I saw this place in passing, googled it and realized it was a chicken over rice spot, and got super excited. I'm a huge fan and try to hit up all of the spots. I'm surprised I had not heard of this. Walked in during a Sunday afternoon and it was just us. But the service was super fast, and we saw the bowl being made right in front of us. I got a combo with chicken and lamb and my husband got the lamb with extra meat. They are super generous with their portions and even have a few toppings that I haven't seen at other places. Such as cheese! I believe it's an extra charge though and we didn't know that until we saw the receipt. I had to get a ton of white sauce of course but they had about 4 different choices, including the spicy red sauce. We were given complimentary drinks from the fridge which was nice. As for the food, it was amazing! Even after taking it to go and driving 15 mins in the freezing cold. The food remained warm and the cheese got all melty. So delicious. The lamb was very flavorful and so was the chicken! Way better than some of the recent chicken over rice places we've been going to. I want to go back and try their crepes!

Happened to be in the area and decided to drop in after seeing some tasty images of their bowls! The service was very helpful and even gave me a sample of their chicken when I asked about the flavor. I opted for the combo rice bowl with lamb and chicken sprinkled with the hot and white sauces. They were running a special portions were hefty and the taste hit the spot. Seating could be limited, but they do have an outdoor seating option for those nicer weather days and nights. Will definitely be back again. Enjoy!

We went here last night for dinner and dessert. The employees were so nice and really loaded our chicken bowl! Everything was do fresh and tasty! They even gave us free drinks with the food, which was so nice! I had the strawberry and Nutella crepe and it was very yummy! We will come back again soon for more halal and crepes! Their prices are also very reasonable!

This spot caught me off guard. It's not a new concept, & I've had this kind of Mediterranean food all my life!! This spot HIT different!! Let's GO!! . Where I am: @bitezdmv . Location Reviewed: 7258 Columbia Pike, Annandale V.A. . Items Reviewed: *All Halal Proteins* STAMP!! Their Falafel Salad ($11 with falafels, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, & tahini sauce). Fresh falafel, & creamy tahini sauce!! The salad was a salad. STAMP!! Their Combo Platter ($13 with chicken, gyro/lamb meat, all the salad fixings, tahini, & rice). The chicken was red, but not spicy, the gyro meat was super tender, & blended well with the sauce!! STAMP!! Their Gyro Pita ($10 with the same fixings that were in the platter, with just lamb, & chipotle aioli). The platter, in a pita...tasty!! STAMP!! Their Chicken Burrito ($11 all the fixings in the gyro, & platter with just chicken as a protein). Again...this burrito hit!! The chicken is not spicy!! LIKE THAT Their Cookies & Cream Crepe ($12 a folded sweet pancake pastry with strawberries, bananas, Nutella, & powdered sugar). Definitely sweet, soft, warm, with the crunch of Oreo folded in the inside!! . Parking: ROUGH!! . The Inside: Quaint, & clean. . Recommendations: Everything is the same thing in different forms. Get the combo platter!! . Accessibility: It is wheelchair & differently abled persons accessible. 5 Stars=STAMP 4 1/2 Stars=LIKE THAT 4 Stars=DELICIOUS 3 Stars=DECENT 2 Stars=PASS 1 Star=NAH #Bigschlimsreviews

I have some mixed reviews because I didn't have the best Uber eats experience and similar to a previous reviewer, their chicken made me a bit sick. Ordering was easy and their menu is pretty straightforward but again my delivery driver didn't do the best job. He didn't actually change his arrival status and attempted to call me but I had no signal for the call to go through. Would only re-order if I was craving something sweet like a crepe.

Camryn K.

The food here is okay but I don't think I would get it again. I ordered the combo rice platter, and it was a good portion size. I liked how it had a lot of sauce on it, and I thought the gyro meat was good, albeit a little salty. The chicken was not very good though. It kinda had a weird taste and wasn't super flavorful. I liked the sauces but it could've used a green sauce, but apparently they don't have that. The bowl was just super creamy and it needed something acidic.

Kathy T.

Overall, pretty good place. They give you alot of meat which is a plus. The reason why I am giving this three stars is because I thought it was TOO flavorful. Normally, flavor is good but I think there was a lack of balance. The marinated meat dominated the dish and I wish it was toned down a bit. I also felt like the white sauce didn't have that much flavor to it and didn't really add to the dish. Also, I ordered the fruity pebbles crepe and it was dry. It was literally just cereal in a crepe and banana. Wish it came with some sauce. Skip the fruity pebbles crepes.

