from the corner of Boro Place and Westpark Drive. There is street parking or a parking lot to the west with lots of parking. The inside is set up like most restaurants where you enter in a line at one side of a counter. You choose your base, meat, sides, drinks, and desserts as you move down the line. The staff was very helpful and friendly for a newbie like me. They filled up the container. I had enough for 3 meals. There is a mix of tables spread around the eating area that is to the left as you enter. The dining area and store were clean from tables to floor. The price was reasonable at about $15 for the food and $4 for drinks. The food was excellent. I got a gyro and it had a very good taste to it. This is a good choice for a meal in the area and I liked it so much I plan to visit again and look for their other locations.

    Chicken and lamb gyro Combo platter on Pita (With 2 Sides)
    Jeremy N.

    My food was tasty - I went with the gyro and chicken combo. Gyro meat was a bit fatty and grainy for my offer preference but delicious flavor. Chicken was pretty much perfect. I enjoyed the chick peas side and the bread with the spicy green sauce, the white sauce and the tzatziki sauce. All of the sauces were nice, but that green was fresher than some of my other favorite kabob places. Service depended on who I was talking to. The owner was cooking and serving and running the register. And he was personable, helpful and genuinely likable. The other guy seemed inexperienced and couldn't answer any questions, but he was at least capable of scooping food. Inside was typical fast casual atmosphere. Hard surfaces and industrial lighting. Not my favorite look, but it's appropriate for a kabob place open until midnight.

    I got the chicken and lamb combination with chickpeas and potatoes & baklava From the chicken, to the potatoes, everything tasted so good & freshly made. You first pick a base, pick proteins & two sides! The chicken and lamb were so flavorful & packed with just the right amount of spices. The chickpeas and potatoes are so soft & just melt in your mouth. They have meatless options and they are very generous with their portions. I highly recommend you try their baklava, it was so crispy and the best one I've ever tried! Also, I love the aesthetic of this place! they're open late as well if you're looking for a late night dinner! I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back.

As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.

    Dear Joon Management,…read more My family and I have been regular customers at your restaurant since March because we truly enjoy your excellent Persian food. I have also brought many coworkers and friends to introduce them to your restaurant. Unfortunately, during every visit over the past several months, the rice has been excessively salty. It tastes as though salt was added to the rice rather than the rice being properly seasoned. In May, I brought eight guests, and nearly everyone left their rice untouched. In early July, I returned with four people, and once again no one ate the rice. We mentioned the issue to our waiter, who was very polite and said he would inform the manager and the cook. On the third Wednesday of July, I came with two friends, and once again none of us ate the rice. I spoke with the manager, who was very kind and assured me she would discuss the issue with the cook. Unfortunately, despite reporting the problem more than once, nothing has changed. If this had happened only once, I would not be writing this email. However, after several disappointing visits, I expected that our meals would have been replaced or that we would not have been charged for food that was left uneaten because of the overly salted rice. I respectfully request that you consider providing a refund or another appropriate resolution for our most recent visit. More importantly, I hope this issue is corrected so future customers can fully enjoy your excellent food. If our feedback is important to you, I would appreciate hearing from you. I would also like to share your response with the friends and coworkers I have encouraged to visit your restaurant. My name is David A., and my email address is Shirpelang@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, David A.

Everything was delicious, no weak dish in the bunch. The meatballs and falafel especially stood out, but honestly the whole table was clean by the end. We also tried the Fig Old Fashioned and the Hafizz Spritz. The Fig Old Fashioned was the standout of the night: bourbon sweetened with fig cordial and warmed with Angostura bitters. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and dangerously easy to drink. The Hafizz Spritz was refreshing too, cucumber, lime, and mint with gin, prosecco rosé, and elderflower, but the Fig Old Fashioned is the one I'm already thinking about ordering again. Great first visit. Will be back for social hour again.

The lamb had really good flavor too but mine was a little overcooked and a few pieces took more chewing and determination than I wanted to give them. Brown rice was delicious. Definitely not one of those sad side dishes you ignore. Now the chutney... I like to add a little salt, tear off pieces of the Afghan bread and dip away. So good. Add some sumac if you like a little sour kick and squeeze lemon over the kabobs. I really liked the open grill too. I swear I got put into a little trance watching the fire dance around the meat and hearing the occasional singe as the juices hit the flames. I know. What a geek lol. Chicken and lamb combo was $26 plus tax and a bottle of Coke Zero was $3.99, which apparently is where we are in life now. Almost four dollars for a bottle of Coke Zero. Fine. Take my money.
