Kababistan is truly one of the best restaurants I've visited! The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The kabobs were tender, juicy, and full of authentic taste. The customer service was outstanding. A Special thanks for Bahaar,she took very well care of us. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience. Everything was excellent--the food, the service, the atmosphere, and the hospitality. I highly recommend Kababstan to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality food and exceptional service. I will definitely be coming back again and again. Thank you for such a fantastic experience! Masooda. read more

Very disappointing experience. I took the time to visit this place, and the customer service is on another level, n a bad way. The lady working there knew it was going to be busy (especially with Ramadan ending), yet she was constantly on the phone and not attentive. Even simple questions like "What do you recommend?" were met with poor service. The food itself is good, I can't complain about that. However, the portions for the price are not worth it. On top of that, the ice cream area was completely unsanitary. I had already paid, and it was very difficult to get a refund. I had to wait more than 15 minutes for someone to assist me, while a man who seemed like the owner or manager was yelling in the kitchen. I decided to order based on previous reviews, but my experience was nothing like that. While serving my ice cream, some of it fell onto the counter, and instead of discarding it, he picked it up with his hand ( with a glove) and put it back in the cup. That was unacceptable. The pistachio topping was left completely open on the counter, right next to where people were passing by in line. I was given just a small portion (maybe 8-10 oz) with a spoon of pistachio for $12--not worth it at all. Overall, not worth the visit. read more

This place went from good to bad. They started out with some hiccups, but the food was good so I overlooked the excessive wait time and unorganized frenzy behind the counter.But tonight was the last straw. I watched bread dough being stretched on a, what looked like a white bag of substance. Knowing that I did not intend to eat the bread, I got my order and headed home. Only to learn that I got lamb and spinach and not what I ordered chicken with chickpeas and a side of spinach. When I called to report the mistake, the person who appeared to be in charge argued with me. Even when I told him I don't eat lamb, beef or pork, and offered my receipt that showed chicken. I ended up throwing away the whole order. Poor customer service. read more

Really nice place. The food is great, but honestly what I like the most is how welcoming the staff always are. They're friendly, respectful, and make you feel comfortable every time you come in. That kind of good service is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. To afghans, this place makes you feel you're in one of Kabul's classy restaurants! read more

Kabobistan - Lamb Kabob Boneless Chicken Breast - Desserts Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Love the Kabobs here. Great place to dine in with family and also carry out. I love that everything is cooked to order so you do have to wait 10 to 15 minutes. The restaurant has plenty of seating table but not so much to the ambiance, but the food makes up for it. The restaurant seem clean but they need to pay more attention on the restroom cleanliness. Food- A5 Super Combo 5/5 $21.95- The combo come with lamb , Ground Beef and chicken Kabob. The lamb is so soft and doesn't have grainy smell, the beef is juicy and flavorful, even the chicken is moist and season perfectly and normally I don't care for chicken kabob. Come with Rice and chickpea that also really good. It come with the bread as well that soft but I don't really eat because too much carb in one seating. Ice cream- It freshly makes with middle easter spice and smell so good but a tad bit over price for what is it. Service is good if the men's take your order, i don't really care for the women who work there since that always make thing complicated went, I say no rice just salad.. I normally just order carry out since the restaurant get so busy pack and too many families who bring them untrained children read more

I was excited to try this place after seeing it on Tik Tok. It was easy to find parking. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was completely empty, but people trickled in wholebI was waiting for my food. I ordered Bolani, a gyro wrap, and bread for $30. I took over 30 minutes for me to get my food. The bread was nice and warm. The bolani had nice flavor..tasted like samosa stuffing in between nan bread. The gyro was extremely disappointing. There was barely any meat in it, the meat was very unseasoned and extremely dry (almost jerky dry). I will likely not for back. read more

We once visited this restaurant. The food was good, but the prices were outrageous. Because of their kebab, we decided to go back. This time, we ordered takeout. We were told it would take 20 minutes to prepare. We arrived within 25 minutes, yet our order arrived so cold that the coldness was noticeable from the back of the bag. When we opened it, we saw that two orders were missing toppings, and the bread was burned on the edges. This was very disappointing. For that price, we expect high-quality food. It doesn't matter if you are rich or not; we work hard for our money. Clearly, they do not care about their customers' feelings--they only care about money. They have forgotten about honesty. AND day of judgment! WE WILL NOT RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT . read more

I noticed that they charge this fee even when you are paying cash. The fee is for them using their machine. So you pay twice, one for tax and the other one is for when they use their machine. Even when you are paying cash. They cut corners on the chicken, you get more bread than chicken. read more

So happy they opened just five minutes from my house in Woodbridge. They have the best flavored chicken and I love them paired with the stewed chickpea side. So super delicious and huge servings. I've gone there twice in one week. Totally recommend this place but I'm torn coz I like when there no long lines. Haha read more

