Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you--this place is an absolute treasure. When I walked in,…read morethe restaurant was cold, and no one was at the counter for the first five minutes, so I wasn't expecting much. Hence why I didnt take any pictures. But once I took my first bite, I was hooked. Hands down, this was the best gyro/pita-style sandwich I've ever had! I ordered a mix of lamb, chicken, falafel, and gyro meat, and every single bite was incredible. The flavors were bold, the meat was perfectly seasoned, and the sauces were out of this world. The bread, which was similar to naan, took everything to the next level--it was soft, warm, and perfect for wrapping up all that deliciousness. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful food that will blow your expectations out of the water, don't skip this place. It may not look like much, but trust me, it's worth it! I'm already planning my next visit.

After a long hiatus, the seventh installment of my "Kabob Kompendium" profiling various kabob…read morejoints in the DMV region broken down into a set of common criteria: 1) ethnic focus 2) kabobs 3) side dishes 4) rice 5) condiments 6) bread 7) x-factor (s) 1) Ethnic focus: Pakistani, although curiously they feature some gyro sandwich options 2)) Kabobs- a bit dry and lacking in the succulence factor, seasoning also appears superficial perhaps due to insufficient marinade time or just choice of breast meat rather than thigh for the chicken kabobs 3) side dishes- side salad is filler with iceberg lettuce and few cukes/tomatoes without dressing (substitute out), chickpeas were pretty standard with a hint of spice 4) rice-bland and perhaps slightly undercooked or intentionally more firm, but I prefer a more flavorful fluffy or moist rendition 5) Condiments- mint yogurt chutney with pleasant note of fresh mint and heat, not overpowering but necessary to perk up the bland aforementioned rice and dry chicken 6) Bread- puffy naan bread with nice buttery finish but becomes rubbery if not consumed immediately 7) x-factor- maybe it's the economy in general, but price point seems high, I got a BOGO special for the chicken kabob platter for $20 but I wouldn't necessarily pay for one meal at regular price. Overall, if chicken kabobs were on the Cheesecake Factory menu, this version would be on the skinnylicious menu for those counting calories and preferring a healthier less indulgent version since flavors seem muted and textures appear lacking due to insufficient oil/grease.

Great customer service! The guys that work there are so nice and friendly, makes you feel welcomed…read more I bought fries today and once before when I visited there ordered chicken. Food is made to order, hot and fresh. Pretty decent food.

I randomly walked in here after discovering it in a shopping strip…read more I tried the chicken and lamb platter and fries. I enjoyed everything I tried. The meat was flavored well and it didn't feel greasy. The fries had a good flavor to them. I got a lot of food;it will last me three meals. Next time, I want to try the baklava cheesecake,Dubai chocolate, and the chicken cheesesteak. They looked really good. The customer service was also great. I wanted to switch up an item and they were willing to do it after my order was already made. I didn't have them do it but I thought it was really kind of them to be willing to do so. I ate the food too quickly and forgot to take pictures.

Sign as you walk in says "carry out only," but there's a couple highchair tables that allow you to wait for your food. It's a small place, meant for you to order takeout. Order-taker was very pleasant. I asked if it was okay to sit there and eat my sandwich and was told yes. The 8" sub came on a delicious toasted bun. The steak was well seasoned and had a good amount of gooey melted cheese on top. This is a solid sub and I would definitely come back to have it again. I'd also return to try some of the other food that looks delicious on their website.

This place stood out in the reviews and has become a go to when I want nan and my food to be flavorful and done right. I have frequented this place enough to be recognized by the staff who always greet with a smile and "Hello, Brother." I recommend the chicken tikka masala and the butter chicken as those are my go to.

The family that owns this quaint restaurant is from Karachi, so this is authentic Pakistani cuisine, not the typical flavorless kabob joint! They have a interesting menu with all the typical grilled and curried favs. I tried their chicken karahi (A.K.A. Chicken Qarai) and asked for it spicy and it was perfect! Lots of nice spice flavor, as well as decent heat. I also opted for their chicken biryani and it was spot-on! The chicken in it was flavored excellently and tender too, definitely not over-cooked and the rice was the proper texture, not too moist and gummy. There was so much food, I took half home and saved room for dessert, as they have home made kheer here. The kheer was really really good!! They're working on getting their food delivery set up too... Stop in and give them a try!

It did get really busy as we were there and our food took a bit. I think a few people also ordered online for pickup so the order stuff was getting made was unclear. I ordered a smashburger and it was great. Nothing too crazy but very delicious. My brother got the chopped cheese and enjoyed it. The best part was something that we ordered to share, the Chapli Chopped Cheese Loaded fries. It wasn't on their menu boards yet but I had seen it on their instagram and had to try it. It was delicious! I would definitely come back and get those again. It had a great flavor, the sauce was delicious, and the fries were still relatively crispy despite the amount of sauce and toppings. Overall, a great spot that I would recommend to others and will definitely coming back soon!

The dry goods is where they focus most of their supply- importing all kinds of different products. I was able to buy jaggery in my own desired quantity, which is great! The baked goods section and hot and cold bars is fantastic. Had to stop myself from buying too much. They have incredible afghan bread, puff pastries, simit (circular bread), samosas and fresh baklava and kunafeh. Great for those who search for these middle eastern staples and those who want to try something new!
