    I've been coming to Dulles Kabob for 18 years and this place has the BEST food! Everything on the menu is delicious, but the standout is the homemade white and green sauce! Absolutely incredible! Try it, you'll thank me later!

    Steak kebabs - very delicious!!
    Linda B.

    We ordered through DoorDash and the food was wonderful! I ordered the lamb and chicken kebabs and the Tandoori bread and my friend ordered the steak kebabs that came with a side of chickpeas and sauces which were just scrumptious!! We will definitely order from here again!!

    Chicken platter

    Traded in car nearby Sterling, staff recommended Peruvian chicken for lunch - but walked by Dulles Kabob with the meats grilling in the window (great marketing strategy!) - hubs was hooked. Chicken Platter was the bomb. I love love Thai chicken satay, this might be even better! So moist & grilled to perfection, delish. Chick peas, rice & bread round out for yummy & satisfying meal. Ambience is none, no frills, counter service. Extra points for the sauce squeeze bottles - the greens are my fav!

    This was delivered to a work meeting yesterday and I was really impressed by the size and taste of the box lunch! The chicken was juicy and had great flavor and the rice was impressive.

    Excellent! First time trying Dulles Kabob and it did not disappoint. Placing an order online was simple and straightforward. The cashier was friendly and our order was neatly wrapped. Plenty of indoor seating is available. They are generous with the portions, which is greatly appreciated. The rice is cooked to perfection and their meat is juicy and flavorful. The Beef Kobeeda was on point and an instant favorite. The side salad paired wonderfully with the Tzatziki sauce. Their platters also come with freshly-baked tandoori bread on the side. Our side dishes of Spinach and Chickpeas were well executed, flavorful and not overly salty. We will definitely be back.

    Our favorite kabob place in the south riding Aldie area! What a gift to our area... The sauces here are amazing! The hot sauce is GREEN (sometimes they are in the wrong bin) and the tzatziki sauce is tangy and delicious! Their proportions are outrageously generous and cooked perfectly! The meats are seasoned so beautifully and the chicken is just oh so tender! Don't try to come during the lunch rush or you'll be stuck waiting! I'd try to get here around 11am for lunch and the dinner crowd is just dependent on the day! There is a special gyro Monday! This is the best and most meat filled gyro you will find in the area! All for for only $5.99! It will feed 2 normal people and 1 big boy! I've always had to take half of the meat combo dish home or share one with my wife... or if you are a big boy... it'll totally satisfy your craving!

    Chicken & Beef

    This place is so yummy and is definitely a go-to if I'm craving kabobs. Hits the spot immediately especially with their hummus and the bread. The service is a little iffy in the restaurant, but that can be overlooked because the food is so yum!

    I ordered the beef kebab and that beef was actually disgusting and even gave me stomach issues. It looks like they got ground beef and they just missed it all together. They charge so much for bad quality food.

I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.

So is the Vegetarian platter and tasting menu, aushak, quroti, and turnovers. You cant go wrong with saffron rice or the rice with carrots and raisins. Enough reviews already mention the four dips and soft bread, a cross between middle eastern bread and focaccia. Non alcoholic drinks are not an after thought, the sour cherry rose lemonade is liked by kids, adults, and seniors. Service is warm and welcoming, the Rumi quotes on the walls and turkish lamps add to the ambience, parking is easy and aplenty. A few tips: 1. Go for the lunch menu if you are feeding a large group. It is cheaper. Or consider making the trek to where it all started, Afghan Bistro in Springfield. 2. Ask for the daily selection of cakes. The pistachio and cardamom are the best, not too sweet, light, moist, and fragrant. Of course we devoured the food before taking pictures but a couple attached.

The pumpkin dumplings and pan fried veggie filled dumplings were great as well. I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

I hadn't seen that before and I was skeptical before eating but wanted to try something different and it was incredible. My only pro tip is that when you order a veg main it's a lot of one thing, whereas meat mains come with a veg. Next time I will order the veggie combo option to get more diversity. Normally I write longer reviews but in this case I think I will let the food photos speak for themselves.

For mains, we got the Lamb Lawand and Lamb loin chop. The lamb lawand was this savory rice dish- they served it with mushrooms and a side of beautifully seasoned spinach. It came as a stew that you were able to mix with your rice as you please. As for the lamb loin chop, it was incredibly tender- falling off the bone. Dessert was difficult, as I am deathly allergic to all nuts. My partner got the hazelnut chocolate cake, and from what I heard they rated it very highly. I got the afghan ice cream; the flavor were incredibly unique, with notes of cardamom, saffron and rose water. I usually have a problem with rose water in my desserts, as it ends up tasting overly flowery or soapy, but I think it was executed well. The toppings of dates, mangos, and figs went incredibly well with the flavors of the ice cream.
