I stopped in for lunch on a weekday after finding this place on a social media site. Upon entering, it's a very small, no-frills type of eatery with a few tables and comfy seats. There's a guy working there... he's the owner, chef, order-taker, etc. He's interesting and nice to chat with. He can prepare most any type of Pakistani dish, fresh-to-order. He uses a Tandoor to make naan and also makes his kabobs inside it, which is one of the two ways that's authentic (with the other being over a wood/coal fire, not over a gas grill, like most places). The food on my visit was amazing, tasty and fresh. The naan was incredible! He also serves "American" food like burgers, subs, etc, but if you like curries and such, stick to eating those here. The prices and service were very nice! I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back, soon! read more

Definitely will be coming back. Having to do low carb and asked for no beans and rice and he gave me a double portion of salad. Kabobs had an amazing taste and spice. Just enough heat to feel a tingle but not burn your mouth to where you can't taste anything else.. Very tender and juicy. read more

I always eat here. I mostly order delivery and sometimes I pick up my order. The owner is so kind and welcoming. The food is amazing. If you go here the chicken wings are so good as well as the chicken and beef plates! Grab an ice cream on your way out because they are really delicious and unique. read more

I totally recommend this place for a good lunch! read more

Hala Salt & Pepper - Chicken kabob - Kebab Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

The type of food you wished you never ate and want to vomit out if you did eat it. Their so called chicken gyro is something other than chicken, my friend. I eat chicken on the daily basis and it's not chicken whatsoever. I want to say it's thinly sliced sausage but I don't think it is either. My goodness what a mistake ordering from them. We ordered from a delivery service and if I saw the reviews from yelp, I would said "NO". The owner or employee of this place gave us 1 out of 2 drinks for our combos. We called to settle the matter professional and the person on the other line was immature, rude, and loud. No refund given for the inconvenience nor did they give us our drink. They closed the store before we can come get it. read more

I don't like to provide negative reviews. The place doesn't have AC and owner just turned on the fan, still was away too hot. My husband got sick next day from their food. He vomited food next day which looked exactly like meal we ordered. I would be very careful. read more

Great kabobs and a great price. Owner is very nice and has never been rude to me. The chana masala is very good. Small hole in the wall kinda place but I have learned that sometimes they are they best, like this place! read more

Really good kebab wraps and fries. Good food for the price Not sure what the sauce was but it was better than ketchup for sure. The guy was very pleasant and amicable. Would go back. read more

One of the best restaurants in virginia, the owner is a really nice friendly guy and the food is crazy good! read more

Hala Salt & Pepper - 4. Lamb Kabob - Kebab Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

I don't want to complain and write a lot I know we are here to make money and feed our family with having a small business like opening a restaurant but I would suggest if you could clean the front lobby where people eating and waiting for picking up their orders. As soon as I picked up my order I didn't eat it because the floor was nasty and I saw more than 4 dead cockroaches on the floor, when I went out I put the food in trash can. Running a restaurant doesn't mean you only cook food but you also think of how you keep everything clean and well organized. On the day when I stopped by I was so hungry as I was not eating breakfast, lunch all day working and busy outside until 330pm I was expecting that I would have a delicious beef & cheese burger, but that was not my day. read more

Came across Salt & Pepper Kabob through the daughter of the owner! Definitely the most amazing, delicious, and authentic food. A true hidden Gem! You get your money's worth for sure Cooked fresh with tons of flavor, and the BEST fresh naan bread! Owner/cook is very nice and always happy to cook for you! You can tell his love goes into your food! The restaurant is small but some of the best places aren't the fanciest! The Briyani and chicken kabobs with the chickpeas are my absolute favorite, and go-to! I have recommended this place to so many people! read more

Never had the chance to actually visit there in person but I had their food delivered to me and it was great. The flavor wasn't too spicy but just right and you can actually taste the ingredients in the dish comparing to other places where it's way too spicy and everything tastes the same. The portion was just right, not too much but just right. I will definitely eat there again and try other dishes read more

The owner is a really nice person and he has always treated our family friend and I with respect. I love their charga chicken. It comes on a bed or rice with lots of onions and tomatoes. It is made to order so it is always fresh too. read more

Hands down the best restaurant I have been to in MANASSAS. At first I was hesitant given its size and the understaff (but with Covid who am I to blame?) but I decided to listen to the many good reviews and boy am I glad I did. Prices were very cheap but quality was extremely high end. Nothing processed/fresh ingredients. I got the cheesesteak and let me tell you, I had the "best", or what I thought to be the best, cheesesteak in all of Philly (dalassandros), but the one I ate here was even better. It was a delicious taste I've never even tasted before, I literally can't even put it into words or describe it to you. You will just have to experience this place yourself to find out. Also, to the single employee there who took our order, you sir are a great man and you gave me the best customer service ever. read more

Food is okay. A solid 2/5. The facility is a bit of an eye sore. The floors are sticky anything you touch is sticky. Saw baby cockroaches running around. I wasn't sure if i should eat after i saw that but i had already paid him and was on my way out. The customer service leave much to be desired. read more

