The parking outside is a bit interesting but if you are coming in to pick up, it's not too bad but I can see this being packed at night. Parking can be limited for sure. Ranging from Rice Platters, Kabab Platters, Sandwiches, Wings, Tenders, Gyros, Salads, and Dessert, this place a lot for what it's offering. The staff were friendly and recommended me to try the Kabob platter after mentioning seeing that in the Menu. I ended up getting the Combo over Rice as it's my go to. Gyro Meat, Chicken, Cucumbers, Lettuce, over a bed of rice drizzled with White and Red Sauce. It is my go to meal and you can't go wrong with that. Since it was cold, the meal kept me warm and I was able to enjoy every bite as it was also filling. I could come back for more! This place is also open late, another reason why you should check out Zaytoun Halal Grill. It's great!

Not only from Afghanistan, but such diverse areas as Iran, Armenia and Turkey. My display photos do not do justice for the upgraded store. Very clean, too. The options of various products makes you want to stop and look at each item in the aisles. Included are a great bakery of course, and an extensive butchery. The quality md the prices for the breads are amazing! I am looking forward to my next visit!

Calling this place an "Afghan restaurant" is a disservice. Yes, that's the focus but it feels more…read morethan that. Most Afghan bistros tend to fall into one of two categories; mom-and-pop fast-food type places with an emphasis on kabobs, or dinner halls that serve a more upscale presentation of the same fare. This is something in the middle. It feels fancy, but it also feels like an eatery/take-out joint. The decor doesn't even scream 'Afghan food'. I went with a filet mignon dish; yes filet mignon! Not kebab style, but placed on a rice dish. I thought everything was well above average. The food was excellent, as well as the presentation. Side-dishes were good too.

I really like it over the chicken. I would definitely recommend this spot if you crave kabobs or gyro.

Got a combo of chicken kabob and shami kabob along with a side of their borani banjan/eggplant dish. The eggplant was honestly one of my favorite things- it's a must get in my opinion. Homey dish with incredible flavors! Their naan is fresh and pairs well with it. The chicken was good, but I've had better honestly. The shami was a little disappointing as I expected more flavor and it was slightly dry, but good. Their rice was so tasty and I loved the sweetness coming from the carrots an raisins. Of course, the sheeryakh was great- quite a big portion for one person, but I loved the texture. It tastes very similar to the Indian/South Asian/Pakistani ice cream, "Kulfi." CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK: Service needs improvement. The whole time I was there I had to keep looking for waiters to make eye contact with to ask for menu, water, paying, etc. It took about 10 min or more for me to have to call a busy waiter over just to look at the menu- no one came over on their own. Things just took time for a Saturday night- plus they were hosting an event on top of this. Needless to say, I've never had service like this, but the vibe and food made me be not as harsh. Despite the service, this place is a must try for authentic Afghan cuisine. Can't wait to try more of their menu (and the borani banjan again) in the future!

Friendly Staff who was above & beyond helpful after we let him know it was our first time. (Zaki) was his name (pretty sure). He walked us through the whole ordering process. Options are many from choice of greens to meat with everything in between. You build your own creation or can choose from Fan Favorites. You can be basic or build a monster with additional add-ons. It can add up quickly so watch out. We did two bowels with side of pita chips, two cups for water. About $40 - the food is fresh & delicious (best Falafel that I have had) and per my wife healthy. Definitely enough flavor & food to satisfy and we will be back to try some other combinations.

Most of this operation appears to be take-out. We placed a pickup order online and it was waiting for us by the time we showed up. We ordered two small chicken bowls and one "feast mode". The "feast mode" size was actually challenging for three people to finish! The "hive sauce" tastes like a honey mustard with maybe mayo? It's pretty good. I really wish Flavor Hive would have additional toppings - just cucumber tomato onion cilantro etc are quite minimal. Would be awesome if they could add something like beet salad or beans! The value at this place is excellent compared to the numerous other rice / slop bowl places in the area. It is a lot of food. This place went viral on social media for a reason, and it lives up to the hype.

This review is for the Alexandria location of Flavor Hive off of General Washington Dr…read more On 1/28/26, after 8:00 PM, we placed two separate orders. Only one order (check #88) was provided at pickup. The second order (check #87) was never given to us, despite being paid for. When I called the phone number listed on both the paid receipt and from Google, I did not reach the restaurant. Instead, the call was answered by a male individual phone comes up from Vienna and did not appear to be affiliated with the restaurant staff on-site. This alone is unacceptable. The individual who answered was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Multiple witnesses overheard the conversation, which has been documented. We were not initially seeking a refund -- only verification of the missing order and whether it could still be picked up. There was zero effort to assist, no accountability, and no urgency to resolve the issue. This level of disorganization and lack of customer service is unacceptable for any restaurant. If Flavor Hive continues to operate this way -- including routing customer calls to unprofessional third parties -- it will absolutely damage the business and its reputation.
