    Sambosa (no meat)
    Zhen C.

    History of Present Indulgence: Husband and wife looking for post-doctor's appointment meal. Searched on Yelp for nearby restaurants and photos of establishment drew a 10 minute walk for indulgent visit. Physical Exam: Food - Up there with the best of the best. Who needs a high end restaurant and exorbitant prices to indulge in good eats? Platter sizes are enough for 2. Entrees ordered: Kobedeh & Lamb Platter, Sambosa (no meat), and 5 piece Manto (dumplings). The depth of flavor in the meats and dumplings was incredible. Yogurt sauce with some crispy chickpeas that topped the Manto sent my taste buds over the moon. They know for sure what they're doing with the grill. Ambiance - Fast-casual setting that feels like a deli or cafeteria. There's not really an "ambiance" but there's also no need for any when the food is this good. Service - Not a place to ask about the service. It works like a deli. Order your food at the cashier, grab your food when they call your number. Assessment: Having eaten at 2 Afghan restaurants in DC now (Lapis and here), this is the place to satisfy your craving for this cuisine when you don't need the service, ambiance, or a leather-bound wine list. Frills? None. Flavor? Expect that dial turned up to 11. Plan: - Tell all my friends about it - Gotta come back for anotha one, and anotha one, and anotha one - Express envy for Georgetown residents for having this one in the neighborhood - Follow-ups recommended q3months - Come hungry, leave happy

    Delicious beef kabobs! Big portions! So flavorful Came here with my dad for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon- not busy, found street parking a couple blocks away.

    9. Kobeda & Chicken

    Delicious kabob place. We went on a Friday night and it was surprisingly not crowded. My husband and I both got the combo platter with chicken and beef. It was fresh and plentiful. Would highly recommend.

    11. Kobeda & Lamb Combo

    Solid authentic Afghan spot. Very clean, friendly, and delicious. I had the Kobeda and Lamb combo. Plenty of food!

    Beef Kabob, plus two fritters for Iftar

    A large platter of food was just what I wanted to end the week. I got the Beef Kabob, which comes with chunks of beef over basmati rice with a side of fresh salad, your pick of vegetables (got eggplant), and bread. The best part was not knowing where to begin. I'm weird and went for the eggplant first. Tasty and already off to a good start. The beef was easy to cut and well marinated. I think I filled myself with enough of the rice, but I had to rip off a piece of bread to eat it fresh and it was so soft. Second best part: trying to figure out how to fit the leftovers in one box. They call your order number nice and loud on a speaker system when it's ready. It took a while for mine to come out since I ordered behind a party of six Georgetown students. Not much to say about the dining room (basic). It has lots of seating, which is the most important thing. Just focus on the food. This seems to be a popular place for delivery. Delivery guys were coming in and out, whisking away bags of platters, bowls, and wraps to the next happy customer.

    serving sizes were huge and very generous! There was a nice seating area outside, and it's more of a fast food restaurant. The chickpeas were a bit stale, but otherwise tasted delicious

    YES. If you're contemplating trying this place out, DO IT! Was headed to George's, saw this place in front, decided to give it a try, was not disappointed at all. FOOD- for what you're paying, they are so generous on portions and everything comes with one side (chick peas / spinach / mixed veggies / one other I can't think of). On top of the price being great for the amount you get, the food tastes AMAZING! Especially when you come in hungry... when that food comes out after waiting for around 10 minutes, wow, you don't waste any time. I personally love the chicken kobeda with the mixed vegetables side (I don't even like peas or carrots but the way they make it... I can't get enough) SERVICE- nothing too crazy. You order, when your food is ready the buzzer buzzes, you go get your food then you either sit and eat or take it to go. PLACE/LOCATION- Street parking. Place seems very clean and well taken care of. Handful of tables and restrooms are available. RAMADAN- during the month of Ramadan, they are offering some sort of buffet for Iftar. Definitely will come back again and again.

    Had a wonderful dining experience! The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely coming back soon!

    9. Kobeda & Chicken Combo
    Jon S.

    DELICIOUS! 10/10. Staff is helpful, food is made to order, huge portions, and tastes great. They have a meat case where you can see skewers marinating. I knew it was going to be good once I realized it was locals walking in. Will definitely come back.

    Pallow
    Rasheed A.

    Just go. Hole in the wall, casual Afghan spot. Just walked in while running an errand near by. Incredibly friendly staff, even the kitchen staff is interacting with you to see how you liked the food. The food: damn. Real good (I got the Pallow and chickpeas). Lamb was juicy, the fat was melting in your mouth. Authentic taste and atmosphere (e.g., some folks were eating with their hands) . Super generous portions.

    Great food, lovely staff, and wonderful atmosphere. We had a family lunch at Castle Kabob and enjoyed their hospitality and food quality.

    Don't let the cafeteria style service deter you you won't regret it. The food is flavorful and don't miss out on the bolani. Bon appétit.

There is metered street parking and commercial lots/garages within a reasonable walking distance from here. They serve wraps, salads, and cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the Korean Steak Sandwich. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches. They really do live up to their name, the Best Sandwich Place.

Personally, don't think the hype meets the expectations. But with that said, it's still a good wrap and I'd get it again but I don't think it's the best wrap I've had or worth going out of your way for. If you're hungry and near by, sure go get it but don't make any special trips just for this wrap. Id love to try their other options on the menu at some point!
