    I absolutely love the search for authentic Pakistani food and recently tried this place on a weekday for lunch. They were moderately busy when I went, which is always a good sign. Upon entering, I saw what looked like a buffet, but it was actually a display of the "cafeteria" style food you can order. I opted for a "plate" which was a very large tin dish that that holds an entrée and two sides, plus rice. The entrées they offered all looked great and they actually had Kofta Anday, which is meatballs with hard boiled egg in a curry. I've always loved this dish growing up and Mehran did an excellent job with it!! Their rice was also excellent, as was their yogurt mint chutney. For side dishes, I opted for aloo muttar and aloo saag and both were stunning! The saag was spot-on perfect! The spice level in all the dishes was perfect as well, which means it had a little kick to it. So, for $14.99 I got all this food plus a bread, in my case I asked for a roti, which was pretty good as well, but next time I'd go for a naan. I really enjoyed this visit and will definitely return!!

    There is something wonderful to be said about walking into a restaurant later at night, hungry as can be, and smelling the wonderful arrangement of aromas Mehran is filled with. The staff was wonderfully friendly in answering our questions as we stumbled in out of the cold. I imagine the dishes would taste amazing any day of the week, but with the snow still heavy on the ground each bite of warm chicken tikka masala and nauratan curry gave us the strength to venture back outside. With so many options to choose from, Mehran is a place you can't go to just one time. The portion sizes are very generous so make sure you come hungry!

    What a great spot for karak chai and pakora cravings!!! Whenever I am in DMV, I stop by here for fresh vegetables pakoras and karak chai, it never disappoints. I am yet to try anything else on the menu but if you are looking for a place with delicious chai and crispy pakoras, this is where it is at. Plus they have free parking in the back which is a plus. Highly recommended for your desi chai and snack fix!

    Butter Chicken and Samosa Chat

    I used to be a regular at Meehan's location on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., so I was happy to see that they opened an Arlington outpost. I just ordered some food for delivery, and thought it was pretty good. Specifically, the naan, palak paneer, and samosa chat were all very good, but I was a little disappointed by the Butter Chicken, which fell a little flat compared to the other dishes - needed seasoning and more depth of flavor. I'll definitely go again, but probably not the butter chicken. Also, this time around I ordered on UberEats, and there was no way to customize your dish order (I wanted to order the Butter Chicken spicier than usual, but could not).

    Achar Chicken

    This place was recommended to me by other foodies. This is now my default place for Pakistani food. I had the Achar Chicken, and it was delicious. I had Saag Goat the previous night, and it was amazing as well. I can eat this everyday.

    Huge fan of the food here! The front may look unassuming, but there's plenty of seating inside. We got the Goat Saag and aloo pratha, both of which were delicious. I love the herby yogurt sauce that comes with as well. Will be returning!

    Lamb Tikka Wrap

    The lamb tikka wrap is as delicious as it is affordable! I would absolutely come here again.

    I recently came here for the first time and I had their lamb kabob wrap, which I thought was great. The lamb was tasty and the bread was fresh. The chai tea was great as well. I will come back again!

    Mutton Biryani

    It's been about 16 hours or so since we completely scraped the plates clean, yet I'm still thinking about this meal. My GOD IN HEAVEN. We ordered the chicken karahi (which takes about 25 mins to make), mutton biryani, and two beef samosas. When I say EVERYTHING was delicious?! - beef samosa-- large with really delicious, flaky dough. They're served piping hot with mint chutney and tamarind chutney. - mutton biryani-- soooo good! Absolutely one of the best biryanis I've ever had. It was well-seasoned with just a kick of spice. There were salted plums (I think) in it which added a nice touch. - chicken karahi-- a depth of flavor out of this world and well worth the 25 min wait! So, so delicious! (My mouth is watering as I type this.) it's served with two large pieces of naan which were also so good. I'm plotting on my return RIGHT NOW.

    My friend and I stumbled upon this place and decided to try it, not having heard anything about it before. We were pleasantly surprised to say the least! We shared a few things and each left with a container of leftovers and our total for the night was $38 after tax and tip, an insane deal. The portions were excellent for the money! We started with the vegetable pakora which were super crispy and you could tell they were made right before hitting the table. The vegetable biryani was massive, enough for 2-3 meals, and had great spice and flavor. The Shahi Paneer was our favorite, it had a sweeter tomato sauce with excellent flavor. The naan it came with was delicious as well. Before we left, the man at the cash register also let us try the gulab jamun which was probably the best I've ever had. Perfectly warm, soft, and sweet. The restaurant was very clean and as tables left the man was walking around cleaning them with spray. This place was an incredible find and I will definitely be ordering from them in the future!

It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!

You can tell the owner is really into Superheroes. I ordered the grilled chicken. The good thing is that it is cooked to order. Loved that. Downside, no seasoning, AT ALL. This would be fine, I understand dietary considerations with sodium. What had me perplexed was they had NO PEPPER in the entire restaurant. I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order.

They pride themselves as a healthier spot and the food definitely reflected that. We started off with drinks (they only do happy hour at the bar) and got the Mojito and the mediteranean martini. Both were good but the purple mojito was definitely the star of the show. For appetizers we got the "fried" cauliflower and the hot appetizer platter. The cauliflower definitely felt more baked then fried and the portion was quite fair. The hot appetizer platter comes with 2 cheese rolls, 2 falafels, and two kibehs. I will say, for $17, I would love perhaps 3-4 of each item instead of just 2 each. The kibeh were super tasty and so were the cheese rolls, but the falafel were a bit dry. For our mains we got the lamb chops and the steak kabob - both were fantastic. Simple flavors but really well done on both ends, with both cuts of meat cooked to order. I will say, I would love a little bit more side veggies- especially for the $45 dollar lamb chops but I assume they expect you to order more sides like we did. Quick service, Arlington prices, a bit cold inside on a cold day. Will definitely be back to try more!
