This place may be overlooked since it's in next to restaurants with more noticeable signs but it shouldn't be! The sandwich was pretty good, may have needed a little more flavor but was good nevertheless. The chicken shawarma platter was amazing though and let me tell you, you're gonna have to fight hard to finish it all since there's so much AND at a very fair price. Not sure if it was complementary or if it came with the meal, but the server brought over a large piece of naan bread with sauces which was unexpected but a pleasant surprise. There's also complementary tea and lemon water which was self serve. Incredibly pleased with everything and will most definitely be returning! read more

Courthouse Kabob - Chicken sandwich. Not shown well but schwarma platter - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great customer service and the food looked good. They had a variety of options, but I tried the lamb sandwich. It was good and flavorful. They were also generous with their sauces, which was a plus. I'll definitely come back to try other dishes read more

Courthouse Kabob - Shwarma sandwich - Afghan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Wonderful food. Never disappointed with their rice, chicken kebab and Kefta. Highly recommend for any one interested in Afghani cuisine

Amazing afghan food, I recommend getting the gyro platter if you ever stop in super good spot!

Obsessed is an understatement, this place really wowed me with the quality of their kabob and the sheer amount of food for the price. It's non pretentious store front may scare you but you know it's good because there is always someone inside eating. We went for delivery and we were not disappointed. We tried the chicken kabob, chicken kofta, and the beef kabob with the sides of potatoes and eggplant. The chicken kabob was the best I have ever tried, flavor and cooked wise- the meat melted in your mouth. The chicken kofta had great flavor too but the chicken kabob was the star. They give so much rice that you could have enough rice for days. I loved the side dips and bread (though it goes stale by day 2 if you don't gobble it all down day 1). We also got some size tatziki and it was almost spicy, which I enjoyed. read more

Kabobs, bread, rice, and sides (the spinach!!!) for a fair price and always a smile from the friendly staff, whether dining in-house or picking up take-out read more

We ordered two family platters and I have to say this is our go to Kabob place in DC Metro going forward. Very impressed with quality, taste and portion size. Say hello to the owner if you get a chance. Amazing individual ! read more

My husband and I have eaten here several times over the last few months. After reading reviews I was a little nervous but felt compelled to come and leave a positive review. No only is the food good, but the service is great. The staff is so friendly every single time and the restaurant is so clean. We have dined in and carried out and both experiences have been pleasant. I also really appreciate the late hours!! It's hard to find good food and friendly service late at night. read more

I ordered via Uber Eats. Food was absolutely delish. Portion size was most definitely good Valie for money. I had the Lab w/ a Side Salad (which I didn't know had onions) and egg plant. 2 reasons I didn't give them a 5 Stars. 1/ There was no drinks available for order (not even bottle water) and 2/ There was no cutlery in the with my order. read more

The hidden gem of Arlington. I have ordered way too many times from this restaurant to not leave a review. You can truly tell that Courthouse Kabob places an emphasis on high quality, delicious food and amazing service. On my way back from running errands, it dawned on me that I have not eaten here in a few weeks. I placed an order and arrived at the restaurant around the time I was set to pick up my order. My order was almost ready and an employee offered me a free beverage while I waited. Enlightened by the free drink, I found that this rather unassuming restaurant was bustling at 8:30 in the evening with a mix of locals, large families and endless to-go orders. They even forced a free dessert on me for my wait, which I gladly accepted. Let's be honest here. My food was ready quickly after I arrived, so no complaints at all about the wait. By this point, I need to convince you, my reader, that, in no way, shape or form, am I being paid or compelled to write this review and leave 5/5 stars. It was my intention to leave a larger tip, but in the day and age, I do not hold small bills. So I hope this review suffices. Every meal I have eaten here is fresh, flavorful and delicious. The only item that did not blow me away was the fries. However, if you look at their menu, their endless options of traditional dishes, and you decide to buy fries, that is your problem entirely. I highly recommend the potato stew and chickpeas. If you have stuck around long enough to read this sentence, stop. Put down your phone, go to Courthouse Kabob and let it speak for itself. read more