Food is not bad, tasty, some of the crew don't speak English well, so sometimes it's hard to understand them or them understanding us!

The food here definitely hits the spot. One of the best kabob spots and even better, the food is reasonably priced. Feel like it normally costs an arm and a leg for kabob, but not here. Everything is so delicious here, the portions are great, especially the portion size for meat. The only thing I wish is the salads had more salad, but other than that, delicious!

Annandale has been surprising me every time by how many new places are opening around here. I went here on a whim after an event around 3 AM. Your options are really limited unless you want to make a trek to the nearest breakfast joint or go down the street to a open Korean restaurant but sometimes you just want to grab something quick and go. Bitez has been teasing me all over Instagram with how pleasing their rice platters and crepes are. For 12 bucks, I don't think I could really complain. You get a hefty amount of food packed, especially if you get the combo platter consisting of Chicken, Gyro Meat, Rice, Cucumbers and Salad.. you really can't go wrong. Topped with either white, red spicy or Bitez's own sauce you can pick to however you like. This place can get packed if you go here early evening, but when I was there it wasn't too bad. Not really a line at all ( yeah it's 3 AM ) and honestly even if there was a line, it would have went quick. Do I think this is better than other Halal places that serve the same rice platter? I don't think so. But if there is one advantage that this place has over the rest, it's closer to me and I'd probably gravitate going here more as a result. I don't really recommend dining in as it's small and there are not many tables to sit down at. Although there are seats outside, depending on the weather people are just going to either sit inside or take it home to go. Cheap food, great prices, friendly staff, can't recommend enough!

Let me start by saying the food here is tasteless and disgusting. Not only that but even their staff are some disgusting human beings that I have ever seen. On January 9th my sister and I came here for crepes and there was a Indian guy at the register typing our order and was smirking, upon looking at our receipt (attached in this review) he called my sister a b****. Is this the type of employees yall wanna hire? Is this the treatment yall love to give to your customers? Absolutely disgraceful. There are many platter places in the DMV and are 10x better with quality of food and they definitely do not call their customers any sort of names as this person did.

They don't skimp out the portions here which is great! The combo platter is usually my go to and I love how it's open late. The sauces provided have a lot of flavor and zest, and the meats are always tender and have a nice bite to it. Even the rice provided has a nice flavor profile to them. Five stars on that aspect. Service is nice but it is a bit slow. Even getting beverages can take a while to ring up. The reason I'm giving a three star review is because my friend and I came to eat here last night and we did get moderate food poisoning. I think we got a bad batch which sucks since the other couple of times I went, there were no issues in that department. Currently writing this review as I'm almost near my death bed at this point. Great food, risky consequences. read more

This is a great chicken and rice spot for the late night craving! My only concern is clear definition of heat they use in the sauces. Definitely targeted toward college students and overnight workers with the late night hours and sweet treats! The location has the basics with seating accommodated inside and outside but ambiance is pretty standard. Parking is around the corner from the location as it is situated in front of a busy intersection. read more

What an amazing late night spot! We stumbled upon this place while we were out late one night and were getting hungry but not in the mood for chain fast food. This place was bumping and so hip! The restaurant was surprisingly packed for being close to midnight but that's not surprising being that they are next to a hookah bar and it looks like the spot to hang out at! We were greeted right away when we walked in. It is set up like halal guys where you go up to the counter and tell them what you want/toppings and then you pay. Being our first time, we didn't know what all the different sauce options were and the staff was very kind to walk us through our options. We ended up getting a combo with chipotle sauce in addition to the white & spicy sauce. It was so good! I usually don't like lamb but this was not gamey at all and it hit the spot. The chicken was also very tender and surprisingly tasty! We are definitely coming back here again, especially if we find ourselves hungry in the middle of the night ;) read more

disappointing... Pro: the Falafel was good. Cons: the rest of the combo was barely edible. The rice was dried up and crunchy as was the lamb on top. Both were over salted. I wanted to like it because the staff was friendly but the goal was ultimately something to eat. I had limited time between appointments so I stuck with the falafel and salad. More salad would have been appreciated. The sauces helped salvage the food. The white dressing and hot sauce were tasty. read more

