    Amazing!!! I am visiting and this is my first time trying this type of food. The chickpea soup is delicious. The rice is amazing. The chicken has so much flavor. The bread is delicious and the white and green sauce served with my meal is by far the best sauce I've ever had. I'm so happy I stopped by. Thank you!!!

    This is a very good small authentic Persian kabob grill. I have been here twice now. I have had their grilled chicken kabob with rice & salad & also their gyro sandwich. Everything was delicious! They have a wonderful savory vinegar green sauce condiment that they offer with their selections. They also have the equivalent of a tzatziki sauce but it does not have a garlicky, cucumber, dill flavor to it. It is much more mild but still good. This little establishment is located on the far end of the Aldi Supermarket strip mall near PartyCo. The interior is very simple: tile floor, orange painted interior with granite 2 top tables throughout with pleather seated chairs. There is an assortment of Persian memorabilia & photos on the walls for decor. The staff are very nice, polite, helpful, kind & gracious. It is tidy & clean. They did not have any discernible music piped over the PA system. They look like they have a good stream of customers during lunch & throughout the day. The prices are quite reasonable & the portions are generous. I REALLY like this place. The food is consistent, the prices are great & the staff are wonderful. I will definitely be adding this to my rotation whenever I am in the Manassas area! DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED! ENJOY!

    This was by far the worst experience I have had with a kabob place thus far! I usually order from Grill Kabob and I love their food but tonight was embarrassing! I spent 80 dollars on an order for my family and all of the beef I ordered tasted like lamb. When I called the speak to the restaurant the man was very rude and not helpful!!!! He was talking over me and yelling at me. For someone who has worked in hospitality for 10 years I was highly offended by his behavior. He didn't offer to replace or fix anything he just wanted to argue that what I was tasting wasn't lamb. Nothing was done to gain my satisfaction. Maybe a lack of cleanliness is the issue as a lot of lamb orders are placed. Not to mention the food is tasteless and bland. I will never order from this place again! Maybe your establishment could use a customer service training or two. Happy holidays!

    Nice people, nice place, okay foods This is the only kabob place I don't get thirsty afterwards because they don't use MSG in their food. Thank you!! The beef kabob was so-so for me but the chicken kabob was yummy! The naan was pretty good too

    Absolutely amazing food. The kabobs are excellent of course but don't miss out on the Qabeli Palaw (pictured) or the mantoo and ashak dumplings.

    Thissss is the NEW SPOT! I loved the food! It's non expensive and comes w. a decent portion. ONE meal is enough for two people .. the inside is nicely set up. Clean, tables, lovely design, clean floors, even the restroom smells refreshed! It didn't take the food long at all to cook. It was brought to us. Very polite employees. Thank you!

    I don't have much experience with Afghan food, so I can't say how this place ranks compared to other Afghan food places. As far as FOOD goes though, this place is pretty freakin' awesome. You get great flavors, great price, and real food! I'm planning on trying every single menu item in the future. So far, I've tried the chicken tikka, the lamb chops, and the beef and chicken kobidah combo--all were delicious! The 2 different kinds of rice had great flavor! My husband is all about the chicken kabob sandwich. I'm just so happy to have found a new go-to place in the area!

    First time ordering from this place. Got the Beef Tikka (filet mignon) and the hubby ordered the lamb chops. Everything was really well seasoned and they definitely didn't skimp on the rice. I do wish however that they gave more meat for the price but overall I would order from here again.

    Wanted to trying it and trying to reduce the carbs... of course your meal come with tasty rice(2 kinds) and a huge flat bread toasted on a grill... I ate 1/2 of that and the chicken and lamb kabobs were very yummy!

    Came in after 5 pm, to dine in with the family. We got 3 orders, the wait time was faster than any other places we've been to. The food was sooooo good! Meat perfectly cooked, no meat fats, the rice has an amazing taste plus the chickpeas are the best. The naan was fresh and hot! Their service was good. The interior of the place is good for all ages. The noise level is significantly low! Which is always an A plus. Definetly would come back.

    I stopped in here for lunch while my daughter had art class across the street…read more Food: I ordered the kubideh beef kabobs, and the they were cooked perfectly and had a good taste. The little mini salad that comes with the meals had a really good dressing, and I enjoyed it. I didn't really like the chick peas. I prefer the ones at Charcoal Kabob in Herndon which are lot more spicier. These had a more tomato flavor to them which I've experienced at other kabob places. Also didn't care for the white yogurt sauce. It tasted and felt more like a salad dressing. The green sauce was really good, and I stuck with that for dipping. Service: fast casual. You go to the counter, order, pay, and they bring the food to your table. Ambiance: nice, new, and clean. Pretty generic. You could sub in any cuisine. I thought the prices were on par with any other kabob places, only most other places serve their meals with naan. Not here, but the portion sizes are big enough to fill you up. Overall, I'm happy I came and tried it out.

The portions are great and the food quality tastes good. I normally get the platter which comes with protein and two sides. I wish it allowed a combo kabob rather than one protein. If you do combo they hike the price up l, it's an additional $7-9. I think $25 is a bit excessive, but that's typically only if you do two types of protein instead of one. Food preparation normally is about 15-20mins. There's parking out front and plenty of indoor seating.

I want to tell you what happened to me and if you ate at this location on Friday afternoon through Saturday 4/10-11/2026, and if you had the same experience then this may give you answers. I ordered takeout (3 kebab mixed platter, I think chicken, lamb, shami And an appetizer of aushak. It came with Qurma meat sauce and rice and veggies. I usually only eat one time a day and only had coffee that morning. I took the food back to my hotel and ate probably 1/2 of it, only sampling the qurma and kebabs and rice and veggies and a couple of aushak. I woke up the next morning early, went to see customers and started feeling a little weak. By Saturday evening and before dinner I was starting to get chills and not feeling right. Sunday morning I woke up with severe stomach pain and diarrhea. It is now 4 days later and I am still more sick than I have ever been in my life. I laid in bed on Sunday & Monday and flew home on Tuesday and went strait to an emergency room where they did a CT and bloodwork and found no issues with gallbladder or pancreas and bleeding, only lots of irritation in the GI track and that I was dehydrated. Since I was not vomiting, The Dr. said it is probable food poisoning. It is Wednesday 4/15 and I am still very sick, nothing to eat in 4 days beyond water, coke, ginger ale and a handful of saltine crackers which all of this has ran through me like water through sieve. I am not saying that it was this places food that caused my sickness, but I am saying that this was my timeline and this is what happened to me and if it happened to you, maybe this give some clarity. I am washing my sheets and covers right now because I shit to bed twice last night. I have been praying to God that I live.
