We dined in, got the chicken karahi (half) bone in, and butter chicken with naan. Y'all. This place makes chicken karahi the way my dad makes it. It's as authentic as it can get. Made me homesick lol. Had to wait about 20 mins for food which was fine, felt longer because I was hungry but the uncle did a phenomenal job, I'm pretty sure he's making everything fresh. The place is a bit chilly inside with the fans, the tables and seating are alright but the bathrooms are sparkling clean (with lotas). I'd get this place again but take it to go because I couldn't finish the half portion either. They have free ice water next to the cutlery, napkins etc so that was nice too. Overall, brilliant and authentic Pakistani food. read more

Kabob & Chicken - 1/2 Chicken Karahi Bone In and Butter Chicken Curry - Pakistani Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I said I'd give this place another chance and I did. I didn't think I'd need two trips though. Ordered the number 11 togo. I took a singular bite into each item to perform quality assurance and was disappointed to find out the rice tasted like it hadn't been washed, the lamb smelled like it was alive, bread was cold and the chicken was average. Two options laid on the table, call it a lesson learned and eat the food and never go back or call the store and return the food. Since I hadn't had breakfast or lunch I went with option 2 and figured I'd pick some food from somewhere else. I returned to the restaurant and was pleased to find out that the owner had already processed the refund. Due to the customer service I felt like 3 stars was fair. If it was a review based on the food only it would be a 1 star again. read more

I ordered two lunch specials - biryani and chicken kabob. Here were the issues: 1. They didn't provide rice or bread with chicken. It was just chicken and chickpeas 2. Chicken was old, smelled and was super dry 3. Chicken biryani was not biryani- they used yesterday's chicken gravy and mixed it up with rice to make chicken biryani - tasteless and again chicken was not fresh. Even egg seemed it was boiled 2 days ago 4. Worst chickpeas I have ever had read more

The chicken karahi was good and the naan was delicious. They used to serve chai(hot tea). I hope he brings it back since the weather is getting cold now. We used to go there a lot because of the chia and food and enjoyed the conversation. read more

Used to be our go to for "Butter Chicken." Yesterday, we ordered, and the servings of their food were so small. So embarrassing for a $15 - $20 dish. Well, the Buttered chicken taste is still good, however, we will not come back. We will try to make our own as good from now on. Costco carries a brand of buttered chicken sauce that, if you add heavy cream, will taste the same. Homemade and cheaper. Kabob and chicken, please look at your portions, or you will continue to lose customers. Even your sauce are watered down. I will go to Dulles Mall for their Kabob. Their sauce tastes good, and the servings are better. read more

Always good and their butter chicken sauce has no "nut" cream! We've had everything here, it's our goto place in Sterling. I like the option to have less oil in the preparation for any entree. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. THIS was $20. Tiny portions with 5 little pieces of meat. Extremely disappointing. Save yourself the trouble read more

Kabob & Chicken - Extremely disappointed. 5. Lamb Kabob - Pakistani Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Small hole in the wall that packs a big taste. Food: 4 stars Service: 5 stars With an unassuming exterior and the gyro lunch special signs, I almost walked past...straight to super chicken. The inside is small but clean, with a few dining tables and a spacious outside eating area. Upon opening the door, you can immediately smell roasting meats, fresh bread, and sultry spices. I went with a kabob special and the samosa chaat. The portions were massive! and the bread, the bread was both soft and chewy, light but filling - I could hear the chef pounding out dough every few minutes, making them to order. In fact, I'm certain they made my food to order and it only took 10 min or so. That's a price i'm more than willing to pay for homecooked food. The young man who took my order let me know it would be a few minutes to prepare the food, showed me the tea, and cleaned off a table to sit. This dude was like 6 employees in one, taking orders, preparing sauce, busing tables, and taking the time to chat with regular customers. They offer free cardamom tea and are not cheap with sauces or meat portions. I'll come back sometime to try their weekend specials - It's worth the hike. read more

