The beef koobideh at this restaurant has a flavor that I simply do not care for. I have tried it a few times, and I believe it's the seasoning used. The chickpeas are really, really terrible. I had hoped for a place close to home so that I didn't have to drive to Ravi kabob or Kabob Palace, but this place does not fulfill that need. read more

Best Kabobs!!! I have been to DK more thank 10 Times.. it's always great food and service!! read more

Dulles Kabob offers good tasting kabob that can satisfy a customer. They have lot of customers driving in and carrying out at all times. Unlike some other Afghan places, they have large seating area. I love their gyro. They serve halal. However, price is on the high side. They do not offer any free sides like chick peas or spinach, they cost eyebrow raising money. All in all, there is nit much choice in kabobs in the vicinity and they serve good food. read more

Very good Kabob and is consistent. Quality meats and very good sides. A good value for the food.

Love it!!!! We drive almost 18 miles one way just to eat here. Best lamb kabobs in NOVA and I looove their chickpeas and that green sauce. I've had their gyros and those are great too. I wish they had a 2nd location. read more

$8.99 lunch buffet M-F 12-2pm Out of all the kabob places in the area, I still haven't found koobada as good as here. I also love their bread because it's fresh, crispy, and thin. Recommendations: Koobada Platter Lamb Gyro Platter read more

This is the best kabob place that I've tried out here in the Dulles area. I ordered the chicken kabob platter. You get A TON of food for the standard rate of ten bucks and some change. The chicken was pretty delicious. It was super tender and had the right amount of spice and flavor. The pile of rice was really tasty and buttery just the way I like it. The part that I wasn't so much in favor of was the salad which had big chunks of lettuce and cucumbers and tomatoes. It's a tad hard to eat. On top of that, it was wilted by that tasty hot delicious chicken. So you're probably asking yourself why the lower rating for such good food. Well, I tend to be a bit harsh when it comes to the dine-in experience. At first glance, the place is pretty clean. They have a lot of tables to choose from. In the back right they have the condiments area and soda machines. It looks almost like a standalone kitchen area sans sink and stove. It's a little odd look in my opinion. They also have a darker, more intimate area in the back left of the restaurant. They give you two pumps for the (white and spicy green) sauce at the condiments area. The good thing about this is unlimited refills on the sauces. The bad part is that they just sit out. I thought those things were supposed to be refrigerated(?). The green spicy sauce pump was broken so I didn't get the chance to sample it. The white sauce was pretty tasty. Cleanliness: It was not as clean as I would have liked. I noticed a lot of mold in the ice chute of the drink fountain. That's gross. I also thought the bathroom could have used a lot more TLC. The soap dispenser was even dirty. Bottom line: I will return but will forgo the dine-in experience. read more

Pleasant experience as always. Dulles Kabob is our go-to during the weekend if we're burnt out on pizza. Customer service is excellent, consistent freshness, food made to order. read more

This afghani restaurant is definitely a hidden gem in the great town of Sterling. This is the best Afghani place in the area, much better than grill kabob and Moby Dicks. Their beef koobideh was really juicy and delicious, plus full of flavor ( something that I'm attached to in the food world due to my Pakistani origins). Their rice was flavorful and the bread was hot and fresh. The chicken was soft and moist. However, they need to work on their chickpeas; it lacked flavor. I also liked how they had refill bottles for white and green sauces. Many other afghani places charge extra for that and are stingy with that. Not this place! The seating is very spacious as well. I would gladly go to this place again. I thank my best friend for telling me about this place!!!!!! read more

This place has the best Kobeedeh. The servings are on the large side and I'm not complaining. Their chicken is good here too but I wasn't a big fan of the lamb here. They are actually expanding their space next door. It'll finally be bigger read more

Dulles Kabob - Couldn't wait and I already sliced off a piece of the Kobeedeh before i took a pic - Afghan Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

When I saw how out of the way this place was, I figured it would either have the best food or the worst food. It's behind the Dulles Airport? Who drives by on the weekend? My roomie says it's the best kabab place around...but I've seen her cook...just kidding...I wonder if she ever reads my reviews? Went with a simple chicken kabab...and then something caught my eye. Sauces! That yummy green sauce--what the heck is it called--is not portioned out in tiny cups as with some kabab places in the area. They've got it on tap here in big squirt bottles. I was told it's made in-house and it's ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh so yummy. On its own, the chicken kabab is heavenly. Perfectly marinated and cooked. Very good bread. Also served with salad and rice, but no other sides? Pout The place was very clean and nicely decorated. Very tasty--if your GPS has the address, check it out. read more

Purchased dinner there several times over the last few weeks. The food is very delicious. Replaced the sale for chick peas with my meals. Had a great conversation with some of the employees one night. Highly recommend. read more

This is a great place, the food is excellent, the quantity and quality is excellent. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. Everything on the menu is wonderful. read more

A fast convenient place to grab a bite to eat. The meat is tender and flavorful and they are doing a great job during this pandemic.

