    I love this place, omg the food is so good and well seasoned and the portions are huge. They have this flatbread that is out of this world. The chickpeas are so flavorful and just the right amount of spice.

    Delicious food and reasonably priced! The tikka chicken kabob was the fan favorite - my family was fighting over who would eat the last piece even though we had more food to go around. The inside is clean and the service was good and straight to the point. Come here for good food if you want to leave feeling happy and full!

    As we were planning to get fueled up before going for a long shopping run for Black Friday . Kabob place was perfect for us with so many kids . The food was nice . Restrooms were clean . They should start using real plates instead of disposals , that's only issue I have . Kadia chicken was superb and must have . Kababs were good too.

    I want to give a shout out to this local Pakistani business for giving complimentary takeout boxes in a time of emergency. I originally heard about this from a caring neighbor of mine and wanted to check it out. I won't speak to the interior since these are strange times and there is no sit-down service. Everything was barred off and the proper precautions were taken and everything looked sanitary. But the kind woman asked me how many boxes I wanted and I asked for two. But the food! I'm not exactly sure what everything was, but there were three parts inside. There was rice biryani which was so well seasoned, spicy chicken, and then a chickpea side as well. I love sauce, so I loved being able to drizzle the sauce over the rice and mix everything together. The chicken was really tender and juicy and I liked the spiciness in it. There was also chicken pieces inside the rice as well. The chickpea dish was a little sweet and not as strongly flavored as the other two, but I thought it complemented well.

    Not knowing that Crustacean Boil & Grill had moved from here to across the plaza, I accidentally walked into this place last year. A little thrown off that it wasn't Crustacean Boil & Grill, I left. When I got to my car, all I could think of was how good the food smelled at Kabob Place. For whatever reason I didn't return until a little over a year later. So fast forward to my first visit and I got lamb kabob as takeout. After my first bite, I could not have been more disappointed in myself for not making it back to Kabob Place much sooner. My lamb was very tender and perfectly seasoned. On my second visit, I ordered sheedu fish. It was perfectly fried and seasoned. And best of all, it was seriously the flakyest and most buttery fish that I've ever had. And if it couldn't get any better, their naan is ridiculously huge! At that point, I was sold and Kabob Place officially became one of my new go-to places. I've been here about 5 times now and I've tried something different every time. Every visit, my expectations are more than met. Lastly, I almost took a star away for this but depending on who's at the counter, there usually is a little bit of a language barrier. And that's somewhat expected when visiting an ethnic business, but my issue is service is always just ok with me. But when people of the same kind show up, staff is way more interactive and friendly. I don't need them to try and have deep conversation with me but it would just be nice to receive an equal hello and gratitude for my business...

    I finally got to check this place out! I got the combo #1 which is 2 chicken kabobs and it comes with rice, salad, naan and a side of your choice. These chicken kabobs are grounded chicken blended with other spices and goodies. They have two other types of chicken (I think it's combo #3) which is boneless chicken and boned in chicken. For the side, my friend got the chickpeas and I got the spinach. The chicken kabobs were very tender and flavorful. The rice and sides were on point and delicious. The naan was huge! Overall, everything I had was delicious. I definitely will be coming back to try their other items! The food took about 15-20 minutes for the food to be ready, so it's made hot and fresh! You don't get a ticket number and they don't take your name. They kind of just call your order out so be sure to pay attention! Parking can be a bit difficult since there are a few other businesses sharing the same lot (a movie theater, a gym and other restaurants). So be sure to go a bit earlier to accommodate that if you're meeting someone. Better yet, carpool! The only problem I had with this place was they used an iPad to take payments. The person who took our order gave us no direction on how to use it when paying so it was confusing, even though we used iPads for payments in the past. We asked for help and she said to just press any of the buttons on the screen and so we did and it ended up registering that we were paying in cash (we wanted to pay by card). She seemed rather annoyed that we hit "the wrong button" and made us pay in cash instead. This was fine since I had emergency cash on me but she tried to do the math mentally and almost gave me back $20 less in change. It was an honest mistake but just be careful in case this happens to you!

    According to my records, this is the place I ordered from the most in 2021 via Uber Eats. They never disappoint! Everything is flavorful, fresh, and delicious. My favorite is the lamb seekh, naan, and chutni which is so good.

    Kabab was only thing which I found good. Been there with my friend, thought it would be good. We ordered halwa puri platter and chicken tikka platter. Halwa was okay, puri was hard and chole was blunt in taste, and in chicken tikka platter, what was that, never seen that big naan. Of course, I could not finish it. I did not try their main course dishes. It was okay experience for me. Ambience looks like typical south-Asian restaurant. Owners were friendly.

    Went to Kabob Place for lunch with some coworkers today. One coworker of which was an expert with this tradition of food. So we let him order for everyone....AND let me just say, it was phenomenal. I have never tried Indian food but I am always open to trying new things. We ordered 3 chicken Karahi and 3 duck Karahi with the chick peas side and the chutni. The chicken karahi was super tender and flavorful with just the right amount of spices. The duck was chewy with some delicious fat like textures. The curry sauce to soak it up with the FRESH naan was amazing as well. I was excited to be able to have leftovers for the next day. 10/10 I will definitely be back sooner than later!

    Very good quality food. People who know quality knows how good it is. Only problem is that it is quite expensive. Good to be shared.

    Best rice I've ever tasted never had less than a wonderful meal at Sultan Kabob and the owners are…read morefantastic!

    I tend to go here with family when we visit Charlottesville and have other things to do in town…read more(catch a UVA game, movie, etc.). Even when they were very busy, the wait for a seat is rather short. It's mainly four-top seats but they can push together tables as needed. There's music always playing and not a lot of padding to soften noise so I'd call the location "average" loud. Downtown Charlottesville doesn't really do free parking. You can park at the next corner in open parking to the left or paid parking to the right. But we're talking $2 or so, not a bank-breaking experience and with lots of shopping across the street it's worth staking out a spot and then walking the area. What I like: The food is tasty. The appetizers are solid. There's a large enough menu that you can always try something new. And the portions are ample enough to share. What I'm not so fond of: The waitstaff spend a lot of time at the front scrolling on their phones. They aren't too keen on refilling your drinks either. I say this as someone who has eaten here about a dozen times. Also, I don't normally mind cameras, but there are enough blinking lights on cameras to make it feel more like a jewelry store than a restaurant. That said, if you are not in a hurry, want some good food in solid portions, and plan to do some shopping or window shopping downtown, this has been my go-to place for years.
