We went there the first time and we have been going back since for quite few years now. I personally recommend the lamb habits, lamb chunk Muqalqal, and start with either veg or lamb fahsa with Yemeni bread. Absolutely amazing food and great service too. Very nice and welcoming people.

Marib is a Yemeni restaurant located in a strip of restaurants and grocery stores originating from different parts of the world. Marib knows how to do their lambs. Ordered the hummus with lamb and it came with a crisp yet fluffy bread. Then ordered a Lamb Haneeth and let me tell you NOT ONLY the lamb is tender but the rice is so flavorful! I come here quite regularly and will keep on doing that. Umar approved. 4.5/5

Friendly service and high quality food with a smile This update keeps the same rating as before and for good reason. Five of us went for dinner to celebrate a birthday. I had to change the number of people on my reservation on the same day and it was quickly accommodated when I called them. As usual their bread basket with a sort of dips is delicious and a wonderful way to start the meal. We had this sort of dumpling and aushak appetizers, which were both delicious as usual. Honestly I've never had a bad dish here. We weren't even able to finish our dinners so we didn't order dessert, but we were surprised when we were brought a wonderful happy birthday dessert for our birthday boy. What a kind gesture. We've been going here ever since it opened, and we still considered a go-to place when we have company in town or for special occasions.

The workers at VA Kabob House treat you as a dear friend, not just a customer. I was able to interact meaningful, although briefly with the workers and owner there, they are super nice and good people. Needless to say, all their food is perfectly seasoned and flavored, not too salty. The lamb kabob is very tender, has no meat odor at all, it just melts in your mouth, it's that good. The eggplant side dish is also delicious, and is freshly made, as all of their side dishes. I particularly enjoyed the rice, which is served very warm, the brown spice on the rice is perfectly pungent, it bring out the flavor of the rice. I wish this restaurant is nearby so I can eat chicken or lamb kabob everyday! Prices are reasonable.

A friend living in the area had this on his bookmarks but lived a bit out, so my visit served as…read morethe catalyst to try out this establishment's $30 lunch buffet. I first tried the assorted kebabs. Unfortunately, the chicken had dried out and the kofta felt too crumbly. The chicken rice dish had quite aromatic rice but underseasoned chicken; seasoned rice alone can't substitute bland chicken drumsticks. The lamb rice dish had both aromatic rice and juicy, well seasoned lamb. I ended up combining the lamb pieces with the chicken rice. Out of curiosity, I tried a piece of their fried chicken. It proved juicy and not too oily. It would do well as a standalone appetizer in most restaurants. I also tried something that looked like lasagna, but without tomato. It tasted, to my uncultured palate, like a lasagna with some sort of cream or bechamel-like sauce. I quite enjoyed it. For dessert, my friend convinced me to try what I had initially passed over as oatmeal or tapioca pudding. The Omi Ali proved quite delectable, like a cross between bread pudding and oatmeal but with more nuanced spices and sweetness. I added it to my short list of desserts I enjoy, since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Overall, I appreciated the breath and variety. Some hits and misses are to be expected at a homely, ethnic neighborhood style buffet.

Service was okay and it took about 10 minutes to fill my order which felt pretty long considering I ordered one taco. But the food is fresh and they make things to order. Overall, tasty food and a great concept and I enjoyed my experience.

It's a chopped tomato cucumber salad. Everything was flavored really well. Doesn't really need extra sauce as it is pretty saucy (maybe a little too much) as is. The only item that could add to it is a little hot sauce but I didn't put any in it. Would go again.