Ok the atmosphere is great.the yellow and the logo and especially the ads online are awesome. But for the most important part the food. Alright to tell you the truth.its alright. I mean its 13$ ( 3 more dollars then a chipotle bowl) and hey understand its halal but its not a 10/10. Their lettuce looks scary and old and they use thick pieces of tomatoes and cucumbers which kinda ruin the texture. Their gyro is nice and the chicken texture tasted and looked like it came from a stew/gumbo with was also pretty good.thier sauces aint bad but for mr the bbq tasted wierd. Ok now for Thier desert. It was meh because it felt a little bit raw, BUT what made it go down some points was the price. You're telling me it's $10 for a crêpe with no toppings and just the crepe itself. and if I do want the toppings, it's a dollar for each fruit plus a dollar for the drizzle on top and the powdered sugar. And the crêpe is very small and thin. If i were you i would skip the crepe. Other than that, I hope they could improvr their toppings and portion sizes because how they put the toppings on the side is smart so they can get less of the rice and meat in your plate. But the plate itself is very heavy and with a side of soda you can call it lunch. They also close at 3am so for those who got the munchies in the am,s come here cuz mcdonlds tastes bad either way.And a short summary ,The foods alright, not amazing, come here if you want something new in Annandale, or if you're drunk. read more

I ordered a lamb gyro, a combo over rice and some crepes. The potential was there, I could sometimes taste the flavors of the meat through the sauce, but it was mostly a salty, saucy meal. I think that might hit the spot late night, but it just didn't work for a regular meal. If they dialed back the sauce and the salt by about 50%, I think they'd have something here. read more

It did get really busy as we were there and our food took a bit. I think a few people also ordered online for pickup so the order stuff was getting made was unclear. I ordered a smashburger and it was great. Nothing too crazy but very delicious. My brother got the chopped cheese and enjoyed it. The best part was something that we ordered to share, the Chapli Chopped Cheese Loaded fries. It wasn't on their menu boards yet but I had seen it on their instagram and had to try it. It was delicious! I would definitely come back and get those again. It had a great flavor, the sauce was delicious, and the fries were still relatively crispy despite the amount of sauce and toppings. Overall, a great spot that I would recommend to others and will definitely coming back soon!

I know they want to drizzle a zig zag for aesthetics (makes it look really good haha), but the sauce ends up taking over the entire flavor. If they could put less sauce by default I would definitely give this place a perfect rating. I'm in between a 4 star and 4.5 star for this place. Maybe I'll come back one day to try it again and up my rating!

Carryout was well packaged- self serve some of the 3 sauces to go to try. Green is avocado/tomatillo mix, red is hotter/sharper, orange (kickin/creamy) good. Decent sized menu but not trying to do everything- smart move. Because everything they do they do extremely well. Before we even left, I said "If we lived here , I'd be coming here almost every week". It's that good. We're both retired chefs and cook at home constantly, but this was something special.

Hopefully Noone will get burned from that either.. We'll just keep taking our business to Wing Stop..more bang for my buck, and the food just tastes way better!!

To be honest I'm not sure if the protein matters since there is so much happening in the bowls. You can tell everything is fresh, maybe the exception are fries are already cooked and not to order. Doesn't bother me since they still had good texture. Cool atmosphere and felt very inviting. Didn't try the green sauce but the red sauce is very mild. I much prefer this to other bowl spots and it's pretty convenient to get to. We'd want to try to cafe as well.

It was my first time at cafehive and I was impressed by the large selection of drinks and desserts on the menu. On this visit, I only tried their coffee, but I will definitely come back to try their desserts. I love the concept of the build your own desserts with the unlimited toppings! As for drinks- Tiramisu latte is the most popular and banana bread latte is one of the new ones and was recommended to me to try by the cashier. If you are deciding between the two, the tiramisu has the stronger coffee taste whereas the banana bread is sweet with a slight banana flavor. The only thing I will say is while the menu is beautiful the drinks don't really come out looking like how I expected based on what I have seen on Instagram with all the foam and toppings.. maybe an off day but the tiramisu latte I thought had mascarpone cold foam for example.

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.

I usually keep it simple -- ground beef, white sauce, cheese, cilantro with Doritos as the base. Smacks every single time. Though I had their loaded fries once and they were tasty as well. With so many locations across the DC Metro area there's plenty of location options to go to if one is more convenient than the other.

Marib is a Yemeni restaurant located in a strip of restaurants and grocery stores originating from different parts of the world. Marib knows how to do their lambs.

