This place was packed around lunch time, the line was out of the door but it moved fast so don't hesitate to wait a bit if you have the time. I got the falafel plate which came with chickpeas, rice, flatbread and salad. The rice was good- a BIG portion of rice. It comes with a seasoned rice and plain white basmati rice as well. The falafel was good size and had some texture to the outside of it. The chickpeas were ok, I've had better. The bread was also really good, freshly made and very soft! The sauces are good, the green sauce is made with a ton of mayo but people seem to love it. It wasn't my favorite. I actually liked the spicy cilantro sauce better! read more

We love it here especially for to go. Their kubidah and chicken are our favorites! The bread and salad dressing is really good as well especially with the green chutney sauce. read more

Had the chicken and kobeeda (beef) kabob with rice and salad and bread. It was great! Chicken was very moist and the beef was a little spicey and wonderful. Highly recommend this place and it's a huge amount of food! read more

Beef kebab is delicious. But busy or slow, you're gonna wait about 15 minutes. Not the end of the world. Just saying they're likely short staffed in the kitchen. read more

Grill Kabob - 1. Kobeeda Kabob Platter - Afghan Near Me - Reston, Virginia

GK Dulles Town Center has the best chicken kabob platter so I was hoping GK Reston was on the same level, different location but I left with a so-so attitude. I ordered my usual (to-go chicken kabob with all white rice). + counter staff was sweet and friendly + order was accurate - prep/to-go time was super slow, waited more than 10 minutes (though I would rather have my chicken cooked 100% properly than receive rushed food). I'm so used to the quick turnaround at the Dulles Town Center (way more foot traffic) than the Reston location, I got antsy. - white sauce was more tangy and sour than GK Dulles read more

Used to love this place. After a hefty price increase last year, kept going. Now- they have shrunk the containers they use so you're getting MAYBE 75% of previous food but at the higher cost. Not a full meal now. read more

Don't go to this place for take out. Being a fan of kabobs I have tried three times to do take out. Every single time they screw up the order. They are either incompetent or cheating. Here is my last order. I paid for two double chicken kobideh get home and see only one skewer in both my take our boxes. The lady at the counter doesn't care one bit about customers and there is no management there to do anything. Just shut your doors and let another worthy reata read more

Grill Kabob - One skewer broken! - Afghan Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Worst customer service ever. Had to wait 15 minutes extra while my order had been ready and bagged up. Had to eat cold food. Worst front desk person I've cone accross. Really disappointed as I actually like this place. read more

Although, there food is good. Not sure why whenever I have tried it. The next day my stomach gets upset. I think it is because of the sodium content in their food being high, but I don't have the same problem with other restaurants hence not sure but maybe something the team can look into. Now I don't order from here cause of my stomach issue later, but their food taste is really good. read more

When I went back in 2019 the man working was nice and I was impressed with the portion of my food. I've only ever had the chicken kabob which has always been decent, and the food still keeps me full. The service from the women working there, however, is subpar and cold. Also be prepared to wait a bit for your food to come out. read more

Jog away from this dump. Plaza Americas has never had anything great but this beat-up place took 20 minutes to do falafel to go. Cold food was warm; warm food was cold! Gross ! Also they have one of those tip suggestions that are designed to guilt you into giving them 25% !! Never again !! The place stunk too. Go to "Falafel guys" in Bethesda if you want a good fresh falafel wrap. read more

Ordered the #1 Kobeeda Kabob, very tender and tasty. The rice and salad were perfect with the ground beef kabob, along with the side of chick peas and flat bread included. The white sauce made the dish even better. I could've eaten half and saved the rest for dinner, but I ended up eating all of it like a little piggy because it was so good. Plus I didn't have breakfast but that's no excuse. I washed it all down with a refreshing ginger ale. Now I'm back home and it's nappy time. This is good fast food, healthier than the burger joints. read more

I eat here about once per week. There's nothing special about this place except one thing: the kabob. It's good. Very good. The chicken is my favorite but other options are also ok. There used to be a place on the other side of 267 that did kabob this good, but it shut down, so happy I found this new option. I could nit-pick and find a reason to give it 4-stars instead of 5. But why? Kabob here is good. Oh. I thknk I already said that. read more

