Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you--this place is an absolute treasure. When I walked in,…read morethe restaurant was cold, and no one was at the counter for the first five minutes, so I wasn't expecting much. Hence why I didnt take any pictures. But once I took my first bite, I was hooked. Hands down, this was the best gyro/pita-style sandwich I've ever had! I ordered a mix of lamb, chicken, falafel, and gyro meat, and every single bite was incredible. The flavors were bold, the meat was perfectly seasoned, and the sauces were out of this world. The bread, which was similar to naan, took everything to the next level--it was soft, warm, and perfect for wrapping up all that deliciousness. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful food that will blow your expectations out of the water, don't skip this place. It may not look like much, but trust me, it's worth it! I'm already planning my next visit.

After a long hiatus, the seventh installment of my "Kabob Kompendium" profiling various kabob…read morejoints in the DMV region broken down into a set of common criteria: 1) ethnic focus 2) kabobs 3) side dishes 4) rice 5) condiments 6) bread 7) x-factor (s) 1) Ethnic focus: Pakistani, although curiously they feature some gyro sandwich options 2)) Kabobs- a bit dry and lacking in the succulence factor, seasoning also appears superficial perhaps due to insufficient marinade time or just choice of breast meat rather than thigh for the chicken kabobs 3) side dishes- side salad is filler with iceberg lettuce and few cukes/tomatoes without dressing (substitute out), chickpeas were pretty standard with a hint of spice 4) rice-bland and perhaps slightly undercooked or intentionally more firm, but I prefer a more flavorful fluffy or moist rendition 5) Condiments- mint yogurt chutney with pleasant note of fresh mint and heat, not overpowering but necessary to perk up the bland aforementioned rice and dry chicken 6) Bread- puffy naan bread with nice buttery finish but becomes rubbery if not consumed immediately 7) x-factor- maybe it's the economy in general, but price point seems high, I got a BOGO special for the chicken kabob platter for $20 but I wouldn't necessarily pay for one meal at regular price. Overall, if chicken kabobs were on the Cheesecake Factory menu, this version would be on the skinnylicious menu for those counting calories and preferring a healthier less indulgent version since flavors seem muted and textures appear lacking due to insufficient oil/grease.

The front desk staff member at Zafron Restaurant was rude and unprofessional. He did not show…read moreproper respect to customers, and his customer service was very poor. At one point, when my friend and I mentioned that we had been waiting a long time for our food, a staff member responded sarcastically, saying, "We can't give you a ride in a car to bring your food." This kind of response was completely unnecessary, disrespectful, and unprofessional. It made an already frustrating situation even worse Mr. Atif and Kashif's behavior was even worse. They seemed frustrated by the crowd and ended up being rude to us.

I have not yet visited but will update my review once I have had the opportunity to stop by and check out the restaurant for myself! I called the restaurant & spoke to a very kind gentleman who I assume is the owner. He said they offer an open buffet at 7:30 pm (call for details) & will consider more things for customers in the weeks to come. I am hoping music & dancing will become part of their late night offerings! I expressed this interest while on the phone. Welcome to Woodbridge, Rayhan Grill!

It's well-seasoned and lightly crisp. The side of rice tasted really good, too. I like my falafel crispy so I give this one 10/10. My husband would like to add that lemon mint juice was also 10/10. The inside ambiance was little too quiet lol. I think next time we're going to sit outside because outdoor seating looks so cool with cute little lights. I would come back to try more food and sit outside with hookah. PS: I hope they add more salad on the menu.
