Platter 16
Joshua D.

Overall good food though the meat was a little dry and overcooked. The spinach was flavorless but I soaked it in sumac to make up for it. Solid kabob place but Saffron across town has way better meat quality and juicy and tender bites.

They have the most delicious taftoon bread. I could have eaten only that with the delicious lentil soup. They offer cardamom tea as well. Note they only offer sugar and no sweetener. The food was very good. I had the joojeh and the rice was cooked perfectly. Generous portion and we were both stuffed.

This is from the gyro platter. It was really good too.

I came back again this past Friday for takeout. It was just as great when I got home to eat it. I ordered #2, #6. Some places would skimp on take outs but not here. It was just as full of good food if you ate in. I plan to good thru it's menu. Food is very fresh and the bread was soft and hot fresh too. Service was excellent to. The beef and chicken was juicy and flavorful. This is a hidden gem.

Its my second time here. I love the food here. The seasoning is just perfect. The sauce and the portion is very generous. Today the cashier lady was supper nice. She appear to be new to her job. Didn't say much. But u can feel her genuine vibe throughher smilesand gestures. Definitely recommend. And be back.

11. Beef and Chicken Kabob Combo Platter

Darya is top 3 kabob places I've been to in NOVA. They are consistently flavorful and delicious. You can't go wrong with their chicken and beef or gyro combos. The chickpeas and hummus are my favorite. I do wish they had flavored naan like garlic. It would go well with the hummus but the naan is still good. They give a big portion with your meals. I've never had a bad experience here, but I usually get take out.

Just in case anybody thinks I'm BSing about how much I order from. there.  They treat regular customers like crap.

This place has the WORST service ever and never will be going back there again. I asked for tandoori chicken wrap and ensured me during ordering AND when I picked up the order that it is a Tandoor chicken wrap. When I get home and look at the sandwich, surprise...ITS NOT a tandoori sandwich. Then when I call and tell them it's the wrong order....they proceed to tell me they don't sell it so tough luck and I have to come all the way back for a refund and that THIS IS AMERICA and that's how shit works. I used to order 3X a week from this place because of how close it is. After this experience, never again. Will go to the much friendlier and better place at Cafe Rice and Kabob. Right in the next shopping center over.

Large portions of quality kabob. Would recommend to anybody who eats meat, though their veggies are on point too.

Casual, yummy, and very accommodating. Ordered the fish kabob, which is salmon, no longer tilapia as the online menu displays.

Kabob Palace - 1. Boneless Chicken Kabob

Kabob Palace

4.0(2.3k reviews)

The wait time was wayyyy too long. And the staff look like they take their time doing anything,…read morethey look miserable and exhausted when they talk and prepare the food. The space is dirty with dried food stuck to the table. The food itself was good, the only reason why I wouldn't rate it 1 star. But if you want food here I recommend you order online.

Late night eating doesn't get better than this!…read more Kabob Palace is downscale. Kabob Palace is legendary. You get more than your money's worth at Kabob Palace, and we are not talking a lot of money. This is a 24-7 Afghan kebab place that serves life giving food at any hour of the day. * * * Kabob Palace has gotten awards from nearly every newspaper and community magazine that writes about food in the Beltway. Washington has a lot of columnists who write about food in the Beltway. These are knowledgeable columnists who know their international food. They rave about Kabob Palace. These are knowledgeable raves. I rave about Kabob Palace. There are huge lines to get in the door. Presumably the customers rave about Kabob Palace. That is a whole lot of people doing a whole lot of raving. * * * I am sure the food critics and the Northern Virginia night eaters are not there to rave about the scenery. I certainly do not rave about the scenery. Kabob Palace is fluorescent lights. Kabob Palace is cheap tables, close to nearly everyone else eating in the restaurant. There is a TV where you can watch Central Asian sporting events. It is set up so the staff can see it rather than the customers. You will crane your neck to follow the game. * * * The food makes the lines and the fluorescent lights totally worthwhile. The menu is medium sized but fairly predictable. You have seen everything here in other Kabob places you have eaten in. They have a few cafeteria serving dishes of pilau. There are also mixed vegetables, and some curried items. Almost everything else comes off the grill or out of their Afghan bread baking oven. What comes off the grill is absolutely sensational. What comes out of the oven is pretty darn good. What comes out of the cafeteria serving dishes is less wonderful. BUT The serving dish stuff is made very interesting by super outstanding house sauces. * * * I did a bone-in chicken kebab that was marinated in an absolutely outstanding spice mix. I sat and marveled at the spices with every single bite. A grim looking spinach and potatoes had a coriander yogurt sauce that was the Taylor Swift of all yogurt sauces. Okay - we are going Afghan here. So it was the Ahmad Zahir of all yogurt sauces. The chicken was too good for me to want to mix it with anything. The spinach and the Afghan bread offered plenty of opportunity for the coriander yogurt sauce to do its thing. People who have read my other reviews know that in general I despise coriander. When I tell you that a coriander sauce is food for the gods, that is like Alexandra Ocasio Cortez telling you about a Wonderful Republican. This yogurt sauce really really is that good. * * * The fun does not stop at the end of the main course. They do a rice pudding for dessert. Afghans, like Iranians, are known for exceptional rice cooking. Afghan rice pudding is better than rice pudding rice pudding. Rice pudding in the hands of the British or in the hands of mid-century Yankee cooks is grim stuff. It is the only dessert I have ever heard James Beard complain about. I share James Beard's assessment entirely. This Afghan rice pudding is nothing like the flavorless grainy custards of my youth. The pudding is mild, but it is quintessential comfort food. Even though I had had that amazing chicken and that amazing coriander sauce, As I walked home, the only flavor on my mind was the rice pudding. I was like a small child who had just been taken care of by Mommy and was now getting in my jammies for bed. Desserts that make you feel happy are a good thing. * * * There are not very many places where you can sit at 2:30 in the morning under fluorescent lights and have an experience that makes you completely happy. Fluorescent lights at 2:30 in the morning usually means going to Walgreens or CVS in the middle of the night. I am currently writing this review at 2:08 in the morning. I am in Austin, Texas. If Kabob Palace was anywhere within driving distance of my house, I would not be in my house right now. I would have gotten in my car about 1:30 and would have driven to Kabob Palace. I would have had to drive and I would have had to wait 20 minutes in line. After eating, I would still have to drive home. This is midnight food that is so good That a 72 year old man would take two hours out of his sleep time just to get his plateful. Kabob Palace is something else.