Just about the best value and quality anywhere. My Gyro platter with bread and chickpeas were a 10 out of 10. Nothing is over spiced carelessly. You can't go wrong; especially when lunch can be under $10 ( Lunch Specials). I wish I lived closer .... read more

The food was not that great, few pieces of chicken kabob, small portion of rice, and was a little bit salty

The Kabob plate features chicken kabob, and traditional beef kabob, a nice salad, sauce and the most delicious choly a chickpeas and sauce dish. It's EXCELLENT. The meats are consistently moist and tender. The platter ( super platter 12) also comes with a large serving of naan and a crispy salad with slivered onions with a tangy yogurt sauce. It seems to be a small family run business so be patient as they prep meals and bus tables. 9/10 for me which is super. read more

Tried there beef kabob it was over cooked dry I need a sip of water every bite so I wouldn't choke. The rice was ok but they threw a glob of tomato sauce in the rice I ordered spinach received can of oil chick peas tasted like a brown paper bag ( really). Not worth the $30.00 plus dollars. A little sad there rice was great before, absolutely not the same taste no flavor. read more

Absolutely love this joint. It's convenient and the food is always tasty. My two favorite dishes to order are seekh kabob karahi and the half charcoal chicken. The yogurt sauce is always on point, the rice portions are always enough to go around and the naan are always fluffy and delicious. They also don't get super stiff and inedible quick, which is a big deal. The chana are always perfectly soft, but still have a good bite and the palak is incredible. I could eat it daily and never get tired of it. I've tried the chicken biryani and haven't been disappointed either. Also, the chapli kabobs are tasty as well! Plus, the salad is always incredibly fresh. I'd wager they have the freshest salad and yogurt sauce in the area. Only gripe, but to me it's worth it, is when you call and they say 20 minutes and you show up then, you might have to wait another 5-10. read more

Waste of money. They don't know how to cook. Don't go there. Chick peas are the worst taste read more

The food is bland with no flavors and customer service is not friendly. The lunch menus for weekdays is somewhat less price than the regular priced items. I said you are charging me the regular price when it's special for lunch hours. The owner said , I should have told him this beforehand he rang up the full price. This place is not on my "go to" anymore. read more

This spot was okay. I'm used to eating Afghan or Mediterranean style kabob, so this place was a change. You could taste the differences in spices and the flavor of chickpeas. The chicken and bread were good. Chickpeas weren't my favorite and rice was pretty bland. read more

I have been to many Kabob places but this place definitely tops them all. The chicken and meat were very flavorful and tender. I really enjoyed the yogurt dressing it came with. The flavor is so different than others I have had. You can tell that the food is made with alot of care and time is taken to make sure it taste delicious. Reccomend Kabob & Chicken 100%. Great customer service as well! :) read more

Kabob & Chicken - Pakistani Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

The food here is incredibly tasty ! I had the chicken and beef kabob platter and was not disappointed! The meat was tender and very delicious . The bread was soft. The sides were good . I highly recommend coming here for some amazing halal kabobs . I can't wait to go back and try the butter chicken and chicken Biryani read more

Once again, Kabob & Chicken did not dissapont. I have both dairy and gluten allergies and the manager was able to adapt the menu for me. I opted for white rice, and he told me they don't use butter. I had a delightful meal, and it's my go to when I go shopping in that complex. Thank you for being especially attentive to my dietary needs for good, and safe food! read more

Went here yesterday for the first time and have to say I will definitely be back! Even though there was some confusion when I ordered (I wanted to try the beef kabob, but ended up with a chicken kabob, I'm pretty sure I said beef, but the guy at the counter insisted I ordered Chicken... oh well, I'm not allergic to chicken or anything and it looked good so I went with it) Good sized portion on the wrap for the price. The chicken was moist. The flavor was great and I like the vegetable choices they used in the wrap.. It all tasted very fresh. They had green sauce, which is a big plus for me. It had really good flavor but I wish it was thicker somehow, it was the kind of consistency that runs right through the wrap. With that being said, it was delicious and I was happy they had it. Glad neither of their sauces tasted like Mayonnaise. I hate it when any kabob sauce tastes like Mayonnaise. They also had some complimentary tea set up if you ordered an entree. It was really good tea. Kind of like a masala tea, but I'm not sure if that's what it was or not. I think it said Cardammon and Cinnamon? They also have a lunch buffet that I want to try. It was not set up when I went there because I came on a weekend. The guy said it runs from 11-2:30 M-F. Going to have to try and make a special trip over there to try it out one day. All in all, this place is a serious contender for my go-to Kabob place in Loudoun! read more