Wow! The food quality was out of this world! I had the chicken and my wife had a lamb sandwich. All the food came out fresh and hot. We will return. Great spot for us before we go bowling. read more

If you can stop by and give it a try- do it!! I passed by one weeknight and saw it packed out the door, and made a point to come back. Well worth the 15 minute wait, the food was fresh and delicious. It's beautiful inside the restaurant and has been recently renovated. It was also very clean. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. My partner ordered the chicken&lamb kabob with rice and I had the vegetarian combo with naan and rice. The veg combo was filling, and everything was well seasoned. Get extra yogurt & spicy sauce! The pricing is great considering the portions. We will for sure make this a regular spot for our weekly meal rotations, you should too! read more

This restaurant is spacious and welcoming, making it a great spot for anyone who enjoys Afghan cuisine. The staff is friendly, and they prepare Sheryak fresh to order, which is a nice touch. It's not a full service sit down restaurant orders are placed at the register and picked up at the counter but the process is quick and convenient. The menu features a wide variety of traditional Afghan dishes. While I personally found the flavors in the dishes I tried to be a bit on the lighter side, the food was still enjoyable. There is also outdoor seating available, though it's located alongside a main highway, so expect some road noise. If you're in the area and looking to try Afghan food, this spot is worth a visit. read more

I cam for it far away from Woodbridge to eat real afghan food but I see severl workers from kababstan no one has hat no one has gloves whil the are cooking meal who made sheryakh he also don't have hat and also table was not clean I see some fly around the table at all they are very cleanless read more

Ive eaten here a few times and the food has always been amazing. Kabobs are always cooked right and I recently tried there bolani which was phenomenal and the make a killer fish. They also serve sheeryakh. Definetly give them a try if your in the area. read more

Great place and great food. I liked everything I ordered. Visited this restaurant for a few times and will be back again.

Please don't go to this place. They have terrible customer service, the space is very small and noisy, and you have to wait hours for your food. We ordered fish and rice, and after an hour it was finally ready. When I went to get it, the fish was already cold. When I asked about it, they responded rudely and said, This is what we have take it if you want.The Uzbek plov was also extremely salty. read more

The customer service at this restaurant was extremely poor. Staff were inattentive, slow, and at times outright rude. There was no sense of hospitality or professionalism, and simple requests were ignored or handled with attitude. The entire experience felt unwelcoming and frustrating, and it's clear that customer care is not a priority here The food is really good I am only giving the review for the staff and customer sevice read more

A great new kabob restaurant in Woodbridge! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant is clean and nicely appointed. I visited here for the first time today after seeing a friend's food pics from here, and I'm so glad I checked it out. They are located in Woodbridge on Route 1/Richmond Highway, right beside Dunkin/Baskin Robbins in a building that was a Roy Rogers several decades ago (for those who have lived in Woodbridge for a long time). The restaurant has been completely renovated and is bright with nice tables and chairs. The smells wafting from the grill promise an enjoyable meal. They also have rolling high chairs for your little ones. I ordered item A1 (boneless chicken kabob) and a bottle of water. The entree comes with one side and their warm freshly made bread. I opted for the chickpeas. So good! The chicken was hot, moist and flavorful, and the portion was generous. They have white, green, and red sauce but I asked for only white sauce as I do not enjoy spicy food. The entree also comes with onions but I asked them not to include them. My meal was excellent and I'll definitely be back. They also have fresh-made ice cream and crepes. I didn't check either out this time, but there's always next time! read more

Terrible place! We had a big order for two families placed to-go, the gentleman on the phone took our order and never told us that they were out of some items. We drove all the way to the store, the order was not even put on the grill because they were out of part of the order. No notice no call! We gave them many chances so far and there is always an issue with our food! Needless to say, we won't be coming back! read more

Food is ok nothing special. Most Afghan food is a like. Visited three time order same dish for me that was their mix. Rice and bread served cold twice. Need improvement I do not came to Resturant to eat cold food. Customer service is average I have seen twice a guy eating bread while making it. Need improvement with cleaning table and trash. They have enough people I noticed to accomplish this issue. read more

