This is one of my favorite food trucks. I really like the Chicken & Mushroom special on Fridays. I don't know what they do to it but is so tasty (ha, get it) So when I can't get to Kebab Palace in Crystal City, this definitely gets the job done. But I must warn, this is a heavy meal, so I try and spread this out over two meals. read more

I think their chicken is fantastic, would eat here every other day! I recommend the chick peas and not the spinach, I thought the spinach was greasy and overcooked, but the chick pees were great. This stuck is always on my campus, so I would suggest getting the food if you are craving! and I also put alot of yogurt sauce on my chicken because it tastes delicious! Its 9 bucks a pop, but it almosts lasts me 2 meals. read more

This is a food truck many of my coworkers and I frequent, as they stop by our office on a regular basis. Overall menu selection is good, the biggest complaint here is that with 4 different trucks, they can sometimes be hit or miss. I ate it twice in the past two weeks, and the first time, with a Combination (half Lamb, half Chicken) over rice with Pita it was exceptional, 4/4.5 stars; this past week I ate here with a friend and had the same thing, and the chicken was a bit rubbery, and the cook way overloaded the sauce so the flavor balance was all out of whack. Overall this is a good place, but if you are looking to become a regular, learn who the better cooks are so you know when it's really worth it to go. read more

Hands down, my absolute favorite food truck in D.C. It may not be trendy or cutting edge, but Tasty Kabob delivers an excellent meal. The gyro on rice is pretty phenomenal, especially when mixed with the tzatziki and spicy chutney sauce. And I always order two of the curried chick pea sides, which have a nice heat and tenderness to them. Generally, I find most kabob trucks boring, lazy or uninspired, but Tasty Kabob offers a solid, reliable optionsl with big portions for a great price. read more

Used to love going to this truck, but, lately, what used to be generous portions have turned stingy, even if I order extra meat. So I think I'm done. read more

Tasty Kabob - This is extra meat? - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Not a huge truck afficionado, but if Tasty Kabob is any indicator, I might become a fan after all. Energetic young men push their orders out quickly and keep the line moving. I got mine in under a minute - kept me from getting soaked in the sudden rain. The portion size is very good, tastes great, even the spinach had a lot of flavor. I opted for no salad after reading a couple of other reviews about the lackluster lettuce experience. Hot, quick, fresh, tasty - these guys are doing it right. One star off for slightly soggy spinach and the price - $10 is a bit high for me. At $8 I'd make this a twice-weekly meal, but not for $10. read more

I have been coming to this truck in Foggy Bottom since I started grad school 3 years ago. I always get the lamb over rice, spicy. Honestly it is not really that spicy and they just add essentially hot sauce to it, but that's ok with me. It is also a bit expensive ($10) so I go there when I want to treat myself (e.g. after submitting a paper). I often bring colleagues and visiting scholars here as well and they love it. There are not many quick, locally-owned options in Foggy Bottom with delicious food, so Tasty is my go-to. What really brings me back time and again is the friendly service. The guys seem to recognize you and genuinely ask how you're doing. Most recently I had forgotten to get my receipt for reimbursement purposes and they literally dug through the stacks until they found mine. For that kind of service I will remain a loyal customer. read more

I am eating as I am reviewing this :-P I'm having the lamb on rice with spinach on the side. I am LOVING this! The lamb, in particular, got my two thumbs up...it is very tender, flavorful and they gave me quite a lot for nine dollars. No strong smell whatsoever...it is delicious! Rice and spinach are decent...nothing spectacular about them, but they are not bad either. Staff are really friendly...so that's always a plus. read more

This is a great truck to get when you are REALLY hungry. The chicken and rice platter was huge and extremely filling - but tasted great! I loved the chickpeas My only negative is that I was expecting it to be a bit... healthier.. considering I was ordering chicken, rice, salad and chickpeas. It ended up being a very heavy lunch. Can't knock them too much for that though, just have to expect it next time and be ready to save some as leftovers! Overall a very solid truck and a good value. read more

I'm downgrading a star for inconsistent quality. I still love this truck. I still eat here at least twice a month. With that said, the quality of the lamb is hit or miss. Usually hit, but I've gotten some pretty dry pieces on at least a few occasions. Same with the sauces... sometimes there's a lot, sometimes there's hardly any. I still say it's worth a try, but keep your fingers crossed that you hit up the truck on a good day. read more

Got lamb over rice today at the CNN building they didn't have salad and my lamb was over cooked and BURNT! Very disappointed. I won't be back! I would post a picture but I was so upset I threw the entire meal away. read more

I originally reviewed TK when they were new and I gave them 2 stars. They've since become the DC standard in kebab trucks. 5 stars!