We were at Ocelot Brewing and ordered kabobs to go. They were FANTASTIC. The meat was incredibly juicy and seasoned to perfection. You get two different types of rice and both are delicious. I 100% will order from here again. read more

Dulles Kabob portions are huge, and their kabob/gyro quality is top-notch. Normally they are a little on the high end of what I'd normally pay to grab a bite, but Tuesday gyro specials knock the price down to "incredible value" levels. Regardless, on special or not, their food is worth every penny. Both beef and chicken kobeeda wraps are awesome, and well mixed with a lot of flavorful spices. I'm pretty sure they use a fatty ratio of ground beef, because it comes out literally bursting with delicious meaty juices... Healthy? No. Delicious? HECK YEAH. Be prepared for your order to take 5-10 minutes longer to come out than any gyro orders, though. The expansion is nice, it's much less cramped now and is a great place for lunch groups. Service is fine - but it's a counter walk-up, so interaction is pretty minimal. Many days the line can get pretty extensive, so if you've got a large group for lunch, it's best to get there by 11:30 or so. For that reason, it's also good to call ahead for pickup orders. All of the kabob wraps are great, and both white and green sauces are dangerously addictive. I'm not sold on the extra value of getting the kabob platters, you get rice and a salad, but I think basically the same stuff as when you get a wrap (and there are salad greens in the wraps), only presented on a plate versus rolled up. (Exception: if you get the super mega combination platter that has multiple meats, etc.... massive amount of food) Pass on the samosas and chick peas, save room and eat the whole damn wrap. (Try to only feel minimal guilt later.) read more

Dulles Kabob - Chicken kabob salad take-out - Afghan Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Pretty decent kabob place. I got a combination platter of the lamb and chicken kabob. I really enjoyed the lamb a lot. Very flavorful and juicy. Probably some of the best lamb kabob I've had in the States. The chicken was decent. Not a ton of flavor, but alright. The tzatziki is a little spicier than usually prepared, but really great, and they have it in dispensers for you to take as much as you want! I was less than impressed with the chickpeas. They were more soupy than I like. They give a mix of brown and white rice, which was fine. My friend got the koobideh (ground beef) kabob and she said she likes it better than Kabob Palace in Crystal City, but I still hold Kabob Palace as being the superior kabob shop in the DMV. read more

Dulles Kabob - Chicken and lamb combo plate with chickpeas - Afghan Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This is the BEST hands down kabob place. I'm so happy it's local we eat kabobs elsewhere and it doesn't compare to this. I personally love the beef kobeeda the best and always order double meat with a salad, extra white onions. My husband favourite and my second is the lamb chops. My kids all love the gyro platters. The bread is huge and they give you one for each meal. We have been coming here for years and the customer service is spot on. read more

I love this place and have been coming here for awhile. Best authentic place around, but lately seems like they have "cut back" on their portions. I always get the chicken kabob and the chicken is much smaller now than what it was, rice portions are less, and kabob salad platter is less. I would have loved to give 5 stars but I hate when restaurants start cutting back...for the sake of your customers, please don't it's not worth it. I will begin to try other places now. read more

Delicious kabobs (also try their cornish hen). Reasonable price. Great portion size.