This place is great and the food is always fresh. They load up the food on the Combo platter for 2. It's a great price and plenty of food. You'll even have enough for leftovers for 2. The veggies/side dishes are always delicious and fresh, even when you order late night. This is a great place with delicious food and welcoming & friendly service. The new management of this place has not disappointed and perhaps has made the place even better. read more

I ordered takeout from here last week. The pros are that the food is reasonably priced, tastes good, and is served in generous portions. The baklava was perfect and a great after-dinner treat, and while it was my first time eating bolani, I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be ordering it again. I ordered the combo platter for one, and while the kabobs and sauces that came with it tasted great, the meat itself was a bit dry. Also, the side of french fries I ordered was very unimpressive (small, oily fries) so I'll definitely be picking another side the next time I go. read more

We came for the first time to this authentic Afghani restaurant, a team of 10 , we served by Yasmin an excellent staff, she was amazing, taking care of all the orders so quickly.the food was delicious, dinning outside was amazing. I recommend it for friends to visit when they are in DC. Well done team read more

This is a casual kabob establishment. You go to the counter and order what you want, and then can seat yourself indoor or outdoor. We got the combo for 4, with chickpeas and tabbouli salad as the sides. We got baklava as well. Everything was phenomenal. Without exception, all the meat was wonderfully flavorful and tender. Many kabob places have overcooked or tough meat, but not here. The tabbouli salad and chickpeas were both so perfect. The outdoor seating was pleasant for people-watching, and we were able to push tables together to accommodate our family of 4. The people are nice, and the prices are very fai We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing lately my favorite kind of food is Middle Eastern.I love the flavors the spices and plentiful vegetable vegetarian options! I want to give special small business shout out to the new owners of Courthouse Kabob Page in Courthouse.tonight I want in here and got the most amazing cauliflower dish that was full of spice and tomato goodness I also had some naan and the owner was generous enough to let me try some rice pudding.Really nice owners and great people with affordable prices and lots of flavor ..try them and let your taste buds be kindled! very very different from the last owners of this location who were kind of rude:) Update: Had the eggplant, spiced and tender just right with their naan. cooked with love:) read more

I was around Rosslyn Arlington area earlier today , Had to stop by the this kebab spot .. Nice and very clean environment , I really like the lentil soup with the afghani bolani Nan as well as the combo platter kebab .. read more

Absolutely fantastic food! Delicious and the hummus and bread were so fresh and tasty! If I lived in the area I'd be there weekly slowly trying out each item. Next time I definitely want to try the bolani read more

The barbecue was average, a bit dry. However, the side dishes are huge and the rice is so much that it is almost difficult for one person to finish it all. It's pretty cost-effective. It would be good if you only eat one naan. read more

We ordered a Combo Platter for Two to be delivered for lunch today. Our food arrived early and piping hot! We had chicken kabob, beef kofte, chicken kofte, and lamb kabob - all we very tasty, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The combo also came with two sides - we opted for spinach and potato stew - and two giant pieces of bread, all of which were delicious. The Combo Platter for Two is no joke and a seriously good value. Thank you! read more

I miss the old management. The food quality and ambiance was so much better - the owner would actually greet you and knew regulars by name. If you've been here prior to the management change, then you know this is NOT the Afghan kabob we love and crave. This reminds me of the time I purchased "what I thought" to be an authentic Louis Vuitton only to look inside and not find the signature stitching...just saying (shrugs) read more

I have just eaten there and they took 20% tip without asking me. when I went to pay, the cashier just gave me the receipt and then said it's the rule. and when I asked the food s price before ordering she didn't give me answer. will not go there again read more

This is now my go to place. So far I DoorDashed once and picked up once. It's absolutely amazing! The flavor, spice, cleanliness and customer service! 10/10 Thank you read more