I ordered delivery twice through postmates and it got cancelled. When I called to ask what was going on before I could explain I was hung up on. I didn't know it was closed because google lists it as open. That was rude and inconsiderate. They should list it as temporarily closed like other businesses have. It's not my fault they obviously don't know how to conduct business. I love their food but will never buy from them again. That is not how you do business. Customer service is a real thing and you should never treat customers that way. I honestly hope they close for good. read more

Tasty Kabob has become my usual Wed lunch! Love the chicken and rice with chick peas on the side! For $9 it's a large portion so be prepared to eat a lot and actually be full. Thank god for this truck, I almost gave up trying any of those trucks... the amount you spend didn't seem to get me even close to full but TK has changed that! I still haven't tried the lamb but I hear it's just as good! read more

I stumbled (literally) over this trailer (apparently there is also a truck) newly placed on Wilson Blvd. I say literally because I was in a Novocaine stupor, having just left the office in an adjacent building of an periodontist who had just whacked away on my teeth, gums and jawbone. I was starved, and the aroma from this trailer was so tantalizing I decided to try the offering, even though given the condition of my mouth I was skeptical of eating meat. I ordered rice, chickpeas, and spinach along with some lamb. When I started eating the lamb, it just melted in my mouth. It had obviously been perfectly marinaded, and was incredibly tender. At first I thought it was ground lamb, but upon closer look it clearly consisted of wonderful, succulent chunks of lamb. For $7 I don't know how they do it ( passed up the drink). I've been back four times since then (making detours to get there) and today got an extra meal for my Iranian-American dentist (he appreciated the Halal status even if he isn't very observant). I intend to keep going back there. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is, well, hey, it's a freaking food trailer, not a fancy restaurant! read more

Tasty Kabob was over by the Navy Yard Metro stop today. I picked up a chicken over rice platter then had to go back because they gave me a combo. The worker was nice and gave me a bottle of water for my trouble. But there were still a few small pieces of lamb in my platter. This grossed me out, and there were a few small pieces that I couldn't tell if it was lamb or chicken (was probably dark meat chicken but I don't know, I don't eat lamb and I was already grossed out). I don't know if the outside tasted like lamb or I was just imagining it after that. The chick peas had a pretty nice taste and were probably my favorite part of the meal. Only problem was that they served them to me cold. This may have been because they likely just opened, but this excuse didn't make them any warmer. I was so dissappointed by this experience, and will try to console myself with the free bottle of water. But so far it hasn't rinsed this undesired flavor out of my mouth. read more

One of my favorite DC food trucks out there! They usually come Fridays near my work and their chicken and mushroom rice plate is delicious! Get there a bit early to get it. I get there around 12:30, 12:45ish and they sell out. Another great alternative is the combo over rice (lamb and chicken) or lamb over rice. The price certainly matches the portions and taste! read more

My husband and I were exploring the city and came across a stress full of food trucks. We quickly parked and decided to give them a try as a lot of them catered to a halal diet. Our first stop was tasty kabob we're we sampled an orange chicken that was so good we placed an order for chicken biryani with the orange chicken with spice. They chicken was so good with the rice but it was really spicy I really enjoyed it but my husband who's not a big fan of spicy food couldn't take another bite. Go here and try the orange chicken with rice but be warned it's really spicy with tons of flavor! read more

Tasty Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

These guys keep pumping out trucks like the Duggar family keeps pumping out kids and I just want to scream "what is wrong with all you people?" These are not good kabobs. The meat is disgusting, over-spiced and downright gross. There are so many better kabob (meat/rice/pita) trucks -- try Royal Chicken or DC Kabob & Grill or DC Shawarma. These guys have a fleet of spiffy trucks and do a lot of social media with the GW crowd but the food is terrible. read more