The owner/chef was extremely friendly and kind! This food was amazing n authentic. The facility itself has a very New York feel! I've only ate this kind of food once, and this restaurant didn't disappoint me. Definitely recommend. read more

I usually don't give bad reviews about places but It was the worst food ever, I ordered beef kabob and it wasn't cooked. Nasty food.. don't order from this place read more

I ordered 2 combo meals which come with two drinks, upon delivery I received my order incomplete. When I called to inform the merchant that my order was incomplete the merchant argued with me that I received everything because he made and packed my order before it was delivered. I read the order off the receipt that came with my food at which the merchant claimed I was lying even though unaware that he confirmed my receipt was correct and refused to honor the completion of my order which I already paid for. Instead of refunding me for the missing item the merchant continued to refuse my request for the refund and refused to send their driver back out with the rest of my order to fix the error in their part. I highly recommend not ordering here because I will not in the future. read more

When Salt & Pepper first opened it was amazing! I loved their Chicken Tikka. Overtime we noticed the quality of food was lacking. Spices missing. Chickpeas not available. Rice tastes bland and days old. The Chicken wasn't even a turmeric color the last time! Owner has forgotten the meaning of quality. Keep the menu simple but flavorful! I wouldn't accommodate to other cultures of food. Cook what you know and stick with it. read more

Looked at their yelp reviews, some good some not good . Chose what I was gonna order , called . Not sure a guy or a girl ( super rude) answered . Told him/her that I wanted an order of lamb chops , goat biryani for two ( per their Menue on yelp ) and a Chapli kabob . The person had no idea what I was talking about . Started to argue with me and told me to check the menu before ordering lol . Funny !!! I told that person that I was looking at the menu as I was calling. I was told that there's not such a thing as goat biryani but they can make it for $15.99 per order for one . Which is supposed to be 8.99! Then got upset and told me that they are super busy and has no time and He/she will call me back. Seriously????? Tiny place , I was giving you business and I could've been your regular customer since I live close by . Your loss ! Famous kabob and zam zam minutes away ! I'm happy that I will spend my money where I feel welcomed and where no rude people are answering telephones and run customers away ! Sad !!!! read more

I buyed meat from this uncle for many years.. and I had been waiting for him to open his restaurant. The uncle that cooks the food tahir uncle is also a well known amazing cook. So it's been a few weeks since this place opened..the husband has given me a break from cooking since this place opened we have got takeout a few times already. Their biryani is mouth-watering. Their chicken tikka is finger-licking good! Today... they made a specialty curry called qorma... it tasted just like it was homemade. The uncle told my husband that tomorrow he is making paye.. so again tomorrow night I'm off of kitchen duty because my husband wants to try their paye. So to summarize... give this place a try.. you won't regret it. I forgot to mention.. they have the most amazing t-bone steak I have ever ate. The guys have amazing personalities but really on top of that they really know how to do Pakistani food. I'm so thankful that I am less then a mile from them!! Also I forgot to mention their prices are not crazy like other places. For 10 bucks most places only give enough food for 1 person. For 10 bucks.... Me and my husband ate till we were full and we had leftovers. 5 stars and beyond!!! read more

The food is good, but the owner cook who ever he may be has no courtesy. No manners, no respect for woman. Terrible customer service, there's a reason no one goes to this place. Always dead whenever you drive by. Absolutely disgusting interior, sticky floors. This place would get shut down if health inspector came. Called to ask about prices and new buffet they offered, rudely said come take a look. Said I offer three items for $7.99 what do you expect. That's not how to speak to a customer. Terrible ignorant guy running this place, hate to say it because I am desi myself, but he is a old fashioned typical Pakistani mentally guy. Terrible customer service. read more

Screwed up my order. Rice is so spicy to the point you cant even tell its rice. Chicken taste like it been cleaned with bleach or something before being cooked. No season on the chicken. read more

Omg this is the spot just try to get there before it gets busy in the afternoon they get slammed !

Came in today for the first today and had a great experience. I ordered the steak and cheese combo and cheese sticks as an extra and both tasted great. The meat in the steak and cheese was cooked fresh, well above what normal restaurants offer. These types of restaurants always do a wonderful job with authentic food. The owner (also the chef) was friendly with a welcoming attitude (opposed to what another review mentioned) and I also met some other friendly patrons as well. Good prices on the menu to boot. read more

My fiance and I tried this place today. First I'll mention the name is now Kabob Place. The owner was nice and accommodating. He gave generous portions! I had the grilled chicken kabob n my fiance had the gyro. Although the chicken had no color it was tender n flavorful. The spinach was good too. The naan was delicious!!! A favorite of mine. The gyro average. However, the rice was bland and the chick peas tasted like it came out of a can. Will try again. Overall not bad... read more

Great crispy samosas! I also ordered the gyro wrap. My only complaint is the meat was frozen instead of fresh. Other than that it was a tasty wrap. This place is right by my house and I will be getting food from there again. A hidden gem! read more
