Outside
Malikah M.

Loved this place and it was a Flavor Bomb. The staff is extremely helpful and it's a chipotle with much better flavor. My son loved it and enjoyed the chicken and rice bowl. I had everything on my bowl which was delicious. Just know the spice is spicy. It's a simple quick place to order and keep it moving. If you want to eat, they do have cute tables and chairs outside.

Lives of to the hype on social media. Love this place for a solid quick easy dinner. I love to grab a bag of chips and get their walking taco with all 3 meats. They also offer a very generous military discount! The place is clean and has a very chill vibe. Workers continue to make me want to come back with their energy.

Fries
Daviña D.

Tried the quesadilla this time and the fries. Fantastic! Regular chicken, green peppers, onion, cheese, more cheese. The portion was generous and I could only finish a quarter of it. Flavor was excellent. I also loved the seasoning on the fries, and dipped them in the yogurt sauce! Sooo good! Food was fresh and ready very quickly. Staff taking orders and making the food was also friendly. Love Flavor Hive!

We heard about it and had to try it. Flavor Hive was all that we heard and more. My family brought our bags of chips and each was loaded with flavor. We liked it so much we sat outside in the cold and enjoyed our bags .

Fresh, delicious Halal Cart style bowls! Flavor Hive has been on my radar for ages and I finally had the chance to try it! The owners are Bangladeshi and Egyptian- I could definitely taste the amazing flavors from these cuisines influence the bowls! I got a mix of chicken and lamb gyro- I liked the gyro better, but the chicken was good too just less flavor than I anticipated. The salad fixings were tasty and fresh. The white sauce and spicy green sauce were delicious! The rice had a good South Asian tasting flavor as well. Very well done and it was quick to receive my food despite crowds. Ambiance is chill, it's near the McDonald's, but in an empty parking lot with ample spaces. I'd come again! I wanted their Date Chai, but they ran out! So I'll so come back for another bowl plus have their chai!! Perhaps I'll visit their Brick and Mortar shop in Annandale in the future!

Easy to find. Well lit area. The staff was kind and the lines moved fast. Food was really good. I would suggest eating in your car or brining a chair and sit outside your car to enjoy your food. Bring your favorite beverage. Get extra sauce. The sauce on top is not enough to last throughout the entire bag of chips. Heck, next time I might bring an aluminum pan or bowl so the sauce is on every chip. Hands down for $14 (my total) this can easily feed a family of 4 or five. My husband and I didn't finish the entire bag. I'd definitely go back!

Krazy Chicken and Gyro Loaded Fries

I heard about Flavor Hive and wanted to give them a shot. Not really my cup of tea but I decided to go anyway. Customer service is great. They do a wonderful job of limiting the lines. There are several stations where you can take your order as well as people walking around. They are good with suggestions and things run pretty smoothly. I personally ordered the chicken quesadilla while my kids both ordered Doritos Bags. I grabbed my wife the loaded fries. The bang for your buck is insane. They really pour on the food. I have no clue how people can eat a large bag in one sitting. They have to be taking half home. The food comes out piping hot. The chicken quesadilla was hot. You can taste the peppers and chicken. I'm not a peppers guy but wanted to give them a shot anyway. Without the peppers I probably would have LOVED it. Overall it was a cool experience. I wish there was someplace to sit down and eat beside my car or trunk but that's expected with a food truck. Some type of signage would be helpful as it is behind a big building and I wasn't sure if I was headed in the right direction. Cool spot. Everyone should try it at least once.

It's a pickup-only spot with just a couple of tables outside, so seating is limited. I ordered the regular chicken bowl -- since there weren't many people, service was quick and the place wasn't crowded. The food was fresh, delicious, and the service was great.

Gyro Pouch

I have had Flavorhive on my must-try list since July 2024 before it went viral. However, every trip to the DMV area usually involved me popping in and out - so when I finally had a long weekend in the region - it was go time! Flavorhive offers rice bowls, quesadillas, pita pouches, loaded fries, and other items. I decided to grab the most popular option: a walking taco chip bag for $10. I stopped at the grocery store and purchased blue corn chips, which would make my nutritionist proud. At the Alexandria location, there were several trucks, and to better control the crowd flow - one truck was responsible for payments, and then you would go to the other trucks to fulfill your order. The walking taco offers various protein options: chicken, lamb gyro, ground beef, and falafel. I grabbed the lamb gyro with all the veggies - tomato, cucumber, cilantro - minus the onions. There are two sauce options - green (spicy) and white. Initially, I didn't want any sauce, but after sampling it - I had to pour the white sauce all over. Was the 6+ months wait worth the hype? Yes, of course--the creaminess of the tzatziki sauce paired so well with the tenderness of the lamb and veggies. It was so filling I could eat the leftovers two more times (reheat in the air fryer).