This was my first experience at a Yemeni restaurant, and it turned out to be an incredibly pleasant and flavorful introduction. We were served half a lamb, head included, laid beautifully on a large platter of rice. But first, the restaurant itself. It was refreshing to see a place that uses real cutlery, proper plates, and actual tablecloths. I much prefer tables and chairs over booths, which often give off a fast-food chain vibe. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, though there was some drilling and repair work going on--likely related to safety or exit signage--so that's understandable. Now to the food. The rice was fluffy and deeply infused with flavor from the lamb, clearly absorbing the richness of the long, slow cooking process. The broth had rippled into the rice, creating an incredible depth of taste. If you've had biryani, this was somewhat similar, but with its own distinct character. The lamb itself was exceptionally tender--falling off the bone and melting in the mouth. For anyone who usually avoids lamb due to its strong aroma, this dish is a must-try; there was no overpowering "lamb smell" at all. The meal was accompanied by a fresh salad and two side sauces--one tomato-based and another green sauce that was extremely spicy, so proceed with caution. The mint lemonade deserves a special mention: easily the best I've had. Not overly sweet, clearly made from fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced. We ended the meal with tea and a warm dessert that was buttery, comforting, and topped with cream--an excellent finale. This was a completely new culinary experience for me, and I left the restaurant feeling like my palate had leveled up. Highly recommended--definitely a place worth checking out

The beef noodle soup was good and clean but I would get the thin noodles next time. The wide noodles weren't as bouncy as I would've liked.

Not one staff told us it was sold out when we placed the order or even when our other orders came out. We've been waiting this whole time expecting the fried pork chop not knowing it was sold out. We were asked if we wanted something else to replace the order and we decided to get the fried chicken over rice.

After a rousing midnight concert by Sonu Nigam, we were famished and longing for a late night feast. We stumbled upon Bitez, an unassuming but welcoming restaurant open from 11am to 4am, and decided to give it a go. This turned out to be a brilliant decision. As we entered well past midnight, I was pleased to find the place spotless, with cheery light wood decor and energizing music - the perfect antidote to our concert comedown. I zoned in on the tantalizing chicken and lamb rice bowl. The bowl arrived brimming with spiced basmati rice, tender lamb, perfectly cooked chicken, and a medley of veggies you choose from the like like you'd do at chipotle. I doused it liberally with the house white and hot sauces and dug in. An explosion of flavors and textures in each bite - the heat of the sauce dancing on my tongue while the rice and meat mingled in harmony. As we mopped up the last grains of rice, I spied a showcase of dessert crepes and my sweet tooth wouldn't let me leave without trying one. The Nutella and Kinder filled beauties that arrived at our table was love at first bite. Lightly crisped, dripping chocolate - simply divine. Bitez won me over with affordable prices, mind-blowing flavors, and energetic vibes perfect for a late night pit stop. This is no ordinary rice bowl joint; theirs are crafted with artistry. Next time hunger strikes between 11am and 4am, I know exactly where we'll be headed. read more

I recently visited Bitez and had a fantastic experience. The chicken and lamb gyro served over rice or pita bread was absolutely delicious. What sets Bitez apart from traditional halal places is their unique addition of cheese and their mouthwatering chipotle-based sauce called "Bitez sauce." It added a delightful twist to the flavors. In addition to the gyro options, Bitez also serves scrumptious crepes. While they do take a bit of time to make, it's understandable considering the care put into preparing them. The wait is definitely worth it for the delectable taste. Parking can be a bit challenging, but with a little patience, you'll eventually find a spot. What I really appreciated about Bitez is their consistent closing time of 4 am. It's refreshing to have a place that stays open late, not just on weekends. This allows for late-night cravings to be satisfied any day of the week. Overall, I highly recommend Bitez for their mouthwatering gyro options, delightful Bitez sauce, and tasty crepes. Despite the parking challenge, their late-night hours and unique offerings make it a must-visit spot. read more

Kenny, one of the gentleman who makes the crepes, was an absolute delight and had great hospitality. he was super nice and understanding. I would recommend anyone to come to bitez strictly because of Kenny and the staff and of course the amazing food and service. And the other staff member who I unfortunately was not able to get his name was also a big help. he worked on august 16 around 5 ocklock which I am assuming is the latest shift. hes a medium tall African American male. Thank you Bitez!! read more

I recently ordered from this restaurant via Uber Eats, opting for the BOGO combo platter which was very affordable. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. As noted in other reviews, the portions of meat and rice were quite generous, accompanied by a small serving of salad. Despite being delivered, everything was still fresh, delicious, and very filling. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and I would recommend it based on both value and taste. read more
