Delicioso el servicio excelente gracias por sus ambientes limpios. Recomiendo este restaurant

Friendly customer service, the food was top-tier, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and peaceful. The staff are very welcoming!

I've been coming to this place for nearly 10 years. The decor has had some issues, but has recently been updated -- also hygiene has also improved overall. Make note that this is not a full-fledged restaurant-- so nothing fancy, leave that out of the equation. However, food is fantastic, tasty, fresh and authentic. I love the gyros, and the many other dishes as well. The naan and veggie samosas are exquisite. Too many other eateries like this have been "Americanized", with short-cuts and poorly prepared knockoffs -- but this one serves real dishes from Middle East cuisine menu. Service is good, but then they are usually very busy! The head cashier knows me by sight, and my stomach knows what it likes -- and I recommend you visit! read more

So I used to live in West Alex and this was my favorite kabob place, hands down. My go-to was the boneless chicken kabob with extra chickpeas. Yum. Moved to Falls Church and barely get to Z Kabob anymore. Had a chance to go today and was excited when I arrived; new menu, they upgraded the register area and it appears as if there was new staff. Sorely disappointed once I tried the food. Don't get me wrong, the chicken was delicious and moist. The naan was thick and tasteless. My favorite chickpeas were now very greasy and flavorless. I unfortunately ordered an extra side of chickpeas which cost me $4.99 that I'm not sure I'm even going to eat. The customer service was friendly but food quality and taste have changed. I doubt I'll be back again. read more

Z Kabob - Cockroach in my food - Middle Eastern Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Came here for a quick lunch on a Saturday while shopping. I didn't see the Yelp reviews and I'm glad I didn't because it would have most definitely deterred me away from the place. Boyfriend and I thought the place would be a middle eastern spot based on the way it was decorated from the outside as well as the inside. But when we got in it was more so just a halal south Asian restaurant that just happened to also serve our favorite chicken over rice dish. The restaurant offered the usual curries and biriyanis as well as lassis and chai. So we got the chicken over rice (me) and the combo over rice (him) and a side of desi spiced chai. The chicken/combo over rice tasted like a fusion of Indian and traditional halal street cart style food. The chicken was clearly tandoori chicken chopped up into bite sized pieces. The rice was so well seasoned. Overall, yummy and quite filling. We both couldn't finish our food so got a doggy bag to take home. Our total came out close to $35 which was a little bit more than what we would have wanted to pay for lunch but the food was delicious and well worth it. We might stop by again after we have tried all the neighboring restaurants. read more

Z Kabob - I got 2 naans for 4 dollars. But received 1 green sauce. I dont get it, does the 2nd order of naan not receive a green sauce? - Middle Eastern Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

If you like booger in your food then eat at z kabob. The rude cashier/manager/ or whatever he was kept cleaning his nostrils with his hands then handled money and food. Gloves, tissue, and etiquette lessons are in order. The Health Department will have a ball inspecting this gross place. It just did not look sanitary. I wish I had taken a video to post here. I do not recommend eating there and will not return myself. read more

If you're looking for ambiance, this strip mall restaurant isn't going to do it. However, this hidden gem is a great spot for yummy kabobs of all sorts. A platter comes with kabob of your choice, rice, naan, and a side. The Karan's are all fresh and very flavorful. The sides are so so, but I'd recommend the chickpeas (chana). read more

Z Kabob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I ordered one item on a quiet Sunday night at 7:00pm. Two customers stood nearby waiting for their orders. I waited and waited. After 20 mins I asked for my Chicken Biryani, was told 'one minute.' At 50 minutes I had had enough. I asked for a refund so I could get on with my night. I had three kids waiting to eat. He shouted at me that they 'are very busy and No refund!' I got my food *52 minutes* after ordering. It was missing the tomatos/limes/sauce to boot. It's not all that to begin with, but that service seals the deal. Bye Felicia. read more

