    Chicken Lamb & Chicken Kabob Platter - A takeout box contains grilled chicken pieces, seasoned rice, and a side salad with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.

    Ordered two platters last night for dinner - the lamb and a lamb/chicken combo. Both were so good. The kebabs are generous, large portions. The platters come with rice, salad, bread and chickpeas. You will be full as well as satisfied. Highly recommend!

    Our work had Reston Kabob cater our work lunch today. They were on time and when at the moment they were setting lunch up we realized we might be short on food, Masoud called the restaurant to order more quickly. he went back to Reston, picked up and brought it back. On top of that, the food was excellent! We ordered salad, beef, chicken, chick peas, naan, tzakiki sauce, hummus. Everything was delicious!

    We were celebrating a family birthday. Reston Kabob did a fabulous job. We were feeding a load of people with a variety of tastes. So, we ordered chicken kabobs, beef kabobs, and gyro meat. We also bought two different kinds of rice, salad, roasted chick peas in curry sauce, and pita bread. There was enough food to feed an army. The chicken and beef kabobs were tasty and delicious. There were tender with grill marks and had that delicious grilled flavor. I kept eating and loving the food. The salad was fresh, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, Greek olives, and a tangy dressing. It was refreshing. The chick peas in curry sauce are a personal favorite. I don't know what they put in that curry sauce, but it is fabulous. The Jasmine rice was cooked perfectly and the pita bread was fresh and tasty. I highly recommend Reston Kabobs for a family dinner or big birthday party. They did a great job and were really nice to work with.

    Came here around 1pm on a Sunday for lunch. Was not impressed. The floors and tables were not cleaned, there were crumbs, grease, and trash all over the place. Couldn't find a clean table anywhere. We ordered the chicken and lamb combination platter ($19). The lamb was tough. For a kabob place, the food was only lightly spiced. However, the rice and the sauces on the side were pretty good, and so was the bread. I would not recommend the lamb. Probably would not visit this place again. Have had better experiences elsewhere.

    This review is based on take out of two chicken kebob platters which came with rice, salad, bread and a side of chick peas. All top notch- chicken was moist, chickpeas flavorful and the bread was still steaming when we got it. The rice was fine - a little dry imo but everything else was so good that we knew it wasn't meant to be the star. The spinach side was creamy and 100% spinach which I loved. Ordered on their website and said it would take 20m. Went there on time and waited another 5. There were about 6 people waiting. Very clean inside and the guy grilling the meat was thorough- I could tell he put a lot of care in each kebob. Would recommend.

    Even after 10-15 years, Reston Kabob has not yet found a way to make bread that doesn't toughen instantaneously. For me, the wrap is the best item on the menu and plenty big for two. Platters are also great for sharing, but the salad is inedible. At least with the wrap, you get chickpeas on the side...even if they are lacking in spice profile. RK's meat is always cooked perfectly, I will give them that! But the bread and sides just aren't as good as Sheesh Grill in a Chantilly, where you can enjoy all three elements.

    Enjoyed the chicken kabob here. The chickpeas and potatoes were okay, but not too flavorful. A lot of rice. The white and green sauce were good as well.

    Really really good food. The meat and seasoning... amazing. And its freshly cooked in front of you, so the food quality is amazing.

    Came here with a friend to try somewhere new. There is some street parking and also a garage and lot across the way, which is a little more convenient. The menu is slightly limited with about 5/6 proteins and the option to have each as a platter, salad or wrap, with an additional 5 or so sides. There is plenty of seating inside, although we were the only people who seemed to be there to eat dine in versus takeout. My friend and I both ordered the lamb gyros and they were super good and quite large, we definitely could have split one! If you're in the area I definitely recommend stopping by.

I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.

So is the Vegetarian platter and tasting menu, aushak, quroti, and turnovers. You cant go wrong with saffron rice or the rice with carrots and raisins. Enough reviews already mention the four dips and soft bread, a cross between middle eastern bread and focaccia. Non alcoholic drinks are not an after thought, the sour cherry rose lemonade is liked by kids, adults, and seniors. Service is warm and welcoming, the Rumi quotes on the walls and turkish lamps add to the ambience, parking is easy and aplenty. A few tips: 1. Go for the lunch menu if you are feeding a large group. It is cheaper. Or consider making the trek to where it all started, Afghan Bistro in Springfield. 2. Ask for the daily selection of cakes. The pistachio and cardamom are the best, not too sweet, light, moist, and fragrant. Of course we devoured the food before taking pictures but a couple attached.

As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

I hadn't seen that before and I was skeptical before eating but wanted to try something different and it was incredible. My only pro tip is that when you order a veg main it's a lot of one thing, whereas meat mains come with a veg. Next time I will order the veggie combo option to get more diversity. Normally I write longer reviews but in this case I think I will let the food photos speak for themselves.