I tried the new Annandale location. I luckily joined the line before it wrapped around the building. I know what you're thinking, another chicken/gyro platter place. I had to see what the hype was about and I kind of GET IT. This is probably one of the best cheap eats in the DMV. It's a fresh plate of delicious chicken and rice. I'm big on quality food and this was as fresh as it gets. You might have to wait 30 mins but it's worth it. They also do a BYOC option, where you bring a bag of chips and they load it up with meat, veggies and sauce. Excited to try!

Gyro Over Rice
Don B.

As much as I wanted to love this spot, it was just average. This spot has gone viral for their antics. The staff was very friendly, it's a food truck so you won't get a 5 star restaurant experience. The matcha soda was surprisingly good. A good combination of a sweet, earthy, carbonated drink. Sounds weird, but it works. A must try for all the matcha lovers out there. The quesadilla was cheesy, but the chicken seemed to lack flavor. Once the white and green sauces were added to it, it helped it out a lot. The rice bowl was a huge portion. You could feed two people off that bowl, the ingredients were fresh, but once again, the sauce carried the flavor. Go ahead and check it out for yourself.

Hammed A.

An excellent food truck experience at this Flavor Hive on Duke Street. The food is delicious and the customer service is always good. Their ordering system is very well thought out and efficient. The rice bowl is one of the best I've ever had among all cuisines. The business recommends not modifying the ingredients and flavor combinations to experience maximum flavor to which I agree. The fresh ingredients and sauces are an excellent combination. The portions are also epic. I wish they would open locations in MD. An overall very good experience and one worth experiencing for yourself. I'll continue to travel to this one.

Rice bowl with lamb
Melissa S.

So flavorful and such an amazing value- easily two meals in that bowl. Baby loved it too! Super friendly staff and the owner manager was there cheering on the team, just great vibes all around. Wish we lived closer!

There are a lot of hip new Ethiopian places in DC. This Alexandria spot has been around a long…read moretime, and feels like it, for better or for worse. More for better in my opinion. The online ordering system was a bit baffling. There were a million boxes to check when I ordered a veggie combo, but it wasn't clear whether, for example, a drink was included or whether I had any actual choice of vegetables. I left it mostly alone. Their menu is varied. I had three different choices of sambusas, the fried savory pastry, and their mixed vegetable one had potatoes, green beans, and a distinctive sour spice mix. A more conventional spicy lentil creation also fit the bill. Getting a veggie combo to go left me with a bunch of small containers, each with a delightfully distinctive option. You'll get a wonderfully balanced meal this way, with many colors, flavors and textures. I opted to spend extra money to get 100% teff injera (this flatbread is usually made with a mix of Ethiopian grain and regular wheat when you order it at restaurants), which was spongy and a bit too crumbly for my liking. Gluten-free diners, and indeed most people with special dietary needs, will rejoice.

Hawwi is such an absolute gem in our neighborhood. Prices are extremely reasonable, and the portions are huge! They are also extremely family friendly. I really appreciated that they had small actual silverware and mini bottles of water for kids. My favorite dishes are so far their lentil sambusas, the vegan sampler and the tilapia. The baklava is also absolutely out of this world. Please if you are in the neighborhood, visit this place. They will make you feel like family! I even used some of my leftovers for my daughters school lunch the next day, and she ate it all!

My friend recommend this place years ago but I've just never been near by. Luckily I was hanging…read moreout with some friends so we decided to go. Love that they have so many spice levels to choose from. I asked for the medium level and honestly it could be considered spicy to some. So if you're sensitive maybe go one lower than you think. The flavor is more than just spice though. The chicken is really well cooked and battered. The outside was crispy even with sauce all over. Also the fried okra was a sleeper agent, it was so addicting we all kept reaching for it. I'm personally not the biggest fan of waffle fries but these were cooked great. Great place to swing by and grab some fried chicken

Wooboi! New fan of their hot, spicy, juicy fried chicken. Not as crispy-crunchy as my all-time fave…read moreRoaming Rooster, but that's OK: I'm here to test out their spice levels. For context, I regularly enjoy spicy food: always top my pizza with crushed red pepper flakes, eat deli sandwiches with a layer of pickled jalapeños or banana peppers, and generally order medium-to-spicy levels for Thai, Chinese, and other cuisines. But I'm not one of those ghost pepper extremists, so I hesitated to try Wooboi's Code Red or Blue on my first visit and ordered Level 3 (Hot). Let me be clear: Level 3 is spicy, but I was proud of myself and ate the whole thing with no drama. It's got a little delayed effect and will make your tummy feel warm the rest of the day. Overall, a delicious spicy sandwich I'd make another trip to Alexandria for. I will be brave and try Code Red next. Tip: If you're going to go spicy, order cold bottled water (maybe 2) and the banana pudding - the dairy helped in between particularly spicy bites. Wish they served milk or milkshakes!
