    Chicken kabob
    Alanna P.

    Ordered a Chicken kabob meal and it was perfect! The chicken was so incredibly juicy and flavorful. The naan was perfect and the rice was very tasty. Service was fast and everything was very affordable for the area. I definitely recommend!

    My lunch special! Not pictured was the bread which was a huge piece!

    Back in the area, and stopped in for another delicious meal. Food: Gyro platter sandwich included a lot of meat which was nice and flavorful. Chicken lunch kebab special was just as large and tasty as last time. Plenty of food for two meals. The gentleman gave each of us in our party of four a small cup of coup which was very tasty. The gentleman who took our order was very nice and he also was the one who prepared it, and everything was done well. It seemed that it had been renovated inside and we sat inside to eat while our gold was hot.

    One of my go to kabob restaurants in the area! Really good food and great customer service. Staffs are always very nice and friendly! If you have large orders they always help you carry the items to your car. I always have a great experience every time I go there.

    This place is easily accessible from Springfield. It's more of a takeout place but there are around ten chairs if you want to stop by and eat. The Super Combo has Lamb, Beef and Chicken. The beef had a lot of flavor. The chicken was moist and tender as well as the lamb. This combo is huge so it's definitely shared. I ordered the potato curry as my side. I just ordered an extra Naan and boom, dinner for two. I will certainly be coming back.

    Super Jumbo Kabob

    Lesson learned. Stick with what you know, and you can't go wrong. My wife and I hadn't visited this place in a year. The good news is that Ali is still the owner. The bad news is that when he's away, the food isn't as good tasting. Come to find out, he's off on Sundays, and we visited on a Sunday. We tried a new dish instead of our usual gyro sandwich and lamb chops. We shared a Super Jumbo Kabob. It had Quabili Palau and Chalau mixed together and one skewer of each: lamb, chicken, and shami. It was supposed to be served with meat sauce. If you look at my photo, you'll see that the meat sauce was missing. It came with a side dish, Afghan naan, and two sauces. One sauce was green and very spicy hot. The other was white and tasted like mayonnaise with seasoning and herbs. It wasn't tzatziki sauce because it didn't have yogurt. Unless it's a new version because the tzatziki sauce we had before didn't taste like this. The sauces were edible and forgettable. 1) Quabili Palau and Chalau Chalau is an Afghan rice dish made of basmati rice, oil, spice, and salt. The spice is usually cumin. The Chalau here is made with brown basmati rice instead of white. It had a light curry and nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness and saltiness. Quabili Palau was raisins, onions, spices, and sweetened carrots added to the Chalau. It was rather sweet. The taste grew on me. 2) Lamb Kabob It was marinated and broiled. One end of the kabob was cooked well, and the other end was somewhat dry. It had light flavors of garlic and spices. The spices were mildly hot with flavors like paprika, coriander, cumin, and ginger. It was okay. 3) Chicken Kabob It was chicken breast meat that was tender, moist, and flavorful. The chicken was coated with a red marinade that tasted like tomato, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. The flavors were balanced and worked well together. It was cooked well except for some charred edges. This was the best kabob. Everyone there who was eating a kabob had this one. 4) Shami It was a mix of ground beef and minced beef that was lightly seasoned with spices. It was described as ground beef, but that's not what we got. The beef was easy to chew but dry. It had very light flavors of cumin, clove, garlic, salt, and pepper. The blend didn't help the savoriness of the beef. I don't advise getting this. 5) Sabzi This was our side dish. It was supposed to be fried spinach. It was boiled. The missing fried flavor was disappointing. It was better before. The spinach was in an oily sauce that had light flavors of coriander, salt, pepper, and garlic. The sauce was good. 6) Afghan Naan It was much larger and thicker than other naan. The crust was crisp, and the crumb was fluffy, soft, and chewy. It had a toasted flavor with a hint of salt. The service was polite, responsive, and helpful. The dining room and restrooms were clean and somewhat worn looking. They have self-serve plasticware, straws, napkins, and green tea with cardamom. The tea was free. They are located in a shopping center with free parking. The food wasn't very good except for the naan and chicken kabob. We'll return on a day when the owner is here, and then I'll write an update. The old adage is true. When the cat's away, the mice will play.