The service is great and the food is good. I like the cut of the Gyro meat and the rice is REALLY good. The sauces could be spicier/stronger and the fact that I can order a Meat and Rice combo and not be charged extra for a pita on the side is nice. read more

A disappointing and overhyped experience. But let's start with the basics: they don't give you a bag when you take your food, so people carry the plastic box in their hands. You also have to get the fork and napkins, so carrying all that in your hands -- without a bag -- is very annoying, especially if you have to walk for more than 5 min. or open doors. There's a truck called "DC Kabob & Grill" which supplies a plastic bag with your food, but this one doesn't. The food doesn't rise above the average level of mediocrity in DC. The meatballs are too salty, the rice and spinach are "cafeteria-type" and not tasty, and the chicken isn't really white chicken breast, it's rougher cuts (irregularly-shaped). Again, there are trucks that sell a true "Shish Kabob" with real white meat (real "cubes" or chunks), but that's not the case here, they don't make shish kabobs. Their chicken is closer to the type you get at a fast-food Chinese joint. For some weird reason, this is an insanely popular truck and always has long lines, but it doesn't quite make the cut for me. read more

chickpeas were good. but that's about all i could eat from my plate, since everything else was drizzled with dill sauce. which i explicitly asked them to leave out three times. it would have been OK if it were dill yogurt sauce, but based on the yelp reviews below it appears mayo-based. it's part terrible tuesday and part mayophobia, but in either case i can't justify giving these guys anything more than one star. there was no line, and i told both guys manning the truck to nix the sauce. if i get desperate i guess i'll try them again, but will certainly check the contents before walking off... read more

Good god street food seems to be the hottest area of food in the DC area. In my mind when I used to think of something off a cart I thought of the NYC classic, either a hot dog or a pretzel (or maybe some nuts). But now I can walk less than a block from my office and get delicious food for a reasonable price. And for the price the odds are that you are going to come away satisfied and and full from a delicious meal. My biggest problem is picking which place to visit, but from my history with this place I find myself in this line more often than not. read more

The flavor of the chicken is gross. It's also drowning in some sort of white sauce resembling ranch dressing with like one leaf of lettuce and an onion in a pita. No, just no. read more

What's up, Tasty Kabob? Now you're "NY Famous Kabob" and serving lots of spinach with rice, instead of delicious chickpeas? And the chickpea recipe has changed to something not as great? Not cool, guys. Not cool. read more

I recently followed my nose to Tasty Kabob Mobile Truck. They serve chicken or lamb, which you can have over rice, salad or on pita. Their menu also features a vegetable platter and a couple rotating dishes based on day-of-the-week. It was a Wednesday, so Meatball Kebob was their special offering, and I was hoping to try that. Imagine my sadness and overall disappointment when I go to order and they tell me the don't have the Wednesday special!! I went a little before 12, so they had only been open for 30 minutes. They either prepared a very small amount or they hadn't brought it that day. Since I was hungry, and the smells coming from the truck still piqued my interest, I asked the gentleman serving the food which he preferred (lamb) and which style (over rice), and told him I liked it spicy. Personally, I am not a fan of gyro meat, so I made a point of asking the guy if the lamb platter was gyro meat or chucks of lamb, to which he answered chunks of lamb. He had it half correct, it was chunks of gyro meat. They were served to me over a bed of rice, turned orange by a combination of turmeric and other spices, and it was absolutely doused with hot sauce and yogurt sauce. The tastes were pretty typical of gyro: lamb, spices, salt, with a hint of that processed-meat taste. The rice was a little bland and under cooked, and every other bite tasted of hot sauce (kind of like Frank's Hot Sauce). The side salad was just romaine lettuce, tomato, red onion and yogurt sauce, and doesn't merit much mention. The spinach was my favorite part, it had an interesting taste of spices I can't name, but wanted a little salt. I can't say I had a great impression of the food, but it wasn't terrible. It was a typical gyro-meat platter. I'm not sure if I would go back to this food truck, unless they actually had their Wednesday Meatball Kebob. I recommend this place to people who love gyros and Frank's Hot Sauce. read more

