    This place is totally legit! They have awesome Mediterranean style cuisine which never disappoints! It's small and a little divey but this place is all about the food which is awesome! They have Lunch Specials (M-F until 3PM) where you can get Chicken or Kafta Kababs or Shawarma Meat with two sides for $12.99. That's one of the best lunch deals in town! It is on my regular restaurant rotation list! Friendly staff with good service too. If you love Mediterranean cuisine or are on the Mediterranean Diet and don't feel like cooking, this is the place for you!

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    I needed to grab a quick bite before going to the airport and decided to stop here. The chicken and rice blew me away! The flavors were so good! The green sauce had a nice kick to it as well. The fries were also delicious! I couldn't complain about the $18-20 price tag! What an amazing combo! Don't sleep on this place!

    Have been coming to Jasmine for years and introduced my buddy to them the other day. Looks like they changed ownership and updated the decor but still have the same flavors and tasty dishes. We got the grilled chicken kabobs, hummus, rice and salad. The garlic sauce is the best!! Great for take out or dine in. Check them out if you want a filling and balanced meal with lean protein. Perfect for post workout fuel.

    Here we were eating at this delicious restaurant again! Let me tell you this - the food is delicious. The customer service is great! The price is a bit high for what we got but I don't blame this restaurant- that my friends is the economy we have in Washington DC right now driving our prices out of control. (End of politics rant ) The price for both of us was about 22 bucks each and considering we ate delicious lamb, two huge bowls lentil soup , two different kinds of hummus and drinks - I have no complaints. It is delicious food ! If you don't try it - you've missed out.

    I love this place I would love to try the lamb chops next. I have a three meat(shrimp,beef,chicken) kabob plate with yellow rice and bell peppers red onions.There was a salad with a very strong lemon flavor that I didn't really care for but it taste very healthy. All the meat had so much flavor packed in cooked to perfection cost about $25-$30 a plate

    On our way back from the airport my mom and I stopped for lunch at Jasmine Grill. It had terrific reviews on yelp and was only about 3 miles from our location at the time so off we went. My mom loves Mediterranean food, especially lamb. I will never turn down a chicken Shawarma plate and this one boasted being carved off the traditional vertical rotisserie which is not as common in the US. We both had a choice of two side items with our main entrée. We both chose the yellow rice and a side salad. Our side salad isn't pictured, but it was full of vegetables, particularly tomatoes and cucumbers. A delicious vinaigrette on it and had the addition of mint, which was a very pleasant flavor. When our main entrée came out, we were both surprised how generous the portion was. Prices for entrées ranged between $14-$18 but we both felt it was a great value. Neither of us finished our rice, which was delicious, but we just didn't have room after eating, our generous portion of meat. One thing I do want to point out is that we fell in love with the little cup of garlic paste they served alongside our dish. we both could not get enough of that! We asked our server what was in it and he said it was just garlic and salt and a little oil. I promptly went to my car after we had finished and looked up recipes how to make it. Jasmine Grill is not a fancy place in anyway. In fact, I feel like they could improve the interior a little bit but really the food is the star of the show here and the decor in the restaurant and the ambience are of minor importance. Our server was kind and we received our food very quickly. The service was not over the top friendly or anything like that, but we were not ignored by any means and very much enjoyed our meal. I wish I lived closer to Jasmine Grill because I know this would be a regular stop. If you have a smaller appetite, you could easily share one of the plates between two people.

    2026 Mar 31: 1) lamb kebab ( they are out of lamb chops! ) comes with yellow rice, one side - choose lentil soup 2) chicken kebab with yellow rice and house salad, 3) hummus plate 4) lentil soup. Hummus is pretty good but the best are the kebabs - both lamb and chicken are excellent! Yellow rice is tasty too. Lentil soup was not as good as what we had in Türkiye.

    Lunch while waiting for my car to get serviced, Jasmine Grill was busy with families and smelling delicious. I chose the Chicken Shawarma platter and mostly sorta a little tried to be keto. The labneh was excellent and firm and tasty. Chicken was a little spicy and very flavorful and moist. Hummus was absolutely excellent - the right consistency and thickness that I really enjoy. With a big basket of fresh pita bread quarters and I ate one or two. $20 for lunch (with tip, no drink). Not bad for a big meal.

    Meat and cheese pies... so soft !    Grape leaves.
    Dawn R.

    The food here is excellent ! I got the beef and lamb Shawarma ($16) with yellow rice. It was fantastic with whatever the spicy green sauce and yogurt-like sauce is that came with it. Their baba ganoush was also excellent. It had several very thin pita breads with it. For appetizers, we ordered the meat pies (one of each - 3 for $11). The bread is incredibly soft. One had cheese in the middle, one had a meat mixture in the middle, and I haven't tried the 3rd one yet. However, the 2 that I tried were very good ! The only slight disappointment was the grape leaves. They were very thin with not much filling for $9. My friend got the chicken shawarma and she said her food was really good. Our service was pleasant and our food was served very quickly. They do not charge a card fee. The atmosphere is just so-so for a strip mall setting. However, the food is so good that I'll be coming back with my husband so that he can try it. I know he will love it.

    Ive been here many times and they never missed. The Lamb and Beef plate was excellent. The Lamb and beef was cooked with loads of flavor with tenderness in the center. The plate came with two sauces. The yellow rice was seasoned well. The plate came with a garlic and spicy sauce. The garlic sauce was very good! and went well with the dish. The service was great with the waitress explaining the things on the menu. She was nice and prompt. The atmosphere is relaxed.

    This is just an update of what we have a few days ago at this Jasmine Grill after I met two new friends. We all were volunteers at Trump's rally in Charlotte. The two new friends have heritage from Middle East. And I have a new visitor from HongKong, he loves new food. I then suggested this place to see how they would grade the food. We ordered kabobs, Shawarma. They all enjoyed the food and gave good comments. We ordered coffee, just they didn't have cinnamon. Other than that, everything was very good.

    Works fine for a fast food Chinese buffet but not the most flavorful Chinese that I have had.

    Year in, year out--great quality authentic Pakistani and South Asian food. Great kabobs. Friendly…read moreservice.

    I stumbled across Zafran after a friend recommended the nearby India House, which unfortunately…read morecloses on Mondays. Zafran felt authentic, though authenticity can be a double-edged Khyber sword when you have no idea what you're ordering. Pictures of famous mosques and religious leaders covered the walls, while thick, clear plastic protected the Punjabi textiles on every table. The server and I struggled to communicate, and Google Translate proved about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I asked about the Jarzamzam drink, but the only explanation I understood was that it cost too much for the staff to sample. Siri eventually entered the conversation and explained that it was water from a sacred well in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Next, I ordered the Lassi. In my mind, Lassi means a cold, sweet yogurt drink flavored with mango. This version arrived plain, salty, and lumpy. It was clearly homemade, but ordering it reminded me of navigating a tourist bar in Thailand: ask follow-up questions before choosing the mystery option. The Chicken Kabab consisted of two slender, tube-shaped portions of ground meat buried under shredded raw onion and served with just a cup of saffron rice. At $25, shrinkflation appears to have hit Zafran harder than an Uber Eats service fee. My previous Pakistani meals had delivered the exact opposite experience. Plates usually arrived with piles of pilaf and so many skewers, you'd have to approach your meal like it was an angry porcupine. I also wouldn't choose Zafran for a romantic dinner. The dining room is crowded and very rustic, rustic enough to make an interior designer collapse. Still, I would return with someone familiar with Pakistani food and the language being spoken. A knowledgeable dining partner might help uncover the treasure beneath the restaurant's gritty exterior and help identify the better choices and values.