    Ordered the A7 - shami kabob. Friendly joyous ambiance. The food was well flavored and the spices danced together with a harmony that heats the soul. I was kindly given soup during my short wait for the kabob dish. Great service!

    I was in the mood for kabobs after running errands and Yelp said this was one of the better places in the area. It's funny I use to eat next door all the time and never realize this was here. Behind the unassuming storefront is a great restaurant. At first impressions, I thought it would be okay since it was empty besides another person, but it was too early for dinner. The guy at the front was polite and nice. He even offered a bowl of soup each while us waited for our carry out! That chicken soup was surprising, with a good kick of spice! I got the combo kabob (beef and shami) and the chicken seikh kabob. It definitely was one of the better meals in the area. The beef chunk kabob was okay; it was a bit tough. The shami and chicken seikh was really good. I was most impressed with the chicken one. I usually avoid ground chicken but my fiancé wanted to try it. Safe to say, I will definitely revisit this establishment and would recommend it!

    Chicken and gyro combo with side of lamb sauce was yummy.

    These kabobs are great! I usually get lamb kabobs and chickpeas. Each time the meat has been tender and tasty. Definitely check them out!

    Right next to the 7-11 in Burke lies a hidden gem that serves so much delicious food! If you are…read moreever in the mood for wraps/sandwiches/burgers, this is the place for you. What also makes this place stand out is definitely the hours. For someone that's a night owl, this is great for late night food in Burke. There's not much options either and I think we could always use more options like these. I got the BBQ Wrap which was a wrap filled with Chicken Tenders, Fries, Cheese, Lettuce, and BBQ Sauce. I can't really complain about the portion you are getting. It is a lot for the price alone and it's worth every single dollar. You may need to be patient as I only saw one person manning the whole store and I think I came at a time when it was near closing. Please support this place. We need more places like these in Burke!

    This place has a great potential!! Really! You all should try it! The photos of other Yelpers was…read moreshowing great food! The owner and his wife works there themselves, with their dedication, hard work and kind heart they will provide you with the best experience ever! The conversation with owner was very interesting to know how they are doing their best to take this business too high to the skies where dreams has no ends and prayers are answered! Also how they are keeping their family business recipes and traditions from overseas! I believe one day we will see more locations! They have a counter for dine in but I'm looking forward to set on the 2 tables outside when the weather gets warmer or also the two picnic tables under the trees! Looks nice! This time I took my nephew with me and we ordered a Beef Pepperoni Pizza! I also ordered the same items that went wrong the last time! The triple dasher smash burger and THE WRANGLER! My nephew LOVED the beef peperoni pizza and this 17 years old youngman knows his pizza and is a picky pizza eater ! I tried a slice too! Oh! The beef peperoni was yummy! The cheese!!! But the sauce needs to improve however overall the experience was AMAZING! The triple smash burger this time was perfect! It was juicy but not greasy! The bread was firm fresh and tasty! Also it's huge to fit the wide big burger patty! It's good stuff! I like that! The sauce they use is really nice and the caramelized onions and cheese makes that burger so yummy!! Now to the bomb! To the real deal! To the actual reason why I've been there and why I returned and will go back again and again! Ladies and Gentlemen, THE WRANGLER !!! Double CRISPY CHICKEN Patty, Lettuce, Double Cheese, Chilli Cheese Sauce, Spicy Mayo OR Mayo Garlic Sauce!! This Sandwich reminds me of the Famous KFC Sandwich in Egypt , Dubai and the Middle East , the Mighty Zinger ! 2 huge crispy chicken with cheese, lettuce and mayo ! Also on a decent size bun that fits everything! The chicken was very well spiced and tasted amazingly delicious slightly spicy on the mild side with a hint of nostalgia. This time it was cooked to perfection! The cheese and lettuce with the spicy Mayo is an amazing combination and the nostalgia from that sandwich is the WRANGLER! This should be THE DMV NUMBER ONE CHICKEN SANDWICH I appreciate the owner's effort in making new Sandwiches and great ideas ! Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;)