So I want to be clear, this place is absolutely worth getting! However it's not knocked out of the park. The lamb is phenomenal. The rice was a weird texture, it was more like short noodles. The salad absolutely left something to be desired. Also the spinach was pretty watery. I will say that this flavorful cuisine was good to try and I would suggest it to anyone. However if I see this food truck in the line up again outside my office, I'll skip it. read more

The chicken and mushrooms is fantastic. A Friday tradition among our coworkers.

I want to send a big "THANK YOU" to Tasty Kabob for venturing into NoMa to bring us some much yearned for Food Truck awesomeness. Every Wednesday these guys are parked in front of the Harris Teeter on M Street and it's made Wednesday's my favorite day of the week (ok that's a lie- Friday's are definitely my favorite day). Wednesday's also just happen to be when they serve their meatball special which has become one of my most favorite meals in the world! I get my meatball special with the chickpeas, which are stewed until deliciously tender and are so good I would eat a bucketful of them on their own, and a salad. It's all delicious. Don't pass up on the spicy sauce, it delivers a nice kick and won't burn your face off. I had Tasty Kabob for the first time in the late summer of 2011. In the fall I went out on maternity leave for 4 months and I was craving a meatball special like you would not believe! When I finally got one upon returning to work it was a happy day! Definitely give these guys a shot. I've never been disappointed. It's one of those meals where when you bring it back to work people will be stopping by your office asking what you're having because it smells so good! read more

Had the lamb gyro for lunch from this food truck yesterday and it was very good. The lamb was tender and very flavorful, the dill sauce (kind of like a thin tzatziki) was well seasoned, and it was a good-sized portion. My only complaint is that it was a little greasy, but not enough that I won't likely get this again. Definitely interested to try some of the other dishes and sides. Luckily, though, the gyro was big enough that I didn't need any sides and for a good price. read more

this good truck is great. The first time I tasted it I was a little inebriated so I decided to try it again and I have not stopped. I love the lamb. Its super tender and just great. Also the portion you get is enough for dinner and a mid night snack. One of my favorite food trucks read more

OMG! My tastebud memory can still recall the flavours right now as I type this. They came to my daughter's school for the Fall Festival event just a few weeks ago and I'm so glad we decided to stay for dinner. It was SO yummy!! We got the Lamb Kabob on seasoned rice with Chick Peas and Salad on the side. I wish they are somewhere close but, alas, no. Will have to find out where they go and see if any of the locations are in reasonably reachable distance for me ..... oh, Tasty Kabob, come back to me! read more

There's not very much that's tasty about Tasty Kabob. I am re-reviewing this place after tasting their chicken. In my previous review I mentioned how chunks of gyro meat over rice does NOT constitute "lamb" kabob. The chicken looked like it should be tasty, but it was pretty bland considering. The only thing remotely tasty about tasty kabob is the rice. The chickpeas still taste like they're in a baked beans sauce, and I don't like cooked spinach so I'm not trying that side. This truck is extra disappointing because walking by, it does smell quite good. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE i used to love this truck but i recently got food poisoning. it's not worth the risk

I go to the Tasty Kabob on the GWU campus and these guys have been my to-go standby. I get the lamb gyro and the chickpeas, and haven't been disappointing yet. All in all a really solid truck, keep up the good work. read more

The mild chicken and chick peas side are my favorite!!!! The spinach side is not that flavorful and a little too watery for my liking, but overall good portion size for the price and yummy! read more

The thing that stood out the most was the Gyro meat (lamb). Very good consistency and good taste. I thought the chicken was alittle under spiced. Rice was on par with other kabob places. Spinach is above average. However, chickpeas was alittle bland. read more

Tasty Kabob - Chicken and rice (chickpeas and spinach) - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Veggie platter is not good. You get rice, chickpeas, spinach, limp salad. Everything was unexpectedly covered in yogurt sauce; had I known they would do that I would have requested they leave it off. The spinach was kind of oily. read more