The worst restaurant ever. I went there with my family and ordered 2 meals. The first meal was ok but the 2nd was really old chicken and my wife was not able to eat it. We tried to replace the meal with another one but the owner got really nasty with us. He started yelling and say the food is good and he would not return or replace the meal. That was the last time for me. The owner is very unprofessional and has an attitude. I would not suggest this restaurant to anyone it nasty and the owner is even nastier. read more

I used to come here twice a month when I first moved to NOVA. But the last year, the portions have decreased and prices increased. I stopped coming here 6 months ago, but today, I wanted to give them a try again today. Chickpeas bowls were down sized, the plates were changed to smaller ones. I didn't get any salad which is included in the lunch, once I asked for it, I got a cup that's half ice and half lettuce. Chicken was good, chickpeas were runny, salad was, well half ice half lettuce, don't let greed be the reason you keep losing customers. Thanks for the meal, but I'm heading back to Royal Kabob moving forward. read more

This place has the worst food ever. Do not ever go here if you see this review.! I ordered a simple order of chicken kabob and the kabob they gave me were like rock hard inside out. No taste what so ever. Very old. Could not eat the food because on the third bite I start getting sick feeling and was not able to eat anymore. Waste of money! Extremely disappointed. Will never go here again. read more

I'm not a fan of Ravi's, but I am a fan of Z Kabob! The guy who works there is nice, but a little quiet - he recognizes us because my husband and I frequent this place tons. We always get the lamb chops meal (those lamb chops are seasoned so well - kind of salty, very flavorful, char-grilled to perfection (about a medium), and sooo juicy. They don't even have a 'game-y' or a 'lamb-y' flavor, which I like. I love their Butter Chicken - the sauce is amazing, and I dip the bread in it; not too tomato-y, more creamier with cream, and has a good smokey flavor to it. Their chickpeas? I think this place has the best ones. It is always perfectly cooked, and whatever seasonings they use is just out of this world. I can just eat that with the rice all day long. Try this place out - it's a little hole-in-the-wall, and the prices are comparable to any other kabob places. Parking is kind of a pain, since there aren't any stop signs and people zoom around the lot; a lot of car/foot traffic. +best chickpeas! +lambchops! +Butter Chicken! read more

I love z kabob. The lentils are incredible, I would pay for the recipe. Butter chicken is great but not the best. All curries are good. The bread is a winner here. Samosas are very good. Spinach and potatoes are good. Sometimes a little salty. Over all I dine here 2-3 times a month. Guess ownership changed. Everything changed... portion is smaller. Quality is less. Lentils suck now. Gave this place a few more tries and each time failed. Very rude staff as well.. price is higher as well. Not going back. I have been here over 100 times in the past.. read more

Seekh Kabob wasn't tender, very hard. The service take long time. Their special is not really a special deal, it's just what they made that day. The bread was good though. read more

Z Kabob - Inside the restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I tried so hard to like this place. It's in my neighborhood and so convenient. The lamb kabob wraps are so good when done right, but the kitchen is rarely able to do the one thing I ask, don't put onions on my sandwich. The tiny buffet is full of oil and I was told I couldn't even purchase additional chutney. After about two years of trying to get a good sandwich here, I've given up. read more

I used to eat here frequently with my friends, but the management may or may have not changed a few times. Anyways I really enjoy their Butter Chicken and their delicious bread. The rice is plain and white. Nothing to ride home about. Overall a terrific portion, but the quality isn't what it used to be back in 2015ish... read more

The kabobs, gyros, and spinach are all very good. They are usually friendly but can be a bit rough sometimes and the wait can take a while, so don't come if you're in a hurry. Really no decor or ambiance, just a deli type feel to it. I went from a 4 to a 3 because I have come here two different times well before their closing time (25 mins. one time) and was turned away. One time they said I could only get the options up front and the other time they said they had closed the kitchen. Change your hours or else serve folks up until you close. read more

Ordered two chicken kabob wraps and two veg samosas to-go. Both were very good. In and out in 10mins.

