    Lamb kabob

    This is my go-to spot for Afghan food! Their dumplings (mantu and awshak) are the best I've ever had at a restaurant. They also cook their lamb very well! Their food tastes home made, and their service is great, making you feel right at home! Overall, I highly recommend trying Grill Kabob Express if you're craving authentic Afghan food!

    It's a gem. They have the BEST kabobs! We tried lots of Kabob restaurants in the area. This place is our favorite! Food is automatically ( in our humble opinion) fresh and delicious! Portion, price, service and quality is very great! Their bread is super good! Can't say enough about their food!

    @grillkabobexpressva Great and tasty food served up by a lovely family in Fairfax that's been operating for over 10 years! I don't know how I've never had Mantoo's before because they were phenomenal. Mantoo: STAR of the show, these dumplings were not only so pretty but SO tasty and probably my new obsession. Chicken tikka kabob: Cooked well, a classic and my usual go-to. Chicken & beef koobidah combo: Another classic but the seasoning on these were SO flavourful. The sides: bread, rice, chickpeas, chanti & white sauce were all sooooo good and paired perfectly with the entrées. Definitely worth a visit and I know I'll be going back next time I'm in that area! - insta @ SpicyAivy

    Came here today for my lunch. It's good place to eat lunch. Taste was great and service was okay. This is my favorite kebab place.

    If you looking for great authentic Afghan kabob spot look no further. I highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy delicious dishes. Amazing customer service and atmosphere with great prices for quality of their food.

    My regular kabob joint. They have a bunch of delicious options and also fresh daily sides. I ordered the super deluxe meal $21.95, which has a skewer if each meat, lamb, chicken, steak and kobidah. It also comes with salad and side of choice of veges and we chose the chickpeas. The amount on Deluxe is definitely enough for 2-3 people. I also ordered kids chicken meal with fries for the little one. They are super friendly and provide quality Afghan and halal kabobs.

    I ordered 4 platters for an event on a Sunday. The restaurant doesn't officially cater on Sundays so they combined the platters into a family style format. The lamb and chicken were excellent. The beef kubideh was a bit dry, which is unfortunate because it is usually my favorite. The Afghan bread was half delicious and half tough and overly chewy. This shop has really well done green and white sauces (which can be hard to find).

    I've done delivery several times here and came in once in person for carry out. You really like the kubideh chicken and beef (minced meat with spices). The rice is good and so is the flatbread. We usually have leftovers. the place itself is a little bit of a hole in the wall. There are a few people eating in and it's more of a order at the front and self-serve.

    Rice and kabob was great. Side of bread and chatni sauce were the cherry on top. Hit the spot. Would recommend.

    The food was very dry but also lacked any flavor whatsoever. I live close by to here but will travel further to get better kabobs.
