The space itself was cozy, and the wall decor made it feel warm and comfortable, perfect for a nice dinner with friends or family. The lamb skewers were so flavorful with generously-sized chunks of lamb on the skewer. I was so curious about the noodles and I'm glad we got the chance to try the gambian soman. You can tell the noodles were hand-pulled, they were so bouncy and absorbed the flavor of the meat (we got lamb) and the bell peppers so well. For dessert, we had the honey cake, which was also amazing. The cake layers were a little crumbly which complimented the cream layers in between, and the sweetness was perfectly, which I usually am cautious about when it comes to food sweetened with honey. I did end up coming back two days in a row because I was craving the lamb lol

Even though Eerkin lacks on the side of ambiance but it more than makes it up for it by the…read moreuppercut its food delivers. I have been to almost all the Ughyur food spots in the DMV and Eerkin is simply my favorite for several reasons. The food is served piping hot. Like pipe down hot or whatever you say... and it is darn delicious. This time around I went there on a date and even though the date went horribly wrong because the girl was telling me if I want to be with her I have to stop wearing shorts but as soon as I took a bike out of this Thawa Lamb Shank her voice became mute and all I could hear was the storm caused by the flavors in my mouth. Everything here tastes amazing, from the soft and chewy hand pulled noodles to the dumplings and the pilaf. I love this place. 5/5 I won't mind having more bad dates here.

This place probably deserves a 1 star rating based on the food but the restaurant is decent (big,…read moregood seating, clean bathrooms) and the person serving us seemed to understand that the food was underwhelming. Going back to the food, it was poor from beginning to end. The grape leaves tasted worse or at least as bad as some canned grape leaves. It was not fresh, you could tell from the rice inside and the way the grape leaves broke when you bit into them. The fattoush salad didn't seem to have enough parsley and mint and it was most a lettuce salad. The adeni tea was plain weird. It didn't taste like tea at all. The kabsa felt like rice had been mixed with curry. I guess that's why the guy was asking how spicy we wanted it. Typically that is not a question when ordering kabsa. The lamb chops were not good either. The meat was tough, as was the meat for some of the other dishes. It's unfortunate because we were excited to try this place ever since we saw that it was opening. There was maybe 1 other customer when we were there and I guess it makes sense now. Hope they improve or else they are going to struggle.

Kabobs are usually priced around the price that this restaurant has priced their menu items at so I believe it is fair. I cannot review for takeout, but for dine-in, there was enough food that I had leftovers and had to ask for a to-go box because I could not finish the rice. The food is flavorful, they add a lot of little touches like a slice of lime, two different sauces for you, and a giant piece of bread. Mango Lassi is $6 but is made fresh.

My husband had the Mongolian beef and loved every bite. And whatever you do, don't leave without trying the honey cake--it's the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Highly recommend!

This used to be one of our favorite spots in Fairfax, but since changing owners, both the food…read morequality and service quality have gone down significantly. Servers were watching a soccer game on the TV while we ate, and they failed to bring us water. We ordered the Korma Chop, pearl noodles, and cold skin noodles. All three dishes were mediocre at best and they brought out the cold skin noodles only after we had finished the Korma Chop and pearl noodles despite it being an appetizer. The noodle quality was subpar with no chew to it in all three dishes. In the end we had to go to the cashier to pay our bill because we couldn't get any of the servers' attention. Needless to say, we won't be coming back to this restaurant any time soon.

Usually Ragz and I share the double platter - 2 rows of either chicken breast pieces or the minced chicken with rice, salad and chickpeas. Platters are served with a massive piece of naan style bread as well. Their chicken is always moist and tastes good - thankfully the taste has remained consistent over the years. The rice has 2 flavors - a plain one and a flavored one. I like mixing them both together. The chickpeas are also tasty. The bread can be a lot honestly - we usually don't end up finishing it. Ragz really likes their beef kobideh too. Ambiance - I will be honest, I don't always feel comfortable going here by myself. It's usually filled with older looking men who sometime stare. I either order takeout and quickly rush in and rush out, or Ragz picks it up. I have also seen the owner be kind short with the folks that work here - mostly immigrant students and I really hope they get paid okay

Personally, I love this location and have not had any problems with the food or service. Although,…read moresometimes there can be long lines and waits since it's close to a university and bars. This is also because this location isn't too big, but it is always kept clean. The Halal Guys is my number one go to for quick food. I always get the regular combo platter. For the most part, everything is cooked and seasoned well and you get your food immediately. They are generous with the meat portions which I love. You truly get your money's worth in my opinion. Whenever I'm super hungry or after a night out this is the place I'll go. The manager at this location is also super friendly, and the staff is always professional.

Ordering on the app is nice for the points but they're hit or miss with special requests (lettuce and tomato on the side). Like other restaurants, ordering in person is always best (more accurate and more generous). I usually get the chicken platter with only lettuce and tomato and sauce on the side. Rice and chicken are seasoned well. They used to have a spicy hummus, which was actually spicy and delicious. I got their fries once and they're good and hold up well to time- not instantly soggy. I also love their pita bread- specifically the chopped up one and not the whole. It's softer and chewier. I will come back for good food and another stomach ache! Their hot sauce is my fave. Super flavorful, smokey, tangy, yum.