I'm mad. I wish I could dislike this place. I hate the location that requires two u-turns from and to my house. I hate how long the wait is on a Friday night. I hate how everything is $1-2 more than other kabob spots. BUT I CANNOT. THE FOOD IS TERRIFIC. SPLENDID AF. just Short of AMAZING. Take everything the best kabob spots do, and make it better. Make it juicier. Make it more tender and flavorful. Make it make you cry when it's over. Fresh Hot bread that's crispy yet tender... charred marinated chicken sizzling off the grill with the aroma of freshly bloomed spices... perfectly al dense seasoned rice..... the most tender ofnl chickpeas that literally melt in your mouth.. argggggggghhhhhhh :homer drool: well what about the staff? super duper nice girls that are a pleasure to be served by. professional and courteous. ok ok.. how is the atmosphere and set up? Bruh. its a kabob restaurant w plenty of seats.. including outside... the ice cream roller in the middle kind of took me by surprise... but it's the same noisy children and meandering toddlers you have come to expect at places like this...... just deal with it so you can get this blessed union of meats and carbs deep into your gullywuts... If this kabob place existed in a clockwork orange.. Alex would have been so satisfied with life, there would have been no time for crime or petty chaos with his old droogs. Dare I approach hyperbole? nahhh fam... Et Fin de Yelp. read more

Opted for the chicken & lamb combo. Ended up pairing it with the ice cream. Which was good but a flavor like no other.- food was good but the service left a bad taste in my mouth. We completed our food order @ 5:24pm and didn't get it till 6:15pm (((50 WHOLE MINUTES))). We were told after our order that the wait would originally be 10-15m. When speaking to the manager about how she could have met the expectation no ownership was taken- just a quick apology and no regards for the customers time. The atmosphere could improve- definitely not the kind of place you get comfortable and relax- it more eat & go or to-go kinda place- it open and sort of cold. The wait really soured my overall review. read more

My dad came here a second time after having a horrible experience the first time. They charged him 20% gratiuity on a $30 order for two people. He likes the fish, so he went back with my grandmother. They waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for their food because they had "forgotten" to put the order in. Horrible, horrible customer service, not worth the wait whatsoever. read more

Plenty of parking and fast service. Inside is clean with friendly staff except the ice cream guy. He's an asshole who goes out of his way to live up to his name. Everyone else was great, very friendly explaining what each dish was and its contents. Decent beverage selection but incredible food selection!!! So much flavor and so many options. Lamb chops were delicious, kabobs all were delicious, even the chicken was juicy and delicious. The rice with the raisins also delicious. I will definitely be back. Plenty of inside room and good dining hours. read more

We chose this place randomly for dinner because we didn't want to go far. We walked in and it was a nice place kind of loud, but it was lots of families. We ordered the super combo and they were very quick with taking the order. Friendly staff. The food was sooo delicious and below I have provided proof of that lol. Would recommend to others and we will definitely will be back! read more

Kabobistan - Proof of good food - Desserts Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I travel a lot for work and constantly try new food in the area I'm in. In the past 6 months, this is the best food I've tasted in Virginia. I got the lamb kabob with chickpeas. My eyes went wide when I saw the big portions served and quickly devoured the entire meal and was sad there wasn't more when I finished. Definitely making this place a staple when I come back to visit this area. Service was great and the food tastes like a loving mother made it at home. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I've already been here a handful of times since they have opened . Food is yummy! Service is always friendly

It is disgusting inside, All the food is on the ground. The kichen looks and sound like dhaba. Its Noisy and the Staff is very ill mannered. Also the crowd who visit there(mostly Afghans) stare at everyone with impunity. Over all the ambience is below quality lower then average. If there is a minus rating, it fits them well. read more

On Sept. 18, 2024, I ordered a Kabob Sandwich which had mostly vegetables and little meat. The charge was $11.95 which was a rip off. In addition, the wait was too long. read more

I got food poisoning after eating at this place. The bread was burnt and the food was raw with a weird smell.

I've given this place a few chances because the food is decent and it's close to my house, but it's just too disorganized. I once waited over an hour for just two kabob orders--even after calling ahead. That call turned out to be pointless since I still ended up waiting more than 60 minutes. I had also ordered Mantu, which came out on time, but unfortunately it sat out for nearly 50 minutes until the rest of the order was ready. Despite having 10+ staff members, the place runs in complete chaos. Unfortunately, it's just not worth the hassle. read more

Great tasty food!! Maybe need to work on phone orders (I put my order in, but got hung up on before I could give my name) but I imagine that's growing pains for a new restaurant read more

I stopped at a Woodbridge location to get some food. My ticket # 2015. I ordered # A-1Boneless chicken combo, Combo A-4 Lamb Kabob and Combo A-7 Chicken and Lamb. In my order I was missing Chicken in combo #A-7. People are ok not friendly or more knowledgeable about fees and services. I was charged extra Advantage program fee $ 1.74. When I asked about, no one give me any answer why this fee is charged. Cashier refunded me this fee. Food was average, rice was dried. Meat was not bad. Price was not as low like other restaurants in the area. Might stop again or not. Like more spice and curry. Receipt # 0028919024939. read more

Food was great. Please don't be offended by the grabbing of the bread with bare hands it's the culture. My meal was absolutely delicious