Among the plethora of Kabob shops in Arlington, it's hard to pick a favorite.⁠ ⁠ ⁠But Courthouse Kabob really stands out as one of the best! ⁠ I'm a kabob lover. Kabob is such a simple food, which in my opinion is exactly why people all over the world love it. Meat + spices + grill = heaven. I also love affordable, small, family owned kabob shops. They're not fancy, but that's kind of the point! You'll frequently find me eating a massive plate in my sweatpants, in a small kabob shop with only a few tables, tiny menu, sometimes plastic tablecloths, very very happy. ⁠ ⁠ My standards for what I consider to be good kabob shops are simple: solid lunch or dinner specials so you get great value for your dollar, fresh hot bread, well seasoned kabob, and clean bathrooms. Usually I find places that meet two or three of my four criteria, but rarely all. ⁠ ⁠ Thankfully this spot hits all four. The lunch specials are a great deal, the bread hot and delicious, the staff super friendly, and the bathrooms clean! Most importantly, the kabobs are so well seasoned that you can literally see the spices in the photos and videos I took. My hubby and I were both impressed, a feat given how many casual kabob shops we've frequented throughout the world. ⁠ ⁠ I highly recommend the spicy Chapli Kabob if you like spicy foods, the ground beef is spiced to a medium heat that goes perfectly with the rice and sauces it comes with. ⁠ read more

The new Afghan restaurant replaces the old, and it is pretty much the same thing. Which is a great compliment since I really enjoyed their food and am happy that I know that I can go to the same location and get delicious food there. As you can see, the food looks great, smells great and, most importantly, tastes great. I will definitely be back again. read more

Bring back the old place. Ordered the chicken and beef kabobs with spinach and rice. SO MUCH RICE. Holy cow the rice was overkill. And dry. Take out some of the rice or give the customer another side choice. Chicken was in a long link, not separate pieces and very dry.... now I know why hot sauce was on the tables since I had to continuously put hot sauce on the chicken to make it palatable. Beef was lamb and was also dry. Also in a long link. The meats were below average and just seemed very dry. The Naan bread was awful as well. Mostly burnt and hard.... had to dunk it in white sauce and still not very flavorful. Many other good spots in Arlington for Kabobs, this place just misses the mark. read more

The food was fresh and delicious. The server was super friendly and gave good suggestions on the food and portions.

Absolutely delicious food at very affordable prices. We literally changed our return trip route to stop here for lunch, because it's so good. The bread is served fresh & warm. We had the combo platter with lamb & chicken kabobs and beef & chicken kofta. The meat in the lamb curry stew just melted in my mouth. Try this place!! read more

Super delicious! I ordered via delivery app and the food arrived perfectly packaged, warm and tasty. We ordered the chicken kofta and the chicken kabob platter. Portions are very generous, we both had leftover. Lots of rice and the side sauces were amazing! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great Kanin place! read more

I'm pretty bummed to post this update. I'm removing a star from Courthouse Kabob because some of their staff behind the counter weren't wearing their face masks properly. If the face mask isn't covering your nose, then it's not going to work as intended. This is a real drag, because I adore the delicious vegetable sides at CK. I seriously go there mostly for the veggies. Unfortunately, so long as their staff isn't wearing their masks properly, we won't be back. read more

I believe there are three criteria that any good Kabob restaurant must meet. I am happy to say that Courthouse Kabob checks all three boxes and therefore will enter my rotation of takeout restaurants. 1. Speed. I placed my takeout order online at 6:33 PM. I was quoted a pickup time of 6:47. I arrived at 6:45 and my food was already bagged and waiting. Probably spent less than 60 total seconds inside the restaurant, which is exactly what I wanted. 2. Portions. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and what I received was absolutely humongous. Heaps of meat over a large bed of rice, my choice of one of six sides (went for the potato stew, which was really good), and a piece of naan that must've been at least a foot long. This was enough food for dinner and next day's lunch. Not a bad deal for 14 bucks. 3. Meat quality. I was especially impressed by the heavy seasoning on the chicken. Kabob places often err on the side of blandness, but not Courthouse Kabob. The meat also felt surprisingly light for a cuisine that often feels like a ball of grease in your stomach. Courthouse Kabob loses one star because the naan, although giant, was well below average. It was just bland; I gladly would've paid an extra dollar for garlic or buttered naan, but those options weren't available. But even so, I'd still recommend this place. read more