I used to think Moby Dick was pretty good until I tried Dulles Kabob and realized how commercialized MD is compared to this place. Nothing compares to the quality of the meat, the quantity of food that they give and the fluffiness of the bread here. I can't ever finish a platter in one sitting - I always have leftovers to take for lunch the next day and I couldn't be happier because it tastes just as good when reheated. Get the chicken and beef kobeeda combo platter. Chicken is never dry, beef tastes amazing, TONS of rice/salad and a huge piece of bread to sop everything up. So good. It's worth the price. read more

One of the best kabob places in the area. The kabobs and gyros are so flavorful and fresh. The quantity is excellent and the prices are below average prices in the area. If you ever want to taste great beef and chicken kabobs, this is the place to go. Previously, for me, it was a tie between Reston Kabob and Dulles Kabob, but with Reston Kabob closing down, this place is the clear winner. Rice is very flavorful. Their Kobeeda kabobs (both chicken and beef) are very tender, with a hint of spiciness. Their lamb options are very tender and juicy. Their gyro sandwich is full of meat and it takes an effort to finish off a sandwich on your own. read more

I ordered the chicken breast & beef kobeeda a la cart with a slice of bread asked for some onions on the side, and the food was amazing. They have the sauces in big bottles so you don't have to ask any extra. They have a huge space in the back, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Best kabobs for the price and portion. I recommend ordering the gyros which are packed and huge or the gyro platter (kofta platter and chicken platter are good too). The tzatziki sauce is more of a mayo sauce then cucumber and yogurt but is really good. The green sauce is great too (jalapeño and cilantro). Pretty cool how they make the naan slapping it on the sides of a huge cauldron giving it a nice char and perfect chewiness. Overall great food and good service. read more

This place is awesome. The quality of the food and amount they give you (platter dishes) is amazing! Both their white and green sauces are really good and the fresh bread they give you is HUGE! My wife and I love the gyro platter and one order is enough for the both of us. If you're hungry and too tired to cook dinner, you should definitely swing by this place and order carryout. read more

They are very generous and I've had some good meals there. Once my lamb was over cooked, this was a delivery. They make their bread on site, so it's super fresh however I find it too dry read more

I ordered takeout from here a couple of times. I usually get the chicken kabob and it's been consistently good each time. The chicken is moist and it's never been dry as I have had at some other places. It's located in a secluded shopping center off of 606 and you can't miss it from the road. Overall a decent kabob place, stop by if you don't feel like sitting in traffic during rush hour. read more

Best Kabob spot in Virginia can't say the whole DMV. It definitely VA love it never fails to satisfy. I've been coming here for a long time before the renovations same great food every time read more

This place used to be amazing!! Hadn't been there in a year. I ordered to go and gave a 30% tip expecting the same amazing quality. Jokes on me. Rice portions much smaller, the pita bread that used to be soft and pillowy and fresh was thin and hard and stale. Clearly couldn't take the time to make fresh bread. At least the meat was fresh and as amazing as it used to be, but that's one item out of six that I ate. I hope it was just an off day, but don't know if I will waste my money buying takeout from there again any time soon. read more

Great place for a delicious meal! I got the Chicken Kabob Platter and it was great! I ordered during the lunchtime rush and waited maybe 5 minutes. The gentleman at the register wore a big smile, greeting me as I walked in. I will certainly be returning next time I am in the area! read more

Biggest. Gyro. Ever. How the hell does this place make money when they carve half a lamb and place into one gyro? If you're looking for bang for your buck, this is a good bet. Bonus - the gyro was flavorful, moist, tasty. Extra bonus - they've got squeeze bottles of tzatziki and some other spicy sauce (which was great) at the tables to push the calorie count well into the four digits. read more

Worst service and deserves negative stars. So there's only one guy behind the front counter. I walk up to the counter and patiently wait for him as he doesn't even acknowledge me for a few minutes. No "hi!" No "I'll be right with you." He just doesn't acknowledge me at all. After a few minutes, another couple walks in the door behind me. He immediately turns to them, looks right past me, and takes their order. As if I didn't even exist. I'm not tiny. There's no way he didn't know I was there. He clearly knew the other people. I used to be a fan of this place. Now, I'll tell everyone I know they should do business with a restaurant who treats you like a customer. I was so annoyed, I literally said "that's alright -- it's not like I was waiting in line," as I walked out the door. He didn't care. Didn't apologize. Didn't give a darn. Wow. It takes a special kind of bad service for what this guy did. Sadly, I'm positive he's one of the owners. I urge all reading this to stay away from this horrible business, based on how they treat their customers. read more