Discovered this Grill Kabob location when driving through Reston, from Dulles Airport. Had a choice between here and Zoe's Kitchen next door to have a Salmon Kabob. So glad I chose this place bc the Salmon was tender on the inside and delicately crispy on the outside with flavorful seasonings. The rice was moist and the salad fresh and bread warm. I loved it! The service was just a tad on the slow side but worth the wait in my opinion bc the salmon was cooked and seasoned with just the right amount of pizzazz, and with fish, you don't want it undercooked (not good) or overcooked (dry). So my wait time was acceptable bc I was not in a hurry. Have to give 4 stars only bc this is my only visit so far, but I'll be back! read more

So so to be honest: I've been a few times. There's nothing wrong with the food and, because it's near my house, delivery times tend to be quick. BUT...uh....meh for the most part. At a recent dinner, beef was chewy and a bit overcooked (not that kabobs are supposed to be medium rare) and rice boring. While the menu promised hot sauce, the actual package came with two kinds of salad dressing...had to rummage around in my fridge to perk things up. Gyros sandwiches were better with lots of meat but, despite the generosity, had rather little flavor. Even in the Herndon-Reston area...you can do better. read more

got the lamp kabob, beef kabob and gryo. meats were flavorful and moist. sides (salad, rice, chick peas and flat bread) all solid. love the green sauce even better than Peruvian and Indian green sauces! read more

Food is great- my kids love it. Orders are prepared in timely manner & have always been accurate. The staff has always been professional & friendly. read more

My man really has good memories for this place and he was heart broken to hear that I thought it was ok. They did make fresh bread right when you order, and the yogurt sauce was my favorite. He really likes the Chana here, it has a strong black pepper flavor. read more

Well too expensive and not delicious at all. I've been to many Mediterranean restaurants and this is by far the worse. Service is not that good in this location either!! read more

Par for the course, delicious food. Cant really go wrong as the food quality is consistent at all locations. Dining area is very clean. Service is polite and professional as to be expected. No funny anecdote or hyperbolic review here. Good food, good service.... nuff said. read more

Wrong order given for take out. Waited over half hour for an incorrect order! Emailed them twice and nothing! read more

Nice staff good food. Had gyro it was huge ... couldn't finish it. Came with chickpeas that was unusual combo but made perfect sense because they were savory!! On the tables they had tahini for those who wanted extra sauce. Restaurant looks great... not cheap I must say but worth it. read more

Midweek lunch time with a light breakfast and a reception planned for tonight. Tried Grill Kabob Reston for the first time. Service was polite and quick. Ordered the Gyro Platter which was too much food, but, it tasted great. Lots of lunchtime business, but, all customers were accommodated in a timely manner. I will be back! read more

Good place for kebab but can have better customer service. Was new to this place and went in evening to order take out. When told being new to place , the lady at the restaurant, rather than recommending something, asked us to refer the menu. That was point down right over there. It was not a busy time as there was no one around. Having that said , we took the chicken kebab , that came with rice(two types) , salad , a naan . We also got Baklava (separately). Portion size was good. The chicken was fresh, moist but could have been more flavorful. The Baklava was definitely not worth it. It was dry and slightly soggy. Not worth the price the menu is. The customer service can be improved. Will definitely try other kebab places before checking this place again. Rated this three only because of unwelcoming experience and less flavorful food. read more

Good food, but took forever to make and get during lunchtime. Came in to try this newish place as I had seen it while driving through this shopping center in the past. It was empty, though at 2:20 pm, I'm not surprised! Ordered a Beef Kabob Salad as I need to cut back on the carbs even though the rice at a kabob place is delicious. I would have thought it would have been up in 15 minutes, but I was there almost 30 before the food was ready. Though it took a long time, the food was a very good. I got a healthy amount of bread, as well as an order of chickpeas in a delicious, but spicy sauce. Had plenty of white sauce and a container of green sauce, but I chose to just eat the salad as is with the beef and plenty of salad and vegetables. Everything in the salad was fresh and crisp and tasty. The meat, definitely marinated in a blend of sauce and spices was delicious and very filling. I'm usually completely filled up on salad, but this definitely kept me full for a while. Only downer was how long it took to prepare. If it takes this long during a lunch rush, people are going to be waiting a long time to get their food and won't be happy. I'll try again in regards to that. But I am very happy with the food itself. Give this place a try! read more