Kabob & Chicken - Chicken wrap. There was a lot of chicken, but this is a good shot of the veggies - Pakistani Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This is the best place in NOVA to get butter chicken. They give you the perfect portion for the price. (Comes with a side of rice and home made naan bread) The sauce is creamy, spicy, and absolutely delicious. (There are levels of spicy you can make the sauce as well). They also only use white meat chicken and do not use dark meat at all. My boyfriend and I come here at least once a week for the butter chicken, it is a must have. read more

Kabob & Chicken - Butter Chicken - Pakistani Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

My family likes the boneless chicken biryani and butter chicken from Kabob & Chicken. The biryani is probably the best in the area.

This place looks like nothing special at first glance. Tiny space, dull decor, somewhat dirty, unfriendly staff. Everything is served on Styrofoam. Blech. The lamb and beef kubideh-style kabobs, as well as the naan, samosas, chickpeas, etc., are all very mediocre. The rice is very good, seasoned Pakistani style with a cinnamon flavor. But one glorious, glorious thing happened here -- the chicken. The chicken is the most perfectly cooked, spiced, flavorful kabob chicken I think I've ever had. So delicious. Because everything else is just OK, I probably won't be hankering to go back here. But if I do, I'll skip all the other options and just get something that primarily features the chicken. read more

Juicy kabobs. Chicken biryani is amazing! Butter chicken is so creamy and you can tell they grill the chicken before adding it to the sauce. This place is definitely worth trying! Our Sunday go-to! read more

I met a friend for dinner the other night, and she is staying in a hotel nearby so she wanted to choose from the restaurants in this shopping center. She said this is her favorite kabob place and since I was relatively certain I could order something that was low carb, I agreed. It did the trick. The chicken was tasty, though a bit bland. The salad was mostly iceberg letter - fine, but nothing to write home to mom about. The dressing - which is where they could have saved this dish - fell short. I don't LOVE kabob places so, keep that in mind when you are reading the review. This place was OK. I ate. It fit my diet needs. There's a cute outdoor dining area, and my friend and I enjoyed that tremendously. I'd go again if someone suggested it, but I personally wouldn't be suggesting it. read more

You have to try this place. The food is great; very flavorful and well-blended. I've only eaten-in; haven't yet tried take-out, but the portions were somewhat large. Loved the juicy delicious bone-in chicken and rice and bread. Nothing is too over spicy. I will definitely be back for their biryani and butter chicken. The place was clean; restroom was immaculate and fully stocked with real soap and paper towels. read more

We stumbled by Kabob & Chicken by accident. We were just shopping in the area and decided to stop by for lunch. We were greeted by a friendly waitress. She was very helpful in explaining the menu to us, especially figuring out some vegetarian options. We ordered channa platter, saag paneer and mix vegetable curry with naan and rice. To day the least, everything was delicious. They probably have one of the best naan I've ever had. It was SO fresh. The channa masala was full of flavor and made me want more. I wish the saag paneer had more flavor but I cant complain, everything else was so good. If I am ever in the area, I will definitely be coming back for the food and service. read more

Kabob & Chicken - Pakistani Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This is one of the best 'hole in the wall' restaurant. Their bone-in chicken is phenomenal and spinach and garbanzo side dishes are fantastic. Not too crazy about how much oil they add to their rice, but overall, this is my go to place for kababs. I also like that they adjust the spicy-hot level as required or requested. read more