We went to this place after a friend of ours recommended it. Our experience was a perfect example of how a place serving good food could mess up big time on service. I went there with my wife and two kids around 8.15 p.m. The place closes at 9.00 p.m. We ordered the food and they told us the kitchen was closing soon so we need to order everything - which we did. We got done eating before 9.00 but my kids were still eating. They started cleaning up the dining area and asked us to finish up since they need to close the place. I told them that kids would take their time to eat and they need to wait till they are done. I believe the two people manning the place where workers (not owners) because they said that owner only pays them till 9.00 p.m. so they can't wait. I asked to talk to the owner but I could not get to him. I have to admit that the food was good. We ordered chicken kabob and it was tender and fresh. Unfortunately, after this incident I am no mood to go back there. I want to have meals with my family in peace and don't like to be rushed! I hope they fix their customer service soon before they start losing customers like me. read more

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY, a GREAT kabob place around the Dulles/South Riding area. My girl lives in South Riding and there aren't any good food places around there. I was pumping gas at an Exxon and happened to notice a sign that said 'Dulles Kabob'. I was thinking 'hmm, never heard of this place, mehh, what the hell let's try it.' I got the Lamb and Chicken kabob and my girl got the Gyro. F***** GOOD FOOD! This is real food, not some generic bland crap that people are passing off as Kabobs these days. If you want good food, I HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

We visited this place a second time less then a month ago around lunch time during the weekday. A lot has changed. The food was not even close to what we had before!! The rice was so generic and bland that I wish I could eat the words I wrote before. It was nothing like the hot, steaming authentic Afghan rice I had the luxury of having at this place before. It was totally inferior - the rice grain, the rice taste / recipe, it was completely subpar. They obviously initiated shortcuts or changed cooks or cut costs. Big red flag. The kabobs? The boneless chicken kabobs I ordered were smaller and not anything like the juicy, plump, large chunks I recieved before - but still tasty. Nothing to write home nor a knockout on my plate about but pretty good. I ate all of them. The salad had improved in quality but it was still the same side of greens with a yogurt type ranch dressing over it. Just bleh. You could totally not eat it and not notice you had missed it. The bread was ok - evenly cooked, round, white, not tandoori oven baked with ridges like authentic kabob places have, but eatable. So not as great as before. When the food is not consistent, something is wrong. Not worth my $20 bill. So I am back in the market for finding that awesome kabob place in the Dulles area. . . so far, there is nothing like Food Corner Kabob in Springfield. read more

They've changed their signs to accomodate more combinations than just the usual meat selection. Gyro is pretty big, an elongated version of their bread with some lettuce and two half-slices of tomato for the shaved meat to nestle in. Not sure if they're still doing the punchcard offer but they certainly aren't advertising from behind the counter, and no longer have them lying about. I had to ask for the fountain soda that's advertised in the window as free with gyro; Dr. Pepper was a little flat but it isn't usually. Service is polite, the guy was amused to watch me try the bottled doogh. Baklava isn't really worth it, heavy and sweet but otherwise forgettable. Meat was moist, mild in flavor. Chickpeas were peppery and al dente, but not bad. Far cry better than the spinach, which is over-seasoned with finely ground black pepper to the point where you can't even taste the vegetable anymore. I ended up mixing the yogurt and green sauce in with the remaining chickpea sauce as a dip for my gyro. In platter form you get almost double the gyro meat, pre-drizzled in tzatziki sauce. read more

WARNING - THE SAME TONGS USED ON RAW MEAT ARE USED ON THE COOKED MEAT!!!! I went in to pick up an Ordering and the female staff member had put two brand new skewers on the grill she then proceeded to take off to cook chicken and add it to platters that were being served. I've been observed the male coworker use the tongs on both cooked and uncooked meat but in between both he dipped the tongs and water as if to sterilize it. This is a huge issue for consumers eating their food and a huge health code violation beware if you eat here that you could possibly be getting sick! read more

Best kabob place in the Dulles area. My boyfriend and I always come here to satisfy our kabob cravings. I usually get the chicken or beef platter but the last time I went, I got the gyro platter. It was better than the chicken and beef platter and will be getting the gyro platter from now on. The portions are huge as you get two types of rice, a naan and the meat of choice. I am always about to explode upon leaving and have to take the rest home to eat the next day. The food takes about five to ten minutes to get ready and they call your number. The restaurant itself is huge. There are two areas to sit with a sauce and soda stand in the back. read more

I've been coming to Dulles Kabob about once a week for a year now. It is the go-to lunch place for several of us who work nearby. Prices are appropriate. If you want something cheap and quick, get anything with gyro meat. If can wait 10 minutes and aren't on a budget, get the lamb. Their yogurt sauce (Tzatziki?) is the best in the area, and there is a bottle at each table. read more
