    I kept seeing this place mentioned on Northern Virginia Foodies facebook page and everyone vouched for it on there, so while being in Ashburn had to give it a try. They were able to make me a spicy chicken kabob side and it was really delicious, cooked fresh to order and it was juicy. Ran me about $9 and the guy running the cashier, was very nice! Although I only tried the chicken kabob which was very good, I imagine everything else would be just as good! Definitely recommend trying this place it

    The ambiance isn't what you're paying for here; the food is absolutely delectable. The lamb chops were juicy, flavorful, tender - the side salad components were all fresh. The chicken was not too dry, while having they charred taste as well. I'm usually a harsh critic when it comes to red meat, but these guys do it well. I do find the food to be better quality when ordering dine in vs takeout here, not sure if that's a one-off scenario.

    I've never tried Afghan food, besides kabobs, so I was really excited to try some more Afghan dishes. Ashburn kabob did not disappoint! The kabob combo for 2 had an assortment of flavorful kebabs. The spices were great and the meat was juicy and had a nice charred taste! I also ordered the quabili palaw and this was one of my favorites! It came with a huge lamb shank and the rice was the perfect of savory and sweet, with the spices, raisins, carrots, and onions. I'd definitely recommend this, if you like lamb! I also ordered mantu, which is an Afghan dumpling dish, because I thought it was cool that the Korean word for dumpling, "mandu", is very similar. I enjoyed the leek filling and red meat sauce on top of the dumplings. Definitely get this dish! For appetizers, we got the banjan borani and the bolani. I loved the eggplant because it had a delicious tomato sauce on top. I put it on my pita and it was the perfect combo. The bolani was tasty, but I wouldn't order it again because the rest of the dishes came with pita and plenty of rice. I've never had afghan food before, so I can't vouch for the authenticity of the food here. But I really enjoyed it and am excited to eat here again!

    Classic Afghan food- nothing too special really. I thought the rice was really good but the koobideh wasn't my favorite, and will probably get joojeh kabob next time. Inside was quaint but cute, and they had great service. Overall good experience

    Good food. Kabobs were delicious. Mantu had way too much onion and too little beef, but still tasted good, nonetheless.

A normal person looks at a hamburger and asks, "Would you like cheese on that?" The people at MELT apparently look at one and ask, "How can we make this so extraordinary that customers begin questioning whether everything they previously called a burger was actually just meat occupying bread?" I ordered the Paris Burger: Premium beef char-grilled with roasted garlic, then topped with melted French Brie, balsamic-glazed onions, baby spinach, and a smear of Dijon mustard on a house-made bun. This ingredient list sounds less like a hamburger and more like several upscale appetizers became trapped in an elevator and decided to form a government. I do not know what kind of inspired nut job first assembled this combination, but everything contributes to everything else. The Brie, roasted garlic, sweet richness of the balsamic-glazed onions, spinach, and Dijon do not compete for attention; they cooperate with suspicious precision. The flavor is exquisite. This should not be placed in the same category as ordinary burgers unless the category is titled "Round Foods That Technically Contain Beef." And then there is the bun. Most hamburger buns eventually choose one of two career paths: Damp sponge or roofing material. This one rejected both. It was cooked to that nearly mythical point between soft and soggy, firm and crunchy. It supported the burger without collapsing, disintegrating, or scraping the roof of my mouth like an edible Brillo pad. Perfection. For a side, I ordered the sweet potato fries. They were already very good, which apparently was considered insufficient by the resident mad scientists. Someone had the completely unreasonable idea of serving them with marshmallow fluff. Marshmallow fluff. With sweet potato fries. This sounds like a suggestion made at 2:00 a.m. by someone who should have been politely escorted away from the kitchen. Instead, that person may be a genius. The combination is incredible. The salty sweet potato fries dipped in marshmallow fluff produced one of those moments when your brain objects on principle while your hand quietly reaches for another fry. This proves that not every insane idea is crazy; some merely require dipping sauce. I also had the Thin Mint shake, which was excellent except for the only legitimate complaint I could manufacture during the entire meal: It came with an ordinary straw. Every attempt to drink it became a small plumbing emergency when a piece of Thin Mint lodged in the opening. Sip, blockage, investigate, clear obstruction, repeat. I was not drinking a milkshake so much as performing routine maintenance on a delicious cookie pipeline. A proper milkshake straw would eliminate the one defect in an otherwise outstanding operation. This was not merely a good meal from a burger joint. It was a culinary experience disguised as casual food. The Paris Burger was phenomenal, the fries and marshmallow fluff were an act of benevolent madness, and even my complaint involves the shake containing too many actual pieces of Thin Mint to pass through standard beverage infrastructure. MELT is almost worth traveling to Virginia for by itself. If the people running this place are insane, nobody intervene. Whatever treatment would make them normal might ruin the menu.

When it arrived it appeared that I received the previously mentioned "steak tips" sandwiched between bread, with some condiments and cheese. Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know. I understand that restaurants will utilize ingredients across multiple dishes but this just seemed ridiculous.