I used to love their food til now. I ordered two chicken kabob platter and both plates had OLD lettuces. Disgusting!!! They usually don't put any white sauce but today they put it on the salad. I see why! They were trying to hide the OLD vegetables!!! read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. The front desk lady lied about my order and after checking with the cooks, she knew she was wrong. She never apologized or even attempted to make the situation any better. read more

This is by far the best food in the area. The portion is big for combination plate that I always have left over to take it for lunch the next day. I love the Chicken Kobeda, seasoned well and so delicious! My family like the chicken and beef kabob. The sides that come w/it is so tasty, chickpea, spinach. A huge size of a flat bread come w/it as well. The service is awesome, efficient and professional! Highly recommended! read more

Stopped by this Reston location during lunch hour for the second time in a month, and again experienced bad, bad stomach ache an hour later. Not sure if they rushed to move then meats off the grill to catch up with the orders, but my chicken kabob was ready in less than 5 minutes from the call. Or maybe the green dressing on the table was previously cross contaminated with something. Probably won't eat there again anytime soon. read more

**GLUTEN FREE REVIEW** I swung by this place today to pick up lunch during the work day and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was, and how much I got. I ordered the veggie kabob platter (the only thing that I wasn't able to eat was the bread that comes with it). I got huge amounts of rice, the veggie kabob (which is chic peas and veggies), a salad, and a container of chic peas. I have plenty of left overs for dinner tonight! It was flavorful but not overwhelming, and you get a lot of food. I recommend giving this place a try! read more

First time at Grill Kabob and it didn't disappoint. I had the lamb kabob platter. The lamb was flavorful and tender. Two types of rice and a chickpea stew with salad is included with the platter. My son had the beef and chicken combo platter. The chicken was more spicy than the beef and both were delicious. The staff are nice. The tables are clean. The prices are more than reasonable for the amount of food you get. The samosas were also delicious. I would definitely return. read more

Nice and clean place. Had dinner and food was very good. The green sauce is very surprising good, the white sauce is creamy. Perfect combination with the green sauce. Basmati rice is just perfectly seasoned not salty not too blend it was very good. It's a big serve meal for one person. Mimosas is good and the flat bread is hot and crunchy. I will recommend this kebab place. Enjoy! read more

The food here is pretty good for the most part, and the portions are pretty big. I've only tried take out and never actually eaten at the restaurant because the seats are very limited. The only downside of this place is that the staff aren't really friendly and are just busy talking with each other. read more

I don't like leaving poor reviews when the service is good, the parking is free and the restaurant is clean. However, a plate of tasteless carbohydrates with one sad lamb kebob stuffed between too much rice and some shreds of lettuce, with one soda and a price tag of $18.53 is a total rip-off, even for over-priced Reston. If I see a sign advertising kebobs the Kashmiri in me is going to have to have lamb of some sort. This ain't it, kid. read more

Another casual fast restaurant- nice to see places filling in the empty store fronts. Its pretty bare inside, with a small counter to order at. The staff was friendly and quick. The food was decent- the gyro sandwich had good flavor but hardly any tzaziki on it, and the other dishes we had ordered to go didn't come with any sauces, which was a disappointment. All that said, I feel like it was way overpriced for the portions and quality. It was better than Moby Dicks for sure, but there are a few other kabob places in the area that are better in my opinion. read more

Been here a few times. The food is usually pretty good. The service... deplorable. Don't bother going in for a take-out without calling ahead because you'll be here for 30+ minutes and thats if they don't give your order to the wrong person. Yes that happened. The employee responded with "Well thats why I gave you a number". I received no number. In desperate need of some legitimate management. 2/10 and thats being considerate of the fact that, again, the food is usually good. read more

Their kabob is really good. The problem is the tzatziki sauce. Its supposed to be made with yogurt. They use mayonaisse instead. Its not healthy n I like the yogurt one more. The rice, bread and meat are really good though. I googled the recipe for the sauce thinking there might be a mayo variation but all the recepes called for yogurt. It would be lot more healthy and i like the yogurt taste more read more

Good moist, freshly made kabob with generous portions and nice treatment The kubideh+ chicken is solid. Ambiance is nice for a fast food joint read more