Awesome food everytime. Kind of sad they took away the lunch buffet option. Butter Chicken is the best in town. read more

Very good Pakistani low key restaurant tucked away in the Dulles shopping mall. Food os consistently good and new ownership was very welcoming. read more

This place serves a nice mix of Indian and Pakistani staples. I had the spicy lamb Biryani and my friend had the rice and chicken. When they say spicy it's actually spicy folks! Which I love but if your the delicate of tongue beware! The lamb was tender, the rice was perfectly cooked and the yogurt side was delicious. My friend loved her dish as well. The serving size is very generous. The food is made fresh so it's a little slow to come out so don't go in a hurry/ the service is very good and the people working the counter were super nice. read more

I saw the Monday Tuesday special for $6.99 gyro sandwiches. I bought 2. Big mistake. When I started eating one, I noticed the meat was very dry and old. In addition, I tasted something like grit or sand as I was chewing it. It's like they purposely gave me crappy food. I feel cheated. Worst gyro ever! read more

Horrible service. Asked for Half chicken platter and when the order came it was 2 very tiny pieces of chicken. There was no meat in the chicken, When I complained to the owner, he was very rude and told me that that's what it is. When I asked for changing it to something else or give refund, he said that he will not do anything and if I don't like it, I can leave. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone as they are rip offs. I should have called the cops but my son got very scared and we left the place. Owner and folks who worked there have no customer service skills. They don't care if anyone complains. I have never been to such a horrible restaurant in my life. Worst place. read more

Took my order to go. But this is a little Cosy place in a shopping strip mall. Had their Butter Chicken the last time and graving it ever since. I am expanding today and order some paneer as well. Yummm I can't wait! It seem to be pretty popular for lunch as people come and go as I sit here waiting for my order be ready. They also don't take to long to get ur food ready. Can't wait for my lunch. Give them a try. Very worth it! read more

I give it 5 stars! My pet peeve is when you go to a Kabob place super hungry, then you get hangry (hungry/angry) while waiting forever for food, then by the time you get your plate it is like a bed of basmati rice, bread and a puny little skewer of meat. This place is not like that. I wish I had taken a photo of my plate, portions are huge! I had the gyro salad and it was at least 50% freshly sliced meat right off the spit! They definitely don't skip out on the good stuff. I'm also giving five stars bc they give you free hot cardamom and cinnamon green tea with your entree. It was so soothing and perfect for a frigid February day. Only regret, not taking a cup of that tea to go. Two thumbs and five stars. read more

Wow , small place you would not expect to find great food. What a pleasant surprise .,the lamb curry and butter chicken were out of this world. Rice was very good, nan was good too. will be back again and again. I need to try the buffet. nice hidden gem. read more

The Best Place for Butter Chicken! This is our go to place for us for our SOUL food! Love love love it!

I got the chicken kabob sandwich wrap. The good: the chicken was flavored nicely and the sauce was tasty. The bad: the chicken was dry, the tomatoes were very pale and mealy, no feta and the chicken and the wrap were not even warm. Not coming back here. read more

Kabob and chicken is tucked away in the dulls town crossing near nordstrom rack and best buy. This is my new favorite place for lunch in sterling. Lamb Curry is a must have. They have seasoned it in a way where it doesn't taste Haney at all. I thought it tasted like beef. It's amazing! Entree comes with rice and a side salad. Price is med- high for lunch in my opinion but worth every penny. It comes to 10 something for an entree and drink. The restaurant is Penara style in terms of how it works. I did get butter chicken once, it was very good as well. Parking is out front.. Go there, try, and enjoy!!! read more

I am not a fan of this place. I tend to go only because one of my co-workers likes it. The lunch buffet is frustrating because they always run out of item and are slow to replace the food when it run out. Very rarely does the buffet actually contain any kabobs, it is usually some kind of Chicken Tandori or some other filler crap. The hummus is some of the worst I have ever tasted. The rice is always overcooked and dry. The staff are not very friendly. There are so many better choices for Kabob in this area. read more