Sadly to say this place is not good anymore. I used to come here often back and on the days. I though of ordering lamb chops but $25 for 3 lamb chops seems expensive. I went with lamb kabob. It was okay one piece was hard to chew but t the rest were ok. The bread was good but the rice was cold. I don't think quality is good anymore. The bathroom was disgusting, dirty. look like they haven't clean it in weeks. The toilet is detached from the floor, not steady at all. You can't even sit on it. I understand COVID hit restaurants hard and they are straggling but with expensive food at least clean/repair bathroom. I hope you clean your kitchen too. This place was empty at 7:20pm. Wonder why? read more

Cheapest and dirty ownerships I never seen such pathetic food in my life .They charge me $18 for nothing for little food.

The portions are plentiful and the meat tasted quite different (in a good, authentic manner). We could tell immediately that the grilled lamb and beef was nothing like Moby Dick's. Chick peas were good and bf actually got two sides instead of one since they were closing soon and I guess they didn't want the sides to go to waste. read more

Z Kabob makes a tasty lamb kabob. The lamb was tender and marinated, so it had lots of flavor. Rice was good and chickpeas were spicy, which is appreciated. Naan and salad were the least exciting parts of the meal. I love naan so that was a little sad. I also had a samosa, and it's actually one of the better ones I've had. It is flavorful and crisp. Staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and there are plenty tables if you are eating in. read more

Food was okay but left my phone in bathroom. Went back within 15 seconds and it was gone. Threaten to call police and phone reappeared. I will never go back there. Not good people that work there. BE AWARE! Some from the kitchen attempted to use the bathroom when I went. They came immediately after I left and saw my phone. Very shady, dishonest men. They will go down one. That was a cause terrible. Look and feel very dirty as well. JUST PLEASE STAY AWAY. This happened last year and I thought not to write the review. Rode pass it today and say yes. People need to be. Warned. read more

Conveniently located in falls church village, this place has the standard kabob menu like other pakistani curry in a hurry places in the area. The combos come with curry or kabab and a side, rice and naan (bread). The food is above average, prices are fair, the TV has CNN and they do not know how to spell samosa, they call it sambusa which leads me to believe they are from the area near the afghanistan border. Also notable is a picture of the Taj Mahal, the ultimate monument of love between a man and a woman (which is in india of course) and the menu which refers to indian spiced tea 'chai' as pakistani/ kashmiri tea which seems like a good way to convey a political message, but no matter what dishes get renamed, the kashmir region will always remain a part of india. Needless to say, i did not order the tea. general note: all these kabob places are stingy with the yogurt sauce which they don' t seem to get is that this sauce should be liberaly doled out, it costs .00001 cent to make a serving and .02 cents for the container read more

I use to eat there once a month because my office is close by. It was really good. However, i think its under new management or owners. I ordered the Gyro and it was horrible. I think they used lamb patties and cut them up. Will not go back! read more

This used to be Rawal Kabob, no idea why the name changed. For quick eats, its perfect. Kabobs, gyros, etc. The meat is good. And whe the meat is good, I am happy. Today's choice was their version of a gyro, tandoori chicken gyro! It's quite large so go with an empty belly like I did. And in the tradition of simple Indian/Pakistani food places they had a water cooler and stacks of cups on the side. This place is no fuss, and sometimes the wait for food can be a little long, but its worth it. read more

The food isn't bad, but I'm never going back there because the cashier refuses to give or sell me an extra yogurt sauce. Then I found out he will give them to my sister with no problem. I gave the restaurant one last chance, when I asked for an extra yogurt sauce, he gave me attitude and said that I had a yogurt. What sort of bonehead loses a regular customer over a 25 cent condiment? Back to the Kabob Palace, a little out of my way, but better, consistent food without the attitude. read more
